Re-Introduction.
So...I fell off the wagon for a year. Let me start from the beginning. Heart issues, Diabetes, Overweight, Junk Food Addict, infertility ...the whole shebang. 283 Pounds at 5 foot 7. Life sucked and I was on 12 medications a day. Joined here...ate healthy, exercised, lost 62 pounds! You know what happened? After 13 years…

Another evil scale tale...
I have been doing realllly well. I am almost to my 40 lb. mark since April 9th. Woohoo! Great! Well....let me tell ya what that evil scale is doing to me! :mad: I am a chronic weigh-in junkie. I can't help it. It will never change. :drinker: At first I was mad because the weight wasn't coming off, but I was losing MAJOR…

Woohoo! Roller coasters! NSV
We go to Six Flags often (a few times a summer) because it is close and I love roller coasters. I used to love going on the roller coasters and just having a blast with my husband and daughter. Sadly, a few years ago I became too big to fit on the rides I wanted to ride. :brokenheart: I was embarrassed and ashamed. I gave…

Going to Six Flags
I am going to Six Flags tomorrow. The last time we were there I wasn't in the best of health and maybe a little bigger than I am now. I am still absolutely terrified that I am going to be too big for a roller coaster! I have never had a problem with them before (close on the Batman because of my chest size) but I am so…

Same shirt, different day! (Part 2)
I know 30 pounds in sixty days is "too much", but I am under the care of 3 doctors and a dietitian. They get my food and exercise logs. They are not concerned due to the thyroid meds, my starting weight, and incorporating more exercise. They expected me to lose this much. They expect it to slow down soon, but I am going to…

Another small NSV...
According to my dietitian's calculations, I have moved from "Morbidly Obese" to just "Obese". Hey, I will take it! :wink: It is awesome to move down to that next level.

Headache while biking...
I am going to call my doctor on Monday morning. I just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem. It is only when I am on my bike. I am wondering if it has something do with the position of my arms and being hunched over. It happens whether I have my helmet on or off. It feels like my head is going to explode!…

Same shirt, different day!
These pictures were taken 4 weeks apart. There wasn't a huge drop in the scale at the time (13 lbs. lost) but to see that shirt fit so differently brought me to tears! Edit: I have to make the picture smaller, for now you will have to open it in a new tab. :(

Lists :)
I am a stay at home mom, so I have to give myself a routine or I find myself laying around all day drooling on myself. A few weeks ago I decided to make challenge lists for each part of my day to keep me going. Even if you don't stay home you can make these lists to conform to your lifestyle. It just organizes my life a…

My best investment yet!
I hope this is the right area for this...but I recently picked up this thing called "The Perfect Beaker" I picked mine up at a yard sale for a quarter! However, if it broke, I would spend 10 bucks on another one. I still need to invest in a food scale, but this thing is AMAZING. And since it is just one beaker, it is easy…

So confused!
OK, so let me preface this with this: I just found out recently that I am diabetic. Boo. :sad: I have been eating. I eat until I can't shove anymore in my mouth. I can't eat certain things because they shoot my sugar up, make me feel sick, etc. So I got set up with a dietitian and am going to my doctor every few weeks…

Hello!
I am tired. Tired of not being able to walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to breathe. Tired of not fitting on amusement rides. Tired of not being healthy. Tired of the looks. Tired of shopping in the "plus size" section. I am going to get healthy. I am going to do this. I am Alicia. I am 30 years old. I am 5'7"…
