andmaybetomorrow's Journal, 19 April 2010

I weighed myself with clothes on (no shoes) like I did to get my starting weight, but I think I was wearing way more clothes this time than I was a week ago. I got 263 exactly. I did it again without clothes and came in at 260.8. I think last time the clothes/no clothes difference was closer to 1 lb, and this time it was 2 lbs, so I think from now on I will weigh in with no clothes. Always at night, to stay consistent. This may bum me out when I go to the doctor and am weighed fully dressed with shoes on, but I just want to keep things as consistent as possible for myself. I really don't think I lost over 4 lbs this week, but like I said my start weight included clothes. Then again, looking at how many more calories I used than consumed this week, it totals out at 12,501, which converts to 3.57 lbs that should have been lost, so maybe that is accurate!

In any case, I am not expecting such a great loss every week by any means. I am signed up for the 30 lbs by July 4th challenge which I don't really see happening (3 lbs / week, I just don't think I'll keep that up), but it will be interesting to see how far I get. I just hope I can keep motivated for that long. A few years ago I started eating better and used Alli, and had great success--but I was in college, and it just wasn't a conducive diet when dorm food was my main option. I'm considering adding Alli again, but I've noticed that even though my caloric intake has gone down greatly, my fat intake really hasn't. Until I get that more under control I will stay away from Alli as the side effects from too much fat are quite unpleasant.

Anyway, it's been a long day, and I have just as long a day tomorrow, so it's off to bed for me!
260.8 lb Lost so far: 4.4 lb.    Still to go: 125.8 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Keep working at it. The best (and sometimes frustrating) part of starting out is figuring out what works and what doesn't. I'm still in that stage. Keep tweaking at your food choices until something that is enjoyable and thus, sustainable fits. :) I think the challenge is doable for you. Remember you only have to average 3 lbs a week. Some weeks you'll have more and some weeks you'll have less, but in all, I think it is a doable challenge. Keep at it and don't give up!!
