A (couple of) Weekly Weigh-Ins
I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted my weigh-in! I meant to get to it last week, even though it was a bad one.

That number: 266.8.

I knew that I had done very bad things in the two weeks leading up to that weigh-in, and a two-pound gain was the price.

But, I decided that I wasn't going to let one bad weigh-in pull me down. So, this past week, it's been a lot of swimming, some jogging and paying careful attention to what I'm eating.

The result: 264.2.

I know that's only about a half pound lost since June 5, but I'm just proud of myself for making the right decisions this past week instead of following my usual pattern of letting one bad weigh-in lead to another.

So, I hope that this good weigh-in leads to another good one next week. My goal is to be in the 250s by the middle of July, and I'm going to work hard to do it.

Onward and Downward!

It is so annoying that you don't keep it with this blog. Maybe you should just take it down!

Sheena! This is a great blog to find! Congrats on your continuing weight loss - your determination is inspiring and your honesty refreshing!

About a year and a half ago, I started my weight loss at 205 lbs. On a 5'2" frame at that! I've gone down slowly since then, plateauing at 165, then at 155 and now I'm stuck around 140-145 since January. I've still got, ideally, 15-20 lbs to lose, but I've been getting lazy about it. Reading your blog is really encouraging! Keep up the great work!!

Sheena McFarland weighed 160 pounds in sixth grade. She started at 290, and is now 264. She is working to get back to 160 as fast as healthily possible. She will chronicle her daily journey - the victories, the temptations and the cravings - on this blog. It will keep her motivated, and hopefully help others who are trying to forge a path through the diet and workout wilderness.
