Sunday Weigh In

Weighed in at 199 again this week. Two weeks in a row. My scale measures down to the 1/10 of a pound and I was up a half pound from last week, but it was still in the 199 range, so 199 it is. In the last two weeks, I'm up 1.0 pounds. If I stuck to my "fries no more than once a week" rule, I probably would have seen a better number, but I'm not complaining. Three weeks in a row below 200. Yay me.

I had Ken take a couple pictures of me today. I've been using a particular picture as motivation for me to keep from being a big fatty again. It was taken at the beginning of my diet. Once I lost the first 50 pounds, I had Ken take a picture of me in the same shirt. Now that I've just passed the 100 pound mark, it was time for an update. So first, here's the original before and after:

Now it's a picture from this morning:

Now I know what you must be saying to yourself... "That shirt looks the same, but it looks like it fits. Did he run out and buy a new one in a smaller size?" Well, the answer is no. I just had the shirt pinned in the back so it didn't look enormous on me. See the next picture please.

It's a little big on me now, I think you would agree.

We went out for a drive this afternoon. I didn't feel like being cooped up all day at home (which is really unlike me.) I brought the camera and intended on taking a lot of pictures, but I didn't really take too many. I'm just going to post one or two more of me, because, well, it's my blog and I'm adorable. Here's me in the car with a stick o' carb.

And then, finally, a picture of me and Carol. We stopped by where she's working to say "hey."

Now I'm about to cook start dinner. A listener of the podcast sent in his recipe for Mac N' Cheese and I'm going to make that. I haven't had Mac N' Cheese in longer than I can remember, so it's going to be my treat to myself.

My darling, you were adorable at the Memorial Gala, but now you are simply smokin' hot and Ken had better buy a shotgun. You go, baby boy!

YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT IT'S UNREAL!

I don't even believe it's you, but I haven't seen you since like 2006 :( Can we hang out before I have to grow up?

Melanie said...

Now just hold ON there, missy Nessa! I knew him first, so I get first dibs on the new and improved Walt. Plus, I know how to distract Ken.

Walt, pumpkin, should I wear my Minnie Mouse costume or the Belle ballgown?

Wow! Congratulations, Walt! I'm impressed with your progress. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted. I did give you a shoutout on my show, so you may get some other people admiring your amazing transformation.

Take care!

You all are making me blush (or did I just get way too much sun this weekend and it's actually sunburn?)

David, I heard the shout out on your show over the weekend. Good luck to you. First five pounds are the easiest. Now you get to bust your hump for the rest. :-)
