Just A Tiny Thing...
I have been feeling a bit frustrated today as I have been struggling to make any impact on my weight, and I have to admit it is mainly a vanity issue, rather than for my own well being. However, I just realised the difference that this site can make to you mentality. Firstly, I was going to have my fav' Mushroom Risotto…

Finally!
So, I weigh myself everyday. I know I'm not supposed to, but I do. For the past 3-4 weeks I have been stuck. Same weight in the morning same weight at night. But I knew in my head that the inches were coming off. And they really were. My "old" pants fit me like they used to and shirts were becoming less tight. So, I really…

After 3 years, the top finally fits!!!! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!
[Ok, please forgive me for this because I'm not sure how it'll turn out nor where - I've read and commented on posts, but had/have no clue how to post one or if this should have been a blog instead. And sorry that I tend to blab. Reading this is up to you, I'm just happy to express myself, even if not intelligibly. hehe]…

A Small But Proud Moment
So there is an old tobaggon slide place near my house. It has 166 giant steps that people now use for exercise. The stairs are not regular stairs, the steps are twice as high as normal steps. So back in March I went with one of my buddies to walk the stairs. I did 5 sets, he did 6 (with about 5 minute breaks in between)…

Plateau FINALLY gone - THANK YOU!!!
So, I've been weighing myself every Wednesday. The last time I had any kind of measurable loss was 5/19. And actually, that day, I had drank a ton of water through the day to get me through my first 5-mile run that night, so didn't weigh in until Thursday, and was UP 0.2. Then, last week, with another 5-mile run scheduled…

Successful Failure
Well yesterday was my birthday and I had a goal to be at 235 by my birthday. About 3 weeks ago I realized I wasn't going to make it so I recalculated a push of 3.5 lbs per week and pushed my goal up to 240 by my birthday. Yesterday passed and I was 5 lbs short of my goal. So I missed my goal by 5 lbs and my real goal by 10…

Spandex Slip-Up
I ran with my hair down tonight... because... after I started out it was becoming quite apparent that my spandex suck-to-your-body pants were in fact falling down and placing me in grave danger of public indecency. I had to remove my hairband to cinch in the waist a few inches. Spandex pants falling off my chub rolls! Now…

Biggest Loser
My work had a group of people start up a biggest loser contest. A friend mentioned it to me and said I should look into it because she knew I was trying to lose weight. I go up and the woman in charge says, we're already a month in - you sure you want to join now? I had already lost my first 5 lbs at this point but I…

I am officially under 150lbs! I weigh myself on an old school doctor's scale at work and I was able to move the big black weight down from 150 to 100 today!!! And with a 1/2 pound to spare - down to 149.5:) This was a big goal I wanted to acheive and I'm really excited about it. This is my last big goal before reaching my…

Being an inspiration to others....Man! this feels good!
So last week I had the girls in customer service asking me how much weight I'd lost and telling me how jealous they were of my progress. They kept saying how they needed to come to me and do what I was doing because they want to look like me!! One of them even went to Academy at lunch and called me as she was walking…

A small yet unexpected success.
The last few night I had a hard time sleeping.. why? Because my hips bones stick out! I was wondering what was underneath me, when it turns out to be a bone I had never felt before. haha, guess that's something I had to get used to now that there isn't a layer of fat to comfort me while I sleep. :laugh:
-
Finally broke 200!
I got on the scale this morning and weighed in at 199.5 !! YES. Finally! After I don't know how many years! I am finally in Onderland!

Who wears short shorts??
ME!!! Haha! :laugh: I wore shorts for the first time today since 5th grade!!!! I can't belive it. AND I wore them to the grocery store....around people!! :noway: Better believe it! I felt great and no one stared at me. My friend yelled at me from across the room "OMG!! You have leg muscles!!!" It was pretty funny. :smile:
-
rewards?
I'm trying to come up with some goals/rewards for myself. What were/are yours?
-
Success in other ways?
No weight loss lately but have a bit of abs (small bit mind you) starting to show again as with a few other muscles returning to a resemblance of their former splendor, with a new notch in the belt and a little more room in the bottom of my pants. Daughter even mentioned it, so something must be going right...

First week!
I am so proud of myself, made it through the first week, it was difficult but I survived! And now I've lost 4 lbs! I was hoping for at least 2 lbs but when my little wii fit said 4 lbs I couldn't believe it. I felt a difference in my clothes but I figured that was just inches... I am so excited, I know that every week is…

Lost 3.5lbs this week just by cutting out preprocessed foods
I can't believe it! I lost 3.5 lbs in 7 days just by cutting out pre-processed foods and only eating whole foods. I was a real skeptic about this before. I thought: how can I survive without my chocolate chip balance bars? But it worked! And I feel fabulous! I thought I was doing good before, but I have even more energy…

men are starting to look at me again lol

Past "Failures"??
In March 2008, I decided that I needed to lose weight before my wedding or I would never forgive myself. So I lost 30 lbs and (I think) I looked and felt fabulous at my January 2009 wedding. But then life crept back up on me....as did all 30 lbs and 13.6 on top of that. So on April 24, 2010, I decided to do something about…

I HAD to get some new shorts!!!
Last week I wrote about all my clothes not fitting any more. Well it has been so HOT here in Kentucky (upper 80s to low 90s) that wearing shorts is pretty much a must when I am not working. The problem is that I had only one pair of shorts that fit at all and wearing them for 3 or 4 days in a row was getting a little…
