lose weight

Ok…here’s a downer to what once was a positive lil blog roll….I am stuck in a weight fluctuation between 185lb and 190lb!! It is totally my fault and I fully accept the responsibility of it but that doesn’t make me like it any better. I’ve temporarily lost my motivation but I am hoping to get it back very shortly…..I think the motivation was attached to some other things I’ve lost a grip on (working on that too) so I feel like I won’t be stuck for long but for the moment….UGH! Movement is what I need! Forward movement!!! Or just movement in general, since exercise is the key right??

Ok so it has been a long time since I’ve posted to this particular goal…..I started making the effort to lose weight again in August at 224 lbs (ugh) and now, in March, I am down to 184 lb! Not too bad considering my back injury and the holidays :) With the treatment I am recieving for my back, I can now start a decent exercise program and hopefully start losing more and toning what’s left…..I feel a lot better but I know that I need to work harder because I think there should be about 20 lbs more gone. Wish me luck!

So far there have been several people ask me, “Are you losing weight?” I can now safely reply that YES I AM!!!! I have actually lost 10 more pounds! That brings the total to a whopping 24 lbs!!! It is all from movement, stress, and a trimmed down diet!! WOOHOO! My pants and bras are baggy!! (normally wouldn’t be too enthusiastic about the bras but I have enough to spare so yahooo!)

I have lost a total of 14 lbs in prolly 3 months which seems so very slow but hopefully it means it’ll stay off! I am down from an 18 to a 16 and my bras are getting way too big…...how bittersweet it is (LOL). Slackin on the food journal but will fix that starting at 7 am tomorrow!

Ok so I’ve lost a stinkin pound since the 8th (BLAH!!) On the upside, my hubby got his marching orders from our family doctor….It’s a low-cholesterol diet and exercising 4 times a week for the both of us now! It’s all so much better when you have someone there to help motivate you plus we’ll be setting a good example for the kids…I worry sometimes they are getting too lazy :( Oh well, we do the best we can do and that’s all we can do!

Ok I read an article in Reader’s Digest (or somewhere) and it talked about how keeping a food journal helps in the weight loss effort. I will begin the journal on August 1 and hopefully I’ll have some good news to report!

After gaining some weight back after my surgery and wreck I’ve actually managed to lose 14lbs. Only 36 more to go.

Ok so I’ve lost 12 lbs and I’ve committed to lose 30 more!! I hate that the weight has come back but that’s what happens when you become lax in your diet and exercise program…..I’ll learn I guess….it would just be sooooo nice to be one of THOSE people who never have to worry about it….sigh....The reality is I am not so I need to get off my fat ass and do something about it! I am not going to give on this one!

Since my surgery last year I have gained back 40lbs of the weight I had lost. I know it’s from lack of exercise (was terrified I’d hurt myself again) and not watching what I eat. So in the interest of myself and my family (the hubby has gained about 20 lbs) we are going to undergo a major lifestyle change…..I think it’ll be good for all of us.
To go ahead and put it out there, I am weighing in at 214 (I know right?? HUGE) and yesterday I began the medication again to help me get started. It’s the worst time of year to start a diet but I did it before I’ll do it again…..I have some time to go to the CPA (gym) on campus plus I’ve already informed the spouse that Saturday mornings will also be spent at the gym….I’ll be documenting my progress on here cause I feel like it helps to air it out…..We’ll see! Wish me luck!

While the holidays and the surgery have been exactly what I needed on an emotional level, I have gained 12 lbs!! It sucks (though I have enjoyed every bite of it!) and I plan on remedying the situation asap! Wish me luck!
