Well, I've been nearly stagnant in my progress. I'm at 153.2, but that means I haven't even lost three pounds in the last month and a half. I have been fairly diligent about exercising, but lame about watching what I eat. Slurpees, ice cream and seconds of everything have just been a little too tempting lately.
Brad says I can go out and buy a bunch of new clothes when I reach the weight I intend to maintain, but not before. He doesn't want me to need to buy more again in another month or two. It makes sense.
I have lost almost 40 pounds since beginning my quest to get healthier in January. I just need to find the motivation to lose the last 11 pounds. The promise of a shopping spree is helping, but not always enough to get me to make small sacrifices now so that I can have the rewards later.
The one idea I have is that I will try to keep posting my weight on here. When The DailyBurn took over Gyminee, the widgets stopped working (supposedly it's temporary). I'll transfer that info onto an Excel graph and put it on this blog. I don't know that very many people read this, but hopefully I'll feel the pressure to make progress. (Click on the graph and you can see it bigger.)
Does anyone else have any other motivating ideas?

Hello--- I know you don't know who I am. My name is Amanda I am friends with Jessica Barber.. I saw your blog when I was reading hers.. I have so many questions!!! I am trying to lose weight as well. I started in May at 189 pounds and now I am at 173 pounds. I swear I am stuck at this weight. I can do the excerise but it is the eating that I have a problem with. What do you eat and how often do you excerise?? I just thought you could help me sense you are doing such an awesome job with yourself. I hope to hear from you but I understand if you think I am crazy for bothering you.
ReplyDeleteHey Jen, I don't have any motivating ideas except to tell you that you look great! I looked through some of your pics on your other blog. Losing weight is hard and you should be proud of yourself! Good luck with those last few!
