I have been using the Lose It! application for the iPhone/iPod Touch for a couple of months now and I say it is a very useful weight loss tool as it allows me to set my weight loss goals and help me carry out any weight loss plan efficiently.
I am currently using Lose It! version 1.2, so I can now modify my program by simply editing my profile (this is very useful for those who encounter dieting setbacks). It also comes with a passcode lock, just perfect for those who don’t really want other people to know how overweight they really are.

The last time I had a weigh-in was 26 days ago and I was 134 lbs., unclothed. So when I weighed myself as soon as I woke up and found out that I now weigh 130 lbs., I mentally gave myself a thumbs-up sign.
One hundred thirty pounds with clothes on– could be a major nightmare for most women but for somebody who has been trying to lose weight for almost two years, I consider this a major feat. I feel lighter, my clothes are more comfy, and my asthma attacks became less frequent.

I am having those days. And like most women, I experience minor physical changes a few days before and during my menstrual period.
Just two days ago, I had a weigh-in and was pleased that unclothed, I weighed 134 lbs. But when I weighed myself right before starting this blog post, I was 2 lbs. heavier at 136 lbs. I had a very light dinner of brown rice, fish, and leafy vegetables so I know that it’s not the culprit. For most women who report bloating and weight gain during the menstrual period, the most common reason is water retention.

I had a very large Korean dinner last night. I had yukejan (a rich and spicy soup), bibimbap (sticky rice topped with egg, meat, and vegetables and drizzled with sesame oil), and tteok boki (rice cakes with eggs and vegetables), bulgogi (marinated barbecued beef), and an assortment of appetizers like kimchi and sauteed vegetables.
My companions didn’t like the rice cakes so I ended up having most of it. The servings at that Korean restaurant were large so I believe I had more than 4 servings of the rice cakes. I also had a healthy amount of the bibimbap and bulgogi plus a small bowl of the yukejan.

Whoa! My last blog entry was April 15. Meaning, it has been more than a month since I last updated this blog. I have a couple of excuses up my sleeve but I don’t think what I can come up with are acceptable. Oh well, here are the reasons why I haven’t been updating my weigh loss blog.
- I was out of town a couple of times–> Simply not good enough. Although I did some traveling, I always brought a laptop with me or there’s always somebody willing to lend me his so I should have managed to update this blog for a couple of times the past month at least.
