So I went to my weigh in at Jenny Craig last night (I just finished week 3). They didn't take my before pictures when I first started, so the lady took them last night. It was a polaroid so I could see that picture right away, and honestly I was shocked by how fat I looked. Especially by my arms. Geesh I see myself thinner when i'm actually fatter. lol. Well that just means one thing I have to work my butt of in the gym this week!
Salaam, Adios, Ahoj, Salukes, Farewell, Arrivederci, Au revior.... No matter how you say it 2.4 pounds is gone!
First off I would just like to note that I am starting to feel better! I saw the doctor and he said if I start to feel better I should be fine. Maybe my body is just trying to adjust to my new lifestyle.
2nd Timothy 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline."
I am in the slumps. I have been having pain below my ribs on the left side. I don't know if it is my stomach or gall bladder or maybe something else. But it sucks and i'm worried and I can't make it to the doctor until Wednesday.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Well I have started exercising. I am doing these cheesy rockn' to the oldies Richard Simmons workout tapes that I got from Value Village. They are about an hour long,and I wouldn't say that it is an intense workout. But I do break a sweat and I do get my heart rate up and hey it's more intense then the walking that I have been doing. I also did some crunches and wall pushups afterwards. So, go me! Yeah I am getting fit!
I added some pictures today, but I don't actually have a pic of me at 200 pounds the weight I am at now so I will have to take one. Honestly I don't really want to see it. I have a total of 80 pounds left to lose before I reach goal and I am sooo scared that I am going to have loose skin. I am watching a weight loss program on Dr. phil right now and there is a beautiful lady who lost a lot of weight but has all this saggy skin. I know it wouldn't have been a problem it I would have just lost the weight when I was in the 170's but instead I have gained another 40 pounds. How did I let it get so out of hand. I don't want to reach goal and still look bad b/c I have loose skin. My breasts are already a lost cause, but at least I can wear push up bra. Has anyone else had experience with this sort of thing?
Yeah this is exciting! Thanks to the ladies on the Jenny Craig message board I found this website. What a nice way to track your weight loss. Here is a little info about me. I am 23, married, and I have a little girl named Grace. I am hoping to get into the nuclear medicine tech program starting this September. I have struggled with my body image since I was a teenager, but I never had a weight problem until I had my daughter. I have a been on Weight Watchers a billion and one times, but I could never stick with it. I like the structure of Jenny Craig, as well I feel it is more personal because I get to meet one on one with someone every week. Before I started Jenny Craig I rarely ate fruits and veggies, and I was addicted to diet soda and sugar. Now I eat tons of f&v's and I no longer have a problem with diet soda and sugars. I find just making small changes like the ones I just mentioned have made a huge difference in the way I feel. I am proud of my efforts! I am thinking that I would also like to go to OEA because I would really like to change my life. At church last Sunday the pastor was telling a story of two men who were put in a fire b/c they believed in God, but because of there faith they were saved from being burned. The pastor also said that God uses the struggles in your life ( your own personal fire) to change you, and make you into a better person. My struggle with overeating is my "fire", and if I let God walk me through it I can become a better person.
