Of course, everyone knows the new year is comming up... I cant lie, i have managed to pack back on 11 lbs after stabilizing around 230 for about 4 months...after magically fitting back into my pre-pregnancy jeans for a few months i put them on today and i cant even zip them.. As all of you know.. my original goal was to hit 190 lbs by today (December 31, 2009) and im weighing in at 241 lbs. I cant lie, i do feel like a bit of a failure.. but overall, this was the first year where i actually managed to LOSE WEIGHT! i showed myself that I CAN DO IT. So with that said, im going into 2010 with a new outlook on this entire thing. Im so ready and determined to meet that goal.
So here goes..

Current Weight - 240 lbs
Measurements:
Waist - 40 inches
Around belly button - 47 inches
Bust - 42 inches
Arms - 15 1/4 inches
Neck - 14 inches
Goal measurements:
Waist - 32 inches
Around Belly Button - 39 inches
Bust - 36 inches

day 1! lol
yesterday was okay up until i got home from school. i was starving!!! i stuffed my face with 2 pieces of pizza. ugh, i still managed to lose - 1.2 lbs. So i'm at 233 lbs today. woot woot. I'm just hoping to get down to 229 or 230 lbs before i start taking phen again. hopefully i can lose 12-14 lbs with the first script, and maybe 8 - 10 with the second script. so withen a month i should be down 20 - 24 lbs if im lucky.

Back after a long hiatus
So i havent really lost any weight since July. but im glad to report, i only gained about 4 lbs. Today i weighed in at 234.2 lbs. not too bad considering that those 4.2 lbs are probably water weight. Me and a buncha girls from my cosmetology class are starting a diet together today. I can still meet my goal of 190 by the end of the year so thats what im going to continue to work towards. Here are my biweekly goals:
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
finally at 230 lbs
i met my second goal!! woot woot! lol.
230 lbs... finally!
the only thing im kind of upset about is, im wondering when the inches will start catching up with the weight loss. I cant believe im still wearing a size 18 after losing 30 lbs. Going to the gym has helped a lot. I know its boosted my metabolism because i've been losing more since going. I'll have to keep this up.
My end of the month goal is 225 lbs. Hopefully i get there. :) I cant believe i'm almost half way to my end of the year goal.

whoaaa 4th of july blew me!
i knew i was going to eat a lot on the 4th, but wow. Im weighin in at 238 lbs!
i gained 3-4 lbs in one day... i want to get it off as soon as possible, but im also thinking that i need to start getting in more calories/eating more often so that my metabolism doesnt shut down on me. And i want these results to last! I dont want to gain 4 lbs in 1 day of eating whatever I want.
Today didnt get off to a good start either. I had a cheeseburger for breakfast (oops) leftover from yesterdays cookout. I will probably have my atkins shake later on for lunch/dinner. Tomorrow i will try to eat every 4 hrs. (8am, 12pm, 4pm) shouldnt be hard, i usually eat a apple on the way out the door to school, my lunch break is at 12... and i get out of school at 4 so i'll probably eat something once im home from school. then around 6-7 pm, that would be the perfect time to get some exercise in. I still want to try to stay around 1000-1100 calories a day.

237 lbs
yay. only lost 17.6 lbs in my first month on phen, was pushing for 20... missed 10 days of pills the first month so thats pretty good.
i cant wait to hit my pre-prego weight. only 17 lbs away. I will be happy when my arms start to slim down. Right now i prefer to lose the flabby arms instead of the stomach!. Arms first, then stomach! lol. Im happy with the progress my belly has made. I lost 3 inches in my waist, and only 1/4 of a inch on my damn arms. ugh.
Im signing up for this biggest loser contest at Sillouettes gym.. its only $25 to join! and u get 6 weeks of gym access! the winner gets a cash prize. Im excited!

beginnings of a plateau
i think im going to plateau soon.
today my scale was doing something weird.. weighing me in between 237 and 239. Im going to say im 238... even after only eating an apple yesterday.
Today so far i had.
sugar free jello - 10 cals
2/3 of a lean cuisine - 178 cals
total: 188 cals.
didn't take my phen today. I'm thinking about cutting down to every other day... for a few reasons.
1. im starting to worry that the phen is messing with my BP and heart rhythm. they say heart palps are normal... but im not so sure. I just dont want to cause any damage. i may have to wean myself off.
2. im running out of pills
3. if everything is fine, and i do continue to take the phen, i dont want to become immune to it.

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I met my first goal weight. But im not as happy as I thought i'd be.
20 lbs officially lost... it should have been more than that at this point. Cant believe it took me 4 months to lose 20 freakin pounds. ugh.
I still need to be 234.6 by the 28th to have lost 20 lbs my first month on phen.

