Weekly Weigh In- 1/13/13

I have good news! I finally hit the 30 lbs loss mark!

I'm very excited about this! Maybe more than I should, because I have so far to go. But, I really struggled at the 20 lbs mark. I hit 20 lbs, then I would gain a pound, then lose it, and then gain it again. I actually got very close to giving up. I almost quit. Then I found my motivation again. I made a small change, I committed to running on my elliptical for 20 minutes and somehow it created this big change in my attitude. I feel like I gained a better idea of what I need to do. I've been making better food choices and the scale is finally reflecting all my effort. Now, I better keep this up!

This week's stats:

 This week's loss = 2.8 lbs

Total loss = 30.4 lbs


I owe this loss really to my food choices this week. However, I ate out entirely too much. What I need to work on this week is making more food and avoiding eating out. So, the plan for this week is to do the elliptical at least 5 times this week for a minimum of 20 minutes and to eat more home made point friendly meals!

In celebration of hitting the 30 lbs mark, I will be hosting a giveaway this Wednesday so make sure you check back and don't miss it :)


For the Biggest Loser link up week 2 my total is:
Week 2 loss = 2.8 lbs
Total challenge loss = 3.2 lbs

  1. You GO girl! That is an amazing accomplishment. I can totally relate to you- I too struggle with good food choices. It totally sucks that weight loss is 80% diet and only 20% physical activity. You keep it going!

    Thank you so much for purchasing ad space with me :) Let me know what areas in particular you want me to help you with!

  2. Girl that is SO great!! Today was my weigh in day & I lost 5 lbs this week bringing my total loss to 12 lbs, in just a little under a month. I don't know how you are tracking your food but I am using My Fitness Pal & I LOVE it. It's an app on my phone & it's so easy to track my food with it. Just a suggestion in case you're not already using something like that. :) 30 lbs!!! You ROCK!!

  20. 30 pounds is awesome! i hope to lose 30 in the next 5 months before i go to greece... that's realistic, right? :)

    1. Greece, that sounds amazing! Good luck with your goal! Just remember that even if you don't have perfect weeks to lose that much in 5 months that any amount you are losing is better than doing the reverse and gaining. Oh and I'm super jealous of your Greece trip right now!

  23. Woohoo! Congratulations! Hopefully, I will have a loss this week. Last week was a gain and I'm pretty sure it was from the catered lunches at my new job. Esther Norine Designs
