I accidentally skipped last week’s weigh-in.  But, that might have been a good thing because my birthday was right in the middle of last week, and it seems like every night I was going out to dinner, and it was ugly.  That being said, this past week has been a recovery from last week’s eating, so I guess I can’t be THAT disappointed at the results:

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 251.2 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  +.6 lbs
• Total lost:  GAINED 10.8 lbs

The big change this week was that I cut out softdrinks from my diet (minus 2 meals).  It was really tough at first, but I replaced that craving with tea, and it seems to have worked pretty well.  Apparently softdrinks have a lot of sodium (among other chemicals), and that can lead to retaining water.  So I contribute some of this success to that change.

By the way, if you want to try some of the tea I was drinking, head over to Teavana’s website and look at the Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate.  It is so good!

On to the video…

Stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 240.6 lbs
• This week’s +/- :  -1.8 lbs
• Total lost: GAINED -0.8 lbs

VICTORY! Well, I mean, I lost a pound, but considering I have been working on toning up and gaining muscle, I think it is a success. Also, for this coming week, I have decided to give up soft drinks altogether. That means I will have to say goodbye to my beloved Diet Coke with Lime. It will be worth it though.

On to the video:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 242.4 lbs
• +/- :  -1.0 lbs
• Total lost: GAINED 1.0 lbs

A little backstory… I am hosting the BigRigg Challenge currently, and one of the participants, BigRaz818, has already lost almost 18 pounds.  So, BigRaz isn’t so big anymore.  That brings us to the poll:

Ever feel like you are going in the wrong direction?

Like I said in the video, joining the gym and working out my upper body is most likely contributing to the gain this week, especially considering I have been under on my calories every day this week (well, except for yesterday).  Here are the stats:

• Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
• Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 242.4 lbs
• +/- :  +.6 lbs
• Total lost: GAINED 1.0 lbs
