The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Well, today was the first "real" weigh-in at school for the biggest loser competition. The good news- I lost two pounds according to that weigh-in. The bad news- I only lost two pounds!

Now, I've also been weighing here at home with my "special" scale and posted those numbers for you last week. They were NOT good this week:
Weight-202.8 (+4.6!), fat-39.2(-.4), water-42.1(+.8), and muscle-49.3(+3.1).

The ugly is obviously that almost five pound gain from last week- that truthfully is inexplicable at this point. I will take the three pound muscle gain, since muscle weighs more than fat and takes up less space.

I'm going to weigh again tomorrow and hope it was just an imbalance in the scale or a fluke. I'll report that for you.

It looks like I'll have to lose about 15 pounds in order to win the first money weigh-in in two weeks. That's do-able, right?!

Tuesday Weigh-in

So here's the new numbers:
Weight-198.2 (-2.8), fat-39.6 (+.5), water-41.3 (-.7), and muscle-46.2 (-2.3).
The minuses are good for weight, water, and fat, but bad for muscle. To be considered "healthy" for my height, the fat needs to be below 30lbs, so I have a ways to go on that.

I felt this was pretty good progress since I didn't get to walk much last week with having my injury.

Now, if I can just get through this weekend. Chuck's big youth event is this weekend at St.Simon's Island, Epworth by the Sea. They have GREAT food there! Soooo....I'm going to have to be very careful with my choices. I've walked all week so far, so will have to go every day to work off any extra I eat!

Pray for strength from temptation!

I'm HUNGRY!!!!!

I've been trying to fill up on the stuff that doesn't have many points- just not quite full most of the time yet! I get 24 a day, so you'd think that that would do it.....
We haven't gotten to the store yet for me to restock on some staples of dieting, like the 0 points progresso soup. I just remembered tonight one of my favorite desserts: peanut butter and sugar free chocolate syrup with apples. Nummmmmmmyyyyyy!

I messed up my ribs again, so haven't been doing much walking this week either- but I'll get back up on that tomorrow if I'm able.

I'll weigh again on my scale on Tuesday and report back then. Hopefully I won't be as hungry!
Thanks for checking in.

Biggest Loser Day 1

Ok folks! Here's the beginning of what I promised some of you. We are doing the biggest loser at school, and it started today. We will have biweekly weigh-ins for prizes and three money prizes totaling at least $250! Talk about incentive to do well! I will be telling you about my progress each week on my scales, as well as my progress at the school weigh-in.
Sooooooo, here's the first batch of numbers:
Biggest loser weigh-in: 202.1 lbs (yikes!)
Home weigh-in: 201 lbs, fat-39.1 lbs, water-42 lbs, and muscle-48.5 lbs. I'll explain more later about what those numbers should be!
I ask for your support and thoughts and prayers for me to stay strong. I fell walking with my friend yesterday. (surefooted llama, not!) I twisted my ankle slightly and bruised a rib. I'll be sidelined from walking for at least a few days. I'll keep you posted!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog spot! Here I want all my family and friends to keep track of my progress in my weight loss and exercise program. Then you can post encouragement or kick my butt when I'm being bad!
