Did this just happen?

I have lost 14 lbs this challenge. Do you realize that is how much I lost in my first TWO YEARS with Shrinking Jeans? Holy crap. I feel so great about this! I am still hoping to make my Christmas goal of being under 200… but I am going out of town tomorrow, though, so [...]

Pinch me.

This weekend, I began Phase 2 of my South Beach Diet plan. Basically, I can add in a fruit and whole-grain bread serving each day, then will gradually work up. I had an apple on Saturday and it was DELICIOUS! Since then, I’ve been adding dried apricots in for a snack (along with a string [...]

Still Shrinking It.

This was week 2 on my strictest phase of the South Beach diet. We headed out to visit my husband at work for the holiday on Tuesday (thanks, Mother Nature) and stayed out at the rig with him until Sunday. I brought foods that I could eat, as well as ingredients to make a few [...]

Oh. Dear.

All hell broke loose this week, people. I was doing okay last week until the weekend… then I went out with some friends Friday night and closed the bar down. Had a bit of a hangover Saturday, but got up early anyway and did a charity 5K with my kids… then onto a charity golf [...]

Melissa’s Weekly Weigh-In – Shrinking Days of Summer Start!

No, I did not go spiraling out of control, but I have been rather lax with my eating habits and beer-drinking habits. Hey, it’s warming up here in old North Dakota and Leinenkugel’s [...]

My body is a bitch. Really. I’m pretty disappointed this week. My weight remains unchanged. I should be used to this by now. Down one week. Maintain or gain the next. What’s slower than a snail’s pace? Melissa losing weight! ;p I am super proud of this. I am also getting ready to leave for [...]

Melissa: Weekly Weigh-In

I didn’t weigh-in last week, since I was on my way home from Colorado. Friday, I left for Baltimore. Over a week of vacationing can sometimes make for an unhappy scale. I was feeling the pressure after reading about Brooke and Nancy‘s glorious victories because I didn’t want to let my team down. Up until [...]

Weekly Weigh-In of Melissa

Amazingly, I am down o.4 lbs this week. I closed my eyes and held my breath when I stepped on the scale. I haven’t made the best food choices. No time to ramble. The car is started. Going to the gym! Have a good week!

Weekly Weigh-In of Melissa

I ran/walked/ellipticalled 11.86 miles this past week. I thought I may have fractured a metatarsal this past week. Turns out, in fact, that I did not. Yay! I stayed in control of my eating this past week, other than a little candy over the weekend. I haven’t even had so much as a BEER this [...]
