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

My friend was over doing wii fit plus with me this afternoon and she took a video of me
Will put it up for everyone to see. Hope you enjoy it haha. I just love my wii.

Thanks for recording me G!

Every week, I look forward to Tuesdays to see how much weight i lost, then once I weigh myself, i start looking forward to the next tuesday…I think i am addicted hehe… there are worse things to be addicted to i suppose.

Well, I was pretty dissapointed to see no loss this week. But, at least I didn’t gain and in the big picture, I have lost 63.6lbs since February.. that is awesome! Just when you are soooooo close to being under the 3s, you want to lose EVERY week so you can be that much closer, ya know?

Oh well, the time will come… and when it does I will want to have a party haha. Haven’t been under the 3s since probably around when I left highschool, so about *cough* fifteen *cough* years ago.

I am not letting this get me down! Well, I was down, but only momentarily lol Then when I looked at the big picture, I could see things a little more clearly.

Hope everyone is having a happy Tuesday! 20 mins and biggest loser starts, yay!!!!

One month down, 11 to go! Actually a little less than 11 now.  Since February 27th, I have lost a total of 63lbs!  I can not believe it, that is the most I have ever lost….ever!!  Normally it is about 20-25lbs and 2 months of trying… now it is 63 and over 8 months!

My 100poundyear goal though started as of October 8th which runs to October 7th – my 36th birthday.  So for the month, I have lost 5.6lbs.  I need to lose approximately 2lbs a week to meet this goal, I can do that…right??  Sure i can!

I watched the biggest loser tonight…as i do every tuesday night hehe. I love that show, so inspiring and motivating.  If they can do it, I most certainly can!

I think I am just telling myself this over and over so I will believe it. lol Either way, if i do or do not lose the 100 in  a year.. any loss is a good loss and 63 is pretty good I’d say!  I am the lightest I have been since I don’t know when….early adulthood I may have been lighter, but not by much.  When I was 28, I weighed 1lb more than I do now…

Anyways, just thought I would update everyone.  Thank you all for your support, encouragement and your kind words, I can not tell you enough  what it means to me.  People I don’t even know to be rooting for me, it’s awesome!

I watched an episode of Ruby a couple months ago on this.  In the episode she flew to see a friend of hers and it was talking about her being “a big person in a small person world”, on the plane no one could sit beside her because she took up part of the next seat and it would be too uncomfortable for the both of them.

But anyways, I thought of this episode on monday, as I experienced something similiar.  My job moved locations and I knew the cubicles would be small, but i didnt realize just HOW small.  My old office, the cubicle was massively HUGE…we were spoiled hehe. So i figured small would be normal… ya, not so much.

I came into work and was like holy small! My chair took up the whole office practically.  I lost it, I mean I lost 61lbs since February, but coming into my office and seeing that my chair took up the whole space.. i burst into tears.  I mean to get in and out of the office, i had to back the chair up and SQUEEZE in.. I know everyone must have been like why is she so upset? We are only keying and don’t need much space… but they don’t live in MY world! They don’t know what it’s like to be me, experiencing crap like this day to day… going to the movies and barely fitting into the seat(probably why i rarely go), anyways seeing my tiny little office, i felt like i gained 100lbs on the spot.. it was horrible.

They ended up taking a panel of my cubicle off so I would feel more comfortable and not feel so enclosed in my office.  I mean my office is so small, during break yesterday, I had my chair pressed right up against my desk and my feet stuck OUTSIDE my office! Apparently it is the standard size… but for who? someone who is 110lbs?!

Just bugs me, I should be feeling great that I lost 61.6lbs since February 27th, but i wasn’t thinking that at all.. what i WAS thinking of was.. so what? i am so massively huge i can’t fit into my office, what a loser i am etc etc etc… i was in tears all day which in turn ended up makin me sick I guess, cause I now have a cold.

Anyways, I should feel proud that I lost 61.6lbs.. and i mean i do.. but just this week i felt like crap(well more that day than the week). I mean i lost 1.8lbs this week, that is a GOOD thing! Just gotta keep telling myself that ha!

Anyways, sorry the post ended up not being a happy happy joy joy post, but the truth is, this journey won’t be all roses… i wish it would be, would be so much easier haha. But I am sure a lot of people out there will be able to relate to this entry themselves.  Keep your chin up, keep on truckin’ and know you CAN do it!! We all can.