Im back home
My daughter was sick in the hospital from 6/12 til 6/19. I was there with her for the entire week. I didnt take any phen, and i did gain weight.
right now my scale is at 246 lbs. My next appt at the weight loss clinic is wednesday..meaning i would have 4 days to make a difference. I was 243 at the last weigh in... ugh, not good. Im really considering rescheduling. I have about 2 weeks left of pills. I'll probably push the appt back to July 1st to give me a extra week to make up for the week i was out of commission. Thank God im only 3 lbs above where I was.
My goal for the July 1st weigh in is 234.6 lbs.. That will be total loss of 20 lbs on phen (in 1 month, 2 days), and 25.6 lbs total.
I need to start exercising! I believe thats the only way i can reach my goal by the end of the month. plus take my phen, plus diet, plus take the chromium. and up the water intake.
235 - july 1st
225 - august 1st
215 - september 1st
210 - October 1st
200 - November 1st
190 - December 1st - 31st

i dont understand
i only been eating one VERY SMALL meal per day, but im at 244.4 lbs... why? shouldnt i at least be 243? ugh. the weight is coming off SO SLOW.
im pissed, but i guess i should be happy that i even lost anything. TOMORROW i should be 243 lbs. I hope i can make my goal of 234 lbs by June 28th.. so far i've only lost 10.2 lbs since i've been on phen.. and its been almost 2 weeks.
I guess i need to drink more water.

246.6
i think its kind of weird that i only lost .6 lbs yesterday, when i didnt even eat anything except a little jumbalaiya. strange.
but yea.. im at 246.6 lbs. I was hoping to be closer to 245 today. oh well, maybe tomorrow. I need to drink more water today becuz i slacked yesterday. I also need to start taking my chromium again. If i want to meet my goal of losing 20 lbs by june 28th i need to lose 12 more lbs in 21 days. That will put me at 234.6. hopefully at that weight, i will lose another inch or two in my waist. I went from 42 inches to 40.25 inches. :)

OFF TRACK!
This morning i was 246.6....right now i'm 249.2, wtf.
but, i must admit, i have been forgetting to take my pills, which has resulted in me eating the wrong things...still watching portions, but eating stuff that i really shoulldnt be eating. And definitly not drinking enough water.
I think the fact that i started cosmetology school this week really messed up my phen schedule. I've been so wrapped up in my work that i've been forgetting to take my pills at 10:30 - 11:00, and when i finally do remember, its too late becuz i already ate lunch and phen has to be taken 1 hr before eating, on an empty stomach.
I'm not looking forward to this weigh in tomorrow. I wish I would stop doing this to myself. I'm not in the position where I can be cheating and going off my diet like this. I am 249 lbs. I was expecting to be 240 lbs by today, that was my goal, and now im almost back in the 250s. I really need to get back on track.
The only good news I can report is that, i've lost 2 inches off my waist.

Its June!!!
No phen for me today lol!
i decided not to take phen today, because it was SUPPOSED to be my first day of cosmetology school... well, that didnt go to well! smh, drama w/ financial aid. If im lucky i start tomorrow.
today i weighed 245.2 lbs. I've officially lost 15 lbs total!
Food Intake:
Arizona Grapeaid (200 cals)
Chicken caesar salad from wendys (800?)
2 poptarts (400 cals)
total: 1400 cals
I'm already at my limit for today and its only 1:56. I did work up a good sweat walking from jasmines house - subway - bus - empire lol. I'm going to try to do some more walking or something later today because today i ate more than i normally do and i feel FULL.
Hopefully tomorrow i will be 244. I dont know if I will take my phen tomorrow, if i do, it will probably be during some type of lunch break so that the dry mouth/frequent bathroom breaks doesnt irritate me all day long @ school.

Weight Loss Clinic + Phentermine
254.6
So yesterday I went to the weight loss clinic and finally got my phen! I went to Tuesday to get my b12 shot and weight. Their scale said 251 lbs (with clothes on). The nurse said she automatically subtracts -3 from that number so i guess that would put me at 248? yea right.. lol. My scale today read 254.6 which seems a little more accurate.... to me at least.
So today i start taking my phentermine, and hopefully by the end of two weeks im around 245ish. thats like... 10 lbs i need to lose. The diet plan they gave me at the clinic is basically low carb, no sugar, high protein. The nurse there told me i should take my phen around 10 am so that it doesnt wear off before the end of the day. i really hope I dont get any bad side effects!
update: so i took my first phen around 10:30. Its now 11:23 am and i feel nothing.
update: its 3:58 pm and my appetite has been supressed the entire day but i feel like it should be a stronger effect that im getting from the phen. The only thing i really experienced was no appetite, slightly dry mouth and fatigue. I just took another 200 mg of Chromium Picolinate. My parents are making baked chicken and veggies for dinner tonight :) Perfect.
ALSO. i went from 254.6 lbs this morning to 252.2 just a few minutes ago. I know its water weight, but thats good because im slightly bloated. I also just got my period a few minutes ago.
I forgot to add that i went to target today with my friend and we were in the dressing rooms, and i saw a behind view of me in the mirror, and i was pretty disgusted. I have a ton of back fat, right near my arm pits. I really want to lose most of my weight in my upper body, it really makes me sick seeing what i look like.
UPDATE!: i just weighed again and it said 251.6!! I lost 3 lbs in 1 day !! (water weight!)
food total: (1000 calorie limit)
fiber one cereal: 250 cals (9:00 am)
baked chicken breast, broccoli, 2% velveeta shells and cheese (only half) (600?)
total: 850 cals

