Stats on the Progress page(I added measurements – should have started that when I initially started the info, but oh well!). I’m up 1.2lbs this week and I’m actually ok with it. I know that I wasn’t as careful as I need to be about my portions and keeping track of what I was eating. I’m also really proud of myself because although I didn’t lose on the scale, I have so many positives about the past week!
- I went to a wedding and actually made conscious decisions about the food I chose.
- I joined the gym and actually went!
- I didn’t eat fast food once. I don’t think I even went through a drive-thru window(except maybe Starbucks for a Sugar-Free/Fat-Free Cinnamon Dolce Latte;).
- I got myself a few new sports bras and t-shirts to stay motivated and not feel slobbish going to the gym(so that I can’t use that as an excuse!).
- Oh, yeah – and I started this blog!! Can I please just state for the record how much I can’t believe I was missing out on in the blogging world?? There are so so so many amazing and inspiring weight loss blogs out there and I am so glad I started searching around for them. It’s such incredible motivation and support to see how many other people are on a similar journey!
- I’m committing to signing up today for the FitBloggin Conference in March. I know I’ve just started with this blog, but this will be one more source of inspiration and something to look forward to. Anyone else already making plans to be there?
All of this and I don’t even feel completely overwhelmed – I call that a successful week!

Great job on joining the gym and starting this blog! I found you through the Healthy You Challenge and I’m looking forward to reading about your adventures!
Lillian you talk about all the other blogs being an inspiration, but you are an inspiration as well. Even though the scale may not have showed any weight loss, the fact that you’ve improved in so many other areas is wonderful! Keep up the great work!
Sorry, I type in my blog name incorrectly.
You have a fabulous attitude!! I bet you’re going to do awesome! Some weeks are better than other re; weight loss but as long as you keep up with the right attitude, you’ll see the scale move in the right direction next time!
Congratulations on beginning your journey!! I’m following you. I can’t wait to cheer you on
Let me know if you notice any relationship to wait loss/gain and your cycle. I can gain/lose 5lbs in a week due to hormones and have never been satisfied with tracking my weight because of it.
Good luck on this journey! It’s an admirable one!
