Weigh-In: 133.6 lbs
Lost: 0 lbs
Total Loss: 4.4 lbs.
No change seen for this weigh-in. Although, throughout the week my weight have been fluctuating. I'm surprised it ended with the same weight from last weigh-in instead of a weight gain. So I am happy about that.
Today is 9/20/11, and I started my period so when I weighed myself this morning I weighed 133 lbs. so I have lost 0.6 lbs overnight which is really good. I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill then moved to the cross trainer elliptical and did 30 minutes on that as well. Then I had a quick abs workout to finish my day yesterday.
I don't have an appetite today since it's my first day on my period so that might last until early afternoon when my cramps finally subsides. We will see if this is the big cause as to why I didn't see any change in my weight for this week's weigh-in. Next week might be a downer since I'll be going to a buffet tonight, dinner with friends on Thursday & anniversary dinner Friday. I will just have to work out really hard Wednesday, Friday morning & maybe get a workout in Saturday & Sunday morning.

Update - Changed my weight loss start date to 8/29/11
It turns out that the scale I was using was not calibrated so it hasn't given the correct weight. I have been using a different weighing scale since August 29. So now my start date has changed from July 11 to August 29.
So here's my progress so far:
8/29/11
Initial Weigh-In: 138 lbs
Week 1 -9/4/11
Weigh-In: 135.6 lbs
Lost: 2.4 lbs
Week 2 - 9/12/11
Weigh-In: 133.6 lbs
Lost: 2 lbs
Total Loss: 4.4 lbs
So far, in the two week span since I started my weigh loss program again, I am losing an average of 2.2 lbs per week. If I continue with this pace, then I will be reaching my goal of getting down to 110 lbs by the end of November this year.

Week 7 - 136 lbs. (2.7 lbs lost)
Current Weight: 136 lbs
Starting Weight: 138.7 lbs
Goal Weight: 110.0 lbs
So, I went AWOL...again. But although I have been lazy writing about my progress (little progress), I still managed to lose SOME weight although not what I should have lost by now. I haven't been consistent on my gym time because we have been busy these past few weeks going all over the place. I need to lose at least 10-15 lbs by 2nd-3rd week of November in time for our planned cruise.
Fingers crossed!

Week 2 - 137.3 lbs. (1.4lbs lost)
Current Weight: 137.3 lbs
Starting Weight: 138.7 lbs
Goal Weight: 110.0 lbs
It's the second week of my weight loss process. I try and make it a point to weigh every Monday but I made a mistake of weighing my self on Saturday morning, and that was after I already ate breakfast even. So Saturday morning, I weighed 136.6 lbs, which will give me a 2.1 lbs loss. You see, Saturday was my cheat day. I ate at Sonic for lunch & Jack in the Box for dinner. I tried to make the best choices for that day but since I didn't do any exercise, I went way over my caloric count. Sunday was no different. We had my in-laws over for the WWE pay-per-view so there were a lot of food. The deep dish pizza didn't help either.
At the end, I am still glad that I was able to lose a pound. This coming weekend will be crazy too so I will need to sweat it out for the next four days so I don't have to cry over the food I will eat over the weekend. So far, so good with my exercise & meals. I just need to be consistent & smart on choosing what food I eat.

Counting Calories & Portion Control
For my everyday meal & exercise tracking, I have downloaded an app called "MyNetDiary" so I can track how many calories I am consuming every day. So far, I haven't gone over my total food calories.
For portion control, I have learned that I need to read the nutrition label. Before I would have those microwavable noodles for lunch and eat it all up, without realizing that the label says that the serving size is 1/2 the container. So I am not only consuming twice the calories on what was written on the label but also consuming twice the sodium.
Since I can't seem to control how much I eat, say when I open a bag of chips, I followed the serving size written on the labels and separated them in zip lock bags. I also bought snack that are already individually packed in single serve sizes.
Lunch time, I don't really sweat it out so much so if I am not eating left over from dinner, I tend to eat fast food but I try and make it a point to pick the healthiest or less fattening on the menu. I snack in between meals too, like almonds or crackers. For my sweet tooth, I bought myself some Skinny Cow chocolates. I still eat regular chocolates, maybe a piece or two of kisses. And during dinner, I noticed that I am not so hungry like before when I was just snacking on junk foods. So now, I am eating less at night.

Week 1 - 138.7 lbs
Current Weight: 138.7 lbs
Target Weight: 110 lbs
Today, I am going to begin my weight loss journey. I've started before but failed to follow through. I am going to do my best to go to the gym everyday during the week, or go at least 3-4 times a week. During weekends, I plan to walk at least 30 minutes.
I am sure I will stumble and would hate going to the gym. But if I want to achieve my goal then I will need to drag myself to exercise. Also, exercise will not help if I don't change how I eat...
I will try my best to control my portion and try to eat more times a day but with less portions. I need to be smart about my snacking. I'd be honest, I am getting a little depress about all this but I need to get over it and just push through.
I will try and post every week for updates. But in between, I;d be posting how I'm feeling at a particular day so it can help me get over a hump.
