This year I lost some, gained some and lost it again, but my overall progress is good, though I really didn’t lose much overall. Even if I don’t lose 100 pounds this year, but I still stay on the same track I will still have less the 100 to lose next year. Again I would love to lose 100 in a year, but I don’t think it’s going to happen and that is why the title of this blog is not My Loss My Gain: My Quest to lose 100 pounds in a year, but just My Loss My Gain: My Quest to lose 100 pounds.

I have also changed my goal as I’ve lose weight. This year its changing to a more healthy range and will stay there for the rest of my journey.

Are you ready to see my overall weight loss for last two years… and a couple weeks this year!

I think I’m doing pretty well, though I’m not exercising enough I am cutting down on how much I eat. I am hoping that I can start exercising again very soon as I know I need to exercise so that this can actually be beneficial and I could be healthy.

You will also notice that I am measuring a few other things. I didn’t get to share what I tried out this week as I have been busy, but I am almost done with that post and it will be up next week!

So I did gain a pound this week, but I also see that my muscle is up just by a bit so maybe that is some of it as my body fat is down. I do feel different and my clothing fits different again too. So I’m going with I gained muscle and therefor gained a pound.

I love that I can now measure my water, muscle mass and fat percentage, it’s really putting some things into precpective. Now I just have to work harder to get my blood sugar down so I can continue exercising.

Okay that small rant done I am unhappy to say that my weight has come back because I was unable to exercise as my average sugar over the last few weeks has been about 280. The good news is I have gotten it down the last few days and was able to start slowly exercising, so I’m hoping next week will look better. I was able to do some light exercising on my Step360. I didn’t do a video, but some of the lower intensity exercises I remembered from the videos. I hope this will get me back into exercising and ready for next week where I am going to try the lose a jean size program again.

December 31st weigh in. (yes I realize I forgot last month)

As you can see I have gained and it’s showing. Hopefully I can get back down to at least 255 next week if the plan I’m following works again. We will see.

I have however lost some, learned a lot and am ready to try again… Yes that’s right I’m going to try again. I reset my goal in July, but I have decided after looking at what is in my healthy weight range to try yet again to lose 100 pounds in a year. My healthy weight at 5’6 is between 125 and 152 pounds. I don’t think with my bone structure that 125 could ever look good so I am aiming for 150 and going from there.

This year taught me to tell my friends NO and to make sure I always could get home so I could eat healthy, my friends don’t eat well at all and it’s hard to be around people who can just eat and eat and eat and never gain weight or at least if they do they look better not fat like I do.

I have also learned exercise can be fun, a lot of hard work and rewarding. I have found something that works for me now workout wise and I’m looking forward to doing more reviews so you also can learn and grow in your fitness.

Okay so I’m sure your wondering what my weight is this week and how that plays into next year. Well here it is a long with where I was a year ago.

Me one year ago

Weight : 271

Waist – 44.5
Hips – 54
Neck – 15
Thigh – 27
Upper Arm – 16
Calf – 18
Waist to Hip Ratio – 0.81

Current Stats

Weight 253

Waist – 43

Hips – 51.5

Neck – 14.5

Thigh – 25

Calf – 18

Waist to Hip Ratio – .8

Overall weight lost this year 18 pounds.

As you can see some things changed while others stayed the same. I did lose some inches, though most of this weight loss was during the last 2 months. I’m still proud of myself as it has been over 7 years since I was at this weight. Thinking positive is the key and it’s something I need to work on.

Though I only lost 18 pounds from where I started I know the truth is I lost much more then that probably around 30 or 40. I kept bouncing up and down because of my lack of control. This year though my goal is to keep control of my diet and exercise so that I can become the women I want to be, not the one I am now.

My weight today: 253

My goal for next week: 250

My goal for December 31st 2011: 150

Wish me luck!

My current Weight- 255
Next weeks Goal- 251

Waist – 42
Hips – 52
Neck – 14.5
Thigh – 25.5
Arm – 14.5
Calf – 17.5
Waist to Hip Ratio – .8

I know my goal is a few pounds, but as I said I believe I have water weight so I’m trying to factor that in as well. Lets see how I do. My real hope is that I can surpass the 251. The good news is I have lost a total of one inch in my legs so I’m happy with that.
