melissa, checking in {july 6}

If you read my confessions yesterday -EEK- you would know that I was not expecting much out of today’s weigh-in. I will say, however, that I did have an awesome day yesterday. No junk. No bread. In control. It felt sooooooooo good. Amazing what that one little day can do. Can you imagine if I [...]

I got lucky.

That’s the only way to describe my weigh-in this week. Lucky. I am at 202.8 lbs this morning, which is only up 0.2 from last week. I have had a few horrible weeks where I ate everything but my right arm and amazingly, I am still down since the beginning of the power of one [...]

the strip-down-and-close-your-eyes-type of weigh-in

Yup. That’s me. I’ve been on vacation in Colorado since Thursday. We returned last night. I ate a shit-ton of crappy food. We are talking candy, beer, chips and salsa, you name it. I did make a *few* conscious health(ier) decisions. Just a few. I was expecting a much-deserved five pound gain this week. Instead, [...]

The Shrinking of Melissa:: Getting Up

The last few weeks haven’t been the best for me. Halloween candy = train wreck. I’ve been sick, the kids have been sick, my husband has been gone for weeks. I’ve been at home a lot. With candy. You get the picture. I *did*, however, make it to ALL THREE days of muscle work class [...]

The Shrinking of Melissa: Unrated Version

I had a horrible week. I totally fell off the wagon and then it backed up and plowed over me. Crap. I am sick. And sooooo sick and tired of being sick and tired. I haven’t worked out since last week’s weigh-in. I drank on Saturday night, proceeded to have a hangover on Sunday, along [...]

The Shrinking of Melissa: Better late than never!

I have been so busy the last few days, you know, EXPOSING myself and stuff that I didn’t get my weigh-in post done! I kind of had a shit week. I have been sick, like really sick… coughing, sooooo tired, and just totally run down. I sucked on the immunity challenge this week. I had [...]

The Shrinking (barely) of Melissa

Where to begin??? I have had a horrible, horrible week. Hello, repeat? No seriously though, these last few weeks have been seriously tough. I honestly think I am at one of the ultimate lowest points in my life lately. (not weight-wise!) Despite that, the week went fairly well. My workouts went a little like this: [...]

My Weigh-In and Getting a Few Things Off My Chest.

Before I get to my glorious results this week, I have a few things that I need to say. Now it’s my opinion and of course you don’t have to agree and I will probably still like you even if you don’t. ;p There has been soooooo much drama made over the whole voting-off aspect [...]

My Shrinkvivor Quest

Melissa’s Weigh-In:: Men Beware

I really, really wanted to call this post Melissa’s Weigh-In:: The Vaginalogue. It makes me giggle. So, it’s no big surprise that I have been in a slumpish funk lately. My husband lost his job two months ago, I have been struggling with awful knee pain, yadda, yadda… I have been also having some womanly [...]
