WOW!!!! It's been a while!!!! Almost 2 years since I've visited!

I'm back

So, I am finally on here again!!  My last post was talking about how things need to get better and I must say that they have!  I have managed to lose almost 3lbs last week and I got a promotion at work!!  So, that was a ton of good news!  Right now pretty stressed with getting this new job in order and trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a crazy schedule.  But, I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I am still plugging away at the weight loss and hope that you all continue to pray for me and I will do the same for you all!

Things have to get better

I am finally back on here to post.  As you all can see I gained!!  HOW DEPRESSING!!  I am so upset about that but I am not upset enough to do something about it!!!  I am really just in the dumps and in a really bad mood.  I am stressed to no ends and I know that if I get back out and start exercising I will feel 10 time better but I am not listening to my head.  HELP ME if anyone has any ideas how I can overcome this rutt I am up for any and all suggestions!

Getting Support

I am really happy to know that this system is going to be of use!!  I am pretty skeptical about these kinds of things and sharing information with perfect strangers.  But, I am definitely over that!!  I have met Suncharm who I have tons in common with.  We have been chatting and exchanging information!  She has fabulous ideas to help me with my journey .  I am glad to know that there are people out there that I can relate to and help them with their transformation as they help me!  WHOO-HOO 

I gotta get moving

Well, last night was my 1st week weigh in for the Biggest Loser Round 3 competition that I am doing with some friends of mine and I lost 4.5lbs since last week!! I am super excited about that. But, I am not too happy with the fact that I am not working out like I need to be. I will do a little something for like 15 min and then I am tired and don't want to do it anymore. I was in the work out spirit and then went on a 1wk hiatus and cannot regain the momentum I need to get back started on it! Someone please help me! Let me know anything that I could do to get back in the mode of exercising. I know that will help the weight come off but I think my mind is just in the mode that if you're losing it without working out then why bother!! I know that's not right so any help will be awesome!

Just getting started

I am new to this groud so, I am letting everyone know my journey thus far.  I have finally made the lifetime commitment to lose weight and to keep it off.  A few of my girlfriends decided that we wanted to start our own biggest loser competition.  I didn't get in on the first round but decided to join in on the second round which started 4/16/07.  At the start of that round I weighed and amazing 339lbs!!  I had my 2nd child on 01/22/07 and when I delivered him I weighed 343lbs!!  I have been gaining weight regularly.  After starting the biggest loser we weighed in every week the same time and I joined New Life Fitness.  After the first week I lost a total of 12.2lbs!!  Over the next couple weeks I would slowly gain .8 lbs one week, .4 lbs another week and then a whopping 3lbs another week.  I decided that I needed to go and get medical attention and be monitored.  I went to the doctor on 05/22/07 and weight 330lbs.  I told him that I was concerned for my life and that my mother who was overweight died at the very young age of 27 and I didn't want to follow in her shoes.  So, he checked all my vitals which have always been exceptional!  With that being said, I was described Phentermine 37.5mg once daily.  I began using that 05/23/07.  In addition, when I started the medicine I gave up all sodas!!  I decided that i would eliminate pop and drink Fuze and water.  With doing that and light exercise, by the end of the biggest loser round 2 on 06/01/07, I weighed in at 320.4!!!  I was super happy.  We started another round 3 for biggest loser on 06/05/06 and when I went to weigh in I weighed in at 319.1!!  Still losing!! I am praying that I continue on my road to success and a much longer and healther life and I am looking for the support and prayers from anyone!  Good luck to all that is on the same journey as me!
