More Sordid Tales from the Scale: March Edition

March 2, 2009

More Sordid Tales from the Scale: March Edition

Booooo!

Hello, Weight Loss Lovin' Blog Readers!

Cathy here, reporting monthly as promised, on my own utterly fascinating journey to better health and well being, and quite possibly to wearing size 10 pants again.

And this month, I can say this: losing weight sucks, and is hard.

Can I get an amen, sisters and brothers?

Alright, first the good news: since we last visited on this topic, I've shed a few more of those unwanted chub nuggets. I'm not sure what the math was from the last report, but since January 3rd, I'm down 11 pounds total. [insert somewhat restrained but nonetheless celebratory woot-wooting] This places the current weight calculation, as of last Saturday's semi-official weigh in, at 164.

I am feeling really good about this because one of my goals in this round of weight loss is to take it slow and steady. Nothing too over the top. No personal trainers. No crazy fads like Flirty Girl Fitness (though secretly, I really DO want to learn pole dancing). No starvation diets. And of course, no smoking. In short, nothing that's so extreme it'll send me packing all the way back to Lays Potato Chip and Couch Land.

So far…so good.

Still following Weight Watchers Online. Still using my treadmill every day for 30 minutes. (Although my secret weapon? Watching E True Hollywood Stories while on it. I never knew Jessica Simpson's story could be so compelling!) And still trying to make good choices instead of poor ones.

My next big goal? Break the 160 barrier. Some say it can't be done. Some say it's simply too dangerous. It's unrealistic. It's simply dreaming beyond achievable barriers.

I say LET ME DREAM. And pass me the Weight Watchers Giant Fudge Bars while you're at it.

    Keep up the good work Cathy.
    I too am trying to be healthier. I needed to tone up after my 3 kids.
    The scale is hardly moving but I feel better and for me that is a huge thing. So give yourself a pat on the back celebrate your success.

    Also, I LOVED your BPS class. I can’t wait to see what you are up to next. Your style is timeless.

    Wishing for spring in MN,

Can you tell I’m all broken up about it? I’m thinking the shoveling will be good exercise for me since I also can’t get to the gym.

    Yeah for you! Have to say that we started out at exactly the same point, but I went THE OTHER WAY, topping the scale this morning UP 5.5 lbs. UGGGHHHHHH. I hate winter and my constant hunger and cravings for comfort food. Guess I can’t do this on my own and may be joining you online shortly.

    You’re SO doing it the right way. Everybody sees the “Lose 10 pounds in 1 week” magazine cover and, heck, we’re Americans! WE WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION. But we’re fighting millions of years of evolution.

    So, great job. I’ve lost 30 lbs in 5 months, but there’s been a WHOLE lot of stress in the picture. Take your nice, slow weight loss. πŸ™‚

I woud like at least another stone and possibly an extra half by Mid May when i hit 40. Keep on going Cathy and everone else in blog land, we CAN do it.

    Minus 11 pounds since the start of the year is terrific! Stop being disappointed in yourself and bask in your accomplishment. I gave up a long time ago on diets and slimming down. I’m about the same weight as you and I’m happy with it. And I do enjoy my time on the couch, but I prefer Krunchers to Lays.

    I’m playing the Bright Eyes song for you! “First Day of My Life”…I downloaded it after DYL and love it. Am so loving your new look and excited to take more classes from you. I’m taking LOM right now- one of the challenges of your class was I had no photo organization and couldn’t find photos for layouts! Anyways, we are doing the “Personal Page Requirement” assignment, and one of mine is to make pages that are well designed in order to allow the viewer to “get it”– the story/emotion that I’m trying to convey. And thanks to you- I’m on my way!

For my height at a whopping 5’1″ I am in the “red” area at the Dr.’s office…wow I find it hard to believe that being 25-30 pounds overweight is “obese”. That really hit me hard…so like you and tons of other people, I’m trying to get it off!

    P.S. I really want to learn that pole dancing too! It looks really hard though.

One of the things my leader told us, which REALLY HELPED me, is to watch the BLT’s…Bites, licks and tastes…they all add up in the day (and esp. the day of a mom!) Hope this little “nugget” helps you on your journey!

I too set a goal to start after Christmas, then it was beginning of February and I still hadn’t started any serious weight loss, and now, beginning of March, I HAVE TO DO IT! If I had started when you did, maybe I’d be down 11 pounds too! We’re samers, as I got on the Wii fit today and it told me I was overweight, at 176. Woo hoo! I didn’t hit those numbers in either pregnancy! Guess that’s what the forties are doing to me! You’re inspiring, and I want to see your kind of results!

    Well done on the scales heading in the right direction. I too have been on the weight loss band wagon and have shed 34kg since the end of July last year. The treadmill is my friend too, although I aim for an hour.

    My trainer says that the first 20mins is just your body burning carbs so the more you can do after that 20mins at your optimal heartrate the better. Works for me.

    Amen, sister Amen!

    Losing weight after 40 is so much harder than I imagined! My body has gotten rather attached to those 10 pounds that I am trying so hard to loose. Would you believe that I have been working out for a month…and have gained 2 pounds!?!?! WTF???

    Amen, sister, Amen!

    Good job on the 11 lbs. I think it’s great and I like the attitude – slow & steady! And thank you for your inspiration – I’m counting points starting today and hope I don’t blow it by lunch!

    Can’t wait to see what’s in store – interactive with your blog readers? just can’t wait.

    So proud of you! I have lost 30 pounds, and gained that same 30 back. It five pound increments at least six different times. Good news, I still can wear the clothes in my closet. Bad news, seems like I can’t keep it off! At least it’s only five pounds, over and over and over and over.

    OMG!!! That would be the best picture ever for the front of the fridge! Talk about making you think twice when you reach in for a snack you really don’t need and aren’t even hungry for! Classic!

    I love your new banner/masthead – goes well with your “unemployed” theme. Looking forward to hearing about the new BPS class.

    It is hard to lose weight but I truly believe in Weight Watchers….it is the best.

    It becomes easier as the farmers markets with the fresh fruits and vegies arrive.

    Try some polenta….I never dreamed that I would love that cornmeal mush!

    Congrats on the 11 pound loss – that is so awesome! I wish I were the one recording that kind of loss on Sparkpeople, but I got to put in that I’ve gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks! WTH! I’m getting serious now too & you are my inspiration!

    11 pounds is AWESOME! I am working with you, although I have not been on my treadmill. I have too many great excuses not to be! Keep on truckin’ Cathy. We can both be where we want. It didn’t pack on overnight so it doesn’t come off overnight…

    Your comment about passing the Fudge Bars made me wonder if you’ve heard about the new WW program called incrEdible rewards. I just joined myself and thought I’d pass this link along just in case you want to check it out…our family is into their brownies, Giant Chocolate Cookie and Cream Bars, yogurt, progresso soups etc. so it will pay off for us to take advantage of the program. Just fyi. http://www.WWIncredibleRewards.com

    Why the “Boo?” You’ve lost 11 lbs, sister! It should be a “Yeah!”
