154!!! finally.. took more then  a month to lose that 5lbs. but i hear the slower it comes off.. the better???

 My last blog was at a bad time, i was not doing well.. and clearly still have the issue.. but what can i do about it.. dream vacation is in 6 days!!!! i need to just be postive.. i have done a great job.. gonna set my next mini goal at another 5lb down… maybe by this time next month i will be out of the 150’s…

Here is to me staying on track! i do plan on working out every day on the boat during vacation…

i am so sad, my dream vacation is in TEN DAYS!!!! and even though i have went from a size 20 to a size 8-10 in the last 18 months or so… the bathing suits and shorts are killing me, the size is good BUT i have TONS of flappy floppy skin around my thighs, inner legs are very nasty.. so here i finally thought i would nto have to pass on the swimming, and all the FUN stuff because i hated the way i looked i now have this NASTY HANGING FLOPPY FOLDY SKIN!!!! i have tried so hard.. i dont know how to get rid of that skin, and i am VERY uncomfortable about it.. WHY ???!!!??? Why do i care… isnt the loss good enough, NO… i FEEL and THINK i still look nasty, even worse with the skin.. i have went from 243 to 155.. i should be happy.. i have done so good.. but what about this skin… i REALLY wanted to go and have fun and not be worried about my body.. Wishful thinking i guess.. :(     :(     

this morning… i will meet my third mini goal in the next week..  Vacation is 20 days away!!!!

Hello everyone..  I have been so busy lately but have not stopped working hard.. I am down to 156 this morning, First I am in awe by the number, but I have soooooooo much skin around my hips just hanging there that it makes me sad, not sure how to get rid of that.. But in the last 16 months I have lost over 80 lbs and over 42 inches (as of 5/4) and have went from size 20 to size 10!  All of my hard work has paid off.. Not that I am done yet, I am 2 lbs away from my THIRD mini goal, and a total of SIXTEEN lbs away from my org. goal..  My vacation is in 21 days… I want my husband to think I am beautiful.. He has been saying that more lately..   Just got to keep at it….

anyone know anything about yoga?? I need a crash course.. i want to learn everything i can, i think it will help me with stress, i am always soooooooooo stressed! 

Figured i would just make it a few pounds…  I got to say that the last few days have been great, working out is much easier, and i can do it for longer.. and i actaully WANT to do it.. Turning down cake at the lunch yesterday was not even hard! (i didnt really care for that kind.. so i know that made it easier)

Got on the scale this morning and it was a full pound lighter then yesterday.. 157.8 i worked my butt off yesterday… But i am always scared of the scale..

 Tomororw i have to big meals OUT… Going to very nice place for lunch with a co worker her treat… and then for dinner the cheesecake factory with the girl scout moms.. I love cheese cake UGH!  Tonight its going to be long, with 4 kids and many things going on.. girlscouts, baseball game, martial arts, my husband is in class….  

Hope i stay strong… And on track!  Vacation is just 44 days away!

So i got on the scale this morning and it said 158.8 !!!!!!!!! That puts me at my 2nd mini goal of 159!!! I am sooooooooooo happy!!!!  It takes much longer it seems to come off (the weight that is..)  the more i loose.. But it is worth it and i feel so much better!  Cant wait to get to the gym tonight..

Hang in there Buddies! We CAN do this!!!

Got to the gym last night.. Thank goodness..  45 days until my vacation… 

My body does feel better and I know that I am gaining muscle.. So maybe that is why I can not seem to break the 160 mark.. But I am thinking that I should not care as much what the number is, and its more about how I feel, and look.. Like today for example.. I am sitting here at work typing this wearing a pair of size 10 pants.. (crazy how some size 10’s are way tooo tight and these are a little big..)  Either way.. Its size 10 and that makes me happy.. I know most of my size 12’s are to big, yesterday I wore my fav size 11 (not sure why they are 11.) But they are toooooooo big.. i bagged them up this morning.. I had to keep pulling my pants up all day.. So even if the number is giving my trouble at least i know my hard work is for something.. 

Here is to a great weeK!                I love this site, i find it great for motivation.. I am always looking for new buddies to share this battle with…

Well I am not sure what to think… Let me start by saying I HATE THE DAMN SCALE! WTH!!!! 

I have worked my ass off for the last few weeks, and I do not get it, one day I will be 163 one day I will be 160  then back to 162 or something, feels like I have gained and lost this same 3 lbs every week.. I don’t get it!  

I know that my size 12’s that were getting tight this time last month are now loose… And I can see it in my face, that I look thinner, but what the hell is up with the damn scale? I always try to only weigh on Monday’s   Well this past Saturday I get on the scale and it said 160.8 I was so happy to be away from the damn 163… Monday get on the scale and it said 162 or something I was like OMG! Seriously?  So this Monday I swore I would not weigh until Monday again, but this morning I seen the scale ( I use it and then put it up in the top of the closet) So I figured what the hell I have had a good week, let me get on there, well it said like 163.6 I really through the scale, I was so mad.. This damn rut that I am is  killing me, I think I should just throw away the scale and don’t worry about it.. Just keep working, I will measure again this weekend.. I know that it is possible to get smaller without the scale moving, but my scale jumps all around and I am sooooooooooooo over it!   Its so hard once you have lost a lot of weight to get past the stalling point.. I have stalled.. vacation is in 49 days!!!!   I am sick of being sad, knowing that I am trying so hard.. I do NOT eat junk..
