To honest, I expected more this week, as earlier in the week I had weighed less, but today is stats day, so I have to go with the rules..... oh well. So here we go:
Weight: 196lbs -4lbs
Bust: 35" -1"
waist: 35 1/2" -2"
Hips: 44" -1"
Thigh: 24 - 1/2"
Arm: 12" 0"
So at week 2, 4 1/2" lost and 4lbs, which is reasonable weight loss, not mad, as they say the slower it comes off, the more likely you are to keep it off, right?
I have to say, I'm very anxious to lose the weight so, in my mind it's not quick enough. But clothes are fitting better, I'm sleeping better (crucial to weight loss), have more energy, more mentally stable (apart from one glitch clear out of the blue earlier in the week). I am still in the process in coming off my anti-depressants and have another couple of weeks of coming off those, don't know if that's affecting that, Dr's seem to be split in opinion on the long term effects of SSRI's like Celexa. I personally believe that it has affected my weight. We shall see, when I am completely off them.
My goal is to look fabulous at a wedding I'm going to at the beginning of September, with it being a family occasion, the last thing I want is the family grape-vine to gossip that I've let myself go!
This week, I have to stay focused and increase my exercise, I'm doing Race for Life on Sunday, so I need to step it up..... big time!
Go Jen! Losing weight is not easy or fun but unfortunately slow and steady is better for you in the long run. I don't know how anybody would think you are letting yourself go, have you looked in the mirror?!? You are beautiful on the inside and out as well. I am proud of you and I hope you have fun this Sunday
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandie, you are so sweet, I miss you!
ReplyDeleteUnofrtunately, there might be a few people at the wedding I haven't seen since my mum's funeral, since then I have packed on about 25lbs, due to comfort eating and the like. Can't have people seeing that! LOL
You are doing it the right way Sweetie. I am so proud of you. You are beautiful Jennie... and Brandie is right! Look in the mirror and see what we see!! Our Beautiful friend!! Love you sweetie. You are doing great!! Keep it up :o)
