Weekly update 12/29/09

Nothing much to report except that i gained 2.6 pounds over the week.  Not really surprising, surprised I didn’t gain more than that actually lol If people would stop giving me chocolate and candy during the holidays! grrrr That is like giving an alcoholic a bottle of wine, no??

Oh well once the holidays are over, I will be back on track :)

Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season! xo

Merry Christmas and an update!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!  So I never posted an update on Tuesday and got in heck from my family last night, so I figured I should post today haha.

My last weigh in, I was up point 4 of a pound.  Not to bad, although I am sure I am up a pound or two at least now since there are all these christmas goodies around, aaaagh! But it is okay, cause I will get back into things once the holidays are over.  In the meantime, I will just have to make up for eating extra by working out with my bike or wii fit plus or even doing a dvd or something. I am on holidays til the 4th, so I have extra time to workout, I might as well take advantage! :)

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and that Santa was good to you!! :)

Here is an updated “before and after” picture. :)

Update 12/15/09

This may be a lengthy post, be forwarned haha!

Weigh in day today!!! I am ecstatic! I think by now, most everyone knows my results, as i was telling everyone that would listen lol I lost 3.6 pounds this week, for a total loss of 70.2 pounds! Which also brought me under the 3s! My weight as of this morning is 299.8! I have not been in the 2s in at LEAST 12-15 years!

Last spring, a coworker did this thing like a pound for pound challenge. She got people to sponser her to lose weight, could be whatever people wanted to sponser etc.. like 25 cents per pound or a flat rate etc etc and in the fall she donated the money she made to the food bank, it was called something like breakfast for kids, not exactly sure on that.. but some food related charity, she had raised over 340 dollars!

Anyways in the new year we may go in on something like that together. It may be just her and I or other people may be involved and see who can raise the most money type thing.. we shall see what it may bring :) But looking forward to that.

Anyways… Christmas came early for me this year!! My big brother and sister in law gave me a recumbent exercise bike for christmas! I am beyond thrilled. It was sooo nice of them and I appreciate it so much! They brought it over on Sunday and then we went to visit my dad.They were talking about exercise and how there is no time etc etc…and my sister in law said that as of the 1st of january she will start getting an exercise regime going… my response? Why wait til the 1st when you can start right now? I am turning into a fitness guru! ha!

Will be holdin ya to that K! hehe

Anyways, will post pictures of the bike :)

Weekly Update 12/08/09

Weigh in day today. :) (and the finale of the biggest loser, woooot!)
So today I “only” lost point 2 of a pound.

But, let me tell you, I was beyond thrilled!!! I was absolutely positive that I had gained at LEAST 2 pounds….GAINED! lol I went to bed saying pls don’t let it be more than a 2 pound gain, 2 or less, that is all i ask! Not only did i NOT gain 2 or more pounds, but i LOST point 2 of a pound, yay me!!!

Had a bad weekend(or rather good weekend, hence the problem! ha!) so i figured i would have gained, seeing as all i had to drink and eat and the lack of execise over the week. But we all have those days/weeks, as long as it isn’t a regular occurence, it’s all good. :)

So off I go and make my chicken salad….my cat has been sucking up to me since about 6, i think she knows my schedule a little too well! Wants a taste of cheese and chicken i think haha. While my other cat will be willing me to drop some lettuce for him. I have some weird cats I do…

Oh before I go, to meet my 100 pound goal for the year, I need to lose 2.1 pounds a week every week. I can do that! :)
Thanks again for all the support, it means so much to me!

Weekly update – 12/01/09

December 1st already?! How did that happen? Seriously?!?! It has been almost a full 2 months since the launching of this site!

So, today is weigh in day(coinciding with the day the biggest loser plays!). So, I got on the scale this morning to a very nice surprise… a loss of 2.8 pounds for the week!!!! I was and am, beyond thrilled! I was hyper all day hehe. The total loss to date is 66.4 pounds! The total for my 100pound year goal is a 9lb loss so far(since oct 8th), to meet my goal of 100 pounds from oct 8-oct 7, I need to lose approximately 2.1lbs a week….EVERY week.

I can do that, right? I mean, it IS doable…. but look at the last few weeks… nothing last week, point 6 of a pound the week before.. 1.something the week before that and the week before that lol. I need to pick up the slack methinks. lol

Either way though, any loss is a good loss :) Just trying to get to as close to the goal i set as i can.

I am watching the biggest loser right now(and typing this during commercials), that show is sooo motivational/inspirational. This week they went home for 60 days and have to implement what they learned on the ranch and do it in their daily at home life. When they go home, there is always a group of people waiting and cheering them on, a big ole party… I want that! lol Like for a huge milestone of 100 pounds, that is only 33.6 pounds more to lose… 33.6 seems like nothing when i have just lost 66.4! But that would be cool to just have a big party, people i know, people that know me through people i know, people who heard of me… I want to motivate/inspire people like the biggest loser is doing to me!!

So in closing, i WILL be the biggest loser!! hehe
