I have lost 11 pounds! YAY

I started my Journey 1 month ago on August 13th  at 265 and as of Yesterday I have lost 11 pounds! (254)

I am keeping my calories under 1800 a day (usually 1550) drinking 80+ oz of water and exercising 6 days a week.

I started off walking only 2 miles then 2.5 etc and am currently up to 4 miles  and I walk 3 times a week and the other 3 days a week I do an exercise dvd, either the biggest looser v1 or power 90

I'm so so so excited to be loosing!!

Had to share!

Awesome Krystie!!!!!  :)  I hope you're proud of yourself as you should be!

I'm EXTREAMLY proud of myself!! !!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Great job! It sounds like you are really on top of it. I hope the success continues. Good luck!

You are my inspiration .......... Im glad you took the advice and made a post.. its great encouragement to look back on when times are tough..... Everyone on here is GREAT!

I am so proud that your eating right, exercising, and feeling great!!! Remember... Nothing taste as good as skinny feels... I heard that once.. I think its the motto for WW but I still like it.. It is true!!

Im glad your showing the world your in control.... cause only YOU control what goes in your mouth!!

**skipping, jumping.... Kart-Wheel... Ouch that hurt.. Not quite that skinny yet.... hee hee hee**

I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! Keep us posted on here girl!!

Wow.  I am sooo proud of you... I was feeling a little bummed this morning because after 11 days on this lifestyle change I over ate with my dinner last night (~300 or so cals.), but seeing what you have done, I am not going to get depressed & I will go right back to eating what I have been & not concentrate on last night.  You give me hope that I too can lose those pounds.  Congrats...... :)

boom~~ not to take away from Kristy.. but remember this.. Its one day at a time ...one meal at a time.... FOrget what happened at your last meal... or yesterday and focus on now.. thats how you get through it..... Hope that helps...

Congrats on the loss! That's awesome! 

loosingthepounds- it does help... I was just starting to feel the depression start after I logged in my foods from last night- did it this am & then I saw Kristy's entry & that's kinda the point- It helps to see her weight loss & again I am so proud of her, she's inspiring :)  I will take it one day at a time. 

Congrats to all of you losing.. Dont get frustreated..... Kristy is an inspiration to others... that why Ilike self promoting posts.. gets other minds stirring!!! I definately have that feeling, if they can do I can do it!!!

Thats awesome!! You go girl!!

Boom... I definatly Have to agree don't beat yourself up over 1 meal. It's over and done~! Learn from it! In my first month I think I had 2 or 3 times that I went over but I refuse to beat myself up for what I chose to eat...

 Keep plugging away, at the 11 day mark I was ready to quit, because I had only lost 2 pounds and was starting to feel like "whats the point"... I AM SOO glad I didn't stop and I don't want you to either..

It's like the first 5 and the last 5 are the worst to loose,  but I KNOW that you will be successful,   take my hand, we can do it together!!!

 Heres to another sucessful month!
Thanks for all the encouragement!! I appreciate it!

Good job, krysties!

Woo Hoo!

krystie~~ Your right.. the first.. ( I'd say 10) and the last ( I'm not at that point yet) are the hardest.. once you get rolling... it IS THE BEST MOTIVATION ever.... Everyone asks my motivation... its LOSING WEIGHT! Make sense?

Congratulations! 

That's really AWESOME! I started my lifestyle change just one day before you did, and I've never felt better about myself! I know how excited you are to be losing. Keep up the great work :)

Excellent work!  It sounds like you are keeping yourself busy with the walking and DVD's.  Keep it up!

I just realized it's been longer than that. I started on July 30th :)

Thats cool! How are you doing so far??

How much have you lost???

Thanks for the encouragement
