Eric...where have you been???

Well, I have been around (rounder and rounder)...oops, I digress.
No, I have been working on diet, excercise...working, working, doing more work...doing calling, working, diet, excersice, lots of work, young men's secretary stuff...
Ok...so I've been a little busy to write. Of course, so have all of you...so I really have NO exscuse, but whatever.
BUT!!!! I have great news...as of today, I have officially lost a total of 11 lbs since May 4th.
It has been steady and seemed slow, but I am seeing results. Go me!!!
As of today I am 306lbs.
Wahooo!!!
Ok, gotta go...work to do...
I will try to be more consistent on the blogging thing...sorry?!?!?!
Thanks,
Eric

Shari Weighing in....

Ok. So I have lost a whole .4 lbs! I know not as much of a applause for that, but I can work with it. At least it is negative right?!

198 lbs

I'm counting it a victory

Yeah, this last week had some elements of stress, not to mention some unwise food choices! The fact that I maintained my weight from last week feels like a total victory. I did discover that, after limiting my sugar intake to 15 grams for the past few weeks, everytime I overdid the sweet dessert thing, I woke up the next morning feeling like my body had been poisoned. Hmm, what could that mean? I do better when I just have a small piece of really good dark chocolate once in awhile.

John also maintained this week.

I did get the info I need to get signed up at Gold's gym. So I will do that this week and it should help out. So, here's to a good week ahead.

So I am just going along, trying to eat my 15 gram sugar limit per day, and THIS happens! Goodness gracious, how exactly does one navigate a roadblock like this? It's not like you can ignore it, or pretend it isn't there. I suppose there is enough will power somewhere in the world to manage this kind of a problem, but I haven't located it yet. Oh sure, I could have stayed home, but then I would have missed out on a fun time with Sydney and Erika, and that is not an acceptable option either, not when one is a Grandma. So, all I am saying is--TROUBLE!

Shari Weighs in......

I have been super naughty this week, but still managed to lose 2 lbs.
I was shocked! The grand total is......drum roll please.......

198 lbs
35.1 BMI

Me again!

Hi all, Sue weighing in. No loss this week, but an inch off my waist. So I will take it. But I think we are joining Golds Gym this week. I need a little help.

Good news--John lost 1 pound. Slow and steady, right!?

Mark is doing great--let's all have a good week.

Mark Weighs: Proud yet not so proud!

Original Stats: 24o.5 lbs // waist 47" // BMI: 35.7

Current Weight: 221 lbs.

Waist: 43 inches

BMI: 32.6 (obese)

Previous week:

Weight: 226 lbs

Waist: 44.5 inches

BMI: 33.4 (obese)

Loss for the week: 5 lbs

Lost so far: 19.5 lbs. = 8% of my body weight.

Commentary: Looks like I found the winning combination. I am losing both inches and pounds and feeling good all around. I have found a very simple workout schedule that takes all the thinking out of the equation. I will share that secret next week. I am glad to be down to 220 but not glad to be 220. 220 is still very bad for me, so that explains the picture. Happy to be losing, just need to keep going!
