Before After

Up 2 pounds

It's my own fault. I know what I did wrong. Back on the damn horse today...

2 pounds....

in 10 days...that's no good. I'm a big girl...I should be able to pull bigger numbers than 2 pounds in 10 days.

I joined weight watchers last Thursday so I've been trying to eat the number of "points" I'm supposed to eat every day and it's been tought. I really feel like I'm overeating.

Has anyone ever been on weight watchers and eaten less than the reccomended number of points and still lost weight?

WTF?!?

OK, I really wanted to lose 7 lbs this week, so I vamped up my work outs to include a 40 minute circut training on the treadmill, eliptical machine, stair climber, and bike. I also added some light weight training for these arms that resemble wings more than arms!  For 2 days I've been working my a$$ off so I decided to do a mid-week weigh in and I've GAINED 2 lbs!!! What the hell?!??? Does anyone have a reasonable explanation for this???

Can't get enough

Have you ever had a day where nothing satisfies your hunger? I'm having one of those days. I think maybe I just need a day off so I can indluge and get over it. Maybe this is my old self-sabotaging behavior kicking in.

Have I told anyone that my sister-in law has asked me to be the gestational carrier for her and her husband's baby? She had to have a hysterectomy a couple years ago, but before she had the surgery, they harvested 4 of her eggs, enceminated them with her hubby's sperm, and froze them. Now they're ready to have a baby. So this weight loss jorney is very important so I can carry their child for them. I need to lose 60lbs before we get pregnant in July. That gives me 5 months to lose 45 lbs...talk about pressure.

I really need to stay on track here.

I'm feeling better having typed this all out. Thanks, extraPounds! And thanks to Dora and everyone else that reads my blah blah blah blog.

Down 15 lbs in 3 weeks

Hi all...

I'm down 15 lbs in 3 weeks. Although I'm excited about the loss...I'm feeling down today. I have such an incredible mountain to climb, I feel like it's a hopeless journey.

Today at lunch I bought a bag of Lay's out of the vending machine and ate them with my sandwich and yogurt. Then I went back to the vending machine and bought a bag of Chips Ahoy cookies. I'm justifying this by telling myself...you deserve it...you've given up so much...

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone that I've been walking 2 miles almost every night. I walk 3 nights in a row, then take a night off. I heard it's good to rest your body. I hope to be walking longer by the end of the week.

OK, back to my chips and cookies justification...do you think it's OK to splurge once in a while during a diet? Or do you think I should go in the bathroom and make myself throw up?!? (J/K) :)

Bad day

I had a bad day yesterday...ate some things I really shouldn't have. I'm noticing for the first time some really bad habits...like emotional eating, or whatever this was... As I was eating the food I knew I shouldn't be eating I was regretting it...but still eating it...what is that??? How can my brain be telling me to stop, and my hand just keep shoveling it into my mouth??? Why did I do that??? Why couldn't I stop??? I could really tell a big difference when I woke up this morning. I felt sluggish and depressed. Maybe it was caused by the food I ate... or maybe it was caused by knowing that I totally blew it. Either way...it sucked.

Back on today...hoping to see a loss on Monday.

Many temptations

I overcame many temptations this weekend...On Friday I was at an open house for a friend's husband who passed away. There were cookies and cakes and cheese and crackers and chips and dips, etc...and I didn't eat one single bite.

On Sunday I went to a BBQ/Football party and watched the big game...GO CARDINALS!! There was lots of the same things there, chips and dips, cookies, burgers, etc.. I ate some beans and some fruit, and a few chips with guac. Compared to what I'd normally eat, I did pretty good...eating less than half.

On Monday I went to the funeral for my friend's husband, there was "refreshments" afterwards...cakes and pies, sandwich makings, etc...I had a turkey sandwich on a whole wheat bun and some fruit...no potatoe salad, no chips, no dessert!

I had a pretty good weekend, and it showed on the scale this morning. I'm down another 4lbs since last week! I'm thrilled...and hope I can keep the momentum going!

Day 11! I made it!

The dreaded day 10 has come and gone. I'm feeling good about the choices I have made, and I'm excited to weigh in again on Monday.

My next challenge is to get moving...I want to walk 30 minutes every day this weekend. Wish me luck!

:) Jenny

 

Day 9

Hello fellow shrinking friends! I started my new life on January 5th at a whopping 330 lbs. This morning I marched up the stairs at my work (this was my first time NOT taking the elevator) and weighed myself and guess what...I don't weigh 330 anymore...I weigh 322. That's 8 lbs in 9 days. Tomorrow is the dreaded day 10...every "diet" I've ever been on never made it past day 10. This time is different...

I am truly, from the deepest part of my soul, sick and tired of being fat. No more excuses. No more delays. No more. Today I claim total control over my own body.