Dieting is HARD
Well its safe to say, i fell off the wagon. According to my scale i weigh 250 lbs, hard to believe!! Especially since i havent watched what i've been eating at all, but im not complaining!
I decided to start my phen on the 27th so that i'll have time to adjust to the side effects before i start cosmetology school on June 1st, i don't wanna be sittin in school all loopy lol. I just dont know which side effects I will get so i think its safer to start before i go to school... I've been thinking about all these decisions i have to make regarding dr lee vs weight loss clinic. I was thinking of just taking the phen until i can get down to 246ish then maintain that until my appt. Im hoping Dr. will give me the phen so that i dont have to spend $190 a month at the clinic. But if i have to, then I have to. :( I'm just willing to do whatever it takes to get this weight off.

6th week weigh in
251
The thing that makes me most mad about this number is that i reached my goal this week (248) but then i gained back up to where i started.
I think im going to try a new approach, when i meet a goal im just going to put the date next to it so that i dont have to keep reminding myself "damn, im 6 wks into this why have i only lost 9 lbs"
ugh. I will start that once Dr lee approves me for the phen.
food:
macaroni n cheese 1/2 , water.
chocolate pudding parfait 1/2
chicken cheesesteak and cheese fries, grape soda 1/2

Appt. with Dr. Lee
253 @ drs.
i need to stop gaining.
Yea I went to see Dr. Lee today and i got some blood work done. They are going to test my thyroid to see why i've only lost about 28 lbs since i gave birth in June 2008. (im 10 1/2 months PP) She said if i lose 6-8 lbs by my next appt June 19th then i'm on the right track lol... if not then she will probably prescribe me phentermine. So my plan? to lose about 2-3 lbs lol. I want to be 250 lbs by my next appt so that she will give me the pills. I know once i start i will lose like 15-20 lbs the first month. PLUS its way less than paying 190 a month at a weight loss clinic.
So im going to stay on the diet, but hopefully i dont go under 250 lbs by 6/19/09. Or better yet i will just make sure i wear a heavy pair of jeans that day, and a belt. LOL wow i sound like I got it all figured out... But really though, i need to stop cheating. I havent been too focused lately. Heres what I had today...
Salad w/ chicken, cheese, croutons, fat free italian
100 calorie pack
apple
a freakin cheeseburger
so im done for the day.

Damn..
I weighed in this morning somewhere between 248-250. i dont know what was going on with my scale but it pissed me off. I decided to eat TWO cheeseburgers this morning. Yea i said it. I really dont know why.... but i think i need to switch up my calorie intake because my weight loss is starting to stagger and fluctuate. Hopefully after today I can get back to regular weight loss.
Yesterday I signed up for cosmetology school @ Empire. I start June 1st! Thats like two wks from now. Super excited! I think it'll help a lot with my diet and exercise because i'm there Monday - Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. I'd have to take the subway and the bus so that included some walking. And if im occupied with school all day that will keep me from pigging out on all the wrong things. I figured I'd have a apple on my way out the door, maybe take another apple, 100 calorie pack and a bottle of water with me for lunch, and when i get home around 4:30 - 5 i can have a decent dinner.
One thing that I just realized is that I have my appt @ Stem-Ross comming up on the 26th, I also have orientation for Empire that day. ugh, kinda sucks but I'll have to make it work.
Hopefully since I got my gorge for the day I wont need to eat badly for the rest of the week. Im going to focus on my water intake today too. I want to get back down to 148 by the end of the week! & o m g i am watching Tyra Banks right now and Kim Kardashian is the guest, she has a new work out dvd comming out called "Fit in Your Jeans by Friday" Its like 3 10 minute work outs, I might have to check it out. Kim Kardashian is my ultimate girl crush. LOVE HER.
Food intake:
two cheeseburgers
apple
salad with chicken, croutons, cheese, fat free italian
fruit and yogurt parfait
im on my 3rd bottle of water :)

Counting Calories!
256.
When I was in high school i would drop weight soooo easily. I miss those days but i realize a difference in what I did then and what I do now... I used to count my calories!
Soo. Today i had:
Low Sugar Apples & Cinnamon oatmeal & 20 oz water - 110 cals
Whopper jr. w/ cheese, mustard & pickles - 330 cals
4 piece chicken tenders - 187 cals
small fry - 230 cals
16 oz Raspberry Nestea - 116 cals
total: 973 cals but i had 1 bbq sauce too so i will just round that off to 1000 calories.
its 4:00 pm and I wasnt expecting to eat BK today but, oh well. I guess I need to consume more water, and chew gum for the remainder of the day. I reaaaally dont want to go over 1000 calories a day.

lost 1 lbs in a day.
back down to 255.4 (yay). maybe i can reach my 253 lb goal by Saturday?
i'm going to try to eat two decent meals a day. Breakfast and lunch then drink a lot of water in the evening & chew gum to control the cravings. yup, sounds good. I've never been under 255 since starting this weight loss thing. I will be so estatic when i reach my 10 lb loss. Its been SLOW but everyone says slow is best. i hope so.

