No excuses. (I’m brimming with them, but really, there just aren’t any.)
Weight loss so far:
-17.8 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-24.6 since starting blog
-41.6 from highest weight
I’m back on track now, though. This actually was worse a few days ago. Â

OK, this is getting ridiculous. I could blame TOM or my mother (visiting), but reality is I exercised too little and I ate too much (and not of the right stuff). Interestingly, I’ve also been getting stressed/weirded out by being in the top three of the BLBE and I suspect I’m sabotaging myself somehow around [...]

Got on the scale this morning and realized:
Last week’s gain (plus a bit) is gone, which is good, so on track for the week.
The scale doesn’t have the power over me it once did — at this point, I get on about every other day to get some data to see how things are going. [...]

Down 6.2 pounds! Guess it must have been the two chocolate (nay, double chocolate) cupcakes I had yesterday
-21.8 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-28.6 since starting blog
-45.6 from highest weight
Of course, my first reaction was — the scale is broken! But I’d been losing steadily throughout the week, so I don’t think the [...]

Well, with no conscious effort, I think I’m going to ring in a big loss tomorrow on the scale.
(Let’s hope I’m not humbled and end up with egg on my face and a gain, eh?)
And I don’t mean “no conscious effort” in a bad way. It’s been effortless in a good way. I’m getting over [...]

My week’s been crazy, not me — well, no more than usual. However, I continue to lose weight, so apparently this is good for keeping me busy. I really haven’t been thinking much about food. (There’s a lot more time to do stuff, by the way, when one isn’t thinking about food all [...]

You know, I was just in the kitchen, washing dishes before heading to bed (can’t stand waking up to dried up dirty dishes) and I realized — I am a different person. I have made permanent healthy changes. I’m not perfect, but I do pretty well. And I will lose this weight, in time. And [...]

Down 1.4 pounds! I’ll take it. Rough week, unfortunate time of month, and other things I could have used as an excuse, but… I don’t make excuses any longer. No more excuses! Angie gave me a pep talk last week and said that this was my time to do this and you know what? Yes, [...]

I had a moment of clarity last year in which I realized that, until I learned to deal with stress better, I would never stop overeating to deal with stress.
Sounds obvious, right?
So I have experimented and found several things that work for me, not necessarily in this order or in every circumstance:

Well, down 0.9 pounds. I procrastinated weighing for a day because I was sure I’d be up at least, like, 5 pounds or something.
-14.2 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-21 since starting blog
-38 from highest weight
I didn’t do much of anything right and I’m surprised. I was sick and stressed and overworked and ate like [...]
