And again.
I'm doing pretty well.
I think I've got this.

What am I doing.
Okay, for some reason around Chrismas break I started eating junk food again. I'm not sure exactly where the loss in motivation came from, but I've gained back a good deal of weight from my lowest at 150. I'm probably closer to 170 now, which means I gained weight very rapidly. It's unhealthy, and I really have no excuse for doing that to my body. It's time for me to get serious again. I did it before, and I never felt better than those few months. Rereading my last post, I'm longing to get back on my old no-junk program. Food is not entertainment! Food should not be the focus of my life! I am going to reclaim what I had and start dropping pounds again.
I've done it before, and I'll do it again!

Wow.
Well.. I'm actually doing it. For real this time. It's not one of those "I think I'm going to do it this time!" things. This is serious. I AM doing it. Meaning I've been passing over snacks and sweets for a couple weeks now, and I've lost 7-8 pounds already. :D
It's amazing what just plain-old cutting back can do. I don't even consider eating desserts anymore, and it's really working for me. Some meals I'll eat a little more than I wanted to, like the whole sandwich instead of half. But cutting out the crap is really making an obvious difference both in my weight and my self confidence. It's AWESOME.
I'm 160 now, when I was 186 back in 2010. YIKES. I'm never going back. I'm really happy with my new lifestyle, and I know if I add in more exercise I'll drop the weight even faster! I'm so excited to go back home for fall break and see how impressed my family is, since I've pretty much been gaining weight since high school and failing at diets until now. Thing is, it's not really a diet. Just a lifestyle change. I'm just being healthy, no starving involved. If I eat something that I feel pretty fat after eating, then I add that to the list of don't-eats.
Over the summer, I had started a similar program along with P90X, and it was going really well until one of my friends died. After that I kinda just let myself go and eat whatever I wanted. It helped me a little emotionally, since I didn't want to do anything else, but in the long run it put me back in my rutt and made me unhappy. It went on like that for the remainder of the summer, but I decided for myself that I'd start back up again being healthy when I got to school. Since I mentally prepared, I just made it happen. I was eating chocolate the day before I left for school, but when I got back here, I didn't touch a single piece of junk food. And it's been like that since August 23rd.
I'm so happy about this, so I figured I'd share my good news so far with anyone who reads my blog. :p

Scales are annoying, and still I'm losing.
I've still been running each night, though a few days ago I went a couple days without it. Which was a mistake, because I ate snack foods then too. But now I'm back on track, being active, eating fairly healthily.
I am home for spring break this week, and the scales at my house tell me I weigh more than the one at school does. And even the two here are about two pounds different! Annoying, but either way the weight on any scale is getting less and less. And I am looking better, too! That ugly fat roll on my back where my back meets my hips is going away. I can hardly see it anymore. Hooray!
I feel great, and I fit fine in my bridesmaid's dress. :) Cheers!

Losing! C:
I'm down to 166 now! I ran 3.5 miles last night and I feel great. Now I need to eat a lot of healthy food and keep doing it. I'm excited. :D

Haven't blogged in a while!
This time around, I feel like I'm getting serious!
I've been running every day almost, around 2 miles each time up and down hills. I'm getting in better shape every day! Still, the weight isn't coming off very fast like I hoped it would. I have a pretty slow metabolism, but it's also attributed to how much I'm eating.
I'm still eating less than I used to, but it's not enough cutback to lose weight, apparently. I have to cut out the junk food! And for the record, chips do not make a run feel good. Haha.
I'm stuck around 170 and I'm losing weight to fit into a bridesmaid's dress. Hopefully I can stick with it this time! :)

Starting again.
Name: Kari
Age: 19
I'm back at school, and that's pretty bad news for my self-control. Unfortunately with not much to do here in this small town other than homework and eating, I tend to look forward to meals and see them as a reward for working.
I really need to cut the habit. I do get a good amount of exercise with my ultimate frisbee team, and I've been trying to run a mile each day I don't have practice. But it isn't really competing with the amount I eat. I'm going to try to cut back a lot on snacks, and that means throwing it all out whether I like it or not.
For instance, I made chocolate covered chex mix that I've been eating mostly, and I just now threw it out my dorm window. Score one for me, I guess.
So any support is much, much appreciated. If you want to exchange emails and support each other, send me a message and I'll be happy to exchange. My goal is to lose around 25 lbs by Christmas, which is definitely doable if I stay on track. I have a bridesmaid's dress to wear in March, and it would just be amazing if I could finally look pretty, especially for my brother's wedding. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing! I can't mess up the pictures by gaining more weight.
Thanks for reading, and good luck with your weight loss too.

Back into it!
So I had a pretty few weeks this summer when I got back up to almost 180, but now I'm back down to 173 again. My new mini goal is to get into the 160's! I know I can do it. :D

Hang Gliding and Success
Well my life is just great at the moment. I started hang gliding lessons, which I'm obsessed with. I'm also working at the aerosports place, and getting a lot of exercise and not eating much while I'm there(too hot outside to want food). Also while I'm working at the restaurant I never eat. So I've been really cutting back! HG is great motivation to stay fit, since I don't want to be huffing and puffing while I'm running around the runway.
So hopefully I can keep this up and stay on track with my eating. I've lost three pounds this weekend. Of course that's probably mostly glucose and not fat, but I'm getting there. Gotta burn it off eventually. :) Bye bye, fat!

Stuck in a Rutt
So for the past few days I've been kinda eating more.. which is really bad. I'm stuck at around 176 lbs. I know I'm going to gain it back if I keep eating like this. I need motivation! Maybe the weight loss has made me feel like I can eat more, but I can't. I was on a roll.. I CANNOT lose my motivation..
I had a whole bag of chips today, and I just feel terrible. If I run today and don't eat anything else, I can probably avoid turning it all into fat. Diet starts back up NOW.
Any support is appreciated!
