Zapatoes I know but I'm borrowing my folks scale, so I can only weigh when I can get over there.

Wanted to weigh again since being sick, in hopes that I've lost weight, but I've too sick to visit folks. And my appetite is coming back, I fear I'll just go back to where I was anyway. Sigh! We will see though. Maybe by next week I can get over there, or even this weekend.

I’ve been maintaining my weight between 168 and 173 since Christmas. It’s been rough though. Going back on birth control really threw me for a loop and I gained 16 pounds because of it.

My pants are falling off and my stomach looks really flat. I doubt I’ve lost anything though. I’ll weigh myself in a few hours.

I am hoping to get a reasonably priced treadmill for my birthday which is in Feb. It is the only thing I was able to do consistently when I went to the gym. Plus I get up so early I wouldnt feel safe walking outside and I am naturally a morning person and would love to work out at like 5

169 today. So no, I’m not really losing anything. At least my appetite has been down since switching the birth control to 1AM. Today I’ve had a couple servings of Life cereal, an iced tea, half a cauliflower crust pizza, and a ice cream bar. Everything added up to 880 calories. That leaves me with 400. Probably just going to have a Lean Cuisine for dinner.

Diet not going well,actually I am not supposed to call it a diet it is a lifestyle change.But I am eating way too many calories and not doing enough exercise.It doesn't help that the weather is really bad,cold wet ,windy.I am writing down everything I eat but not really hitting the mark to lose the weight I need to yet.

Weighed myself today. Down another pound. I've reached my first goal. Now just not to gain it back. I still have like 37lbs to go for my ideal, but my realistic is now 7lbs to go.

Thing is, I'm back to my regular diet mostly, but hubby brought this platter for us for the past few days and in it was salad and hummus. I was primarily eating low carb high fat and high protein. The ideal diet. But I hate making salads on my own, plus they never seem to stay as fresh and I also won't have hummus. I dunno. I just fear going back to poor diet because I'm both lazy and can't always get out for fresh produce when necessary. Well, let's see.

I got Panda Express today. I basically just picked at everything. Ate a little bit here and there. The Panda Express was the only thing I’ve eaten today and I haven’t had any of it since 1:30. My doctor upped my Topamax to 100 twice a day but I just started the double dose tonight. I got this Apple cider vinegar honey drink from the grocery store I thought I’d give it a try. I heard Apple cider vinegar is supposed to help you lose weight. So I’m hoping to lose a good amount of weight with that and the upped topamax and I’ll also be getting off my birth control in a few weeks. The last time I weighed myself I was 168.

170 today. My doctor is confused as to why I’m not losing weight. But the topamax is decreasing my hunger at least. My mom said this happened to her when she was around the same age as me and no matter what she couldn’t lose. My doctor is also going to have my therapist refer to me to a nutritionist. So far today I’ve had 870 calories.

I went to weight class and got weighed today,I have lost another two pounds,which I am pleased about,it seems I only have to reduce calories a bit about 700 a day to lose weight,to maintain weight I would eat 2700 calorie a day,if I reduce by 700 I can lose a pound a week.
Let's see how I get on this next week!

167 today. Weird but I’m happy. I drank a bunch of apple cider vinegar and green tea yesterday though. I heard that stuff is good for weight loss. And the increase in topamax too.

Still 167. I had around 1400 calories today. I was incredibly anxious and sweaty all day and moving a lot so I’m sure I burned something.

I gained 5 pounds in 2 days. Weird. I think I got my period though. I had cramps yesterday and I think I’m starting to spot very lightly. I had a med change last week and this med can interfere with the effectiveness of my birth control.

I weighed myself yesterday expecting to be 174. I was 170. I checked again to make sure and yeah, 170. So I mean yeah, I’m not losing but I haven’t gained since Christmas so I don’t know what I’m so paranoid about. I did buy some cookbooks today from the bookstore so I’m hoping I can figure out how to make a few healthy recipes so I’m not eating out all the time or eating TV dinners.

Besides the Coke today I ate pretty heathy. A bit on the low side at only 1,130 calories. I had a 4 cheese soufflé, an iced green tea, a capreese zucchini boat, a cinnamon Coke and a serving of reurvus rancheros on 2 corn tortillas.

Well I was weighed at weight class yesterday,I gained a pound,over the last four weeks attending weight class I only lost two pounds but I gained it back again.I am now back at the weight I was when I started weight class.Today's calorie intake not looking good,I made Balti curry and there's rice and naan bread and I promised myself some ice creme and we are having alcohol later.I have been planning this treat day for my niece and I for ages,so I am going to go ahead and have it.Tomorrow though I am starting strict,no more than 1200 calories a day,from tomorrow,every day from tomorrow onwards and I must exercise every day too.I do not want another month to go by with me not losing any weight!

If I can lose just 2 pounds a week, in 6 weeks I’ll be 158. I just need the friggin willpower.
