Loss of 1.5 lb from last week. Goal is to lose 4 more pounds to weigh 222 lb by Feb 17th.
I really think this could have been a 2.5 lb loss this week but I ate out at Thai House in Lehi then ate me a JCW's toffee bar shake. Plus a whole bunch of candy and junk on the Super Sunday party. Hannah's brownies were worth it. So was the layered dip and I guess my hot wings were ok... not fabulous because I was rushed.
I have a good scam going where I do cardio at Legacy Center or Golds then workout with weights at lunch at Golds M-F and Saturday do cardio in the morning only. Hopefully this exercise plan will continue to allow me to post good numbers next week and the following. It would be nice to buff up while slimming down.
Wish me luck as I push these next two weeks to hit 222! I do not plan on stopping at that point but 222 is a goal I set back in November so it would be nice to get to that point. I really think weekly weigh-ins has made this effort more successful for me. Nothing is more frustrating for me than to exercise, diet, sacrifice for 3 or 4 weeks then step on a scale and be told I didn't make a detectable dent. That I weigh the same or worse I somehow got heavier. It can really kill my motivation and make me want to quit (as well as want to damage property.) Weigh-ins every week keep me honest and are a much smaller let down when the scale tells me I didn't do as well as I thought I was doing a particular week. Don't get me wrong, I still get mad when a weekly weigh-in sucks, the anger just doesn't last for as long and I don't get as depressed.

good job!! It looks like you are going to make it. Maybe I will do a weekly weigh in - if Hannah does too... and maybe Randy...
GOOD JOB and luck. Yes, you do have to eat an elephant one bite at a time. You are inspiring the rest of us to be more disciplined. Now if I could just go from inspired to inspiring . . .
Way to go Harley! 1.5 is awesome- esp when you consider the party!!!
I could do a weekly weigh in...I just need to come to someone's house to use their scale. I fear the weekly weigh in though. Usually for me I think I am doing great and that number barely budges (mostly cause I am gaining muscle) and it depresses me. I have been measuring myself and like that route and like that I FEEL stronger and that already my clothes are getting looser.
