Finding myself!
So, it’s Tuesday. That means everyone is always all about #TransformationTuesday. This usually accompanies a picture that shows them looking better now than they did in the “before” picture. Well, I’m sharing MY Transformation Tuesday, but it’s not just a physical transformation. From what I can remember, I was about seven…

Shopping NSV!!!
This may seem small, but with 160 total pounds to lose, I have to focus on small wins. I went shopping today and grabbed some clothes to try on. I started my journey 3 1/2 months ago wearing a 2x/24W. About a month ago I was able to start wearing 22W bottoms and a 1x top. So, today I grabbed those sizes and tried them on.…

I've lost my 2 year old!
Ok, so I obviously still have a LONG way to go, but I am three months into this journey and, as of my weigh in yesterday, I have lost 28.4 pounds. My 2 year old weighs 28.2 pounds...I've lost my baby! This makes it seem like so much more 'cause she can get quite heavy at times. It's the small things that I have to focus on…

Very small win, but a win nonetheless!
So, five years ago I embarked on a weight loss journey that was very successful and brought me to the lowest weight of my remembrance. Two years and 94 pounds later I was 20 pounds from my goal weight and got pregnant with our second daughter. Pregnancy was not kind to my body and after I had her, I was so overwhelmed and…

Returning and need motivating friends!
So, I will try to keep this as short as possible. I have been overweight my whole life. After my first daughter was born I lost 92 pounds and was down to my lowest adult weight ever (170). I was 25 pounds from my goal weight when I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter. My body completely rebelled during my…

Back on track!
So, this is a success story with a little bit of failure thrown in, a little different than normal success stories on here. But I'm excited so I wanted to share. After hitting 95 pounds lost, I hit a plateau. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the scale to budge! After three months of this, I said screw it and started…

Halfway through 30 DS...Don't mind the flab! (Pics)
Ok, so I obviously have a long way to go to be toned and non flabby (Weighing almost 300 pounds and having a baby will do that to you.), but I'm so excited about my progress! I am doing the 30 Day Shred, but I'm taking longer than 30 days to do it. I'm doing about 4 days a week because that's all my schedule will permit…

Wait...what size was that?!
So I had a huge NSV today! In desperate need of new summer clothes, I went shopping this afternoon. I walked into one of my favorite stores and immediately started grabbing pants, skirts and shorts in size 12. Once in the fitting room, I was delighted when I had a two inch gap between my waist and the waistband of every…

Last mini goal reached! On to goal! (Pics)

I was feeling…

Help!
So, to date I've lost 88.3 pounds since January 15, 2010. In the past almost 4 weeks, I've not been losing weight. I'm doing everything right. I have a BMF so I know exactly what I'm burning and I log all of my food in the BMF system so I know exactly what I'm eating. I exercise 5 days a week and I keep my deficit between…

I know it's been said over and over... (PICS)

I have less than 40 pounds to go to hit my goal, which I never thought would happen. I've lost 76.4 pounds. I've lost a grand total…

Onederland!! (Pics)
So, I weigh every day just so I can stay on track and keep myself motivated. My "official" weigh in day is Friday and I weigh with clothes on because I'm in a public place. When I weigh daily, I'm at home so I weigh with nothing on, right before I get in the shower. This morning, I was greeted with a beautiful sight when I…

Question about calorie deficit
So...I bought myself an HRM this weekend. I decided that I would wear it 24/7 at least for this first week just so I can get an idea of what my daily burn is. I wear it while I'm sleeping, eating, working out, etc. I work out for about an hour each night. Every day I've been burning between 3500 and 3700 calories from…

Got a great compliment today!
So, I went to the gym today, like usual. I normally go around the same time, so I see the same people working there pretty much every time. At my gym, you just give the people at the desk your membership number and go on your merry way. So, I gave the girl my number, she said "thanks" and I started to walk toward the…

AE Jeans!!!
Hubby and I went shopping tonight. We've been going and at least "window shopping" for the past few weekends...why? Because I can now go to the mall and fit in some of the clothes they sell there. Anyway, here's my story. When I started my weight loss journey in January, I was in a size 24W jeans and between a 1X and 2X…
