Ready for the holidays to end

So even though I only have 23 pounds to go, I'm having trouble staying motivated to get it done. Every time I see a friend from high school who has lost all their weight I get jealous and discouraged. I always seem to forget that I have made amazing progress and just need to stick with it. My diet has been screwed up ever since I went home for the holidays, I have got to fix it before I go home again and when I do I need to stick with my diet while I'm at home. Gonna drop my calories down really low, probably lower than I should which isn't healthy, but at this point I'm willing to try anything. Current weight: 143

good news

So I'm super excited I had to go buy a new pair of jeans yesterday because mine were falling off of me and I am now in a size 10 yay!!!! Only have 23 pounds and a few pant sizes until I reach my ultimate goal I cannot wait. The holidays are screwing me up a bit but haven't gained anything, but also haven't lost any but that will change when I get back to Colorado in a few days. At least until I come back to my families for Christmas.

New Healthy Start

Ok here lately I have been going about this weight loss thing in the wrong way, I know its wrong because it isnt healthy and plus any weight I lose I gain back soon after.

I have been trying to starve myself and yes it does make me lose weight, but also makes me sick and I feel horrible.  I'm not going to say that it didnt make me lose weight because that would be a lie, but i always seem to end up binge eating soon after i lose the weight because im starving.  So therefore all that weight i just lost comes right back and just ends up depressing me.

So New Plan:

1. Eat healthy, smaller(a lot smaller) portions
2. Eat less meat
3. Drink nothing but water and green tea(proven to help with weight loss)
4. Absolutely NO junk food
5. No eating before 9 am and no eating after 8 pm
6. Work out everyday at 6 am, until im too tired to continue
7. Stop thinking that this weight will come off overnight, because thats impossible
8. Keep a food journal, to know what i need to cut out of my diet
9. No eating out
10. Try a body detox, to help cleanse body
11. Drink a full glass of water before each meal to fill self up

back to it

Ok I've slacked way to much lately and it's time to get busy, I need to lose 4 lbs by Friday September 30 to be back on track, it was 6 lbs but I lost those 2 lbs already since yesterday. So I'm pretty sure I can do it. I've got some new workout plans that I've been trying and I am re-motivated with a new goal plan, I know I can do this. And luckily my new plan only includes Monday thru Friday, so no working out on weekends unless I just feel like it and no dieting on weekends just portion control :) I love it!!!!! Oh and I can wear size 10 jeans :) Current weight: 144 Goal for this week: 140 Complete goal: 108

Woo Hoo!!!!

Its 3 days away from the end of the month and I've already reached my goal. I'm also fitting into my size 11 jeans that I wore right agree having my daughter. Yay!!!! Gonna try to lose at least one more pound before the end of the month. Current weight 145 To lose this year 20 lbs

size 12!!!!

Ok although I have been slacking on my diet lately, I'm back in full force starting today! This past weekend I went shopping at old navy because I knew they were having their $15 jeans sale and I'm so excited to say that I now wear a size 12 instead of a 14, I know I know it's just one size as I'm sure you are thinking. BUT I don't care it still makes me feel better knowing that I do fit in a size smaller that just means I'm on the right track. Only 22 lbs until my goal if 125 this year, I didn't even realize but being at that weight will mean I am at a healthy BMI and weight for my size, so that's good news. I may not be obese but I know I'm overweight for my size, and I know I can fix that!! Going to start only taking in 1,150 calories a day, it's supposed to be 1,175 but I figured if I cut back a little more the weight will come off a little bit faster. And I'm going to start keeping a food journal to make sure I stick to that goal. Oh and gonna go back to my no pop rule, I've been breaking it bad lately plus not taking my diet pills, which is why my weight has been stuck for awhile. Current weight: 147 Goal for year: 125 To lose this year: 22 lbs Im supposed to be at 145 by end of august so that's what I'm currently working towards, it's only 2 lbs so I know I can make it happen :) only have a week to do it so I'll be working extra hard.

sigh....

So even though I've finally gotten down to 147, I'm not satisfied the weight is just not coming off as fast as I would like it too. I lost about 5 or 6 inches using my wraps so far but it's high up on my stomach and not down around my hips, which means I can't fit into my size 11 jeans like I was hoping I could I mean I can get them on and zipped but they do not look good at all. Just gonna have to keep my head up and know that someday it will happen and I will reach my final goal. If only I could make it happen a lot sooner.

