What’s your biggest remaining challenge?
My dear husband never says anything he doesn’t truly mean, so when he says he can see the changes in my body as I lose weight I know he’s not just saying it to make me feel good.
The way he expresses it is sometimes a little unexpected, though.
Saturday night, he told me he can see [...]

I know I still owe you the final Influencer post, but I had to interject this one!
So, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that I’ve made a big personal breakthrough: Exercising to lose weight sometime in the future? Yawn. That’ll last a few days. However, having a goal like riding my bike to work [...]

Well, down 3.3 more pounds for a total of 12.7 in three weeks!
-12.7 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-19.5 since starting blog
-36.5 from highest weight
I don’t feel deprived, I am enjoying (l.o.v.i.n.g.) the exercise I’m doing, and am so motivated.
This week was an extremely difficult week for a number of reasons. I’m glad I didn’t [...]

Well, down 3.9 more pounds for a total of 9.4 in two weeks!
-9.4 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-16.2 since starting blog
-33.2 from highest weight
It’s been downright enjoyable most of the time — definitely low stress. I credit the Lazy Waister’s Triathlon for getting me to exercise 1-1.5 hours per day, which virtually eliminated my [...]

Apparently, I shouldn’t try rudimentary arithmetic before my morning caffeine. I lost 5.5 pounds, not 4.5. D’oh! Thanks, Angie, for pointing that out.
Well, so far I’m down:
5.5 pounds since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition (BLBE) a week ago
12.3 pounds since starting to blog about losing weight
29.3 pounds from my highest weight
Very satisfying.

Lost a couple more pounds — Down 26.5# from my highest weight, down about 10# from starting this blog. I was relieved to get past 300. It’s funny how we attribute such meaning to certain numbers. The “round” numbers (no pun intended) are obvious candidates, but here’s my list of meaningful numbers:
325 — highest recorded [...]

I have blogged about how I love watching marathons (and triathlons). The women and men who compete are so focused and determined. Positively inspiring. Then, recently, I read a post about a woman of size who completed a triathlon. And my dream began! (Oh, that I would have kept that post in my favorites. Sigh. [...]

So, in a previous post, I mentioned that weekends were tough for me and I didn’t know why. Most of the typical obvious reasons don’t seem to apply.
BUT…
In rereading that post, I had a flash of insight.
(That’s where flashes of insight actually happen in the brain, in case you wanted to know.)
The key phrase for [...]

Hmm. If you look at the tag cloud on the right side of my blog, you’ll see that the two most used tags are commitment and weight loss. Hmm. In the past, I’ve focused my energies on any number of the other tags. Guess there’s a message for me here today.
Later, more on my Flash [...]

I am feeling really good today — my clothes are looser and I have more energy.
And, to be honest, I haven’t had to do much. I’ve employed two primary strategies to exercise more and eat less:
Schedule exercise and be committed to it (and have a Plan B in case life happens and I need to [...]
