I got engaged March 21st, thus it was time to work really hard and get focused. It goes beyond wanting to look good on the big day. It stretches into knowing that if we are to have kids, I need to be more fit & healthy!
All in all, it was successful. I am really pleased that I took off 58.8 pounds during the engagement. Exercised regularly and really made a change in my body!

| Jan | 13 | 00 | 276 | -64.0 | End of Round One |
| Feb | 24 | 01 | 301 | -39.0 | End of Round Two |
| Mar | 21 | 02 | 311.8 | -30.2 | End of Round Three | Mar | 28 | 02 | 309.8 | -2 | Ahh...what a great loss. Better than I expected! Hopefully, this engagement will get me pushing full force again! 'Cause damn it, I want to look good on my wedding day and what's a better excuse for getting in shape??! |
| Apr | 4 | 02 | 311.0 | +1.2 | *sigh* Hoping it is just water from TTOTM |
| Apr | 11 | 02 | 311.4 | +0.4 | *growl* Damn... I really expected a loss. I can only hope it was the sushi the night before, though I used the low sodium soy & only about 3 tbsp... *sigh* |
| Apr | 18 | 02 | 306.6 | -4.8 | *bounce bounce bounce bounce* I am sooooo thrilled! I am just about dancing. Hooray hooray hooray hooray! Seems getting back to walking home from the train & getting my water in again is making a huge difference! |
| May | 2 | 02 | 306.4 | -0.2 | Missed a week away at a work conference. I am really thrilled that I had a loss after all I ate while I was away. Though I did make sure to exercise a lot and I guess it showed! |
| May | 9 | 02 | 305.6 | -0.8 | After a bit of up and down, I am thrilled with the loss! I am battling PMS so it all the more amazing. Hooray! | May | 16 | 02 | 302.2 | -3.4 | Hooray! Just goes to prove what getting back to some extra exercise can do with the weight loss. I wasn't even perfect foodwise, yet with the exercise it works! | May | 23 | 02 | 300.6 | -1.6 | Again...exercise makes a difference. Had a couple days where I went over some, but overall a decent week. Hooray. | May | 30 | 02 | 300.2 | -0.4 | Not too bad given it is normally a water gain week. Was good for the week so that helps. Hopefully, I will get below 300 next week. | Jun | 6 | 02 | 298.8 | -1.6 | Woohoo! Broke 200 for the first time in over 2 years. Hooray! | Jun | 13 | 02 | 297.0 | -1.8 | Another great week! Hooray. I just hope I can keep up the good work on this. *smile* I really think I can! | Jun | 20 | 02 | 295.8 | -1.2 | That was a much bigger loss than I expected given a pretty so-so couple days over the weekend. So hooray! | Jul | 4 | 02 | No meeting because of holiday | Jul | 11 | 02 | 292.8 | -1.8 | Down 1.8 for the two weeks. I am happy but know I could have done better so have to keep the focus sharp! | Jul | 18 | 02 | 291.4 | -0.8 | Still going down though should have exercised more this week & gotten in more fruits & veggies. It would have helped on the scale. | Jul | 25 | 02 | 291.8 | +0.4 | First gain since the engagement. I can't say I am not disappointed, but I also think I know what I have been doing to set me off track. Time to regain focus. | Aug | 01 | 02 | 286.6 | -5.2 | Woohoo!!! I can't believe it! I am not only down 5.2 for the week but it means I have lost 53.4 total! 50+ POUNDS GONE!! | Aug | 8 | 02 | 285.0 | -1.6 | So thrilled! Even more loss when I was still shaking the flu. Hooray. I am very happy with this downward trend. | Aug | 15 | 02 | Was away for a work conference so no weigh-in | Aug | 22 | 02 | 285.2 | +0.2 | I know it isn't much of a gain, but I must admit, I m a touch disappointed that after 2 weeks there wasn't any loss. *sigh* I know why...but still. Ah well. Time to refocus! | Aug | 29 | 02 | My birthday so I didn't go to work, thus, no weigh in. | Sep | 5 | 02 | 281.8 | -3.4 | I can't believe it! I thought after the Memorial Day weekend, that I was going to