2018 MAY 5 -- Day 24

And here it is! The bounce-back I knew was coming. I weigh 369 lbs today. That's at least a two-pound up-blip from yesterday. I'm sure this is only temporary. There are two issues: first, I haven't visited the porcelain fairy in a few days, and second, it's shark week for me. Also, I have a fairly good inkling that that the extra greens I've been consuming lately have had something to do with this. We shall see. I'll just continue to diligently track my weight every day, and hopefully this up-blip will turn downward.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 367 lbs  
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lb


I also decided to try on my wedding dress. I have no idea how much I weighed when I got married. I wasn't trying to lose weight at that time, but my grandmother did mention that it looked like i had lost some, so maybe I was below 400 lbs then, too. I don't know. What I do know is that the dress was just as tight on me today as it was then. So maybe I was a bit smaller then, and I'm back down to that weight now?

It could also be that I'm bloated. I'm feeling pretty fat today. Even I, the behemoth that I am, have fat days and skinny days. I think every girl has that. Sometimes my tummy is much flatter than at other times. This is not a flatter-tummy day.

I made a Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole that I found from a YouTube vlogger. My husband ate two servings. He loved it. I ate one. He is also still eating carbs, and he eats two meals a day. He has two sandwiches for lunch, and here I am struggling to get 1200 calories in me in one sitting. Do you know how much he eats? With just the two servings of that casserole, it was around 1700 calories! And you know what makes it worse? He has lost weight. He was hovering around 233 lbs, and now he is at 227 lbs! Yeah. The world is fair. LOL

One of my goals is to be lighter than my husband. it's going to be a while. I'm 140 lbs heavier than he is, and he is making it ever harder by losing weight. Maybe I should try to feed him more. LOL I'm kidding. I'd never do that to someone.

I will not sabotage my husband graph:

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...
