I've had two losses of around 5 pounds each in the past 1 1/2 months from things other than my intentional weight loss. In late January, I lost 4-5 pounds over the weekend of my move from all the physical activity. I kept it all off for a few weeks but eventually gained a couple pounds of it back.
In the past 2 weeks of being sick, I lost another 4-6 pounds. The lowest weight while I was sick that I know of (I wasn't getting on the scale regularly during the worst of it) was 157.8 last Friday. I about fell off the scale to see myself under 160! This past week, I've been hovering in the mid-159s.
Not the recommended methods of weight loss, to be sure, but it is definitely nice to be seeing lower numbers on the scale these days! Only 1 1/2 months ago, I was struggling to get down from the upper 160s!
Goals: 1. Exercise-Cardio: 2-3 walking or DVD cardio workouts per week. 2. Exercise-Weights/Toning: 1-2 weight plus 1 toning workout per week. 3. Food: Increase veggie servings back to where they were. 4. Behavior: Reduce sweets.
