Progress -- Pictures

The pictures on this page show my progress over time at each of the short-term goals I set for myself along the way to my 145-lb ultimate goal.

Here are some "before" pictures:

February, 2015 and May, 2015:

My initial goal was simply to get under 400 lbs. I succeeded, and then I continued. Take a look!

Goal 1: Get under 400 lbs.

Goal 2: Get below 390 lbs.

Goal 3: Drop to under 360 lbs.

337 lbs as of October 31, 2018.

Goal 4: Drop to under 325 lbs.

Likely near my highest weight of 425 lbs when I got married in May of 2015 to now -- December 2nd, 2018 -- at 322.2 lbs!

Goal 5: Liberate the weight to below 300 lbs.

Coming soon...

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 ...

2017 SEP 1 -- Day 13

I splurged a bit on high-set-point food this weekend. I have regrets. I also have a rather large up-blip as a result. I ate pizza with my favorite toppings which is a very familiar flavor making it a more fattening food according to Seth's theory. Flavor recognition makes food more fattening, basically, because there are very strong flavor-calorie associations. Foods with very familiar flavors are called "ditto" foods, and ditto foods must be avoided. It's possible to change the flavor of the food so it is not a ditto food, but I didn't do that. The result: Starting weight: 415 lbs Current weight: 410.4 lbs ⇧ Long-term Goal: 145 lbs Short-term Goal: 399 lbs This seems like a huge setback, but I'm going to ignore it for now and just keep truckin'. I'm sure I can drop it again in a few days as I did before. The graph of my numbers since starting is very reassuring. I now know how to regain control. I simply have to remember to use m...

2017 NOV 7 -- Day 80

Woo! 374 lbs! Now we're cookin' with oil! Hehe. I know that's not the saying, but it fits better than "now we're cookin' with gas." I also don't want to have my body associated with gas. LOL My plans are really coming together for Thanksgiving. We do ours the Sunday before the actual holiday so that our friends don't have to worry about fitting our event into their schedules with their own families. We don't really have family. It's just me and my husband. Our family all lives in other states, and we don't have kids or anything. We're free spirits, and our holiday traditions reflect that. Starting weight: 415 lbs Current weight: 374 lbs ⇩ Long-term Goal: 145 lbs Short-term Goal: 359 lbs Thanksgiving is more of a glorified game night anyhow. We all sit around the giant TVs in our living room and play Jackbox games. It's super fun. My husband also bought the Munchkin board game and a whole bunch of expansions for i...