General Goals
I'm going through a break up with my babys father and to help me cope with the new changes I just wanted to list some general goals i want to accomplish, weight and non weight related.
1. Today i weigh 256.4 lbs (ugh) although i want to reach my goal of 253 by Saturday, if it doesn't happen i just wish to be 256 by the time i start phentermine. While im on phentermine i want to lose at least 30 lbs in 3 months.
2. I NEED to find a job. The job search hasn't been going too well. Im going to apply at two different Subways, Panera Bread, Salsarita's, and Footlocker. Regardless, I am determined to find a job THIS MONTH.
3. Start cosmetology school in June or July.
4. Renew my license.
5. Get a gym membership and use it.
6. Pamper myself once a week with a hairstyle, manicure/pedicure & eyebrows every two weeks.
7. Clean up my room and organize all my clothes/hair products & lotions/make up
8. Start taking Camaya for walks

So its been exactly 1 month since i started trying to lose weight.... i've been fluctuating between the same 5 lbs since I started . WHEN AM I GOING TO LOSE SOME REAL WEIGHT?!! this is getting frustrating. I really dont even eat THAT much. I know I dont exercise but damn, it was never this hard to lose weight before. Why is it so hard now? I'm only 20 years old this should be easy but its taking forever. My appt is in 22 days. I really want to be in the 240s by then, but I dont see it happening.

Sample food plan
Food Intake:
Jumbo HALF & HALF (lemonade & tea)
Foot Long meatball marinara sub from Subway
Someone posted their food plan on one of the forums I post at. I thought it would be useful to me so im adding it in here.
i wouldn't say i so much have a program bc i'm not into fad diets and all that, i refuse to be someone who loses 70 plus lbs just to gain it back and go through this again. i've basically made lifestyle changes that i know i can follow for the rest of my life. i count calories. i know that i can't stick to low carb for the rest of my life.. i can't do a food group deprivation forever but what i can do is tweak my calories to where i burn more than i eat or it's even for maintenance without giving up any of the food i love. i keep my calories under 1000 but i didn't look at ur height or weight.. i'm small and only 5'4" so i'm gonna say about 1200 for a medium build and a litle taller.. here r some samples of what i eat...breakfast-*egg 70 cal, 2 pieces turkey bacon 50 cal, low cal toast 35 cal. TOTAL 155*cereal with skim about 250 cal*low cal french toast 2 pcs 90 cal, walden farms syrup 0 cal, 2 pcs turkey bacon 50 cal. TOTAL 140 *egg 70 scrambled with fat free shredded cheese 45 cal and veggies 15 cal (i use green onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and tomatoes) and 1/2 oz of ham 30 cal. TOTAL 160 *breakfast cassarole (line the bottom of a baking dish with one bag frozen hashbrowns i get the cubed ones with the onions and peppers in them, pour over that a carton of egg beaters, throw in some veggies, cook some turkey sausage and crumble it up and throw it on top, sprinkle some fat free shredded cheese on it and bake at 350 til the eggs r fluffy and cooked- usually about half an hour). TOTAL 250 for a half a cup and it feeds a ton of ppl or it's great reheated.*mcdonalds fruit and yogurt parfait with granola (this is my fav it's easy to grab on the way to the gym, it's good, it's only a dollar) 160 cal.lunch:*oz of ham 60 cal on low cal bread 70 (2 slices) with mustard 0 cal and half a cup healthy choice soup (that's 1/4 of a can) usually about 50 cal.

Results for the month of April
Here are my results for the month of April. (4th - 30th)
My goal was to get down to 250 lbs.
Today i weigh in at: 256 lbs
I've lost a total of: - 4.2 lbs
My next goal is to weigh 240 lbs by June 2nd which means i need to lose - 16 lbs
*************************************************************************
I am pleased with my progress, I didn't reach my goal for the month but i lost 4.2 lbs this month by not doing much at all but making some small changes in my eating habits. I also want to add that I am on TOM. (time of the month) so hopefully when it ends I will be UNDER 256 lbs.
I didn't starve myself this month, I didnt kill myself exercising, but i still made progress, at least I did not gain. I am 4.2 lbs lighter than where I started at on April 4th. Best of all I am no longer in the 260's! Do i wish it was more? Of course I do, but I'm just glad i was able to lose and not gain.