Thanks for reading,

Megan

ps here is a picture from halloween

I feel good, I knew that I would na na na  na na.. just like the song

So a few things happened to me on Friday.  First, I had to go to work late as I was waiting for purolator to deliver me a pkg and they wouldn’t give me a time frame, only 8-5. So, I asked a friend if she would come over to wait for me, but I would wait until either the pkg arrived, or she did, whichever came first.  Well she arrived at 9:20, which allowed me to go to work.  But, she brought a winter jacket with her.  She had lost some weight awhile back and still had the jacket, so she brought it for me to try on.  So I figured it wouldn’t fit since it was only a 3x, up til august i was wearing a 5x and am now wearing a 4x..but jackets tend to be a size higher in clothes that i would need… but anyways… it fit!!! Really tight, I can’t wear it NOW, but the point is, it fit!!  In a month or so, it should fit okay to wear, YAY!!!

So, i go on my way to work and close to the end of the day, a coworker of mine who knows I have been losing weight and talked to me about it, told me that another coworker had asked her how much i lost, because she has noticed. YAY!!

Then, just before I leave for the day, i go to the bathroom and a coworker was there and she looks at me and pretty much let out a gasp with a shocked look on her face and says Have you lost weight????  Keep in mind, i see this person everyday! lol She acted like suddenly i lost 60 pounds over night…don’t we all wish huh?? hehe.  I should have told her that no, i hadn’t lost any weight, in fact i gained weight lol But ya that was pretty funny and felt good knowing that people are finally noticing!  And now the whole office will know, cause she is that type of person hehe She will be telling everyone probably lol

So ya, I feel good! da na na na na I knew that i would da na na na na, feel good, so good… wooooooo!

So….. normally walking from my desk at work, to the bus would take me a good 20 mins(before losing weight), and it would take that long, because i would have to stop and rest on the way.  Sit on the bench downstairs in my bldg, then sit on the bench outside the bldg, then sit and rest on the bench on the way to the bus… well now I can walk all the way without stopping once Well, today I timed myself…..7….count em, 7 minutes!  That is from the bus all the way to my building, into the building and to the 2nd floor of my office woohoo!

So last night I did the biggest loser for the wii, looks like I have my work cut out for me since I fell below the yellow line.. i was not elminated though, yay!! So i gotta step it up a notch or two! I guess the more you exercise as that character, the more weight she loses… and i hadnt been using BL for the wii much, only when i had training scheduled… was using wii fit plus on the other days… so now i guess i will do BL every day I don’t want to get eliminated afterall! hehe

Hope everyone is going to have an awesome weekend!  I am thinking of going shopping for some clothes tomorrow, i have absolutely NO sweaters, normally i am hot at work and wear tanktops, but for the past month every day i have been cold…although we are moving locations on Nov 2nd, so not sure what its like on the 1st floor…guess i will find out lol

Oh, another accomplishment is I exercise every day using wii fit plus, or my other games like that… i have been doing at least 60 mins, generally more… well when I first started this journey, i was doing 5 mins a day! And those 5 mins were tough! I am so proud

Who woulda thought playing video games would mean you get a good workout in??? Years ago I would have laughed had someone told me that I could get in exercise by playing video games!  Seriously, if you do not have a wii, i suggest you get one.. now! The best money I ever spent was when I decided to buy the wii, so I could get wii fit. Awesome… A-W-E-S-O-M-E awesome!

I now have wii fit plus as well, I was so excited, that i went out and bought it the day of my birthday.. i figured great birthday present to myself.  The next day however, I told someone I had bought it all excited like and her reaction? oooh noooo you didnt.. she bought me that as a gift lol.. sooo its all good though, i returned my copy and recieved it as my bday gift today Pretty cool.. it is exactly like the wii fit, plus more… sooo if you do not have wii fit yet..do NOT get both… just get wii fit plus, it has everything the wii fit has plus extra… I am not 100% sure though, but pretty sure.  Since i have the wii fit, it took all my info from the wii fit game and transferred it to wii fit plus.. so not sure what happens if you dont own wii fit lol

But anyways, seriously get a wii, well worth the 220 or however much it is! I also have the biggest loser for wii, that is pretty cool as well, and the person that got me wii fit plus also got me the jillian micheals for the wii as well.. so i am all set! I will be exercising everyday, i love my wii.

The wii gets 4 thumbs up from Megan!

Thought I would post some pictures of my progress. The following picture is a “before” and “after” shot, between the 2 pictures is a difference of 48.2 pounds.

This next picture is a recent picture taken on October 3, 2009 at my 35th birthday celebration. In this picture I have had a loss of 57 pounds. That morning I got my hair cut and had red highlights put in, I love it! I find I look pretty different in this picture than the one above…
