The Curvy Nerd

I told you about my plateau mini-break yesterday, which accounts for the lack of weigh-in posts. But now we’re back in the saddle! Happily, I lost 1.6 lbs this week! I also updated my stats page, so it is nice and shiny with charts and everything. As I mentioned yesterday, I wasn’t sure about doing [...]

A small loss this week, but a loss, nonetheless! I am down another .4 pounds, which puts me more or less where I was before my gain two weeks ago (.2 lbs shy of it). What worked for me this week + challenges: I was rigorous with tracking, especially because… I only worked out once [...]

Suck it last week, this week was awesome! Ok, I’m ready to quantify: last week I gained 3 pounds and nearly fell out of my chair. This week I lost 2.4 lbs of that 3 — so I’m more or less back on track! Also, I feel justified in thinking that last week had something [...]

My company offered a complimentary health screening today, where employees could have their cholesterol, glucose (ie: pre-diabetic status), blood pressure & BMI checked. I decided to sign up because I am terribly behind in doctor’s visits, and wanted to double check that my cholesterol & blood pressure were the same as before (was tested last [...]

This is a strange week for me. You may have noticed that it’s been two weeks since I posted a weigh-in update. Last week, I didn’t go to Weight Watchers. This week I did. And I gained. This is going to sound monumentally stupid, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write a weekly weigh-in [...]

This week’s Weight Watcher meeting topic was the importance of breakfast. Suddenly, it hit me: hot damn! I’ve been eating breakfast for almost three years now!*throws confetti* I grew up stringently anti-breakfast. I was never hungry in the morning; I don’t favor “breakfast foods”; if I skipped breakfast I could eat more later in the [...]

Wellll, I skipped a few weeks of official weigh-ins, so we are up to week 18. (can I just say? I am the WORST PERSON in terms of getting up “early” on weekends for an 11 a.m. meeting. Which makes me terrible.) Last weigh-in was pre-Easter, and I will admit — I went off tracking [...]

As you all know, I’m a rabid Weight Watcher. I believe, hands down, it is the BEST diet/weight loss/lifestyle change program available to Normal People (ie: not rich who can’t hire a lifestyle coach/personal trainer). The New York Times has published a piece analyzing Consumer Report’s recent declaration that Jenny Craig is the best diet [...]

My weigh-in was successful today — I lost 1 lbs, which brings my total to 11 (down about 4 lbs since I put the screws to myself a month ago!), and puts me just 1 lbs away from my 5%. YAY. In an interesting follow-up to my “week without snacks,” this past week I had [...]
