Before After

goodbye 270s

Well, this started really well. I lose 4 lbs the first week on ww so I am pretty happy.
Went from 273 to 269. Goal for this week is to reach 266, losing another 3 lbs. one day at a time...
i should never ever be in the 270s ever in my whole life. I was there when I was pregnant 4 years ago. come on. what's the matter with you.
so now at 269, i am on my way to the 260s. one day at a time, one pound at a time! who cares how long it's going to take.
For now, baby step. Goal is to drink 8 glasses of water, eat 32 points a day and log in every thing I eat. After 4 weeks, I will add exercise to my plan. Probably walking to start, although I might join the YMCA. so good they have daycare there!

so,  GOODBYE 270s, WELCOME 260s and so we go....

good reminder of all the reasons why I must lose weight

Why do I want to lose 100 lbs?

  • Be healthier  
  • Live longer to see my kids get married and have grand children  
  • Be a rolemodel for the kids and lead by example  
  • Feel Better about myself, both physically and mentally  
  • Have more energy to play with my children  
  • Avoid Diabetes that killed my grand mother  
  • Avoid high blood pressure like my dad
  • Self esteem
  • Be done forever with my back problem that put me down for over 3 months stuck at home on a bed 
  • Wear nice outfits instead of jogging pants with elastic and oversized T-shirts to cover my rear-end.
  • Be sexy and shop at Victoria's Secret  
  • Be proud of achieving something
  • Eat better foods  and feed my children the right way so that they dont' become overweight themselves.  

one year since my last post! And I am now 30 lbs heavier!

this sucks. reading this blog and realizing that in 2008, I was 33 lbs lighter than now and trying to lose it all. my plan failed but I am determined. I am now joining WW again and it's my first day. I mean, when is this all going to go if I don't do something about it? I alreayd have serious back problems. Thank god my blood pressure is ok, and I am heading right to diabetes, cholesterol, heart disease., I can't do that to my kids, and I can't do that to myself. So. Enough whining. Day one.

Here I am again - 3 years later and still 100 lbs overweight

 

This is so sad and pathetic...now 41 and 260 lbs. I am trying again....Bob Greene's Best Life Diet...looking at Oprah as an inspiration...I cannot believe I am still at the same point... this is not a weight issue, this is a love issue, loving yourself enough to take care of yourself, feel worthy, show the discipline and do what I need to do for myself most of the time....put myself first,  not work, not the kids, me me me. the motivation must be me, that I care enough for myself to put myself FIRST. I must do this for myself...i have let myself down.....this should motivate me to make a change.

Memorial Weekend is here: 245.5!

I could not believe my scale this morning and I weighted and weighted and weighted and the number is there: 245.5

My original goal for memorial day was 250 and then I changed it to 248. I am really excited about this weight loss journey! I feel that this time,this is for good. after years of triyng and then trying again and regaining more...I put on shorts from last year today and I had to wear a belt.

Now focusing on my next mini goal, 240 by July 4th. I think I can beat this goal too...

remember:

  • 6 glasses of water a day
  • 29 points a day
  • walk

I am going to have to start walking 20-30 minutes every day. It's nice enough outside to do so and it's a great way to start exercising!!!!!
