MY 100 POUND JOURNEY

Hello Girl-friends, It's been S-L-O-W going, but today I weigh 303.8. Only about 4 lbs from the 200's. I'm trying not to back track. Last week, I ate an entire Costco pumpkin pie in only 2 days. Couldn't resist it (but I did leave off the whipped cream). So far today I've eaten a big bowl of Malt-o-meal hot cereal with a tablespoon of sugar and a cup of coffee. I'm on track.

Occasionally, I go on Youtube and watch MY 600 POUND LIFE episodes to remind me to be careful with what I eat. It's so sad. My heart goes out to those people. I know how easy it is to get out of control with your weight. It has to do with a lot of factors. Most people don't understand that and make fun of Obese people. But we understand, don't we?

I so totally agree. I never in my life thought I would be as heavy as I am now. And I'm sure the people on that show probably said the same thing at some point. But at least we're doing something about it and I've never seen a show but I assume that they're doing something about it if they're on that show. Keep moving forward!

Update: 299.4 lbs today! Finally back in the 200's yay! It's been 9 years since I've been down to this weight. The next goal is to get down to 285 and lower. It's been 13 years since I weighed 285-260lbs range.

Good for you Lisa! 👏🏼 Congratulations! You won't let it sneak back up on you, will you? Make it your goal to stay in the 200's. You inspire me. 😀 👍 🦋

If I really want something sweet then I'll just have one jolly rancher or a sucker which lasts a while and isn't too many points. It usually takes the edge off.

One of the things I've been doing if I want something sweet is frozen grapes. Oh my gosh I forgot how sweet they are and how awesome they are when they're frozen. I'm bringing them back to my diet.

Thanks for the tip Jo-Casey and Nutbugs. Sounds delightful. I'm going to try it.

I LOVE to snack on an entire can of Garbanzo beans. I always rinse them first in a strainer. GOYA is the best tasting brand, according to AMERICAS TEST KITCHEN and myself. 😋 Watch their garbanzo bean review here:

They’re high protein and help with weight loss. 😋

I've been slacking and lost my new decade by a couple pounds. I've only gone up in September which is not what I want to do. I know weight fluctuates but I also know that I have dug into that peanut butter tub too many times. I just feel like I lost focus. I'm joining a new gym on Monday, (cheaper than my old gym) so hopefully it will be motivating. Wedding is less than two months away now so it's crunch time.

Here's to a fresh week! Happy Sunday!

Jo-Casey, what do you mean by “lost my new decade”? To me, a decade means 10 years. I don’t understand.

Warmest Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. 💍

Oh it's slang WW uses when you go into another decade of pounds. Like for me I was 230's going into the 220's. Just nicknamed a new decade.

And thank you!!!
