Another gain this morning but I know it’s my stupid knee. I’m still all swollen and sore. I’m gonna put ice on it tonight and hope that that helps. *Sigh* I want so bad to jump on the elliptical but I really think I shouldn’t put strain on a joint that is obviously injured. I just wish I knew what I’d done to injure it!! I was just walking, for heaven’s sake!
Today I wore my pink jeans. I bought these jeans about three years ago when I was going through a pink phase. LOL I had pink everything, even sunglasses! Anyway, I loved my pink jeans but unfortunately grew out of them after I quit smoking. I started wearing them again a couple weeks ago - and I noticed earlier today that they are getting baggy. Wow, that was quick!
My friend Diane asked me today if I was gonna do a before-and-after picture. Now, she knows that I blog about my weight-loss stuff but has no idea what the web address is and I’m not about to tell her. This is a place where I can post whatever I’m thinking or feeling and so far I’ve only given out the address to one person that I know in RL (my niece - and I have no idea if she ever comes here and reads what I write). Anyway, I told Diane that I had done a “before” picture and that I didn’t want to do an “in progress” picture to compare it with until I lost 30 lbs from the first one.
What I didn’t tell her is that I weighed 270 in the “before” picture - so I want to get down to 240 before taking a subsequent one. Except for my husband (and I guess my niece) no one (in RL) knows how much I weighed before or how much I weigh now.
I probably won’t share that my highest weight was 285 with ANYONE - at least not until I get very close to goal. Am I weird?
CARTOON OF THE DAY

Oh dearie, I hope that knee feels better soon! Isn’t it strange to WANT to work out and not be able to!
In other news, if you are weird than I am too. I tell NO ONE what I weigh. Who the hell cares about the details… it’s all about how hot you look in your pink jeans!
OH poor baby - I hope your knee is better soon!
No, you’re not weird about the weight thing. I’m very uncomfortable sharing my weight, even when blogging anonymously I seldom share. I don’t want people to know, not anyone, that I was 295 pounds. I don’t care that I’m not anymore - because I was.
It gets weird when being questioned IRL about my weight, because people love knowing how much I’ve lost. They’d also love to know where I started, what I weigh now and try to trick me into answering roundabout questions. The only people who know are my husband, best friend of 18 years and my personal trainer who all know everything about me.
Yeah, I just shared my weight on your blog. But I like you enough!
Sorry about the knee. Not weird at all about keeping your weight to yourself. NO ONE on this planet except my counsellors at Jenny Craig know my highest weight. I am 30 pounds less still but struggling to get out of the 240’s

I have told few people my beginning weight and unless my hubby snoops, nobody I know in real life reads my blog. I know that when I tell people how much I have lost, they can probably look at me and do some quick math, coming up with a guess at my beginning weight. I will never directly tell people (other than on my blog), though.
Good luck with the knee!
You’re not weird - you’re pretty normal. Or at least you seem normal to me, and maybe that says something about me?? LOL Get well knee! Yea on the pink pants. Isn’t that a great feeling to see things changing like that? Delita
I hope your knee heals up soon!
You are not weird. Not at all!
No one knows about my blog except for Dave. He has never read it. I read some of the stuff that I post to him. I see my blog as a safe space where I can say whatever I want, share my feelings, and bitch like crazy.
OOPs I think I must be the weird one. My life’s nearly an open book! There have been times though where I wanted to rant about something but can’t because nearly everyone in my RL and my online life knows and has access to my blog! For the most part, I want them to pay attention. I like the support, but then there’s times when I want complain and now I can’t because they might see it. I also feel weird now that my blog is titled 310! FULLY announcing my starting weight and always stating my current weight ROFL. ::blush:: Hey I have my secrets, too which no one gets to know about except DH, but everything else is ‘in the book’ and on my sleeve! I don’t think you’re weird at all. I love your blog. I think your friend would too.
As for the pics, I agree, it would be more profound to have the before and after, without the middle.
Congrats on the pink pants! I hope your knee gets better soon. Try to do as much as you can that doesn’t aggravate it.
