Thin Cherry: A Weightloss Diary

Ah, this was a bit of a frustrating 4 weeks.  Not that I didn’t do well, I did.  On Thanksgiving morning (and a day or two before as well), I was down to 129 pounds.  Alas, Thanksgiving fell just 3 days before my official weigh in, so it stunted my results a bit overall.  It’s a little disappointing, but at the same time, maybe not.  After all, it was one day that I allowed myself such freedom, and I have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.  I ate quite a bit, but I didn’t overeat, and when it came to the “nibbling” part of the day, I satisfied myself with delicious blackberries rather than cookies or additional pieces of pie.  I will do the same on Christmas Day, which will likely have similar results on my measurement day next month, but that’s okay.

This month has been really good even if my weight is only down 1 pound in the end.  After all, I’ve found that I wear size 6 pants.  Now that’s an achievement!  I’ve never worn clothing that small.  When I went shopping, I also found myself buying medium and small tops, which was also quite wonderful.  Even with the stunted weight loss (all the more disappointing given how low I had gotten before Thanksgiving), I still feel this was a good month overall, and once classes end next week I’ll be able to put more into my workouts, making up for some lost time over the past month.  I really haven’t exercised nearly as hard this month, and I think increasing back to my normal level and beyond once I have some free time again will really push me closer to goal.

Enough rambling, time for the stats!

Stats:

• Weight: 131 pounds [-1 pounds, -36 pounds total]
• Bust: 34″ [-.5" , -4" total]
• Arms: 10″ [-.25, -1.5" total]
• Waist: 26.5″ [-.5", -10" total]
• Hips: 38.25″ [-.25", unknown total loss due to error in first recording]
• Thighs: 35.5″ [-.5", -8.5" total]
• Calves: Right: 14″, Left: 14″ [no change, -1" total]

And of course the customary pictures.  My top is getting so baggy on me that you can’t even see the differences, unless you note its excessive bagginess.  Maybe I’ll switch tops next month to fix the problem…
