Wow, where does the time go?  Seems like I just put up this site for my journey to lose 100 pounds in 1 year.

But, no… in less than 3 weeks, it will have been up for 1 whole year!! And, I am sad to say, I did not make my goal of 100 pounds in one year.  I have lost almost 19. lol  I have had lots of bumps in the road, lost motivation, never gave up, but took a break I suppose.

I believe making the goal of losing 100 pounds in 1 year, was too high of a goal, it was overwhelming which is what I believed to have detered me a bit from having a big loss.  I am still happy to say though, that I have lost 75.6 pounds in almost 19 months(1.5 yrs).  That is awesome! I haven’t gained the weight back, but maintained my loss, which is still something to be proud of.

I have updated my Stats page to put up my new goals, come my birthday though, I will edit it again for the official new goals hehe.  But ya, i think this time i will stick to smaller goals, cause when i reach them, I am ecstatic and it motivates me even more.

I am sooo looking forward to Tuesday night.  Biggest loser season 10 starts!  That is so motivating to watch, I find I always exercise more when that show is airing.  If you haven’t seen it before, you should really check it out.  After a couple weeks, you will be hooked.

There is a gym being built near me, that I may be joining with a friend.  Doesn’t open til December though, but they have a pool, and lots of different classes and such.  Might be easier to join something like that WITH someone, so we shall see…

Looking forward to my birthday in a few weeks, not so much the number though. lol But havin’a big ole party at the bar. There is a band that I go see play there from time to time(http://www.dbderringer.com), and I asked the person who books the bands to book them for that night, cause I really wanted to party with them there.   They so rock.

I promised I’d bring extra business with me, so everyone is welcome, come one come all! hehe October 9th – 930pm(I may go early to do a song or two karaoke before the band starts)til whenever ya wanna leave hehe. 347 Montreal Rd in Vanier, Ontario.

Thank you everyone for following me on this journey, your support means the world to me, it helps me to keep going with everyone out there in my corner!!  Thanks for reading.

So, been awhile again, I am getting so bad at this. sigh. But, I think it was because i was on a plateau(notice the word was?? hehe)

Seems like I may be back on track.  One week I gained 7.4 pounds, I think that was what i needed, motivated me to get back on track.  The week after the big gain, I lost 6.6 pounds, the following week I lost 1.5 pounds, the week after that(last week) I didn’t lose anything, but I also didn’t gain   Then this week, I lost 1.6.  YAY!

This is for a total of 75.1 pounds.  24.9 more pounds and I can say I lost 100! woot!  I just want to say I am so glad I did it the old fashioned way and not had the weightloss surgery.  I have a friend who did it, she has been helping me with errands and such, so I said I would buy her subway   So she has a 6 inch sub…no drink, no cookies.. JUST the 6 inch sub, she was barely done half of it and she was full!  Eating the whole sub(which is not very much) she felt physically ill because “she ate too much”, and she has just had a lot of complications from having the surgery and she wishes she never had it.

The surgery may be right for some people, but it definately wouldn’t have been right for me as I have lost 75.1 pounds on my own and in 18 months!

Saw my best friend today, she had a baby a week ago, he is sooooo cute! I want one!! Wanted one way before she was pregnant lol the whole motivation to start my weightloss journey, definately can’t have a baby at this size.  Especially after the show I watched today.

It was on TLC called “Obese and pregnant” saw it advertised sayin coming up next. I said to my friend, ohhhh i want to see this.. wow, made me definately want to lose more weight.  They could barely hear the baby’s heart beat under “10 layers of fat” she was about 362 close to giving birth.  I definately don’t want to be 3 anything when i am giving birth!  So I still have a ways to go before even considering it, and i am turning 36 next month sigh.  Hopefully I will have a baby before I turn 40!  Plus I have to have a girl so my best friend’s son and my daughter can get married…lol

Hope everyone is well, thanks for reading!  Thank you everyone for all your support, it has meant soooo much.
