I beat the caffeine addicition!
Its amazing to say, but I have finally beat my addiction to caffeine. I started drinking coffee when I was 11 years old. That summer my mom (a teacher and TOTAL coffee addict) broke her ankle. Every morning I would help her get up and dressed and out to the kitchen table, and then would make her a pot of coffee. It didn't…

Weight Goal Met!!!!!
Well, I started this journey in Oct, 2007. I have officially met my weight goal of 170. If I go a little lower that's ok, but I don't want to get below 165. I am still working on my physique. I am at 24% bodyfat & would like to get below 20%. The last time I was below 20% was 15 years ago when I was 25. I feel like I'm in…

Excitement!
I am so excited. I got on the scale this morning for my weekly weigh in. I really thought I had gain weight this week, because I went to Texas last weekend and indulged on mexican food. Well I got on the scale, and I guess because of my work outs and healthy eating the rest of the week, I lost a pound! I have now lost nine…

Start of Week 3
I made it through 2 weeks! I lost my water weight the first week - 9 lbs actually. Then my 2nd week I lost another 3, which is still a good number. I am still set at losing 2 lb/week so I hope to be between 1 and 2 lbs a week, that would be great! I am actually becoming the person that doesnt feel like eating all her…

Great results!
So I posted a few days ago about this plateau. If my numbers were right today I broke free from it! But even if not, this made me feel awesome> I went to a party on Saturday after going to the University of Michigan football game (GO BLUE!) and I saw lots of friends I hadn't seen since starting to lose weight, and one that…

SUCCESS
I had my fitness assessment today. Ignoring the scale completely, I've reached a healthy weight. My fat% is between average and lean, and I was told not to lose anymore weight because I could actually have problems having a baby... Bottom line is, goal achieved. I'm in the middle of updating my food diary settings.......

Is that really me?
So I have posted on here how I struggle with the scale enemy. The advice I got, throw that darn thing out and think of other great things like level of fitness, how I feel, etc. Well it worked! I was at the gym last weekend and as I was running on the treadmill. I saw what I thought were a great pair of legs in the row of…

1993--
-- I believe is the last time I saw a scale reading as low as now. I weighed in this morning at 180.5, (but won't log anything until Friday-- ) After the birth of my 3rd child, when I still had some time and some self control, I worked hard to take off some baby weight and got even as low as 175 before I got pregnant with…

Me lose weight? No WAY...
When I started to diet (yet again) I decided I would not become obessed as I have in the past. Ok, so that didnt work. I weigh every day...at least now it is only 1x, big improvement. It is hard to not be somewhat obsessive when you have to log everything you eat and all exercise. I also know me, and this is the ONLY way I…

Today I had to go pick up my hunting license and figured to look for a new jacket while I was out there. So I search through the adult and find nothing that I am not swimming in and decide hmmm Im hitting the kids section. Sure enough an XL for kids fits well enough so I can have layers underneath it!!!!!! I have to get…

Can't believe I was only over by 13
So, I had one of those out of the house all day running here and there days today. I knew I wasn't going to get to exercise later in the day, so I ate a quick yogurt and got on the elliptical for 30 minutes, but was in a hurry to get out the door so I ate a protein bar and had some milk instead of an actual food breakfast.…
