Almost every night, or at least every third we go walking and last night was no exception.  We walked the half mile to the track and then walked an additional 6 laps around the track and then home.  We were gone for almost an hour.  We figure we walked about 3 miles.

So while I’m not exactly firing up the Active I guess I’m more active than I realized…so perhaps that does explain the 1.8 pounds in 10 days…well that and eating cereal for dinner last night probably helped.

I am now only 15 pounds away from my goal of being at 200 pounds!

When I started this blog (or my original weight loss blog) I was at about 221 according to my Wii Fit board.  At first I yo yo’d through the ups and downs of 3 pounds here and 3 pounds there.  So much to the point were I lost faith in the Wii Board.  Then I discovered Wii Active and for the first 30 days I preformed with it like gang busters and it worked!  I lost weight!  My husband, my friends, my family all commented on my weight loss-though I often didn’t believe them.

Then I went to my endocrinologist and we changed up my Metformin to Metformin XR (extended release)…then I lost my job…and I stopped working out.  Even so my husband and sister both commented that “You’ve lost more weight”  Though I’m not believing them….I’m thinking that they are just being nice, but then I weigh myself and sure enough 1.8 pounds!

I’m shocked, thrilled, and encouraged.  I’m sure that a great portion of this comes from the Metformin–as I have often been told by women “I lost weight without even trying while on Metformin”  so I can only imagine the weight I could continue to loose if I just tried a little bit harder, stepped back into my Wii Active roll, and continue to really make an effort so that I don’t have to say “1.8 pounds lost, how the heck does that happen?”