1st wrap results

Before wrap: 37 inches After 45 minutes: 36 inches After 24 hours: 33 inches After 72 hours: I'm actually starting to see the difference I couldnt by just looking in the mirror, probably because I hate to. But I looked at two pictures one from today and one from the day before I used the wrap and there's a huge difference I'll post pictures after my second wrap.

yesterdays weigh in

After having my family here this past weekend I did not lose any weight, thankfully I didnt gain any either. Current weight 149 Also got my wraps in yesterday lost an inch after the 45 minutes. Hoping to see better results than last time since I'm also using the defining gel in between wraps. I have four to use but will only use two before my visit home and the other two when I get back. Will keep an update of my results.

family visit

So my family just left this morning, they have been here since Wednesday afternoon. I havent lost any weight since they have been here, but that's to all the running around and walking I haven't gained any either. I'm so proud of myself because the last time we had visitors at the house I gained 3 pounds. And now that they are gone, I'm going back to my strict diet. So by the end of this month I should be down to my goal of 145. Current weight:149

4lbs to go

So I've only got 4 lbs to go to reach my next goal of 145 lbs by the end of august. I'm thinking this goal will be reached much sooner than I thought. I also have some other goals for myself that I made in the beginning of my weight loss, most of them are the same but according to it I only have two lbs to reach my goal of 147. I won't be posting much about those unless they are the same because I'm not really using them anymore. Current weight:149

ordered my wraps

Yay I'm so excited I just ordered 4 wraps, defining gel and a cleanser from ItWorks. Can't wait for them to come in after the 5 1/2 inches I lost last time with just one wrap I'm pretty excited to see how much I can lose with four wraps, I'll be posting updates of my progress. I'll use a wrap every 72 hours and have my progress recorded for each one :) If you have never tried this product you should, they are amazing.

my full weight loss goals

So I already posted some goals but those were just for this year, here is the full list of goals. By the end of each month I need to be at the weight I post next to it, once the end of that month comes I will post what my actual weight is. I will also post the dates that I reach each goal, I only have 7 lbs to lose to reach my august goal and I'm going to try to accomplish that by the end of July. Starting weight-157 Current weight-151 Goal weight-107 Current size-12/13 Goal size-3/4 Weight Goals: August-145 Actual- October-135 Actual- December-125 Actual- February-117 Actual- April-107 Actual- Size Goals: August-10/11 Actual- October-9/10 Actual- December-7/8 Actual- February-5/6 Actual- April-3/4 Actual-

weigh in july 12th

My current weight is 152, so I lost a pound since yesterday, sucks that I have already hit this milestone once but at least I know that even if I gain the weight back I can work my ass off to lose it. But I don't plan on it coming back, from now on when I have guests or when I go home to visit I plan to stick to my everyday routine.

my vacation home

So I went home for a week and just got back yesterday, I hate to say it but I gained four pounds during the week. I knew eating out so much and not working out or taking my diet pills was going to come back and haunt me, but that's ok it just means I have to work out twice as hard, drink only water again and get back to my diet. I am glad to say that since being home yesterday and getting things back on track I have already lost 2 of those pesky 4lbs. May sound impossible, even I think so but the scale does not lie. I also lost 2 1/2 inches after using an ITWorks wrap, I will definitely be buying more of those and the defining gel as soon as I get the money. The wrap results were after just 45 minutes, I will be checking my waist size again tonight to see my 24 hour results and tomorrow for my 72 hour results not sure they will be different since I don't have the gel but I'll still post them on here. Wrap results: Started at 42 inches After 45 min- 39 After 24 hrs- 37 1/2 After 72 hrs-37 Lost a total of 5 1/2 inches, can't wait to try some more wraps :)

My Cheat Week

So I have been at home visiting family all week and dont leave here til Sunday. So of course that means I haven't been following my diet at all and Tuesday is my weigh in day, which really has me worried that I will have gained weight. And if I have then I know I'll have to work extra hard to lose the weight again by the end of next week. It is my goal to make at least a 1 pound loss every week I would like more of course but the minimum is one pound every week. I will be using an ITWorks wrap on either Sunday or if I'm to tired after being on planes that day to mess with it then I'll use it monday. So we will see if that helps me any and if it does I'm sure I'll be buying them like crazy to rid myself of this fat sooner. Ill let you know how well the wrap works and will even post pictures of my results and yes I'll show my face so you will know it really is me.

pretty excited

I was pretty sad on Tuesday when I dud my weigh in and had gained three pounds well today I just felt like I needed to weigh myself again and guess what I list 4 lbs. So proud of myself I now only have 26 lbs to reach this years goal which is to get to 125, the rest of the weight I had planned to lose next year looks like I might be able to do it all this year. Current weight: 151

Weigh in day

So today it was time to hop on the scale to see how I'm progressing, unfortunately I had a little setback I realized instead of losing any weight I gained three pounds!!! But that's ok I'll work it off and get back on track. I think the visit from my mom and aunt kinda set me back because I decided it wouldn't hurt for me to drink pop while they were here, apparently that plus all the eating out we did from being on the go the whole time did very bad things for me :( So time to get busy again. For all you out there dealing with these same issues Good Luck and you can do it, no matter what anyone else says. Current weight after 3 lbs gained is 155.
