Colletta Is Losing It! ~ Weekly Weigh In #1 ~ 3/4/2025

If you've not read my "Colletta Is Losing It! ~ A Fresh Start" post, please go HERE to check it out.  It is a post where I explain what is going on with my health/wellness journey as well as my plan of action.

~~~~~

So far I haven't been able to get the Zepbound to help with weight loss.  Even though my insurance approved it, my charge was still going to be over $1000/month.  I just can't afford that.  I'm going to call my PCP when I'm off work on Thursday to see what can be done next.

For now, I'll be going the diet/exercise route only.

I'm fairly pleased with my results so far.

My tracking week will be Monday through Sunday.  Here are some stats:

Weigh in #1:  Goal -1lb/week

Highest Weight ~ 301.6 lbs

Last Week's Weight ~ 301.6

This Week's Weight ~ 293.2

This Week's Total:  -8.4 lbs

*Grand Total: -8.4 lbs

Exercise Week #1 : Goal 3 X 30min/week

Monday ~ 30 minutes ~ Treadmill

Tuesday ~ 45 minutes ~ Walking Outside

Wednesday ~ N/A

Thursday ~ 45 minutes ~ Walking Outside

Friday ~ N/A

Saturday ~ N/A

Sunday ~ N/A

This Week's Total:  120 minutes

*Grand Total: 120 minutes

If anyone would like to join along, please do so!  I need all the encouragement I can get!

Weekly Weigh In ~ 3/23/2022

Once again (for the bazillionth time), I'm starting on a weight loss journey.  

My first mini-goal is to get below 280 lbs.  I'm giving myself a deadline of June 3, 2022 as that is my next doctor's appointment.  Yikes!  No pressure!

I'll be weighing in on Mondays and posting my results on Wednesday.  If you'd like to join in on the journey, I'd love to have some weight loss friends and support!

Feel free to use the "Weekly Weigh In" graphic and create your own post with as much (or as little) info as you are comfortable sharing and leave a link in the comments.  Or you can just report your results in the comments.

My Dad has been put on a strict diet by his doctor due to Diabetes and High Blood Pressure.  They set his first goal at 30lbs lost.  I'm hoping that we can encourage each other on this journey.

We're going to be using his diabetic scale to weigh in so that I can quit fighting on a daily basis with my cheapie digital scale!

Next week, I plan on letting you know what exercise I've done and also the number of days I've tracked my food using LoseIT! and stayed within my calorie range.

Weigh in #2:

Highest Weight ~ 297.0 lbs

Last Week's Weight ~ 3/14/2022 ~ 295.4 lbs.

This Week's Weight ~ 3/21/2022 ~ 294.0 lbs.

This Week's Total:   -1.4 lbs.

Grand Total: -3.0 lbs

Please let me know in the comments if you are on your own weight loss journey!  I'd love to follow along :)

Thankful Thursday ~ 1/7/2021

 

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

~A New Beginning! ~ I know, technically, it is just another day but New Year's Day is always exciting for me.  A fresh start.  A new year.  A new beginning :)  Happy 2021!!!

~Back to Routine!  Monday we started back to our normal routines.  (As normal as possible, anyway :)  Doug and Kaylee went back to work.  Laken went back to virtual school and I went back to peace and quiet as I go about my normal everyday tasks :)  Don't get me wrong; I love having them home.  But...eventually we all have to get back at it :)

~Bible Verses In My Planner!  Planners that I've had in the past included Bible verses weekly.  My current planner does not.  I saw someone on facebook calling on her friends to tell their favorite Bible verse so she could add it to her planner on a weekly basis and also include prayer for that particular friend of the week.  I loved the idea!  As of the time I write this, I still need 20 more verses to complete the year of 2021.  I would love it if you would add your favorite Bible verse to your comment.  I'm hoping to fill all 52 weeks :)

~LoseIt! LoseIt! is an app that I am now using to count my calories, keep track of my food intake and my exercise.  MyWW was just too expensive.  I can subscribe to Premium LoseIt! for 1/6 of the price of MyWW.  So far I'm loving it!  Counting calories is so much easier than points :)

~School Starting Back???  I got a notice from Laken's school that a January 19th is the "tentative" start back date for the hybrid in-school classes.  So Laken will "possibly" be going TO school on January 19th.  It will still be every other week in school alternating with virtual weeks.  Laken has mixed emotions.  So do I...

What are you thankful for/smiling/exited about this week?  Tell me all the good stuff!
