too much chocolate!
It's the TOM for me and I just ate so much chocolate. So much mindless eating. I feel physically gross. Time to take a nap and start anew.

20 minute Yoga video/DVD
I have carved out 20 minutes every morning for a yoga session...but I have no direction in the morning. Thinking doesn't work that early. Does anyone have a favorite 20 minute or so video on youtube or a DVD they'd suggest for me to follow in the morning to wake up my body?

Help a paranoid girl out!
I've been on this website for awhile, eating 1,200 calories a day and not eating back any exercise calories. I've lost 50 pounds so far, but I have become increasingly crabby and hungry. I plugged my numbers into an online calculator that suggests that I should be eating 1,400 calories to lose about a pound a week. I'm…

Halfway there! Includes pictures!
Last night I was on facebook and a picture popped up of me with the caption: This was you from a year ago. With gradual weight loss, you don't really notice much of a loss. But I couldn't stop staring at that picture from last year! I've changed so much and wanted to share! I'm about halfway to goal, but I'm pretty proud…

Before and after pics! 40 pounds down!
I'm down 40 pounds from my original weight (230lbs) to 190lbs right now. I have 49 more pounds to go, but I'm really enjoying the differences I'm seeing. My boyfriend is a marine, and he inspired me to get back into shape and take a lot better care of myself. I only see him about once a year. The first picture was taken…

My NSV!
Did my first ever 5k! I couldn't run longer then 5 minutes about two months ago. Running nonstop and getting 27:18 time was amazing! Next year my goal is to run the 15k.

Adventure with the scale this morning...
So I had a little adventure this morning. I have just moved into a new house and haven't really weighed myself for the last two weeks. Today I whipped out my scale to see how I did for the last two weeks in the bathroom upstairs. Two weeks ago I weighed 190. The scale read 141. I was really confused. I then remembered to…

Marine boyfriend's birthday coming up...
And I don't know what to do. We've been together for four years, but this is the first time that he's been a marine. He visited about three weeks ago, and I already gave him his birthday present. (the original Atari game Space Invaders with a matching throw blanket!) But I still want to do something special for his…

UGH DUNKIN DOUGHNUTS
Today was treat day at work. Someone brought in a whole box of munchkins and I wasn't hungry but I ate like...6 anyway. I've been doing so good, and now the sugar is effecting me so negatively. I have a headache and I'm so sleepy...but I want more. GRRR Why do our bodies do this to us? I'm venting. Also logged those…

NSV!
Last night I went clothes shopping and ran into a friend I haven't seen in a long time. She looked confused when I first started talking to her, then she told me she didn't recognize me until then! She said I looked good and asked me my secret. I told her exercise and healthy eating...she looked slightly disappointed after…

Today's NSV!!
After almost losing 30 pounds, I went in to get fitted for a new bra, as in the ones I had were too big. I went from a 44DDD to a 38DDD! I didn't lose any cup size, just lost all bandsize! YAY!! And I took measurements from my waist and hips this morning; I started out at 44" for my waist and I'm now down to 37". That's 7…

Two weeks!
I have weighed 198 everyday for the past two weeks. I have been tracking everything I eat, doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, running, working hard at roller derby practice...ugh I'm so frustrated. I know this happens, but I just came here for a little encouragement. The last thing I need at this point is to give up and…

One month DONE!
This is the longest I've gone with watching what I eat and going to the gym. It's beginning to feel like a life style change and not just a diet. I have been going strong one whole month and lost 13.6 pounds. It's not time to buy a whole new wardrobe yet, and I do have a way to go, but I want to celebrate!! Someone posted…

Anyone with an SO in the military?
My boyfriend is a marine, and I haven't seen him for six months now. I go weeks without hearing from him, and miss him a lot. Instead of turning to food for comfort, I've decided to shed the weight that has snuck up on me over the past few years. I want to surprise him when he gets home! Anyone else in the same situation…

Small Victory!
The fed us at work today, and I skipped the dessert. I'm very proud of myself. I think it's little victories like this that add up to something huge!

Turning 30
AH! I'm turning 30 this year! That wouldn't be so weird if it wasn't for the fact that I forgot to grow up. I'm still renting, playing roller derby, have no kids, dating a 25 year old...anyone else have adulthood sneak up on them out of no where? Something I want to do before my 30th birthday is to lose 40 pounds. I've…
