Well hello there!!  It's been so long since I've checked in on here, but I don't know that anyone has missed me...hahaha.  I've put on a little weight, so I've joined Weight Watchers and the local gym.  I'm getting married in June so I've gotta get this extra weight off.  I've LOVE to get down to 120.  Currently I'm at about 181.  I have to weigh in weekly for Weight Watchers, which can be kinda frustrating because I've been working out, and I know muscle weighs more than fat.  So Monday I took my measurement to start checking that way.  I've also begun running this week.  I'm doing a program called Couch to 5K.  If you've never heard of it and want to start running, Google it.  I downloaded a podcast for it which actually tells me when to run and when to walk.   Makes it really nice.  I NEVER thought I'd be able to run.  By week 9 I should be able to run for a straight 30 minutes.  I'm pretty excited about that! :)  I also signed up for a Cancer Walk, but it's not until October.  I hope to be at goal by then.  I wanted to do something to contribute to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, as I lost my Dad to leukemia when I was 10, so this one's for him!!  Go Team Tom Israel!!

Since I rock and rolled...
HA! Kidding!! I haven't posted on here in a very long while. I'm doin' well for the most part. I have put on a little weight. I'm aiming to lose about 50 lbs. I'm on day 5 of the 5 day pouch test, so far I've lost 6 lbs...so I guess I really wanna lose 44 lbs...woohoo.
I've begun doing my TaeBo again. Still working on the 30 minute workout...pretty soon I'll get to the hour long workout.
I've noticed old habits creeping back, like grazing, especially when I'm bored...so I'm trying to put a cap on that. It's a struggle every day, that's for sure. Anyone who thinks this journey is an easy way out, I hate to burst your bubble...IT'S NOT!! This is, by far, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
I wish you all the best of luck!!

Whitney

Hello all.  I hope this finds you doing as well as I am!!  I feel fantastic.  Well, not so hot today, but otherwise...  Just didn't feel very good today.  I got on the scale and found I was down 5 lbs since the last time I weighed myself.  Wow!  I wondered why my pants seemed so baggy today.  I thought I was pretty much where I was gonna stay...guess not.  Oh well, that's fine.  I still have about 16 more lbs to lose to get to my personal goal weight anyway, so...  That puts me down 129 lbs.  So I now weight 141.  My BMI is, I think, 2 points away from being normal. WOOO!!  

Work has been super crazy.  Lots of pneumonia patients and such.  It's actually slowed down here recently though which is good.  I'm just workin' on finishing up my laundry and then I'll probably go to bed.

Well, glad ya came to check up on me! Take care!!

Don't forget to set back your clocks an hour before you go to bed...well, if you observe DST.

Wow...I think it may be time for an update. Let's see...I'm down 114 lbs now. Not too shabby I think. I've got roughly 30 more lbs to my personal goal. I feel terrific. I've moved out of my Mom's and in with my boyfriend, Tony. He's really a great guy. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this guy. Truely. He's stellar, and I love him lots! I couldn't be more pleased with things in my life right now. I got trained for a new position at my job. I'm still a nursing assistant one day a week, and now I'm the unit secretary two days a week. I have great things goin' on with me, and I couldn't be more excited to see where life takes me. Sorry I've been away so long, just been busy with life, ya know. It happens!! FINALLY!

Well I finally made it to Onederland!!  198 lbs!!  I couldn't be more thrilled.  I also have a new beau in my life.  Which also make me ecstatic.  I'm really feeling great. Things just continue to get better day by day.  I'm still working out as well.  Really, that's about all that's new with me.  Have a wonderful day!

Well hello again!!  Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive.  I went to see Dr. D last Thursday, and he said I was ahead of schedule.  YAAAAAAAY!!  He said he'd like to see me at about 130 or 140.  Personally, I'm aiming for about 125.  I'm short.  I can pull it off.  I'm feeling great.  My 18 jeans are already starting to get a bit baggy on me.  I'm thrilled.  Only 4 more lbs and I'll be in Onederland!!  I can hardly wait.  Hopefully I'll be there this weekend!  Well, have a great day ya'all!!

So today I thought I'd just go try on my old jeans that I haven't been able to get into in a loooooooooooong time...Guess what!! I got them on!!
At the beginning of all this fatness, I was in a size 26. The jeans I got into were an 18! Can you believe it!? I know, me either. I wouldn't be comfortable wearing them out yet, as I still have the muffin top, but just the fact that I got them on and zipped AND buttoned is a huge accomplishment. I just find it so weird to think that one day I'm going to be thin. I'm just still so blown away that something is actually working for me. Ahhhhh...my first public WOW moment. I'm so excited!!

Well hello there faithful readers!! Hope everyone's doin' great! I'm doin' wonderfully. Still no problems to report. About three weeks ago I started working out at Excel in Anderson. I love that gym. I had a body comp done when I first started. I had 44% body fat. They like it to be in the 20's. I'm on my way. The trainer wanted me to lose 1 - 2 lbs in the next six weeks...I just laughed. I was like, dude, I can do that WITHOUT exercise. He says, well lets up the ante, make it 3 - 4 lbs a week then. Soooo that's what I'm shooting for. I went to my PCP today. She took me off my BP pills completely. YAAAAAAAY! That's exciting. I also stopped taking my Synthroid...even though I wasn't supposed to...but she did a TSH on me today, so I'll find out if I really do need to be back on it. I still have days that I feel like a cow, but ya know, over all I enjoy the compliments I get from everyone. I cut off all my hair and donated it to Locks of Love, working out, and tanning. It's all helping to make me feel better about myself. I'm getting there, little by little. Until next time...

Hey there folks!
It's been quite a while since I've updated, so I figured it was probably time.  I'm down 44 lbs.  I'm really starting to notice, and so are other people.  YAY!!
I went today to get a gym membership.  I know that'll help a lot too.  Not really much new goin' on with me.  I can now tolerate milk again, so that exciting!!  Work has been pretty slow.  Got put on call last Thursday and today.  I know, right...heart breaking...hahaha
Well, I'll try to be better about posting, but don't hold your breath.  HAHA

Hey everybody!  Nothing really newsworthy goin' on here.  Just livin' it day by day.  Haven't had any complications as of yet, and hopefully it'll stay that way.  I go see Dr. Diaz on the 29th.  I think he'll be really pleased with my success so far.  It's hard getting all that fluid in, but I'm trying.  I'm down 17 lbs so that's good.  I know I should stay off the scale, but I get so excited, it's hard to.  My mom says my face looks thinner, but I can't see it yet.  Although, she pointed out a new dimple in my face I've never seen before.  I can see it now that she showed me.  Funny how those things change so quickly.  I just got off the phone with the Short Term Dis. claim people, so that looks pretty good.
All in all, I'm doin' wonderful!
