My how things have changed.

Mar 17, 2010

Im at 142. Im trying not to lose more, and its still melting away.
I never wanted to be super skinny. I can be in the low 120's and still be healthy. But for me, I wanna stay in the 140's or high 130's. So Im trying to eat more. Its more of a struggle to maintain weight than it has been to lose it. I forget to eat, because Im just not hungry. So, I have been putting much more effort in. Because I know, Im still gonna lose, and hopefully, I can at least slow it down. I lost all my weight in 6 months. And tho, I take my vitamins..99 percent of the time.. There are some days, that I just forget! I put a reminder in my phone, and that has helped.. I just dont wanna be skin and bones. That isnt healthy to me. Im also 5 7.. So Im a lil tall :)
My body was just ready to be thin. It embraced losing the weight. Now, Im working on toning up, and that burns calories too..so gotta get those healthy foods in!

Wanna eat more, but eat good stuff! I know eventually I will be able to eat more, and I want to keep my good habits. Im perfectly happy eating my SF stuff. When I do have a craving, they definetly satisfy me. Now, that I got all the real sugar out of my system, I really dont get too many cravings anyway!

84lbs gone!

Jan 18, 2010

Hi everyone! What a ride it has been! Im down 84lbs! Im pretty darn close to my goal too. Im at 171 as of today. and my goal is 145. My height is 5'7.. SO I think that will be ok, but I will see what I look like at that point, and see what Doc says. I fit into size 9 jeans over the weekend. I tried them after my 11/12's were too big! It was awesome!

I must say, now that I dont have to shop in plus size, buying undies and lingerie is soo much funner...so many more choices! I have only bought a few things to make it thru, cant see wasting too much money when Im still losing! lol..

Exercise is an on off thing. I broke my tailbone last month, and have random cysts growing on my lower back. I had a MRI and Dr says its fat necrosis. A bunch of dying fat cells. I was surprised to hear this, as they are hard as bone. Last week I had 2 of them, but since Thursday, another one developed. Its very annpying, and painful. I kinda feel Doc is giving me the brush off! He says wait 4-5 months to see if they go away.. ::sigh:: But, Idid call today and tell them another is there, and that they r painful! If he wants me to wait, I truly need something to help w pain!

Happy Holidays!

Dec 22, 2009

Im super excited to tell you all that I hit 189 today. So awesome. My goal was to be under 200 by the new year, and I made it and then some! It feels great to see the scale moving..

I broke my tailbone last week by falling down the stairs, so no working out for me :( I just wanna tone up as much as I can.. And be as healthy as I can! Ive been blessed by this tool, and I intend to utilize it.

Thinking I may work on my arms at this time, try to tone em up.. :) I feel great!

Happy Holidays! And Im so happy to start a new healthy ME in 2011!

A lil over 6 weeks out

Dec 04, 2009

And I am doing great. Im under 200 already. I havent been under 200 since I was a teenager. I am soo happy with that! Of course I hot 199 earlier in the week, and have been stuck there, But Id rather be stuck there, that at 200. I havent weighed today, but Im pretty sure I made 198..lol

I need to post after pics! I know I know! And I will, I promise! Gimme a few days! Im blonde again, so my icon pic doesnt even look like me..lmao. And I do have a better before pic, that shows me at my highest. And Im gonna see if I can get it on here. I dont have a scanner, but maybe I can take a pic of it, and see if it will post.. lol.

I got rid of my big clothes, I gave em to my sis in law. Im fitting in 14's and L-XL shirts now.

Another thing, I can cross my legs better, and I seem more flexible..lmao.

Now for the bad part of my life. Christmas. I have no damn money to get my kids anything. You see, I dont work. I used to work. I was an optician. But my daughter Isabella was a preemie weighing in at 1.6lbs and 12 inches. She was really sick. She spent her first 8 months in the NICU. And now I stay home with her. She is fed thru a tube at times, and needs me here. She is eating alot by herself now, and is doing good, but I still wouldnt put her in daycare. She does get SSI money, and it goes to bills. So I am depressed about that. Luckily Isabella and Violet are young, and they wont know the difference, but, my older kids do. :( Gonna do what I can, and its not much.
Im gonna be thankful that I even have Isabella. Her twin died when he was 4 days old. So Im just gonna focus on the fact that shes even here. I couldnt imagine life without her.

Happy Thoughts..

scale is a movin'

Nov 07, 2009

So glad my scale is moving again. I stopped eating mashed potatoes. I was eating 1/2 cup a day. It was so comforting, but, not enough protein anyway, so I stopped..lol

Feeling Better

Oct 28, 2009

My pain is thankfully subsiding, and I am feeling  better by the day. My eating is good. Im on purees now. I havent had any nausea or vomiting. And I am happy and counting my blessings on that. My meals consist of ricotta, or refired beans. I may have an egg later, and see how that sits. Been good on getting my fluids in :) Im so glad that my pain is subsiding. I cant wait till I can hit my exercise bike!

Went to the Doc

Oct 23, 2009

Im feeling much better after my trip to the Dr, so far anyway! He removed the staples around where my pain is, and I think the muscle that was bothering me, is finding its place and starting to relax.. Keep your fingers crossed for me, Its lovely not to be in agony. I see him again Monday. If Im in that pain again, he will go in, and loosen some stitching in that area, but Im hoping its not gonna happen!

He did give me a shot of numbing medicine in that area, and its been 3 hours, I think it has worn off.. I feel soreness, and nothing like it felt before.. I will keep you all posted..
No one ever said this journey would be easy, and Im soo glad to have all you guys supporting me!
