Jonathan weight loss update

17.6 lbs in 6 weeks. Good job Jonathan.

Pressure

I'm putting way too much pressure on myself. I expect a great number on the scale every Saturday. I want to control what my body does and when it does it. Realistically weight loss is not linear. There are hills and valleys. I'm trying to be ok with that. So I will post a update when I hit my 30 mark and every 10 lbs after. I'm oh so close but I need to trust that my body will do what it needs in order to be healthy. If it takes longer than the 6.5 months I've planned to reach my goal so be it. I'm doing everything right so I'll get there and I know it.

I asked Jonathan to do this waking hypnosis thing on me call NLP. I wanted to be disgusted with sugar and sweet treats. After he did it it didn't start working for like a week and a half. After that I couldn't stomach sugar for anything. I can't stand to even smell it. Ewwwwwwww!!! That was 2.5 months ago. So last week Jonathan was out of town for 2 days and it was a stressful time for me. My instinct before hypnosis was to stress eat something sweet. I really considered doing it but it only lasted like 10 minutes. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I really feel like sweets are out of my life forever and I'm happy about it.

Inches update

31 inches all over.

10 week weigh in

27.1 lbs. not my best week but after seeing this picture I'm not complaining.

Inches update and a bit of the real world.

28 inches!!!!

While seeing the scale go down is sooooo fun when you are losing weight. It's not fun to see it go up. I've had my downs with a few ups mixed in. I know the trend is downward, but I still get very frustrated when I see all the progress I've made in a week go away over night. Do I give up???? No way, hey i weigh less than I did 2 months ago. It's not like I over indulged to cause my gain. Human bodies are complicated things that don't always do as you think they should. But my clothes are getting looser even if the scale isn't my friend right now. (The exact thing happened last month too. The same days)

So if you are trying to get rid of some pesky fat. Don't let the scale discourage you and quit. It's all about perspective.

Jonathan made his first goal, and trend lines.

Jonathan has reached his first goal. He has lost 15 lbs in less than a month. He is now 209 lbs. His next goal is 200. I'm so very happy for him.

I'm adding in our trend lines from our weight tracker apps.

Jonathan's 1 month progress.

Carrie's 2 month progress.

The goal line is my new goal. I'm only 19.9 lbs away. 

9 week weigh in

I did it!!! I reached my first goal. I even surpassed by 3.1 pounds. Yay!!!!!
My total weight loss for 9 weeks or 2 months is ......………26.1 lbs. not to bad if I say so my self.

Inches update

26.13 inches gone forever. Also I weighed in early. Well I always weigh in on Thursdays because I have to for my measurements app. I reached my first goal. YAY!!!!!!! I'm not saying numbers yet. You have to check back on Saturday.

It seems so easy.

Compared to anything else I've done, yes it is. Have there been hard times? Yes there have. Instead of self sabotage I keep going and I haven't messed up at all. One thing I've done is that whenever I start to lose that confidence in myself I re listen to the hypnotherapy. It's really working and I feel free from food. It's fuel and that's it.

Losing weight is expensive.

Jonathan and I both need new pants. Maybe eating less will help balance it out. I'm down to 3 pairs that fit. The next size down I haven't be able to wear in 8 years so they look old. I can't believe I'm almost in a size 8 again.

Eight week weigh in

This is the longest I've been able to stick to a program in the last 18 months. It's the longest I've been able to not slip up. Since I'm not on a diet it makes it easier. Ok so I'll say it differently. Eight weeks since I've had only the desire to eat the best I can. I don't like to eat processed sweet junk. That was a big down fall before. If I "couldn't" eat it I would feel so deprived. Now I don't care for it. It really just grosses me out. Now on to my 8 week weight loss.



22.9 lbs. I'm just .1 lb away from my 1st goal.
