Today is Monday November 14, 2022 and I weighed in this morning at 163.2 pounds...and  I looked in my phone and one year ago from today...Sunday November 14, 2022 I weighed 174.0 pounds. That means in one whole year I lost 10.8 pounds!  That is just so amazing to me. And I have lost 12 pounds since September 25th, 2022 as I was 175.2 then and I was also 175.2 pounds on Monday October 3rd, 2022. I am just so thrilled....a couple other things. On Saturday November 12th, 2022 I tried on my size 12 skinny jeans and they fit! They were not tight or anything. I have been in size 14 jeans for the longest time it seems and I am just so happy. I am hoping to get to the 150s by the middle of December but by March I hope to be in the 140s.  Actually by April 22, 2022 I should be at 140 if I lose one pound a week. I don't know if I will lose more than one pound a week or not. But the plan is to stick with it. I just need to keep eating within my calorie deficit and I should be good. Weigh all my food to be better calculated you know.

It is now 4pm and I am going to eat my chili that I made over the weekend and I am going to get ready for market basket as I am working there tonight and then I am going to try to punch in for 4:25pm if I can....nothing later than 5pm.

I will be there by myself for like 30 minutes or so before Ellen gets there. She is working 5-10 and I am working 4:30pm to 10pm.

But yeah! I am so happy about the clothes fitting and all that good stuff! I am down 12 pound since September 25th which is 7 weeks and I am down 12 pounds since October 3rd which is 6 weeks. So either way I lose about 2 pounds per week or close to it. Makes me very, very, very happy. I feel my brother, Dwayne is kind of my inspiration as he lost so much weight doing what he did. I hope I can get to a weight that I am happy with. I mean if I can get back down to say 150 pounds then that is how much I weighed when I first met him in July 2020. I was either 149 pounds or 150 pounds...either way..I gained a bunch of weight...but my highest was 180.4 pounds and I am so glad I am in the 160s...just gotta keep it going you know.

Today is Thursday November 10, 2022....I have tomorrow off from NSC NNE but I am working at Market Basket exit 17 here in Concord in the courtesy booth from 4pm to 10pm...to get some extra money since we do get holiday pay in a sense.

I weighed in this morning at 164.6 pounds and that means that I am up .4 pounds from yesterday. I am not very happy about it but I also feel like I cannot complain as I have been losing weight  probably more than I should be...I am hoping maybe there is a possibility that I can maybe get down to say 159 pounds by say November 25th only because of the fact that on October 25th I lost 8 pounds from September 25th to October 25th and it got me to 167. something pounds so if I can lose another 8 pounds from say October 25th to November 25th I think that would be a-m-a-z-i-n-g...right? And that would bring me to 159 pounds and I would so love that

So just a little update. So for the update...

I started the weight loss challenge with Jonah and Karyn and Hannah through the Facebook group total body transformation or something like that and the thing is this...I lost 6.6 pounds and 6.5 inches from October 17th 2022 to November 5th 2022 it is just amazing... I took pictures of my measurements and all that good stuff.

but  I have been feeling like the working out and eating within my calorie deficit is really helping me lose the weight. Cutting back on calories is helping. I have stopped eating when I get home from work at Market Basket as it is too late and just leads to unhealthy habits...nobody wants that if you know what I mean...

But I am thinking that maybe the reason I lost the inches is because I was alternating between lifting weights and cardio...so I have to see if that is something I should get back into if you know what I mean...

I mean I have basically stopped the lifting because I thought it wasn't helping but I am unsure if that is accurate or not.

I also have noticed the places that I have lost the inches are the band where my bra goes and the cup size too...they both are bigger on me now it seems and I know that that is the first place I lose it...but I am also seeing my jeans are loose in the legs and near the knees too so that is cool and I see it in the pants that I wear like the knit pants that I wear they are loose in the legs too so all of that is good you know!

I am finding that the not having soda and candy and junk food is really helping me out but some times i feel like i eat too many white cheddar rice cakes and it is now 9:14pm on thursday night and I am still at work at NSC NNE because I had to finish some things up and all that and I haven't gotten all my calories in but I do have tomorrow off from NSC NNE and just working at market basket at night so that is not too bad.

I am signing off...just wanted to poste that I am at the weight that I am at.

I would like to post more often then I have been
