As I mentioned in my last post, Zak is on a 40 day juice fast. To quickly recap, Zak watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, a documentary film by Joe Cross about his 60 day juice fast that lead to an 82 lb weight loss, freeing himself of his autoimmune disease and getting off all …

Week 10 of Project Weight Loss was not a weight loss week. Week 10 was about weight maintenance. Actually, Week 10 was about survival. I won’t go on and on about how over-committed I was this week. I won’t bore you (you’re already bored, aren’t you!) with talk of all the usual madness topped with …

I can’t believe I’m writing about weight loss the day after Thanksgiving. I am still full. If you’re just tuning in, I’m working on postpartum weight loss and share Project Weight Loss updates on Fridays. Last week, after hanging out in the upper 130′s for 4 days straight, I woke up on Saturday morning feeling very ready …

Zak and I were in college when we met and started dating. He taught me how to play racquetball early in our relationship, and it came to be something we did together quite regularly at (my) school where we had easy access to racquetball courts. Whenever we played, he always won. I never felt bad …

Today’s the end of Week 4 of my little Project Weight Loss here, and not much has changed from last week to this week. Last week I weighed in at 143.8, today I weighed in at 143.6 Even if it’s not a lot of progress, it’s still progress. I’ll take what I can get! Today …

Project Weight Loss rolls on! Today marks the end of Week 3. If you recall, last week I hooted and hollered when I saw I was down to 144.8 from 146.0 the week before. This week instead of shouting “Hooray!” I said “Really?!” because when the scale said 143.8 this morning, I had a hard …

Well, it’s the end of Week 2 of my little Project Weight Loss here. Last week at the end of Week 1 I weighed in at 146.0. Today? 144.8 (Did you hear me shouting HOORAY at 6:30 AM, EDT today!?) I was VERY happy to see 144 on the scale this morning, especially considering I haven’t …
