Scales are moving again!

Dec 05, 2007

I weighed myself Sunday and the scale showed 224. This morning it shows 221! WTF! I have been stuck at 224 for a while but so very glad it is moving. I have pictures I need to post. Life is wonderful. So much has happened. I have lost my insuranc and not certain what I am going to do. but we will see. I haven't been feeling the best. I am not one that complains often . My mother said once I won't go to  a doctor until I am near death. Which I have to admit is true! I don't like anyone messing with my mind body etc. I have been feeling a little weak . I have upped my protein and vitamins. Not certain how much longer I willbe without medical care. I pray not much longer.  I have been thinking about going back to school. Something has to change soon.

Hello Out There!

Nov 26, 2007

I have been so busy! I love saying that. Life changes when you lose over 100 pounds. I have slowed down in my lost.  I work out every day and feel great! That is my focus I want to lose 64 more lbs. I currently weigh 224. I wear size 14 /16. I were size large in regular sizes. I look much better feel so much better. I love getting attention from men. Nothing outragous just that extra glance when you pass by. I have so much energy! I run , play with my son. I can walk trails and hike now like never before. This is the best thing.

I am going through some things work related. There are people in this world that take out the lack of life on others. My grandmother used to say if you meet mean dishonest lying horriable people...follow them home they are miserable so they spread misery! 
I am keeping all of this to myself at this time. I pray that God allows THE TRUTH to show it self and not the lies people tell! Every one have a Blessed day.

Happy Birthday To ME!! Happy Birthday To ME!!!

Oct 15, 2007

Today is my Birthday. I am using this time to reflect. I have such a issue with sharing my inner thoughts with complete strangers....But not today....I have lived too long and gone through to much these past five years not to be honest...Through every negative thing depression, thoughts of suicide. I will not allow this current situation to get to me. I don't have insurance any longer . Thanks to a group of evil ,mediocre people. They are not the best nor the brightest bunch.  I will share this story only at it's conclusion. It is difficult and was so unnessary. The people that have committed this unnessary situation will pay. If not in this life , then in another. I know god will get me to a happy place. I  KNOW That life is worth Living. It is...

 I have pictures but still hate the way I look. This lose skin is killing me:)?I will put them up later....

I am going out with a close friend. I am celebrating over 100 lbs lostAnother year alive. Feeling 20 years younger. I have to go will update you soon....

When will I look like ME!

Oct 04, 2007

I have taken pictures recently. When I look at the images I don't know who I am looking at. It is amazing when you gain so much weight the changes your body and face can go through. I have lost 100 lbs and I am still swollen. I am not complaining mind you. Just shocked at how different I look. I have been surfing the site and reading stories of people that didn't get to their goals. They are a success because anything better than where we start is a great thing. But I want to reach my goal. I have come to realize I haven't been in this game long. April 10,2007 I had surgery. I have lost over 100 lbs with 80 lbs to go. WOW!! I am okay..I can and will do this. I will celebrate my birthday Oct 15. I will NOT GET ANY OLDER> I am going to hold on strong to 35!! (That is a lie but I am going to live it as long as I can. 
Sending
Much love and support to ALL

I am Losing BIG TIME!!!!

Gotta keep going!

Sep 06, 2007

I HAVE GOTTA KEEP GOING!!!
I have lost so much weight and I am thankful for that. I look at some that have lost 100 and they have completed their task. How did I allow myself to get so large!!! 

Okay, I had my moment! Over it.Things are going well. I am a point where I need a break. I am going to occupy my life with other things at this point. 
I am enjoying my newly found energy. I went to the park with my 2 year old and we ran and played. I was able to catch him, toss him in the air swing him by his feet. I think for the first time he was able to sit on my lap and not my stomach!!! I love taking a bubble bath again and having water around me instead of trying to roll over into it! I can cross my legs. I weight 243 lbs and I can get into size 16 pants instead of a 28 WOW!! I am having image issues. I never looked in a mirror before and felt so awful. Where did that come from. I look and think I have so much more to go! It can get the best of me sometimes. 

I said I had that moment right! MOVING ON! 

I am happy with my progress. I just want to get under 200 lbs. 

I am having this sick feeling when I eat. Like I want to vomit it up. It does matter what I eat. I never had any issues before and I guess when you really think about it this isn't that bad. It passes after some time. I have caught myself getting into the "bad habits" I bake for my son and will find myself nibbling. I am aware and now watch this. I have come too far to sabotage myself. Keep me in your prayers guys. Life is trying to test me. But I know I will get through this valley. (Can a get some ski's so I can get out faster:)!
Much Luv!

It is worth it!

Hello Everyone,
I am happy to be alive! I feel so much better. There are several things going on in my life right now that are bad! But I don't care. I am at such a peaceful happy place now. 

My weight loss has began again. Just last week I went in to a panic mode because I lost 74 lbs within the first 2 months and a total of 6 the second 2 months. I went back to the basics as many suggested. Protein, lots of water paid extra attention to exercise. I increased what I was doing( weights and cardio time.

My routine

3 days a week Upper and Lower Strength Training (better know as pumping iron)
 I increased my reps and added 10 extra ponds to what I was previously doing.  I decided to do upper and lower in 3 days instead of doing Upper one day , Lower the next. This allows me to get in other workouts on the remaining  days.
Everyday 7 days a week
Start time 5 AM or 6 AM 1hour Jog (depends on the morning)
 Cardio is the best!

Weekends I walk the trails ( I walk and enjoy the atmosphere for hours) I don't time myself. It is very relaxing and gives me a chance to reflect and clear my mind. Which may explain my state of peacefulness!

Everyday I complete 1 hour of something different
Bicycle
Treadmill
Aerobic Video
Fit TV (Wonderful)
ComCast On Demand Quick Work outs( I will get 3/ 20 mins workout and get busy) They also have 45-60 min work outs available so many you won't get bored and they change them every month or so.
They have everything from Belly Dancing to Strip Tease Workout's. (Okay some of us are undercover strippers!!) Did I tell you I am starting to feel Sexy again!

I start early to ensure nothing get's in the way.  I also get a lot of help from my daugther's( Twin's 21years) and my eldest son(18 years). I have a 2 and a half year old. My older children are committed to sitting with their little brother whenever I need them . 

I am about 13.4 ozs away from my 100 LBS Mark. I am so excited. I am resetting my goal. After talking to my Doctor and several friends we have determined I need to set my goal at about 160-165. The reason? Extra skin. I have the  dun lapped syndrome. Extra skin on my stomach. My arms are developing the bat wings , they aren't as bad so far. With that being said
I need to lose 81to 86 more lbs.

I want to get to 200 lbs and then kick in and lose the last 40 lbs. This morning the scale said 246.8. I never in my life thought that number would make me happy but when you start at 335 lbs.... 246.8 is wonderful. I know I have a ways to go but I can get there. I have to start my work out for today. I will return after I finish. I have so much to share normally I am short and sweet. Today I want to share. Later off to the gym!
 

What a Journey

Jul 03, 2007

Hello All,
I have lost 72 lbs! I am so close to my 100 LB mark . I haven't been working out as much as I should . Between baby and job and etc. it is getting tight. I called my daughters today and they are going to commit to taking their little brother in the PM when I get home from work so that I can exercise . I love those girls! After which I will take him to the park and that will keep my moving. So much is evolving know. Lost relationship new relationships, I am loving life and all options that are being presented. I feel like a new person. No more pain back, feet. I am starting to feel girly again. Best wishes to all. take care until next time.
