Friday. Scale day. And today it said…I lost one pound. Woohoo! It went back and forth between 204 and 205 for a few seconds, but I had baked mac & cheese for supper last night and it settled on the 205. So that’s 20 pounds lost so far in 2012 and, since I put 55 stones in the Pounds To Lose jar, I’m more than a third of the way there.

I’m not fasting, using crazy pills or doing anything else possibly detrimental to my health.… Read More »

Even though I never did get the blog post written, I got on the scale yesterday for my Friday morning weigh-in. And after I got off the scale, I got to move three glass stones to the Pounds Lost jar. Yay!

WW said my first “sensible” target weight would be 212.8 but, since my ancient scale doesn’t do decimal points, I’ll call it 212. So I’m four pounds away from hitting that target weight, which means I’m four pounds away … Read More »
