I was joking with my husband that I have lost 40lbs...since I've gained and lost the same 4lbs ten times at least.

So I sort of went M.I.A the last few weeks. First a really bad sinus infection then I got an eyelid infection and pink eye, then halloween came and I totally got the "if I eat it all right now then I won't be tempted later" mindset...which sent me into a bit of a tailspin. I think I gained about 3lbs. Yeah, yeah, tiny…

My goal is 5-7lbs. I was going to go bigger but I need to be realistic, 5lbs is a smidge over a half pound a week. I'm just still holding steady. If I lost 7 I would be at my pre-preg weight. Then it's another ten to my wedding day weight. I can only focus on 5 at a time for now. It just seems so much more doable.

The other night I had my huscat take "before" pics. Then I cried. I know I've lost close to 15lbs (I started at 183 before MFP) and that is awesome but seeing me in shorts and a tight tank top made me want to punch something. BUT it also motivated me even more. The Jillian Michaels body revolution so far is amazing. I used…

I've done her 30 day shred in the past and loved it. If I ever won the lottery I'd hire her to come yell at me until I had abs. I decided to do 90 day Revolution because it's still only 30 min (less if you don't include the warm up and cool down) and when googling for info there was a board here on mfp of people who has…

Down a smidge this week. Started the Jillian Michaels body revolution last night...my muscles be sore today. Will I do all 90 days? Will I end up with abs? These questions remain to be seen. I'd settle for a smaller pot belly and smaller arm flaps.

My week has been neither here nor there. Although I've not been gaining I have not been losing. On Tuesday I had a work event and a lot of photos were taken and I feel like I don't recognize my body. Like I can barely look at the photos. I know part of it is my own deeply ingrained issues. I'm going to restart my more…

Scale stayed the same as last week so hooray! Today my legs are so sore from the hour of biking and 4 hours of walking I did yesterday. I was totally pms eating last week and am back on track(fingers crossed!) starting my stair walking today as well. I was looking in my work calendar and I had forgotten that I had set my…

Mostly I've been walking and taking stairs, I also tap dance for an hour once a week. Tomorrow a coworker and I are starting a lunch hour stair walk. We're on the 24th floor and it's 20 stairs between floors. It basically kills us during a fire drill. Today I biked a quad bike for an hour and right now my butt muscles are…

I am falling off the wagon. HARD. Or I fell of and am in denial. I just keep eating crap. I want to eat a salad but I get sidetracked and magically find myself eating a bag of chips. I feel like I'm in a weird haze and I feel gross like my stomach is too full of junk to even think about eating but I can't stop thinking…

Today I restarted tap class. So I'm sitting here on a Saturday night listening to muscles I haven't used all summer yell at me. It's so fun though! Another woman in the class had her pedometer on and we clocked in just over 1k of tapping! There is a circus school in the same building as my dance class and I've been…

Good Monday morning! Over all the last week was okay. Not brilliant not horrid. I've been focusing more on portion control since I kind of just was too exhausted from life to focus on eating mainly whole foods. I still lost another pound and a bit. I keep joking that I am the tortoise of weight loss. Today a male coworker…

Im starting my 30 days over again. Im pretending that last week never exsisted.

The past week has SUCKED hard. On top of putting my sweet, sweet dog to sleep, my mom had to put my old cat down(he was 17) and I got a ****ty review at work that I was completely blindsided by. I also walked 6k one day and a few hours each day so that evened out the eggplant parm sandwich I shared with the husband, the…

Today has kind of sucked. i am having a hard time not emotional eating. a well meaning coworker brought me a giant lindt bar, which I ate most of. Instead of my usual big salad and chicken I had a very greasy bacon sandwich. I also randomly burst into tears many times. My dog, who could easily run 5k with me this time last…

Day one and two done... Barely..I remember this being easier! Took my measurements Sunday: Arms 15 Waist 38.5 Hips 42 Thighs 25

This was one of my little changes too! I thought I would miss the half and half but nope...only complaint is now my coffee is burning hot!

Well my fretting was for nothing. I lost just over a lbs last week! I have to admit I'm at that stage where I always start slowly going back to my old ways. When I eat crap and lose weight I'm like "well maybe I can eat more junk if I still lost weight eating that" This coming week will be especially hard. We made the call…

Tomorrow morning is my weigh in and I am somewhat dreading it. Friday on was just a big old hot mess of bad food choices. Today I accidently forgot to have my snack and lunch(was shoppng and suddenly was late afternoon) Then I over ate at dinner and ate food that has left me feeli a bit barfy. I'm hoping the 10 hours I…

I have photos of me from when I was 19-25 and looking at them now some of them I cannot believe that at the time I thought I was overweight because I'm actually closer to being underweight! I grew up with a mother who was obsessed with being thin(still is) and I never ever thought that I was thin, even now she greets me…

Semi duplicate post from Gomi... Last night our dinner plans got derailed (the place we intended to go was closed.) so we ended up at a place that was delish but everything was very rich. It was tapas style so I was able to have a much smaller portion that I would normally. Got home and started to get into the mindset of…

Congrats on 30 in 3 months! Inspiring! You've probably gained some muscle if your feeling stronger. Measure yourself for sure!

Just replace squats with something knee friendly!

I am NOT a morning person but I also have to eat breakfast, I used to rely on cereal but since giving up processed foods the pickings are slim. I also have a very hectic morning of getting ready for work, getting a toddler fed and ready for daycare etc. Easy fast breakfasts: Egg whites, shake container, pour serving(I do…

Official start of Monday. i'll even measure myself to see the results! Hamflaps begone!

I'm down a tiny .4 of a lb. :grumble: BUT the scale said 173.8 which is exactly 10lbs down from when I started a month ago. So yay! :happy: Only have to do that...4 more times! After logging my food on Friday I am questioning if I am eating enough. I need to get a bit more militant about keeping track. I'm not hungry and…

This week was pretty good! Stayed mostly on track, had a few bites of ice cream and a couple of chips which are the things that usually send me into a tail spin where I find myself at the bottom of the chip bag/pint of ice cream wondering what the hell just happened. I've been eating this way for almost a month now, which…

My biggest challenges are my history of binges and compulsive eating, I have not binged or compulsively eaten in almost a month. I find it hard to say no to free food and I get into the mindset that if I have had this cookie..might as well have ten and then I just go off the rails and go nuts.