256.8 lbs
Okay so yesterday when I re-weighed myself without clothes on i was 256.8 lbs! Finally, under 257!
Im kind of upset that I keep binging at night. I think once I start the phentermine it will help supress my appetite at night which is what I really need help with at this point. I really think thats the reason why i havent lost more weight this month. I believe my total is 3.4 lbs. I cant wait to start. My new mini goal is to get down to 240 by June 2nd. (IDK if i already posted that but yea thats my goal.) I also decided that after 3 month on phentermine im going to stop taking it and try the HCG injections If I havent met my goal.
So yesterday I walked 1/2 mile around the track at my old High School. I must admit, i felt so out of shape. There were old people who were running, passing me by. lol. But im just proud that I was able to get up and do something active yesterday. Next wkend im going to try to do a mile. I never realized how big the track was lol. I also did 10 sit ups.
Todays goal:
drink more water.

3rd Week Weigh In
258 lbs.
I gained 0.8 lbs this week.
This diet thing is really hard for me, Its never been this hard for me before. My appetite was never as strong as it is now. Theres not much I can say except I will try harder this week. I basically wasted an entire month. I only lost 2 lbs in April so far. My next weigh in is May 2nd which is exactly 1 month from my appt at the weight loss clinic. I want to get down to 240 by 6/2/09 so I will keep on pushing.
Theres not like I can blame anyone but myself for the weight gain the past two weeks, I've been eating a lot of the wrong things at the wrong times. But as previously stated, I will NOT give up. I will keep on blogging, through the good and the bad.. Hopefully things are better for me this week.

17 lbs by June 2nd
Damnit I just typed a long post and it got erased some how. What is the "Saving" function for if it dont even work? Lol That just ruined my day. Sike.
I've realized anytime i set a plan for myself i almost never stick to it. And i noticed a pattern, I tend to eat a lot in the evenings and at night, and its because I'm stuck in the house. I need to get out more and find a way to break this habbit.
Here are my goals for now until June 2nd:
No eating after 7:30 pm
Restrict as much as possible but still find foods that are filling
Try not to eat out of boredom.
Dont feel like I have to eat something just because its there.
Get a lot more exercise (try to walk around the track at least 1 1/2 mile (6 laps) at night or in the evening.
Get out of the house as much as possible (not spend as much time sitting on the couch on the computer)
FIND A JOB
I did a lot of calculations and figured out that i will be paying the weight loss clinic $190 a month.. (damn that is really a lot) So i need to find a job, or at least a steady income so that I am able to afford. it. The first visit is $110 and the 2 week follow up is $80. thats $190 per month. I hope that I lose as much on my own so that I dont have to rely on the clinic or the phentermine. If i do, it will get really pricey. So if I go for two months then take a break, it'll cost $380. I figured I would only take the meds for 2 months.. then take a break.. maybe a 3-4 week break... If i am still losing on my own then I will stay off the meds. If i start falling back into my old habits then I will get back on the meds after a month or so. Eventually i want to stop paying the clinic and start paying the gym. Thats my ultimate goal. I think when i reach 199 lbs i will stop going to the clinic. (If i can afford to go that long)
Food:
apple & cinnamon oatmeal - 110 cals
rice cake - 50 cals
smart ones - 440 cals
total: 600 cals
update: UGH! these cravings are really annoying me. I swear it feels like im hungry every 1-2 hours. Im trying to ignore these cravings until dinner (approx 6 pm) i think i'll chew a piece of gum or something. Im going to try to do some type of cardio today.

Stem Ross Weight Loss Center
So, I signed up. My appointment is June 2nd at 11:00 am. I was hoping I could get in sooner. Im kind of upset that it will take another month before I can start but oh well.. I have saved up $148. My first visit will cost $110, and after that approx $80 every two weeks. The good thing about it is that gives me enough time to find a job so that I dont have to continue to sell my food stamps (embarrassed about that).
I have been actively looking for a job, not only does that give me something to do all day, it keeps my mind off food. It also will put some money in my pocket which I so desparately need. I told myself I wouldnt give up on this diet so im going to stick to my word and try to do this on my own until my appt in June. When i spoke to the receptionist she asked me how much weight did I need to lose, I told her approximately 100 lbs BUT i would be happy if i could reach my goal of 190 by the end of the year. That would put me where i was in High School... :) Today, my goal is to drink more water, to have a rice cake as a snack, and soup or a Smart Ones for dinner.
Today i weigh 258 lbs. I will be soo happy when im not flucuating between 256-258 anymore.

Today i weigh 258 lbs. I will be soo happy when im not flucuating between 256-258 anymore.

