I didn’t check in on Friday because I didn’t get on the scale — I was just too busy! But I have good news: I lost 1 lb.!!
OK, so it’s just 1. But because I’ve been so “off” lately, I’m ecstatic with this progress and I know it will only continue from here because I finally feel like I’ve got my mind right. I still haven’t had an Diet Coke since I started weening myself off. I’ve been working out more regularly, though I still need to get up to my former status of five days a week. Generally, though, I just feel better and I have more energy. It’s been great progress so far!

I’m hoping for another 1 lb. loss this week. Wish me luck!

I am Jennifer Dome, a 33-year-old woman living in Birmingham, Ala., miles from my Northeast-based family and some of my closest friends, but loving the Magic City, my BF and the friends I’ve made here in the South. I’ve lived in nine different states, plus London, and worked for some top-notch publications (Southern Living, Women’s Wear Daily) as a writer and copy editor. Now I am the assistant editor at a bass fishing magazine.
I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I remember, at one time tipping the scale at 289 pounds. At the end of 2009, weighing in at about 275, I started counting calories and exercising regularly, finally finding some success in this ongoing battle. After a scare from my doctor in early 2010, that success became even more important to my overall health. It’s still a challenge, and the scale definitely moves up and down instead of just down, but my confidence that I will reach my goal is solid.
