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.

I have only lost about 2 pounds since December…at least i haven’t gained lots back or anything.  I am on holidays this week, so hopefully i will start picking up the exercise – like doing some. lol I have totally slacked in that department.

I am glad to be off work though til the 9th.  Need the break Been pretty busy lately. 

Where has the time gone? Can you believe it will be New Year’s Day 5 months from today?!  Crazy!!  I want to lose at least 25 pounds by then, correction.. I will lose 25 pounds by then!

I hope I still have a bit of a fanbase, i know it has been 2 months almost since my last update, pls don’t give up on me!

Looks like i won’t be making my 100 pound year goal, cause that would mean i would have to lose 84.6 pounds in the next 2 months. lol  As long as i lose some weight, that is what matters. lose and not gain, that is the key ha!

Thanks for reading and the encouragement and support is greatly appreciated! Helps me to keep on truckin’

Here is a picture from a week ago, July 23.

So i weighed in yesterday and apparently lost 4.7 pounds since Tuesday, haha!  Will see how i do next Friday I guess

Anyways just wanted to update everyone.  If you check out my stats page, you will see I updated my new goals. I think they should be more doable.  Seeing too high of a goal I think was getting me discouraged cause i didn’t make them.  Now the goals are set at 1.5 pounds a week, I can do that!

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Cutting out the chips and stuff again, guess i kept lying to myself, it isnt like i have it ALL the time, so it is ok… well once in a blue moon turned into once every 2 weeks which turned into once a week which was about to start turning into saturdays AND sundays lol.  So now ill stick to just having popcorn when i go to the movies or something.  For awhile anyways

Now i am just waiting til my show starts.  Losing It with Jillian Michaels! woohoo! Love that show, the first show was last Tuesday and it was awesome.  It comes on NBC at 10pm est on Tuesday nights, check it out!

Hope everyone is doing well and thanks for reading!

I lost 2.1 pounds this week   I weighed 295.1 on Tuesday and then 2 days later I weighed myself again because it was the anniversary of my weightloss, 15 months… I weighed 294.8 for a total loss of 75.2 pounds! woohoo!!  Hopefully it will keep on going down.

It has been more difficult with the exercising and trying to lose weight lately since it has been so hot. I love the summer weather, but cant really do too much exercise when it is 30-40 degrees out and add about 5 degrees to that in my apt lol But my most awesome brother will be installing my ac soon, so yay!  He came by on Sunday to do that, but the management replaced my windows a couple years ago, so the plexi glass i have to put above the ac does not fit, so he had to bring it home and get it cut… but will be back again at some point   Then i can start exercising a little more hardcore again, woohoo!

Thank you everyone for following me on my journey and for all the encouragement, keep it coming, i need all the motivation i can get lol  I won’t be meeting my100poundyear goal, but thats ok, any loss is a good loss The goal was to lose 100 pounds from october/09 to october/10 and since october i have lost 17-18 pounds, so i wont be losing 80something by this october. :-p  But as long as i lose some, that is the main thing.  I will for sure have lost 100 pounds total though by then so that will be awesome… a great birthday present to myself, that is for sure

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!! I am thinking of going to the new sex and the city movie on Sunday, hopefully i won’t get run over by the mob of people..lol

I lost almost a pound this week(.8).  I have been starting to change up my exercise regime, since I haven’t been losing much weight.  I have lost about 3 pounds in 5 months lol… but i must be losing inches, cause i keep having to buy new clothes.

Anyways, I am beginning to use the stairs in my apt bldg as exercise.  Sunday evening, I went up to 7.5th floor(in between 7 and and back down to my apt on the 3rd in 2 mins(2 flights of stairs per floor), then Monday, I went up to the 9th floor and back down in 4 mins and tonight i went to the 8th and back down in 4 mins – was tired today ha!  I will be doing the bike after I finish this post.

So today I am at the cash in the cafeteria getting a muffin and someone behind me, who doesn’t look familiar to me at all, but she obviously knows who i am lol, says “you have lost a lot of weight eh? You look fabulous” That feels so good hearing stuff like that from people I don’t even know!  Well people i do know too lol.. you know what i mean Just makes me feel like a celebrity or something.

Then tonight my sister-in-law emails me to tell me how her brother-in-law’s sister told her to tell me she will be cheering me on from afar. I thought that was sooo sweet!  It is stuff like that that keeps me motivated, keeps me going.. i mean i don’t want to let my fans down. lol

Anyways, thanks again for all the support!  It means the world to me!  My total loss since February 27, 2009 is now 73.9

So, not last weigh in, but the one before i was pretty ticked… the scale showed a 5.2 pound gain!  That was crazy… but luckily for me, the following week(last tuesday) the scale showed a loss of 6.8 pounds, woohoo!!