900 calories
I've noticed something about my eating habits....I can go a while without eating, until a temptation food is placed right in front of me, then i lose all my will power, and binge!! then I dont stop, I look at it as "ive already ruined my day, why not ruin it more" and i continue to eat... Or if i am eating normally that day, as soon as I finish a meal, im still wanting to eat more. It gets harder and harder to turn down the food after I've after I've already began. Its depressing and Im determined thats the reason I cant get past this plateau I've hit. I also dont understand how the hell did I hit a plateau if I havent even lost a huge amount of weight? For the month of April i've lost a total of 3 freakin pounds. My goal is 9 days away and I dont think I'm going to reach it, which will just set me back 1 month. I cant afford to keep wasting time like this i really want to be 190 by the end of this year.
Last night i was reading up on phentermine and hcg injections and its so tempting for me to just sign up at a weight loss clinic and lose this weight the lazy way with a ton of medications. But i dont want to do it that way. I want to do it the healthy way with diet and exercise but I am so unmotivated. It is so frustrating for me, I dont want to lose hope but i feel like i'm headed down that path. I wish i still had my blog from when i was 14 and losing weight like crazy. I would refer back to it and follow my plans but I cant because they're gone. I know exactly how to lose weight but I never follow through with actually doing it and its probably because of the challenge. It actually takes effort and im a lazy person. I need to get past all these hurdles that im putting myself through, Its nobodys fault but my own. I really want to reach this goal by the end of the month. 250 lbs, that would be all i need to continue on in this journey. But no matter what I refuse to give up. I will finish this, even if it takes me longer than expected.
Im hoping to stick to 900 calories every day until the end of the month. Hopefully then I will reach my goal, or be very close to reaching my goal. So far today I've had 450 cals which means i've already consumed half of my days calories. I can use 450 on dinner... I went grocery shopping today and bought a ton of Campbells Select Harvest Light soups.. 60 calories per serving or less! I also bought some rice cakes (50 cals each) to snack on. I meant to pick up some sugar free jello (10 cals each) but i forgot to grab em. I also bought some pickles (5 cals each) and some non butter popcorn (35 cals per cup), chicken broth AND some lemons because I was considering doing the Master Cleanse for a few days (5 or less) but I realized the grade b syrup was $35. Wayy above my budget. I saw the laxative tea as well but couldn't really see putting myself though that. If i do try the MC it will more than likely be a modified version. With the foods I bought today theres no reason why i shouldnt be able to stay below 900 calories a day for the next 9 days.
Todays food:
Breakfast: apple & cinnamon rice cake - 50 calories
Lunch: turkey with light mayo on wheat, 2 pickles, water - 400 calories
Dinner: popcorn, western fries w/ cheese, ice cream (damnit!)

10 days left to reach my first goal
I have 10 days left to lose approximatly 7.2 lbs. :(
I dont know if this is cheating, but i was going to consider buying a cleanse from GNC... any suggestions?
Yesterday was a horrible food today. Today will be mucho mejor!
Breakfast: few spoons of Rasin Bran w/ 2 % milk.
Lunch: nothing
Dinner: 4 pieces of pizza [ i was so hungry because I didnt really eat anything all day, just a few spoons of rasin bran this morning, didn't even finish it]
i had a feeling i'd binge later and thats exactly what happened.

2nd Weeks Weigh In
257.2 lbs.
I didnt meet my initial goal of 250, or maintain my weight of 255. im pissed but its my fault. I need to start making better food choices and start exercising more.
my will power just isnt as strong this time around. I didnt think it'd be that hard to lose 7 freakin lbs to get out of the 250s. :(

Potential Monthly Goals
Today while I was sitting in class I figured, if I can lose 10 lbs every month until December that would put me at 170 lbs. WOW. It sounds good and everything, BUT can I really do it? I don't know. but i guess it wont stop me from making a few goals.
I really want to lose 10 lbs a month. Thats only 2.5 lbs a week, every week, until the end of the year.. SOOOO:
by the end of april - 250
by the end of may - 240
by the end of june - 230
by the end of july - 220
by the end of august - 210
by the end of september -200
by the end of october -190
by the end of november - 180
by the end of december - 170
Now, im not really expecting to be perfect, losing 10 lbs every month so I decided if I can get to 190 by the end of the year (66 lbs in 8 1/2 months) i will be satisfied. (7.7 lbs a month, roughly 2 lbs a week). That doesnt count for this month. I still need to get down to 250 lbs (-6 lbs) by April 30th..
this will be HARD. Has anyone succeeded in losing 8-10 lbs a month, every month?

Pure Laziness
I think i've realized my problem, and why my weight loss has done a reverse on me this week....Its because I dont exercise. I am extremely lazy. I know theres no way i can lose 57 lbs (to get in the 100s) by just eating to lose weight. I need to get up and move around. AND i need to eat 3 meals a day. I thought by starving myself the other day I would surely get back to 255 but instead i shot up to 259, almost where I began!. By the end of the day i was back to 257... as of today i have no clue where I stand. But i will say that I ate Mcdonalds again yesterday, not much but still. I ate Panera Bread, Mcdonalds and a swiss roll. I did get some exercise though (Walking). Today i really want to go to the grocery store and buy some healthy options.
I could really use the support this week! Please help get me motivated to get back on track. If I can get back to 255 by Saturday (which will be a -0 ) i will be satisfied, as long as I dont gain.
My Goals This Week:
255
do SOME cardio
go grocery shopping
take and post pictures
Breakfast: none
Lunch: none
Dinner: panera bread sandwhich & chicken caesar salad w/ apple.
update: i weighed in at 256.6 lbs today.

