I went to the doctor & weighed in at 139.4!!!! Finally under the 140 mark for the first time in a looooooong time! God, I hope this lasts =) I'll have to do my best this weekend & work out like a wild woman. This has really given me soooo much motivation because it's been a slow progress, but it's been almost two months & 6.6 lbs!! Hooray for me =)

I wish I could afford a gym membership & personal trainer!! Maybe that'll be my reward to myself when I hit the lower 130's!!

Good Morning Ladies,

I lost another pound AND it's TTOM for me. Don't ask how that happened, but I'll take it. Hopefully, I'll log many miles on the bike path this loooong weekend. I won't be on the computer AT ALL this weekend, so I hope I behave at the wedding I have to go to & the bar-b-que at my moms on Monday.....Here's my numbers & hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Starting weight 146.4

Current weight 141.1

(Mini) Goal weight 135

(Real) Goal weight 125

Snowfence...you look fantastic!! Hard work & dedication do pay off...you are proof to that!!! Very inspiring for others as well.

After two weeks of ignoring the scale...I finally weighed yesterday. I was 144.something and now I'm 142.1....not much, but I'm going to get there!! By the end of the summer I want to be 130!! TTOM is coming next week so I hope to not give into my cravings of Peanut butter out of the jar & lime tostitos & salsa....those are my weaknesses....also Pizza...I never order it, but if my b/f does, you better believe I can't smell it and not eat it!!

I hope to work out all weekend....even it's just walking around the neighborhood...I've also been lifting my little armweights while watching my favorite shows.....next thing you know it's been a half hour....if I'm watching another show after that, I'll do stomach crunches or lunges & squats....not anything big....and it does get a lil laughter from the family, but every little bit counts, right?? LOL.

Have a lovely low calorie, high energy weekend all!!!

Hello everyone!!

I fell off the face of the Earth for awhile....just been really busy with the kids & sports schedules...it's been hectic....baseball 4 x's a week, taking my niece to cheerleading practices...can you believe @ 8 years old, they have to TRY out? Poor lil thing...she'll be crushed if she doesn't make it.

Anyhow...I'll be weighing in tonight & will report the hideous (or wonderful) numbers tomorrow. I'm not anticipating much, but I'm hoping it's something. I've been walking 3 miles w/ my friend & then walking on my lunch breaks....not much, but better than not moving...still calorie counting as well....weekdays are sooooo much easier than weekends!!! I do AWESOME during the week, but indulge too much on the weekends.....my vacation is in 3 weeks and I may just have to buy the one piece swimsuit for the first time in FOREVER. I'm still committed and am taking it day by day...the encouragment on her is phenomenal & I appreciate it! Have a great day all!

As of April 8th, I've lost 5lbs...not much but its a great start

how long have you kept it off?
N/A

what approach did you use?
I'm using this website which is a GODSEND =)

I also have been walking during my lunch 30 min & then walk the dog 3x's a week for a mile or more.

I'm trying to kick it up a notch for May to see more results!!

I'm in!! I started April 8th on my goal to change the way I eat for good, not just for the season. So far, I'm down from 146.8 to 141.2. I'm not working out much...maybe some arm weights while I watch TV...LOL & walking the dog & on my breaks at work, but if I kick that up a notch on top of eating my fruits, veggies & fiber, I know I can lose more!! I'll post my next weigh in next week. I just weighed on Saturday =) Good luck everyone & remember, losing weight & keeping it off is our goal!!

Hi Melness...

You'll get there!! Don't stress about it....(like I should talk). My boyfriend says the same things....that I'm fine the way I am, but isn't it funny how us women are about our bodies?? Sometimes I feel crazy because I OBSESS about what I'm eating, but other times, I know that it's a lifestyle change that needs to occur not just a crash diet. I need to really start eating fruits/veggies for the long term not just because I'm going to Myrtle Beach in June and want to look as best I can. I need to really start believing that I'm fine the way I am and not seek happiness in the numbers on the scale. I don't want the numbers on the scale to determine whether I'm feeling good about myself or whether or not I'm having a "good" day, you know? Best of luck to you....keep it up!! Hope to see us both in the 130's soon =)

I eat Kashi Chewy Trail Mix bars...they are delish and high in fiber.

Also, 25 almonds is one serving & they fill me up as well as fruit for snacking.

Sunday April 6th, I had an epiphany...my self esteem issues are directly correlated to what I eat & how it makes me feel. I weighed myself that Sunday and was 146.8. I'm 5'2" and this is almost as heavy as I was when I was pregnant NINE years ago!!

After many tears were shed from disbelieft at the scale, I've been eating so much better than I have in YEARS. Spinach, lettuce, tomato, strawberry salads for lunch, Kashi Bars for snacks, fruit & maybe whole wheat toast for breakfast...my fiber intake has gone from 11grams a day to between 25-32 for the last few days.

 After 8 days of seriously dieting, no red meat, water, no soda, fruits & veggies and maybe a lil chicken or salmon for dinners....I'm down to 143.4. I do allow myself a cheat snack every day, but I do pay attention to the portion size of chips/salsa or whatever the cheat may be. If it's Oreos....only allow yourself the serving size.

I'm very excited & hope that by June, I've lost at least 10lbs.
