27.4 lbs down and a bad blogger!!!

Well Ladies .... I'm sure no guys view this so I guess that's safe to say.

I'm reluctantly attaching some photos taken this morning. I'm feeling disgustingly gross about myself when I see me 1/2 naked, but normally I just love MEMEMEMEMEME!! Not in photos. I'm not impressed that I can't see any difference, but I do feel it and that's all that matters right? :)

Oh and I'm taken BTW - lol

God this is humbling!!!

Cheers

Well it's that time again .... I am NOT a faithful blogger and I'll be the first to admit that. I figure why bother when I say all I want on the boards anyhow, but I do like this and I do think this is necessary for my journey and I hope it can help others. Really I mean that.

If anyone can pose in hot pink spandex with lumps EVERYWHERE then meh .... I can do pretty much anything and so can you. Seeing myself in those pants isn't flattering, however it is my treadmill pants and well a visual I need to see when I want a medium 3 topping pizza with dipping sauce and a package of vachon cakes for a meal. I NEED to see all the fat on the backs of my legs to keep me motivated. It also reminds me why I do the measurements.

Chest - 46"
Waist - 42" (down 2)
Hips - 53" (down 1)
Thigh - 33"
Calves - 19"
Arm - 15" (down 1)

Hump Day!!

So I'm a get on the scale every day sometimes more than once kind of gal and this week I'm REALLY paying for my sins of the weekend and it was really only one day of that weekend too but the scale is being horrible. Tomorrow marks my 2nd WI .... Oiy it would be not cool to gain my 2nd week. I'm tracking faithfully and I'm drinking my water. I am not moving as much as I'd like, but I AM moving everyday.

I'll add my ridiculous measurements today. Boy ........... my thighs sure are as big as someone's waist. Sigh!!! All a part of the journey. Keep repeating that Janet.

August 9th - I'll redo those again September 9th

Chest: 46"
Waist: 44"
Hips: 54"
Thigh: 33" GAH ...... I think I did that one right :(
Calf: 19"
Upper Arm: 16"

Ummmmm O.K I'll post cause someone wondered :)

Hi all ........ I'm back at meetings and I lost 5.6 lbs my first week. Wonder if I'll lose anythign this week. I've had so many first weeks that I'm hoping last week was the last first week that I ever have.

I'm being brave or crazy or whatever you want to call it but for all the world to see here is my 278.8 lb NEWEST before pics. I obviously without a doubt want to get back to looking like I did in the pics just below this but I have to start somewhere.

Be inspired or disgusted ----- Your choice. lol

P.S - my hair is not greasy. It's wet.

A week has gone by

I did the program good for the frist 4 days and 1/2 assed the program the second part and felt bad and took a hiatus here which won't happen again, BUT I am on a computer schedule now. Yeah it was needed so I'm going with it. LOL

Anyhow I lost 3 Lbs. WooHoo I'm taking that and running with it and I'll try super hard for all 7 days this week.

I'm keeping the scale out this week "I think" :)

Today my schedule looks like this .... Groceries, Breakfast, Bike Ride, Treadmill, Lunch, Math, Nap, Math, T.V, Dinner, Computer time, Bed.

Oh aren't I exciiting??? :)

This is my Goal

I was searching through old e-mails this morning and I came across these phots. I'm 175 lbs in those pictures!!! It's where I'm aiming to get. I have those pants still. The picture with me in the size 8 jeans and size small top I still have those clothes as well. I can look at that picture today without getting sad. That's a real big thing for me since all year I've cried many times thinking about my weight.

Today's weight loss tip made me giggle. It's a simple little fact that's for sure and one that somedays is so hard.

No exercise to update as I didn't do any today. I'm going on Day 4 and I must drink, drink, drink a lot of water. I feel like a sausage and that isn't a very nice feeling. Have a good one!

Day 3 and feeling AWESOME

So blogging is like one big open diary to the world in a way I guess and well ........... I LOVE IT!!!

I got up at 4:45 am and have just completed my workout. That felt good. It's not easy getting up that early every day but I know I have to go to bed early and I did that last night. It was light out at 9:15 pm and I was settling in.

Not seeing the scale in the bathroom this morning was weird. I highly doubt if I was the only person that stepped on the scale multi times in a day but I know for me to be successful this time I have to limit that and trust that the weight will come off with all I'm doing. Calories in vs. Calories out.

I feel good so far.

My day is planned with food and that's how far I've gotten. I have a super long day and won't get home until 10 pm so I know today will not be a challenge at all strangely enough because when I did slip it's only with me and Joe. I'm a closet eater ......... WOW there I said it!!! No I don't eat closets, but somedays it feels like I could.

I will make it and I will feel fantastic.