Carnival Food
So yesterday me and Tay went to the carnival lol.... you probably already know where this one is going. We had a lot of fun, but in the midst of all the fun, i ate so many calories i didnt even want to calculate them. Yesterday I ate:
carrots & celery w/ dip
1 1/2 turkey bacon subs with mustard, tomato, lettuce, pickle
grilled chicken club meal (with french fries) from McDonalds with Coke
piece of a funnel cake
1/2 caramel apple w/ peanutes
nachos & cheese
4 swiss chocolate rolls.
and i now weigh 257.2 lbs. Today I am determined to get back on track so far i've had:
breakfast: small fruit salad
lunch: carrots & celery w/ dip
dinner: few bites of mac & cheese, green beans, ham. (realized this was bad and tossed it!, ate Campbell's Select Harvest Soup instead.. 50 CALORIES!!!)
I plan on having carrots w/ celery & dip for lunch, and dinner is still up in the air. Im really trying to get down to 256 by tomorrow and continue losing. the goal : burn more calories than I consume. Its time to kick this into high gear and I really need to start exercising!!

256!
Yesterdays food: (4/8/09)
Breakfast: cookies n cream ice cream, 2 slices of pizza (this is where i messed up!)
Lunch/Dinner: chicken blt salad from Wendys, dr pepper, hot chocolate (not too bad, could have skipped on the dr pepper though)
Todays Food:
Breakfast: Oatmeal, water (130 cals)
Lunch:
Dinner:
I cannot believe I've lost 4 lbs so far this week!! Yesterday I went to Silhouettes and took a tour of the gym. It was pretty empty for the most part but there was a "Body Pump" class going on. I actually really like the gym in person. The only real issue that I have with it is the price. It costs a lot more than I thought it would. So i'm going to try the "Free Week" pass. and use it up to my advantage. Then I will probably have to just work out at school (where its free).
I've been doing a lot of walking lately (Around the mall, lol) which is great exercise. Today i'm going to the mall with Britt, we're going to find Camaya a new dress and me some dress shoes, today is my cousins funeral. Today my goal is to substitute 1 meal for a salad, and the other meal for a sandwhich (wheat bread, no mayo, lean meat, lots of veggies!) Tomorrow i want to get down to 255 lbs. If i can end the week out at 254 i will be amazed and ultimately satisfied!

My Goals for Today
1. walk around the mall
2. substitute lunch or dinner for a salad
3. watch portions!!
breakfast: rasin bran with 2% milk
lunch: chargrilled chicken sandwhich from chick fil a. tall caramel frappuchino from starbucks (my weakness)
dinner: going to have a crispy chicken BLT salad from Wendys
edit: at the doctors today i weighed in at 256! my home scale still says 258-259. The doctor really wants me to get more exercise and cut out all fast food for one month. She told me my bmi is 44 and she wants it at 25. I remember when my bmi was 30-31. :(
i think i ate well today, minus the caramel frap. but at least that was tall and not grande or vente.

258!
So i lost two pounds! LOL, well, I probably stayed the same, because when i weighed last time i had on jeans lol.
Oh well, 258.2 lbs. Thats better than 260.2 which is where i was on Saturday.
To tell the truth, i've been eating pretty crappy. But at least, while im eating crappy, im watching the PORTIONS. I think how much you eat is just as important as what you eat.
So far today: a few spoonfuls of macaroni salad, some hot chocolate w/ whipped cream. I guess that counts as my breakfast. I've been craving Panera Bread for a few days now, hopefully later today I can stop past there and get my smoked turkey breast sandwhich w/ caesar salad.
Lunch: bowl of spanish rice w/ground beef, digorno pepperoni pizza, 3-4 snicker doodle cookies
Dinner: panera bread: turkey breast on country bread, side chicken caesar salad, apple w/ green tea.
snack: hot chocolate, 2 western fries.
edit 4/7/09: I really ate a lot yesterday, and didn't realize it! looking at it now i feel like i really over it did it.

