I took about an 8 day break due to an ear infection. I decided I didn’t want to weigh because it might depress me, so I measured instead. I’m -6.75 inches in 23 days! Not bad!! Especially since I didn’t do anything but eat, drink and sloth for 8 of those days… Now, am I […]
CarbKiller has reinspired me. (is that even a real word? Reinspire? Oh well, it is now.) Actually, reinspire isn’t quite correct. I’m inspired everyday. But my motivation is severely lacking. But today, I’m starting anew, and I’m using this as my mantra: 12 weeks. That’s what it says. So from April 1 – June […]
The summer is over. The book has launched. (have you bought your two copies yet? why not?) and now I’m back. I’m officially down 35 lbs from January. I’m a happy girl about that. But I’m getting flabby because my workouts have been sparse and erratic. Need to get back to a regular routine. It […]

First of all, a huge shout out to CK for taking the blogging reins and running with them while I was at conference in DC last week. She is a rockstar. I had planned to blog as soon as I returned, but then promptly came down with the plague. Unfortunately, I did not vitamin up […]
Thought I’d give up, did you? Oh yeah. I saw it in your digital display today…There was a slight glint in your beady little digital eye. You just KNEW I would step on and you were going to get to shout from the rooftops +2!!! Well, you were wrong. I believe you shouted -2. Yes. […]

Dear Scale (again), You thought you could piss me off this morning when you gave me the finger, didn’t you? I bet you thought if you just showed a teensy bit of progress (fucking half pound. screw you) that I’d give up and dive into a bowl of cheese dip and a growler of Diamond […]
Dear Scale, Thanks. Seriously. That -1/2 pound that you moved this morning really makes all that hard work, my sore ass, and the lack of booze worth it. I promise, it didn’t feel like a fuck you at all. Loathe Love, Mel
Working out has been good. I haven’t started back running yet, but I am walking 1.5 hours 3-4 days a week, plus the circuit training at the gym. And last week, I added Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video to my workout. It’s 20 pretty intense minutes and it’s working. Well, my body shape is […]

Yeah, I announced it this morning on my personal blog (it is the MONTH OF MEL! after all) but I wanted to share with my fellow Fat Chicks (and Dick are you still around Joe?) I have lost 22 lbs! I get to buy my 20 lbs reward CD and I’m just 3 lbs away […]
I ran for 25 minutes today, and walked for 40 for a total of 4.5 miles. Yesterday I walked between 5 & 6 miles in an hour and a half. I can walk for days. I’m slowly but surely coming to the realization that no matter how much I want to be a ‘runner’ I’m […]
