I WIN!

Well, not really.

The Great Weight Loss Shame Off is OFF. As in no more. Turns out my opponent, Jess, went and started cooking herself another bun in her very productive oven. Congrats to her, of course. I think she's nuts (she already has 3!) but I can see where, if she keeps this up, she could get a contract from Lifestyle for a reality-based TV show. So, I get it.

I also get the default prize as "winner" of the Shame Off, even though today's weigh-in was poor. 150.8lbs. Seriously!? Can I get a break? PLEASE can I break 150 sometime soon? Please!!!!!!! (Yes, I'm completely ignoring the fact that I went to two birthday parties this weekend and ate lasagna, massive polish hot-dogs, and two lots of cake with oodles of frosting.)

As for that embarassing pic the loser is supposed to post, I'm debating letting Jess off the hook, given her situation. OR badgering her to reveal her belly on her blog. (Not that I'm even sure she'd do the last. Plus, it seems kinda mean. It's not like she really LOST; she kinda dropped out on a technicality.)

Let me see, which hat shall I wear today? Naughty or nice?

The Great Weight Loss Shame Off – Week 3 and 4

Last week I was soooo busy I forgot to post my weight *progress*. Ok, maybe I was busy but didn’t exactly FORGET. It was more like I did not want to admit that I went backwards.

Last time I posted, I was here. This week… I’m in exactly the same place. Still trying to kiss that 150 goodbye.

Although you don’t know it (because I *forgot* to post about it) this actually represents a week-over-week loss. Last week I was actually 151.8lbs. So, yay for me, despite drinking like a fish and eating truffled Mac and Cheese at 1am in the morning last week, I managed to get back to square one.

Whew!

None of this, however, bodes well for the 15lbs goal me and Jess from Dude & Sweeties set for ourselves a month ago.We’re 4 weeks in to our 8 week plan and I’ve only lost 2.4lbs. The only “good” thing is that I think she’s not doing an awful lot better.

However, with no trips planned in the next week, no relatives in town to take to dinners out, and a busy week ahead, I’m aiming to kiss the 50s goodbye. Last night I got out the ole Lean-Mean-Fat-Reducing-Grilling-Machine and meanly grilled some mango curry chicken, which Daisy and I gobbled up – she with tater tots and peas (yes, my kid eats peas – let the mommy hate begin) and me with just the peas.

Ok, well, maybe I DID eat a tot or two as I was dishing up. You see, this is my problem…

(This and about 30 other things, of course.)

The Great Weight-Loss Shame-Off - Week 2

Ok, so one solitary pound lost this week. Not exactly FALLING OFF ME, is it? Still, a loss is a loss. Wonder how Jess is doing over at http://www.dudeandsweeties.com/?

This coming week will be a real test. I'm in San Francisco with family all weekend then in Chicago for 4 days for work the following week. Big cities with cool restaurants always make me want to eat my face off.

The Great Weight-Loss Shame-Off - Week 1

This is going to a quick one because I've got to get out the door this morning...

WEIGHT LOST: 1.6lbs

Honestly, I have not been as good on my diet as I could have been this past week. Shame on me. So any loss is a win. Eyes on the prize. Eyes on the prize.

The Great Weight-Loss Shame-Off

I am dieting again. (Pause to allow you to groan.)

This time I've added a twist, however. I'm competing to my finish line (15lbs) with fellow blogger, Jess, of Dude and Sweetie.

Rules are as follows:

1. Picture of ourselves on the scale this week, on our blogs, at our starting weight
2. Goal is 15lbs
3. We're giving ourselves until the end of October
4. On November 1, we take another pic of ourselves on the scale and determine who is the winner. 
5. Person closest to 15lbs wins, unless we lose more. Basically, most loss wins.
6. Loser is subjected to a grungy, early-morning (or late night), no-make-up, no-hairdo, no touch-up, potentially double-chinned photo, at the time, place and location of our husbands' choice, which will be posted on our blog to shame us.

 So, shamefully, here I am.

I love that there is a "Caution" sticker between my feet. Exactly.

Yes, the last time I subjected you to my weekly weigh-ins, I had achieved 147lbs. So shame on me already for putting 5lbs back on.

And because I'm a little bit of a masochist, I plan to post my weigh-in photo every Tuesday, not just on November 1.