New Scale... I've been slipping.
Last night and today were not good. As previously posted, last night me and Tay went to Applebees where i proceeded to stuff my face like a starving homeless person. Today wasn't much better. I was out all morning doing a ton of shopping. I bought so many shirts which I will need to lose at least 15-20 lbs before i dare put them on. They are really snug, and look horrible as of now. Speaking of, I bought a new scale! its the Biggest Loser scale by Taylor. As of right now it reads....
260.2 lbs.
Not surprising, i figured i was between 250-260. Today i was supposed to go to Silhouettes for my first workout, but I didnt go because my workout partner backed out on me....
I decided that Saturday will be my weigh in day. every Saturday i will post my weight on here, and log my progress. Right now, my biggest problem is making better food choices. I've really been slippin.
Breakfast - McDonalds bacon, egg, cheese busicut, hashbrown, small coke
Lunch - 4 slices of pizza, grande caramel frappuchino.
Dinner -
i feel embarrassed logging that.

Food choices.
I finally found a good WW Foods List!! So far on day 3 i have had a pop tart for breakfast (2) not the greatest choice, but i will be walking around campus withen the next 1/2 hour so i am not trippin about it. I realize i need to make better food choices, which will be alot easier when im able to go grocery shopping on the 10th. I've been craving grapefruit w/ splenda. :)
Last night i ate fettichini and fries only because there was nothing else to eat last night @ tays and i was starving (from not eating breakfast). Today i will focus on making the best food choices I can, which kind of makes me feel like a hypocrite for not choosing to have oatmeal for breakfast when I could have. I will work on it throughout the day.
Breakfast: 2 pop tarts (400 calories)
Lunch: chef boyardee beefaroni (500 calories)
snack: 2 pop tarts (400 calories damn!)
Dinner: applebee's, way too much to post.
edit: my check is here! im going to sign up for Silloettes today! (or tomorrow morning)
even though todays food choices arent great, blogging them is helping me NOT overeat. Before i started this blog, i would have probably already consumed 2500 calories (if not more) at 2:00. today i have so far consumed 900 calories. I'm thinkin chicken caesar salad for dinner.
update: damn these pop tarts!!
update: wow, i went crazy @ applebee's but i wont beat myself up over it because tomorrow morning @ 11, me and Britt are going to Silhouettes for our first workout. I'm super excited for that.

Breakfast matters!
Today once again i forgot to eat Breakfast, and it really shows. It's 12:42pm and im hungry! I decided on left over spaghetti and meatballs w/ garlic bread for lunch. Not a ridiculous portion, and instead of drinking sweet tea, this time i'll have water. I'm satisfied with how yesterday went. Hopefully today will be another good day to look forward to. Today i intend to find a WW foods list that i can bookmark and keep track of my points.
Even though its only day 2, i can tell a major difference in the way i feel about this "diet" and others i've tried in the past. I dont feel intimidated this time. I'm eating the things i want to eat, but making healthier choices. Im not eating a large portion, and im not starving myself. I feel much better this time around.
Breakfast - none (i will work on it!)
Lunch - spaghetti w/ meatballs, 2 pieces of garlic toast, water.
snack- none
dinner- french fries w/ barbeque and fettechini alfredo =[

Realization & Committment.
So the day has come where I finally make the committment to well, commit! I've spent a lot of time researching diets and trying to figure out the best way to approach this new change, when really its simple. Just to do it. I've been making excuses for the longest time as to why I cannot get up off my lazy butt and exercise. And i've been trying to convince myself its okay to eat thousands upon thousands of calories a day and expect not to blow up. I've been in DENIAL.
After searching google, and chatting with others I've decided theres a lot that needs to be accomplished. I have made a list of objectives I need to complete (which I will post soon). I love the idea of blogging this journey. It'll help me better track my progress, keep me focus and help motivate me to stay on point. Hopefully I meet some supportive people along the way who struggle just as I do. I'm determined to not make this just another weight loss blog that gets abandoned along the way. I WILL stick to this.
In the meantime, I will continue my research on which plan i will use, but I pretty much have already decided that I'll be doing Weight Watchers (unofficially, basically without the meetings & without the price). And I have a gym picked out which is not far from my house. The place is called Sillouettes, an all womens gym that offers curcuits, cardio, classes and a program called "Healthy Expections" which i will explain soon. In the meantime I am in search of some WW Food Points Lists, recipes, and other inspiring blogs.
Daily Intake:
Breakfast: nothing =\
Lunch: 1 1/2 cup of Rasin Bran, 1 cup of 2% milk
Snack: none
Dinner: spaghetti with meatballs, 2 pieces of garlic toast. iced tea.
exercise: walking uphill aound campus.
edit: i've realized that by skipping breakfast i was really hungry this afternoon. I will need to make sure i eat breakfast, lunch and dinner to avoid binging. I was tempted to go for 2nds at dinner, but i chose not to because I will not fail again. I will allow myself one more snack, but no more eating after 8:30 pm.
After searching google, and chatting with others I've decided theres a lot that needs to be accomplished. I have made a list of objectives I need to complete (which I will post soon). I love the idea of blogging this journey. It'll help me better track my progress, keep me focus and help motivate me to stay on point. Hopefully I meet some supportive people along the way who struggle just as I do. I'm determined to not make this just another weight loss blog that gets abandoned along the way. I WILL stick to this.
