They Fit!
Plus-size shopping is tough sometimes. Unless you’re into paisley (no), polyester (meh), and sequins (sometimes). What’s worse is that many “normal” stores do sell some plus-size clothing—but only in an on-line ghetto. Thank you, Old Navy. I’m talking to you. Don’t try to tell me there’s anything “exclusive” about your exclusively online plus-size collection. I [...]

I’m incredibly excited to report that I lost 2 lbs this past week, bring my total lost to 20 lbs! This is awesome. Let me count the ways: I hit my next 5-lb milestone. As you can see on my Progress/Rewards page, I’ll be treating myself to some new perfume. Any favorites to suggest? I [...]

When I started this weight-loss effort a little over two months ago, I was not bursting with confidence. I felt nervous, cautious, and uncertain. I wasn’t radiating optimism or certain of anything at all. All I had was that tiny, perilously flickering glow of hope, that seed of “maybe” planted inside me. It felt like [...]

Sunday, November 15, 2009
Today marks exactly two months since I began this weight-loss venture. Two months of sticking to a plan and gradually increasing my exercise to 5 days per week. Two months = 18 lbs lost. I’m so close to my next milestone I can almost taste it. In terms of my plan, I don’t see myself [...]

Riding my bicycle to work this morning, I pedaled furiously through a green light (it’s one of those that only lasts a split-second) and realized that I’ve been doing this bike-to-work thing for almost a month now. This is a twice-a-week thing for me, balanced out by elliptical workouts on three other days and two [...]

At 18 lbs down from my heaviest weight with another 60 lbs still to go, I find that my weight loss doesn’t seem to be noticeable to most people I see almost every day. However, in the past few days there have been some little good signs that positive changes really are taking place. Sunday [...]

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I weighed in at 185 lbs today, registering a loss of 1.5 lbs over the past week and 18 lbs since I started eating less and exercising more. That’s great news, because it means that I have the 180s halfway licked! I’m satisfied with my progress and excited about the possibility of reaching my unofficial [...]

Monday, November 9, 2009
I experienced a honeymoon phase that started about two weeks in and lasted through Week 6 of my new weight-loss plan. I didn’t get too depressed about anything; in fact, I felt pretty great knowing I was finally turning things around with my weight, which has been out of hand for years. Sometimes, starting a [...]

Friday, November 6, 2009
You can keep losing weight even when you feel totally unhinged. In the past two days I experienced a major mood slump that threw me totally off-kilter. I simultaneously contemplated eating my previous words and re-joining Weight Watchers, eating three tubular tacos from Hula Hut at a time, reinventing my entire life, and what the [...]
