Where is the time going? Seriously?  I have now had this site up for almost 4 months!  Seems like I just put it up.

Yesterday was weighin day and I was not happy, so much so i wanted to throw the scale out the window lol It wasn’t THAT much of a gain, just when you see a 2 one week and then a 3 the next, makes you wanna scream.  Especially when I was 299 in mid Dec and now i am 300, I coulda lost a good 10 pounds since then… ooooh well…

So was pretty down and lacking of motivation, until I watched this weeks episode of the biggest loser.  OMG, sooo motivating, this episode was probably the most motivating episode i have seen.  The beginning of the season, everyone competed to be on the ranch, but the last 2 teams finishing the competition were sent home.  They were still in the game though, continuing at home and after 30 days they will come back to the ranch and whicheve team loses the most % of weight get to come on the ranch and play the game..

So, the 30 day mark was last nights episode.  So, they did it all at home, no ranch or anything and one person in one month lost 51 pounds!!! Another 39, another 25 and another 24!  So that was pretty motivating, I was like if she can lose 39 pounds in a month, surely i can lose a quarter of that!!! (9.7)

So, next week, I will be posting a loss, so stay tuned!!!

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!

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

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 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!

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 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.

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

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!
