July 2013

Parenthesis are last month; brackets are from the start.:
147.6 lbs (156.8) [177] total loss=29.3 lbs
BMI 27 (28.7)[32]
Chest Measurement (fullest/smallest)- 38.5/35.5 (38.75/36.25) [42]
 Waist Measurement- 31(32) [36]
 Hips: 37(38) [41.5]
 Neck: 13.25(13.75) [14]
 Arm: 12.25(13) [13.5]
 Thigh:22 (23) [25.5]

I'm on a roll--don't stop me now!
Though I did/do have the flu so I haven't eaten anything or drank really in 24ish hours. So perhaps the weight loss isn't really so dramatic.

June 2013

Parenthesis are last month; brackets are from the start.:
156.8 lbs (163.6) [177] total loss= 21.2 lbs
BMI 28.7 (29.9)[32]
Chest Measurement (fullest/smallest)- 38.75/36.25(40/38) [42]
 Waist Measurement- 32(32) [36]
 Hips: 38(39.5) [41.5]
 Neck: 13.75(14) [14]
 Arm: 13(13) [13.5]
 Thigh:23 (24) [25.5]

At one point in the I got as low as 155 (28.3 BMI). But I have had some setbacks. I had my gall bladder taken out which has thrown me a bit off. I had to restart the medication as it made me too sick to take the full dose. I have just now arrived at the full dosage again. So, I hope to be back in progress. We also recently got a gym membership which I hope will really help to make the measurements smaller or at least make me visually tighter/smaller. All in all, good work Brittany.
Also--apparently my actual highest was 177, according to the doctor's office--so note the change in that.

Progress is Progress (May)

Parenthesis are last week; brackets are from the start.:
163.6 lbs (166) [175]
BMI 29.9 (30.4)[32]
Chest Measurement- 38(38) [42]
 Waist Measurement- 32(33.5) [36]
 Hips: 39.5(39.5) [41.5]
 Neck: 14(14) [14]
 Arm: 13(13) [13.5]
 Thigh:24 (24) [25.5]


So, not a whole lot has changed, but for my BMI I'm not longer considered "obese". Now I've fallen into the overweight category! *Celebrates*
And I think I"ve been measuring my bust differently. I think it may actually be 40 and not 38 because I realized I was measuring the wrong part--but that's still progress.

New Meds

On April 4 I started new medication. It's called victoza. On April 5th I had a rotten awful day. It was horrible. I had taken too much. The medication must be eased into. Otherwise it causes rotten awful nausea. So I backed off and have been working my way up. It's working really well.
One of the side effects is that it helps you to feel fuller sooner, or a lack of appetite. I've really noticed this. Since taking the new meds here are the new stats--Parenthesis are last week; brackets are from the start.:
166 lbs (170.2) [175]
BMI 30.4 (31.1)[32]
Chest Measurement- 38(41) [42]
 Waist Measurement- 33.5(34) [36]
 Hips: 39.5(41) [41.5]
 Neck: 14(14.25) [14]
 Arm: 13(14) [13.5]
 Thigh:24 (24.25) [25.5]

Not bad, I say. I take the medication in the evening so it will be "strongest" when I want to do those late night snackings. It seems to help with that.

Week 4

I shouldn't be discouraged but I am. Parenthesis are last week; brackets are from the start.
170.2 lbs (172) [175]
BMI 31.1 (31.5)[32]
Chest Measurement- 41(41) [42]
 Waist Measurement- 34(34) [36]
 Hips: 40(41.5) [41.5]
 Neck: 14.25(13.75) [14]
 Arm: 14(13.5) [13.5]
 Thigh:24.25 (24.5) [25.5]

Slow and steady right? I hurt my back and so I haven't done much the last two days. It is also very discouraging. I may have to take another mental health day because with results like these I feel like quitting.

Anyway, I took some disgusting pictures of my stomach. I'd been doing ab workouts and I really think there's already been improvement. But here's a sort of starting point.

Week 3

Not as good as last time--but progress! Last week's are in parenthesis:
172 lbs (175)
BMI 31.5 (32)
Chest Measurement- 41" (42)
Waist Measurement- 34" (36)
Hips: 41.5" (41.5)
Neck: 13.75" (14)
Arm: 13.5" (13.5)
Thigh: 24.5" (25.5)

I stuck to the diet (and have so far today) except for on Sunday. I needed a mental health day. I had a good breakfast but things went downhill from after church....
I feel a bit more hopeful.

Week 2

Well this is depressing--
I weigh 175 which means my BMI is still 32
Chest Measurement- 42"
Waist Measurement- 36"
Hips: 41.5"
Neck: 14"
Arm: 13.5"
Thigh: 25.5"

So, as you can tell I haven't lost anything.
Plus someone asked me if I was pregnant this week--and it wasn't a stranger.

I've stuck to my diet. If anything I've had less carbs.
This is very disappointing to me.
Perhaps next week will be better.
