Ok so my SIL picked out the bridesmaid dress today that she wants everyone to wear. It is a strapless gown so of course I'm afraid of how I'm gonna look in it. I don't do well in strapless. Go to www.billlevkoff.com and then to the HTML site. In in the search box type in 451. If you look at the bottom of the page there are 2 white boxes next to the word "views" click on the 2nd box for the back of the dress.
She is getting it in a black color with a icy blue sash. I'm going this weekend to get mine ordered and see how I look in it. I hope its not horrible. Time to get serious about this weight loss thing, and get into shape!
Well its Monday and WI is in a few days. I think the week has gone by as good as could be. I'm seeing the scale go down so that is a good thing. I really need to get some more exercise into my routine. I know this weight would be coming off a lot more if I got more exercise in my routine.
I went for a walk with the kids this weekend, they loved being outside, but it was sooooooooo hot!! So I only went around the block one instead of the 3 times I was planning because of how hot it was. Blah I hate summer sometimes!
And I'm happy to report I'm down 2 lbs!!! Woo Hoo!! I know it isn't a lot but I'm down 3 lbs in 2 weeks, only 39 lbs to go to get to my 135 goal and only 30 lbs left before I get to my mini goal of 144 lbs.
So I found out that dress shopping is being moved up to either this Saturday or next Saturday. I'm nervous because I'm the type of dress my SIL is looking for is strapless and I just don't look good in those. Oh well, I just have to start working on my arms. I just hope the dress I order doesn't have to be this huge size. I don't think my self-esteem right now could take that.

That's my goal until my SIL's wedding in December. If I can lose an average of 1.5 a week I'll be close to my 2nd 10% and in the 140's. I'm really hoping I can get there!!
I found out we are going dress shopping Labor Day weekend. That gives me a total of 31 days to get some major weight off. I really need to start working out more. I know that will really help!!
No not my wedding date, my SIL's wedding date has been changed from October of next year to December 13th of this year!! Only 20 weeks away!! I'm her Matron of Honor so I HAVE to get this weight off so I can look snazy in my dress!! LOL So 20 weeks and 41 lbs to drop!! Well I'll be happy with getting 20 lbs off in that time!!
Time to get rev'd up! I have to start taking this seriously!!!
It's not some spectacular number but its a loss and I'll take it!! I know I wasn't completly honest this last week with what I ate and what I ACTUALLY wrote down so I'm happy with any kind of loss!!
This week I'm going to write everything that I bite and I'm going to totally stick to Core foods all week long!! I can totally do this!! 135 here I come!
So yeah, I'm back at this weight loss thing again. I'm just sick that I gained back all the weight I lost after Carter was born but I have to move on and get on with my life. Don't dwell on the past Jenn!! Start lossing the weight today!!
So I'm back. 20 lb heavier but I'm here and I'm excited to be back at WW!! Why oh Why did I ever leave?
Offical Starting Weight: 177.4
1st 10%: 160.4 (17 lbs loss)
I'm so ready to do this. I"m doing the Core program again which I love. I'm excited to say my MIL is also joining up so I have someone to do this with!! I hope we both stick with it!!
That is what I heard yesterday when Jason and I and the kids went out to eat after church. There sat my friends and family all wishing me a happy birthday! I was sooo surprised! Jason had been planning the party for like 2 weeks and I had no clue at all!! It was so nice!
And I think I did really well. I knew we were going there for lunch so I planned ahead and new what I was going to eat and how many points it was. I stuck with my 2 pieces of pizza and 1/2 breadstick. But DH had bought a icecream cake and I just can't turn those down, but I didn't even finish my whole piece. But it was super yummy.
What a great birthday surprise!!
I have a taco salad with FF dressing for lunch today and I'm going walking at the mall, I'm hoping I can burn off a few more calories before my WI on Wednesday. I'm really striving for that 10% goal. I want it so bad I can taste it!
First off, thanks for the f and v advice yesterday. I've been to the store and stocked up on fresh fruit to bring with me to work.
It's amazing what a little planning and a little walking can do! I'm feeling great this morning. I got up at 6am (with a little help from my 2 month old) Took a nice hot shower, got ready with plenty of time, got my lunch together, bottle all made up for my mom to feed to Carter, Cleaned up the dinner dishes and did a load of laundry before heading to work! Woo Hoo
I'm planning on walking again on my lunch hour today. My mom was able to join me yesterday with the kids so that was fun. I hope she can make it again today. Just walking for that 30 min really makes me feel better about myself!! And I can already see a difference on the scale, but I know it doesn't count until Wednesday.
So today I'm starting my lunch time walking at the mall. I'm going to take my lunch with me (Lean Pocket) and walk for at least 20 min. WW website its 1 AP. Heck at least its something.
We talked at our meeting last night about how important it is to get in alll your water, fruits and veggies and milk servings. I'm really gonna try hard this month to get all these servings in.
Question though: How do you get in your fruits and veggie servings each day? Do you drink V8? Have them as snacks, with meals? What tricks do you do to make sure you get in your 5 servings each day?
