162.6

Not as good as I would have liked to lose this week but I did lose 1.6 lbs. I went to the gym 5 times this week so I really thought it would be more substantial than that but I'll still take it as a small step down. I actually like running now. I ran for thirty minutes without stopping which amounted to 2.5 miles. Felt great. Life has been hectic for me. Finals are next week and I am so behind. My house is still a mess but I'll work on it this weekend. I hope next week I'll atleast lose 2 lbs. I would be so happy.

164.2

Things have been good. i have just been busy with all the holidays and celebrations. I gained for the first time and it really didn't upset me much because i knew it would keep me motivated throughout the thanksgiving week. It did too. I lost 2.4 this week and feel like a million bucks. Clothes don't fit me and everyone is noticing my weight loss. The biggest change is in the guys that have been flirting with me. I never had that at 180 + pounds. I'm getting there. Mentally I know things have to change. I am so lazy, my house is a mess, my kid needs a bath more than once every three days. I need to find a balance and not just with my weight. I'm such a negative sad person. It's not ok anymore! I'm going to go through my house and throw everything away that isn't necessary. I'm going to bathe my poor daughter, and her and I ...we are going to go out and do more things together.
on a different note; I have been lifting weights at the gym and running afterwords. I love it and I hope I continue to love it. i'm aiming for just 3 days a week. Kelcy and I have a bike now and I am going to start riding her around the neighborhood. Great fun!

down to 166.4!

I haven't been down to this weight in two years. I don't feel like I've lost weight yet but I keep trucking. I bought a new outfit yesterday that is a size 12 pants and actually fits me. The shirt was a small but i don't see how that size fit. Usually I would be in a larger size due to my bust. As soon as i put the outfit on people started noticing my weight loss. My daughter's daycare was the first to say "my goodness are you losing weight?" it's a very good feeling. My aunt noticed as well as her friend. My cousin told me I look awesome. I'm loving it! I knew I could do this I just had to try harder. My newest obsession is eating at Applebees because they have yummy weight watcher friendly meals. Also light popcorn with a tablespoon of chocolate chips thrown in....I didn't have any clue what I could actually eat! oh and on a side note....Yesterday I was officially accepted into California State University, Chico!

I'm 169.6

Time is flying and I am realizing that this is working. I don't have to deprive myself! So foreign to lose weight and do it when I don't feel like I'm ever hungry. I didn't know it was possible. I am now a size 14 but they are very lose so we will see. I can't wait for the moment i fit into a size 10. Nobody has noticed yet but I'm not focusing on that. This time is different. I'm not doing this to impress a man or to find a man. I'm doing this to look and feel better. Not to sound Cheesy but Weight Watchers is saving my life moment by moment step by step.

172.6 good enough!

so I lost 1.2 lbs for my second week. Surprisingly enough...I'm not disappointed by that number. A loss is a loss. I could be gaining 1.2 lbs but no....I lost 1.2 lbs. On to week three!

weigh in #1

i'm down 6.2 lbs. Now that feels nice to say! i may actually be able to do this program and stick with it. I don't feel like I've been dieting at all. So strange. I encourage anyone having trouble losing weight to give weight watchers a shot. I'm hoping for a two pound loss next week but i'll try and be happy with any loss i can get.

weight watchers on 10/08/2009

So I finally decided I can't do it alone. on 10/08/2009 I officially joined weight watchers. I paid for two months so I better use it right? I am amazed at how easy it is for me to track everything. It's what I was dreading but so far so good. I replaced everything in my cupboards and fridge with fat free or light. Maybe the taste will become second nature, and maybe not! I put a cute little fruit bowl on the counter with oranges, apples, and bananas. Yesterday my sister ordered chinese food and ate right in front of me. I got out my apple, and my orange and ate them both so that I wouldn't have that hungry feeling while sitting there watching her eat. Man it looked good. But i was good. my weigh in with WW is this Thursday. They weighed me in at 180.2. I had heavy clothes on but still MAN :( I was sad.

Kelcy is finally done teething which marks the end of her babydom. She's two now. She is completely potty trained. She talks in sentences where did my baby go? She's been replaced by a two year old monster/heathen/barbarian/angel. She's still my life and probably always will be.
