147 I was down to 145.5 before my period arrived yesterday and now I feel like I weigh about 40 lbs heavier. Ugh. I only get one or two awful periods a year, why now?

153.5. 11.5 pounds in 5.5 weeks puts me right at 2 pounds per week.

In some ways this has been harder than I expected, and in other ways easier than I expected.

Harder in that I've had to completely re-orient my eating habits. I've never been very good about always ensuring lots of veggies in my diet, and this has forced me to do that. Plus lots of whole grains instead of white flour items, brown rice instead of white, etc.

But it's been easier than I expected in that it's actually working ("it" being the combination of the new eating habits, with my renewed exercise regimen), and I guess I'm a little surprised. My weight has always been a struggle. So, the last 5.5 weeks have been very motivational for me, and given me confidence that I can get to where I want to be.

146!

141.8

Exercise is "spot on" but holiday eating is getting in the way. I know that I have to be good in both areas to lose weight.
