Update – 01/26/10

So tomorrow marks my 11 month anniversary on this weight loss journey.  I have lost 70.6 pounds in that time.

I lost point 6 of a pound this week, but hey, it’s a loss so i will take it :) Brings me under the 3s again.  I am now 299.4, woohoo!

I updated all my statistics on the stats page :) and also on the home page to the left.  Not really much else to say, except I am still doing it, never thought I would still be at this almost a year later, I think I shocked myself hehe.

Don’t forget to watch the biggest loser tonight!!! 8-10pm eastern standard time on NBC!

Weekly update

Sorry, i didn’t post yesterday… But, i did have a 1.2 pound loss for the week, so that’s good :) woulda been nice had it been 1.3 though lol Cause i am now 300(yes i know, still trying to lose the rest of the weight i gained over the holidays)  Just about there though, 1 more pound :-)

I have now lost 70 pounds in almost 11 months! :) So that is good, and 12.6 from the start of my 100 pound year, so 87.4 more pounds and to achieve that by October 7, 2010, I need to lose 2.4 pounds a week.  I will do that darnit!

Anyways, not much else to say, just wanted to update everyone!  Hope everyone is having a great week! Keep on keepin’ on :)

Fallen off the wagon

Ok, don’t panic, I got back on the wagon. lol Well i didn’t really fall off exactly, kinda learing on and off.  But, it is too be expected around Christmas right? Especially when people give me chocolates and candy as gifts since i did so well lol  I know people mean well and think it is a good thing.. and it is, if they said here, you did so well have a chocolate.. not here have a barrel of chocolates! lol I mean does an alcoholic put a bottle of vodka in the fridge and have a sip from time to time? No, they will drink the whole thing and probably go out and get more, right?… same thing. We can’t just put a box of chocolates away and have one from time to time, we eat the whole thing and want more… so needless to say I gained 8 pounds over the holidays lol

BUT… happy to report, i have now lost 6.2 of those 8! :) and that is since tuesday! haha. Guess since i gained it so quick, it is coming off just as quick.

I know my last post, i said i would do my updates on fridays, well really i guess i will do them when i have something to say!

There is a song I have been listening to a lot lately, I believe it has to do with being addicted to drugs and falling off the wagon, but it goes for this to, since it is a similiar situation.. i am an addict as well… just not to drugs.  So if you know anyone who is going through what I am or something similiar(alcoholic, drug addict etc), please share the video with them.  I think it helped me in not going omg i screwed up, i can’t do it.  Stopped me from going there…

Oh and something else helped too… Around New Years Eve, I had ordered some clothes online.  I had been wearing 4x in my clothes, and they are getting a bit loose, so i figured I am between a 3 and 4x… so i ordered a 3x in the 2 tops and 2 pairs of jeans.  Figured then they would be a bit snug on me and I would have them for awhile… So, i get them, try them on and ummm they aren’t snug at all! In fact I could have gotten away with a 2x in the tops! I was beyond thrilled, and that motivated me. Anyways, here is a pic of me wearing the jeans and top. :)

So, now I have to go do my groceries, am running out of food.  Hope everyone has a great weekend! I still have to update my stats, I posted before I did that, but by the time you read this, it should be all updated :) Have lost 68.8 total so far and 11.4 since October 8th(the start of my 100 pound year) So need to lose approx. 2.3 pounds a week every week to meet that goal. :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend! xo

Happy New Year! – and an update

Happy New Year everyone!! Hope everyone gets what they wished for in 2010 and you accomplish your goals!

So until February 12th, my weigh in days will now be on Fridays.  I have been doing a biggest loser challenge on this website I belong to, and this one just started today and will run until Feb 12th – valentine’s challenge.

So, I have lots of work to do in 2010.  In almost 3 weeks(2.5), I have gained 7.2 pounds!  That is crazy.  But, I won’t dwell on that…. i can’t do that. You can’t succeed if you dwell on the past or slipups/mistakes you have made.  What’s done is done.  I will move forward and continue my weightloss journey :)

To reach my goal of losing 100 pounds by October, I now need to lose 2.36 pounds a week every week.  I posted my goals on the Stats page.

“I think I can!  I think I can!  I think I can!”

Had to edit this post to add a video of exactly what I am going through right now, something to think about and is soooo true!
