Sep 30 2009 10:50

After my vacation I am up 3 pounds, and now I am ready to get back to work.  My sister says I will prolly lose kinda fast these first few days of trying again...I hope she is right.  I still havn't gotten into the 170's but I am determind to get there by this tuesday...

Finally in the 80's
Aug 01 2009 17:43

I figure I am safe when at the end of the day I am still in the 180s, last night I weighed myself and I wieghed 190...so a few more days and it will be solid.  I am a little behind what I had expected to be, but I am still proud of myself...212 to 188 is pretty good I say.  24 pounds!  Not to mention I was 221 in October....last time a lot of my family saw me was that that time, so I might look a little diferent now.  Whenever I ask my sister Kala if I look different, it doesn't matter if I am 30 pound lighter...she days I look exactly the same....I just wont ask her this time.

Almost to the 180's!

So it has been 3 1/2 months now and I have lost just about 20 pounds.  I feel different...I hope I look different.  But 20 pounds off of 210 might not look that different yet.  But now that I am a little smaller, a pound will equal a little more to the eye.  I hope I don't hit another plateau, I was at 195 for a while, and it seems I am starting to go down again.  I haven't been 185 since High School so that is going to be a milestone for me.  I am excited!

Pre-pregnancy weight.

So I haven't thought about this before, because I didn't start truley trying to lose wieght till May 3rd, and that day I weighed 210, but I all reality I have lost a total of 27 pounds!  I mean I had my son on October 27th and that day I wieghed 221.  Now I wieght 194. 

    I always say my "pre-pregnancy weight" is 205, and so I am now under that, but In the first 4 months of my pregnancy I lost 15 pounds, and was down to 190, so really I am not there yet, but I am really close.  In terms of Pre-pregnancy yes I am below, but when it comes to actual pounds gained during, I still have 4 to go. 

No support!
Jul 04 2009 08:44

I am really depressed about the fact that Josh won't help me in any way.  Not only will he NOT help me, he works against me.  He is always eating junk food around me, argueing with me when I say I don't want fried chicken for dinner, and then all the while saying he is supporting me.  I don't know what to do, I live in a new town where I have no one (especially anyone my age) to lean on, and get healthy with.  I have no money to join a gym.  It is really lonely having nobody to help you.  Everyday I feel like I am on the verge of a binge.  And then of course there is the chuch that Josh and I serve in...they mean well, but everytime I get together with any of them, it is all based around food...and really really bad food  at that.  What do I say to the little old ladies in my church who baked me a batch of cookies, or the sweet couple that wants to take us out to dinner? What do I say when my southern nieghbors (who cook EVERYTHING IN GREASE) invite me over for a meal that makes Thanksgiving look like appetizers? (It doesn't help that her food is delicious too) In this town I would really offend someone if I didn't eat thier food, and accept thier hospitality.   AHHHHHHHH! On the upside though, when I go to my mother in laws house she really supports me, and eats right with me when I am there...but how often am I there? (She lives in Rapid City, 5 hours away)

Measurements
Jun 24 2009 15:36

Whoa...I have gained almost 5 pounds, but lost 8 and a quarter inches all together in the past week! I guess the scale is not my friend...and jogging apparently is!

Running
Jun 15 2009 23:29

I am going to start running, I have already been able to run 2 miles without stopping, and I think I could do more...I hope this gets me skinny!  I was bad 2 days in a row.  I didn't go over calories, but I took in a lot of fat.  The scale is definatly showing my treachery.  I will lose it again, I am confident.  It is just a matter of time until I am down to 150 and looking mighty fine.  My next goal is 180 by August 16th.  That is the day I am finishing my 5K training, so I hope I get there.

Doctors Scales
May 26 2009 11:24

I hate the doctors scales...at home I weigh 200, at the docs I weigh 206...I heard a nurse tell me once that the scale at the docs is usually a little heavier, so I am clinging to that.  I still claim 200, and according to my scale at home, I am still that, and still down 10 pounds or so.

Measurments instead of wieght.

I find that I always feel thinner before I see anything on the scale.  Maybe I will start measuring myself once a week.  I will start measuring after I am done with my period, haha.

Here I go!

    I really hope this site helps me.  I have been struggling with my wieght since high school and I think it is more than just me being lazy.  I really think I might have some issues to work out, but I don't know what they are.  It doesn't help that I have a seriously underactive thyroid, but now that I am on medication I think my efforts might actually pay off this time...here's to hoping!