have a gain! Woohoo! | Sep | 12 | 02 | 282.2 | +0.4 | *sigh* Not a huge gain...Still. Ah well. | Sep | 19 | 02 | 280.8 | -1.4 | Hooray. Glad to be back towards the loosing side. *wiggles happily* | Sep | 26 | 02 | 279.6 | -1.2 | Woohoooooo! DOWN 60 POUNDS!! Hooray | Oct | 3 | 02 | 275.4 | -4.2 | YES YES YES!! Virgin Fat Territory!! I am soooo thrilled. | Oct | 10 | 02 | 274.8 | -0.6 | Small loss but after the terrific loss last week, I am thrilled not to see a gain! Plus this puts me at 65.2 pounds!! *wiggles happily* | Oct | 17 | 02 | 277.2 | +2.4 | This is water gain week so I am praying it is just that. However, I can't say I am thrilled. *sigh* I really thought it was a decent week and that much gain just really is upsetting. | Oct | 24 | 02 | 273.8 | -3.4 | Yay! Got rid of last week's water gain and another pound to boot! More virgin fat territory. *wiggles happily* | Oct | 31 | 02 | 273.0 | -0.8 | Okay...I have to admit a bit of disappointment with this week's loss. I thought it would be more. However, it is down on the scales so that is good! | Nov | 7 | 02 | 271.2 | -1.8 | Actually, I was worried about a gain! So happy to see a loss and yet more virgin territory! | Nov | 14 | 02 | 271.6 | +0.4 | I am sorta annoyed, but not terribly. It is water gain week so it was bound to happen. | Nov | 21 | 02 | 271.0 | -0.6 | Have to admit that I am a bit frustrated that there wasn't more of a drop. Just lost the water weight from last week. *sigh* | Dec | 6 | 02 | 270.6 | -0.4 | Thrilled with even a little loss as after taking the week of Thanksgiving off, I blew my points for 4 days of the week. *sigh* But the good thing is I got back on track this week and it seems to show. | Dec | 12 | 02 | 270.6 | 0 | No loss but no gain, so not terrible given the holidays. | Dec | 19 | 02 | 269.4 | -1.2 | Woohoo! Was just hoping to maintain but I actually lost! Brings me to 70.8 pounds gone. | Jan | 9 | 03 | 268.2 | -1.2 | Stunned!! I actually didn't gain over the holidays. Hoorrayyyy! | Jan | 16 | 03 | 266.2 | -2.0 | Shocked again! I really haven't been on track this week and I can't believe I lost anything! | Jan | 23 | 03 | 262.8 | -3.4 | Wow! Amazing loss in one week! | Jan | 30 | 03 | 262.8 | 0 | Disappointed that I stayed the same when I was on track & exercising more. | Feb | 6 | 03 | 263.8 | +1.0 | Very disappointed. I was on program yet had a gain. *sigh* Hoping it is just water gain. | Feb | 13 | 03 | 261.2 | -2.6 | Hooray! The pound from last week plus some is gone. Yay! | Feb | 20 | 03 | 258.0 | -3.2 | Hooray! I am 82 pounds down. *wiggles happily* | Feb | 27 | 03 | 257.8 | -0.2 | Seeing a pattern. And this seems to be maintenance week. After the 3+ pounds last week, my body is adjusting. So it is all good. | Mar | 6 | 03 | 258.0 | -0.2 | Not too bad for a water gain week. I am pretty happy overall. | Mar | 13 | 03 | 256.4 | -1.6 | Happy to see a loss after going over on Saturday. I am pretty thankful for it and just hope it doesn't hit me next week! *grin* | Mar | 20 | 03 | 255.2 | -1.2 | I am down which is what matters. Though I have to confess that according to my pattern the past couple months, I was hoping for the 2-3 pound loss. Ah well. Just tells me I need to get back on track 100%. | Mar | 27 | 03 | 253.8 | -1.4 | Woohoo! I am into double digits in how much I need to lose to get to goal!! I am really thrilled. | Apr | 3 | 03 | 253.0 | -0.8 | Down a bit more. And with all the wedding stress it is an achievement. | Apr | 10 | 03 | 252.8 | -0.2 | Have to admit, I am a bit disappointed... *sigh* But ah well. It was a loss at least. I think my weight loss pattern might have changed again. | Apr | 16 | 03 | 253.0 | +0.2 | Given the bachelorette party and weekend, I am happy with my weigh in. | Two weeks with no weigh ins due to the wedding and honeymoon! Woohoo. |
