Current Weight...

I decided to weigh today and I currently weigh 140.4!  It's amazing how much cutting out fast food has done in just a matter of weeks.  Here's hoping for a 139.9 or less next week so I can officially be back in the 130s! :)

XOXO,

Weigh-in

I haven't weighed in in awhile because I choose to avoid the scale at all costs since I used to obsess about it daily--weighing 10-50 times a day. I knew I gained weight over the holidays despite all my workouts.  This is of course because you can eat your way through any exercise program.  We had gotten lazy and were eating out several times a week (3-5 times).  I last weighed sometime in January and weighed 145.  I was relieved I hadn't gained more than 5 pounds in our unhealthy eating habits and set my sights on Lent as a time to fix the dietary problems.  I actually started making changes a little before Lent but Lent is when I officially gave up fast food.  It's been 10 days since I ate fast food and I'm happy to report that this morning I weighed in at 141.2.  I am excited to be back on track and to feel healthier.  While I'm not going to say that I will never have fast food again, my hope and goal is that Lent will put us back into a healthier pattern.  We used to have fast food once a week and eat out an additional time over the weekend.  I don't want us to exceed that.  We can't allow ourselves to get lazy just because we are tired after work.  

I'm hoping to be 139 again soon--I just LOVE being able to say I'm in the 130s, even if barely! :)

XOXO,

July 2011 Weigh-In

Most Recent Weigh-in

I am really proud to say that before today, I don't know when I last stepped on a scale.  I was becoming too chummy with the scale--translation, I would think about it more and want to weigh more than once a week--so I decided to ditch it.  Today I was nervous knowing that I'd have to weigh at the doctor.  Common sense had already told me I hadn't gained weight because my clothes still fit the exact same; however, having been inconsistent with my workouts and having eaten out a lot recently, I wasn't sure the scale would be my friend.  BUT it was!  Despite slacking off on my workouts and eating out more than normal, I still weigh 141!

Talk about relief! :)

XOXO,

Weekly Weigh-in 2/26/11

Hello old Friend!

I just weighed in for the week and I've seen an old friend, the 130s!  I have not been trying to lose weight--I had Taco Diner, Chuy's twice, McDonald's and various deserts (including Girl Scout Cookies) in the last week and have only worked out twice--but I have been making sure I don't over-eat and I have been listenng to my body to know when I'm actually full.  I am in shock that I've lost .9 this week.  Regardless, I am so excited to be in the 130s!

I even wore my skinny jeans once this week :)!

Weekly Weigh-in 2/18/11

I weighed-in today and weigh 140.7.  No complaints here!

I'm actually shocked I did not gain some temporary pounds as I had Taco Bueno, McDonald's and a lot of yummy sweets this week!

Weekly Weigh-in

I weighed in this morning and am currently 141.2!  I can't believe I actually lost weight this week despite the fact that I've had 4 awesome workouts.  I have eaten McDonald's twice and Taco Bueno so losing .8 was a shocker.

Side note: I am not trying to lose weight right now, just toning/burning up some extra fat if possible, but I certainly wouldn't mind being 139 so that I can say I'm in the 130s instead of 140s :).

Friday Weigh-in, Kailee's first birthday!

I weighed-in this morning and I weigh... 147.1!!!!  That means I should definitely be 145 (or less) on my birthday!!!!  I should definitely fit in my favorite jeans by then!  Woohoo!!!!

July 25, 2010

Just did my workout!  I had to tweak some of the exercises for my toe but that's okay.  I weighed today and I weigh 149 flat!  After the vacation I had, that's pretty good.  Hoping for 148 on Friday!  If I lose a pound a week, I will be 145 on my birthday.  Fingers crossed!

I guess I never updated

I did finish the 30 day shred 2 Sundays ago.  My final weight after was 152.7 I think.  So after 30 workouts, I lost at least 5 pounds and 3 inches.  I then took over a week off from working out (figured I kinda deserved a break).

I weighed the other day and weighed 151.4 after taking a week off from working out.
Since then, I've begun doing No more Trouble Zones (another Jillian Michaels DVD).  This workout has 7 circuits combining abs and strength and some cardio.  On Tuesday, I made it through 3 circuits; today I made it through 4!  So that's progress.  I 100% believe I would not be able to do even that much if not for my dedication to the 30 day shred.

Oh and on a side note, I am squeezing in to a size 10 now and size 12 is definitely too big!  My favorite size 10 jeans still do not fit but they are a small 10 (closer to a size 8).

Off to the shower!

Weekly weigh in a day early

I decided to weigh today so that Gavin and I can get Chick-fil-a tonight (Brady's headed out of town for a couple of days) and I weigh 152.7!  That's 2 pounds in a week, which is crazy!  I think that really shows how much harder level 2 works you than level 1!

Weekly Weigh in

I lost .5 pound so I'm now 154.7.  I figured it would only be a small loss this week since last week was such a big loss.

I didn't lose any inches this week, still at 37 around largest part of belly.

Stats Wednesday, May 12th

Weight: 155.1 (that's 2.2 pound loss in a week--though I weighed at night last week so I probably didn't quite lose 2.2)

Inches around widest point: 37 (started out at 40 around Christmas so that's a definite improvement!)

Big FAT disappointment

So after a month of dieting and working out.  I weigh 158.2.  Which means, I haven't lost at all.  I tried on the jeans that were tight on April 1st... guess what, I still can't wear them.  By the way, those are size 12 jeans so that means I'm still on the tight end of size 12.  Which means what's the point of all of this hard work when it's not working????

I don't know what to do.  I've been trying since December to lose weight.  First I started exercising, then dieting, and drinking water.... And to what end?  To not lose anything??????

I am soooooooooooooooooo upset.  How can I stay motivated if there's no improvement?  Why is my body refusing to lose weight?  After Gavin, I ate what I wanted, didn't exercise hardly at all and by this point I was in ALL of my old clothes.  I also gained a lot more with his pregnancy.  I have been stuck from 158-165 since DECEMBER.  Why hasn't ANY MORE weight come off????  This does not make sense.  I'm only 27, my metabolism should not be at a standstill yet.

I am going to spend another summer fat.  The WORST summer of my life was the summer before I turned 21.  I remember being sooooooooooo miserable because I hated my body.  I'm there again and I weigh 8 pounds more than I did that summer.  I can't wear shorts (partially because I'm not going to spend money on big shorts) and I refuse to go out in a swimsuit like this.  God, this sucks!

All I want is to be back in my clothes before Kailee turns 1.  Most people don't take that long to lose the weight without even trying.  I am trying so unbelievably hard and it's not happening.  Since having Kailee the least I've weighed is 157.  I really thought I'd weigh at the most 155 today--that was me trying to set a realistic goal so that if I did better, it would be a nice surprise.  What a HUGE disappointment.

I could not wait for May 1st.  I kept pushing for today all month.  Every time I thought about stopping, I kept thinking, it will be worth it on May 1st.  And I was wrong.

Just weighed

And I weigh 158.4 which means I've officially lost 8.2 pounds!!!!  That's awesome.  My clothes are only slightly looser but that's headed in the right direction.  I'm so excited!

Today I will be finishing week 4 and I'm even more motivated to stick with the program!!!!
