Signed up for the gym about 5 days ago, strange, it doesn't hurt this time. I guess I must be taking it a little easier in my old (46) age...
excellent progress, keep it up

One thing is different this year, though: I'm eating a few ounces of chocolate a day. Somebody please tell me it's a health food
And another one down, and another one down.....126!
Just in time for my weekend cruise with my girlfriends. It was so fun trying on on my clothes for the trip last night. They fit soooo much better than they did for our last cruise just 8 wks ago. I've lost 10# since then! I'm only 5# away from my college graduation weight, 19 years ago
Hopefully I will at least maintain my weight...I do plan on enjoying the food, but I also have two intense dance workouts planned. If not, oh well, I plan on having fun!
Well, I didn't maintain, I gained 2#, up to 128. However, I had a darned good time gaining those 2#! LOL
Back on the wagon this week
At 175 lbs this morning with a waist measurement of 35 inches, BMI of 26.6 and waist-to-hip ratio of 95%. My goal is to get into the healthy weight range again by getting my BMI under 25 or my waist-to-hip ratio under 90%. At 5'8" with hips measuting 37" that makes target weight 164.5 lbs and target waist measurement 33.25". 10.5 lbs and 1.75" to go.
184.8 Monday morning, a new PR for me, down from a high sometime last year of 205.6. Still another 10.8 pounds to go.

Loosing weight is going to be more challenging. My agent contacted me last week to tell me a publisher is interested in my last book proposal (a computer book), and wants me to tweak, massage, and re-submit it for them . . . which means there's a good chance they'll pick up the project, then I'll be living to write on a deadline for three months.
It's fun (for the first month and a bit). It's exhausing (always). It's a challenge I really enjoy. But it's also hard to live healthy (really really hard), to exercise or eat well, when I'm mixing a big project in and around "work" (which is actually going back to school for a career change right now) and family. I'm already waking up at night because I can't stop thinking about school or book, but I also feel more alive, a lot better about myself when I'm running a regular writing gig or have a book in progress. It just feels like what I need to do.
At least I have been loosing weight. I'm half way to my goal weight at the top end of my BMI range.

Hi everyone!
Can I join the weigh-in group (without sharing how much I currently weigh...a woman does have secrets after all ) ?
Let's just say after having my daughter almost 2 years ago, I haven't been able to get rid of the babyfat . I officially kicked off my plan last week so hopefully I'll have some good news to post every week .
230.5 this morning...lowest since 2002........
Goal is 215 by the September........
Well, I didn't maintain, I gained 2#, up to 128. However, I had a darned good time gaining those 2#! LOL
3/19: 191.2 15.8%
Goal: 192.0 15.3%
Whoo hoo! Down 4.4 lbs after 1 week
Well done - DON"T go out and celebrate with a big meal
Nope, I've been a good girl (even over Easter!).
As expected, the long weekend of overindulgence (1 Chinese buffet, 2 Mexican lunches, 1 Italian dinner, 1 big Easter dinner, plus a whole bunch of ice cream, candy, and cookies) bumped me up a couple of pounds. So this week is a get-back-to-normal week.
129# Very frustrating! I was very good except one day this week (my Thai friend invited us over for authentic thai food...just couldn't turn it down!).
Keepin' on the same plan, hoping to keep temptation at bay!