I snuck a peak today and it shows a 2.3 pound loss since Tuesday, so hopefully there will be at least a 2 pound loss this coming Tuesday

Things are definately changing for me during this weightloss journey… Last weekend, the amount i did, a couple years ago woulda taken me a month!!  Saturday morning, I went to penningtons and spent waaaay too much money, but that’s the downfall of losin weight, gotta keep spendin money on new clothes.  I was shopping for a good hour and a half…a couple years ago, if i were shopping more than 20 mins, my legs would feel like jello and i would have to stop.  Also i would do ONE thing over the course of the weekend, cause it would be enough… so i did that saturday, then sunday morning i went to walmart for a good hour or so.  Came home and relaxed a couple hours, then went out to the mall to return something, then came home and relaxed for an hour or so and then went to a movie with a friend.

Speaking of movies…. Last June was the 1st time i went to a movie in 8 YEARS!  Since February, I have gone to FIVE movies!!  Movie theaters were just so uncomfortable and would not be able to sit in their seats… now i can, yay!!  Good thing too, cause at the end of may Sex and the City 2 is coming to theaters and i DEFINATELY will be seeing that in the theater!!!  Saw the 1st one a week or so ago on dvd and wished I had seen it in the theater.

I want to thank everyone again for their support, it means more than you know! xo Also, I am super happy that i have been motivating and inspiring others like me.  Have received emails from time to time asking for advice and such, makes me feel soooo good.

Have no recent pictures to add i am afraid, sorry   A couple weeks ago I lost my camera, sigh.  But last weekend, i bought a new one.  I just need to get used to it and then I will be a picture maniac again. hehe

Thanks for reading!

Was pretty sick with a cold and was doing absolutely nothing, not only was I not exercising, but i didnt even go to work(the little exercise of getting to the bus and going…)… and as i was sick was just eating whatever was available.. who wants to think of what to eat when they feel gross?

Anyways… then this week i lost half a pound.  Which i will take as it was easter weekend! mmmmm chocolate!

I will be updating my stats page and make different goals, so stay tuned   Since today is april 7th, i didnt meet my goal of 275.2 oh well… as long as i am not gaining the weight back.  I will start losing again

I hope everyone had a great Easter!!   I can not believe we are now in the 4th month of 2010!!  Where is the time going? It is crazzzzzy!  As of today, I only have 6 months left of my hundred pound year and about 85 or so pounds left to go lol  Would need to lose 3.3 pounds a week to meet that goal.  As long as I lose something i will be happy   Even if i “only” lose a pound a week, i will be pretty close to goal in 2.5 years. So i will keep trekkin’

I have a fanpage on facebook and to date, I have 439 fans!  I feel like a celebrity   People I don’t even know are being so supportive.  Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement, it is greatly appreciated!

Oh before I forget, i have a few new pics

Thanks for reading!

So, I had gone shopping at additionelle around Feb. 20th, and i had bought these denim capris(with no elastic at the waist, have always needed elastic at the waist in the past)…size 24. They were super, ultra tight on me.. could barely breath lol and took forever to just get them on… but, i bought them anyway cause i was like i will be wearing them at some point

I have lost 1.5 pounds since then….thats it, not even 2 pounds(i just checked lol)… anways.. i just put them on no problem and am sitting while i type this!!!!! I am able to breathe too! lol 24?!! Feb/09 and earlier, i was taking a size 32!! and at that was almost too tight….oh and with elastic at the waist to boot!

I am sooo excited!!!!!

So i guess i have lost way more inches than pounds lol I think i will get a friend of mine to measure me next time i see her… i still have the stats of my measurements from when i was at curves back from june-oct… so will see how many i have lost since then

I am on cloud 9 right now! lol

This is sooo motivating!  Makes me want to go exercise! Talk to everyone later and thanks for reading and again for all the support!  Love you all!! xo

Happy to say i lost 1.6 pounds this week, yay!! Might have to do with the fact i have had a cold though, but shhhh we will say it is cause i worked hard hehe

I feel like i am getting back on track, slowly but surely   I am almost at the 75 pounds lost mark, and that makes me happy!  I never would have imagined to EVER lose 75 pounds, and i have…or will shortly lol 73.1 so far!  I feel like having a party of sorts when i reach the 100 pound mark hmmmmm. That would be nice, so if anyone wants to plan one for me, feel free lol  I should be at that point in 4 months or so….no, correction, i WILL have lost 100 pounds total by Canada Day 

So on Saturday, as a little reward for losing that amount of weight, I had decided to have the full blown spa treatment Massage, eyebrows done, hair cut and color   It was awesome!  Will definately be doing that again, maybe every 2 months or for every mini goal i meet or something, either way, i will be doing it again!

I will attach a few pictures I took of my new look.  The pictures do not do it justice though.  People i don’t even know(have seen around, but don’t know personally) were coming up to me telling me how much they like my hair.

Again, I want to thank everyone for being so supportive and encouraging, I appreciate it more than you know!  Thanks for reading =)
