SUPPORT definately needed

Back after my weekend. I have learned a huge lesson....sometimes you absolutely must listen to that inner angel saying don't eat that, eat the other healthier choice. Usually I do listen, but I know I am still struggling with some issues.

Now my husband and I have commited to no alcohol until March 21, this should help me make better choices.

Woke up this morning with an 8 pound gain. LOL..I know some of it is water weight but come on. This is seriously depressing. I should have waited until a couple days later to weigh in, but that is my big reminder.

I am thankful I feel stronger every day, i get the chance to even have time to care for myself, that I am getting healthy, and that I have already lost so much weight. Grateful.

THIS NEXT WEEKEND will be a tough one because we have a party to go to . No drinks, and no junk. ...

Enlighten youself 4 real

Hello everyone...

Does anyone every get the feeling that people have such a hard time being genuinely happy for others. You know, supportive and positive when these great things are happening. I find that within my small group of fam and friends, there are a lot of negative attitudes, it has been passed on to my daugher as well.

It is like a personality trait... yikes.

Anyway, yesterday I watched OPRAH...i know i know, but you have to give her serious cred. she is one of the most amazing people on the planet.

The people she had on, are HUGE inspiration. First, I am a fan of the life theories that are supported by quantum physics, second, it seems pretty simple yet so complicated. What goes around comes back around, fake it till you make it, you can be whatever you want.

I know each and everyone one of us can have the body, mind, and spirit we dream of. WE just have to appreciate ourselves, for what we are already. And be thankful we are here trying to better ourselves.

TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL people, especially the moms, wives, etc. out there. I know how hard you work, how under appreciated you are and how much you deserve to be the queen of your domain.

HAVE A WONDERFULLY WEIGHTLESS DAY.

Still the same

Well one week into Feb and I am still the same weight. But no matter. That is better then gaining and i havent been this weight in years. So for the rest of the month need to stay focused.

Good luck everyone. 169 is actually a good number.. :>)

HELLOOOOOO

Ahh...how sweet a morning of fighting with the husband always starts the day off good.! Not that anyone wants to hear about that but it does affect the mood, and therefore the spirit of weight loss :>)

A new thing is happening to me, I get such a rush from working out. I hope that it lasts because I want to make this life long. My picture looks like a MUG SHOT...lol...totally hilarious. I never have brown hair so that is even weirder.

But it is one of my fat pics. If anyone has any ideas on how NOT TO EAT in the evening and to maintain. I would love to know. It is so hard for me. And sometimes I dont know if I have had enough food or not ? because I dont count calories or carbs, I just eat sensibly.

Also if anyone has any idea on how to be in a better mood, and happier. Seems like Monique could have had some truth when she said "Skinny bitches are evil" LOL :>)

ltr everyone...

good luck cant wait to reach my goal.

Superbowl BELLY

Oh and I found a nice new couch for my living room!~ YEAAh it was really getting HARD literally to sit on the wood floor.

Ill have to post my weight tommorow, cuz I am scared to weigh in today.

Goals and Accountability

There is something to be said about setting goals and being accountable to achieve them.

My goal for each month is to lose 8-10 pounds. I probably can't lose that every month but it is not too far off of being reasonable.

159 for Feb

149 for March

and so on.

I truly hope I can do this, because I want to be very close by the summer time.

Also I am actually 5' 6 inches rather then 5'5 .

Take care everyone and super good luck and focus to you all.

Furry Bellies

Only three days left in the month, and I need to reach my goal. I am moving tommorow and the next. Which is great because last night I had the experience of a furry belly on my foot. Guess what.. A Roof Rat...running accross the kichen floor onto my food. Nice and interesting.

I always do the cartoon thing...SCREAM then hop on the counter.. It is quite entertaining. These older homes have a problem keeping these suckers out. Good news is they are bringing down the house literally. To build townhomes.

Moving along. Feb. is the month for NEW GOALS and new achievements. I need to get to 159 by the end of the month to stay on track. This will be tough so no drinking at all...Probably till my birthday in March.

I'm gonna get some pictures posted before and now ...and then in the future the end result. I think that is pretty cool to see others do that.

ROCK ON Weight loss queens...

lol.

In the 160's

Wow....It is hard to believe that I have made it into the 160's. ...

IT has been such a long time since i have been in that zone, I have forgotten how it feels to start to understand that I can be trim and fit. It was so rewarding just getting to 177 ...because I have been fat for so long, I forgot.

Sad, but happy moment.  I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to do it. But on the other hand, i guess we all have to come to a certain point in our lives and also go through certain things before we are truly ready. So, on that note, I am thankful.

I am working hard to beat this. This month has been a bit of fast weight loss because of the extra holiday gain, which was probably a lot of water weight. ...

I need to DRINK MORE WATER@@@ ....

o.k. back to work.

Good luck, everyone..

WINE BINGE

Last night it was me myself and my bottle of FAT BASTARD (merlot) so ironic and sooo very good.

Yum...stayed up till 1.00am up today 6.30 ouch...

NO matter, I was laughing this morning probably still drunk..lol

I am commited to working out...and have been getting such a rush from it. I am day dreaming about weights now. I gotta get some pics posted on here for fun.

Can't wait...to lose that weight.

Honestly every time I think about how many people have said something to me about it, or whispered behind my back, or joked.....sucks huge... but pay=backs are always the greatest.

Hope everyone is doing well...

and has some juicy postings..

Can't lose fast enough

Today it is finally sunny! No rain, no sog... just a beautiful blue sky.

Woke up to a normal day, got ready for work. Have not much to wear, but thats o.k. I work mostly alone. However, when I put on a pair of my jeans I noticed they felt much better, but my mind is so screwed up. I actually started getting mad that they were not much more loose.

I remembered that last MAY i bought them and they fit, and then I wore them in the summer. Further reminding me how far I had fallen off the wagon.

But that is then and this is now. I learned something valuable and that is how to MAINTAIN a weight. How to gain 5-10 and then lose it anytime you want. Rather then keep going to 40 or 50 pounds. YIKES!!!

Back in the day I would never touch a scale, just pretend it wasn' t there...I can't imagine how.

Now I actually do keep an eye on it so it doesnt ever go over a certain amount....

I cannot wait until i get below the 170 mark into the 160's it has been years since that happend. I believe the last time was in the year 2000.

Happy day everyone...

P.S. Anyone who is feeling down, I have some tips.

1.) Get the best damn tummy control panties out there@ The kind with the boning. They have them in department stores. They go up really high and SUCK everything in. Truly the ROCK!!  You can be totally Marilyn Monroe...or Bootylicious.

2.) Make sure you have great MAKE-UP and hair. So you feel awesome about yourself. There is no excuse for looking frumpy. Plus it always makes you more confident feeling. If you don't know how go see a make up artist. MAC Is great for that.

3.) Check out girls with bodies for inspiration. Not stick thin models but beautiful women. My favourite by far is BEYONCE. She is the ultimate siren of a women. With her wild long hair, and fit but curvy body, and she is totally in shape and in control of her life. I love that.
