trying again

Well,  this isn't one of my happiest moments. I had to admit to myself that I have slipped, and have to get back on the band wagon.  I had worksed so hard last summer and last 43 lbs, just to let most of them creep back on this summer. I kept telling myself that I would start back on my diet "next week". And every week, another lb would creep back on.  This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and I SWEAR I'm going to beat this awful extra weight that I have.   It makes me miserable and I don't want to live this way. So even though I am now only 15 lbs from my heaviest weight ever, I have vowed to start over, this time to finish.  This site helps me to let it out, so bear with me while I struggle through the toughest thing I've ever attempted! Get my old figure back!

I'm Back

Well, it's been quite a while since I updated this. I can't believe the summer has flown by. I'm still on my way down. I hit a few roadblocks along the way, but I haven't let them get me down. The travel has made it a little tough, but that's part of my life, so I am challenging myself how to get around it.

So, I've hit 42 lbs lost. I am anxious to hit 50!  I'm going to try to hit this by  10/7, so wish me luck, I've only got two weeks,

I'll update more later.......

still on vaca......

Well, I'm still doing it over here, still on vacation, still managing to chip away at the pounds. My nana is here with me, and being so very supportive on my food choices, which is helping me a lot. I have been doing tons of work around my house, and I am very happy w/ the progress I am making, both on my home projects and on my diet.

I hope everyone else out there is having the same success....!

Vacation

Well today is the last day I have to drag myself to work for a couple weeks!! Yeah - but more exciting, this is also the day that I broke the 30lb mark!  I am so excited, I haven't felt this great in so long, and I didn't realize that w/ some hard work, I could do it!  Everyone is complimenting me and that is so much motivation to keep going.

I am headed to the beach for a long weekend, and then my grandmother is coming to stay w/ me for a couple weeks so we can do things around the house, I am looking forward to the break from work. I am going to have to try really hard not to cheat this weekend, there will be plenty of temptations!

Have a great weekend!

still here

Hello All,

It's been awhile, but I was in nyc all last week working, so I haven't been on here. I came back over the weekend, and since I started my period, I didn't want to hop on the scales. I got to see G when I was in NY, we had a great time. He kept saying how great I looked! And of course that made me feel incredible! It was so encouraging to hear him say, "You look great!"

I did pretty good last week considering. My eating habits have become so strict, that even if I eat a healthy normal meal, I feel like it's too much. Thanks to Jamba Juice, I was able to skip a few meals and replace w/ a smoothie.

So, I'll be back on the scales in a couple days, and hopefully I will break the 30 pound mark!!

paid off

So - looks like the decision to resist pizza paid off. I hopped on the scales this am - not sure wha tt o expect, I haven't been taking my phentermine, and wow - down almost four pounds since Monday! I am so excited, I can't stand it!!

resisting pizza

Well - I am feeling better than ever - being able to instantly see the weight loss when I am looking in the mirror is an incredible feeling.   We had a little pool party last night for a friend who is moving out of town, it was an old past time of my group of friends to take pizza to the pool after work! So last night, as my friends muched on pizza, I nibbled at my fruit and whole wheat english muffin! I just thought to myself - "That pizza is not going to taste any better on my tongue for five minutes, than I am going to feel when I get back on the scales and see myself down a few more lbs!"

dreading the scales

I don't know why i was dreading the scales this morning, but I stared at them for a while, before I got up the nerve to step on. The thing is,  I was excellent this weekend! I was away at my parents and did an amazing job sticking w/ the meal plan. Of course it helps that my family is supportive and my mom made sure I had plenty of fruits, veggies and whole grains. plus, they even took some walks with me this weekend.

So, I should not of been surprised when I was down three more pounds, this is a total of 25.5 pounds, and I couldn't be happier!

YIPPPPEEE

one more down

Well, I am still on my way down over here! I got a little slowed down this week w/ my trip, it's so tough, but I am still determined. I am going to my parents house in Va Beach for the weekend, so I have to make sure I stick with it. May be tough w/ my mothers cooking and a pitcher of sweet tea sitting there tempting me, but I have to remember my goals!  I was on a pretty good pace there of loosing and it seems like it has slowed down a little, so that's not as fun, but as long as I keep seeing the scales go down, it's all good!  Everyone have a great weekend!

made it

ok, so made it back from my trip without gaining any weight!  That is what I was scared of. I wasn't perfect, but better than I have been in the past, a lot better. Now I am back and I am trying for an additional  10 lb loss by 6/20........, don't know if it will happen, but I am trying, it's obviously going to take some serious dedication over the next two weeks, but I am determined!  I get to see G, and I want to look and feel good.
