lose weight

Sometimes in life things happen and then things take a turn for the worse, which was my problem. Though I’ve gained back a little of the weight I’ve worked so hard to get rid of…I haven’t given up, I won’t give up…just gotta get back on the program…I will succeed!!

Me at 211 lbs

I’ve been working hard on losing this weight. I have been walking 4+ miles everyday for the last 6 days. The scales showed all my hard work this morning…”40.5” lb weight loss to date…WaaaaaHoooo!!! I am motivated, inspired and determined…therefore, I am unstoppable…”I Will Succeed!!”

Weight loss to Date: 30.5 lbs and still going strong.

I Want To Be A Loser

Oh, how I struggle each and every day,
To lose some body weight in a healthy way.
I’ve struggled since I’ve been a teen,
Wanting to be sleek and lean.

But many times I would start and stop,
I’d throw up my hands and want to get off.
But I’m determined to lose this weight,
Not just to look good, but for health sake.

A long road a head, but if I stick to my guns,
Not only will I be walking, but I’ll be able to run.
I’ll be able to do more things, than sit on my tush,
So I gotta keep going and push, push, push!

Written by Myself

Beginning weight 249 lbs. Today’s weight 221 lbs.

Weight loss to date (since Feb 13) is 28 lbs and I’m still working on losing more. I find it easier to only look at losing 10lbs at a time instead of the over all weight that I want to lose. First goal weight was 240 lbs…second goal weight was 230 lbs…third goal weight 220 lbs…etc, etc. I have reached 2 of my weight loss goals and 1 pound away from my third and then on to the fourth.

I keep a pic in mind of me sitting on my Harley (that I don’t have yet) where I’m weighing 135 lbs.

I did manage to get myself back on track and I’ve stuck with it. Weight loss to date (since Feb 13) is 22 lbs. I have fallen off the track a few times, but have gotten right back on it. I have the ‘determination to succeed’. I’m feeling good and have more energy.

I made up my mind to lose this weight once and for all. I’ve been on a sensible healthy diet and exercising since Feb 13, 2009. Total loss so far 11.5 lbs. I feel great, my BSL (Blood sugar level)is down. I gave up my Dr.Peppers. I made a list of ‘eat only’ foods and I’ve been sticking with it. The diet I chose is a 1500 calorie diabetic diet. I get excited every time I lose another .5 lbs. I am motivated, excited and happy with the loss so far.

I fell off the track on this too…try, try again until I totally succeed!!!

I only actually messed up one evening, but got right back on track the following morning. I’ve got the determination to succeed…and I WILL!!

I’m still more or less going by a 1500 calorie diabetic diet, some days I have a tad more, some days I have a tad less…but it’s all healthy foods. Some people may find this boring, but you gotta know how to spice it up! I eat 5 times a day (3 meals, two snacks) and I’m never hungry. I drink lots of water and drink crystal light, which barely has any caloies at all. Freeze the crystal light and you’ve got a popsicle anytime…yum, yum!!

I’ve discovered Kiwifruit…yum. Never had it before, but I like it.

The damage to my little mess up was minimal and fixable…like I said, I jumped right back on track…

Yep, I messed up Saturday evening…but, no worries…I’m right back on it….

...You are not a failure just because you didn’t succeed the first few times at what you were aiming to accomplish as long as you keep trying…however you are a failure if you give up.

...If at first you don’t succeed…TRY, TRY AGAIN!!

Through eating healthier (On a 1500 calorie diabetic diet), eating a good breakfast daily (most important meal of the day), exercising (including lots of walking)and just plain out keeping busy….I have lost 7 lbs this week.

I am keeping in mind that my aim for weight loss is 1 – 2 1/2 lbs per week. A 7lb weight loss, although good, is not going to be a standard weight loss every week. If I just lost 1 lb this week, I would have reach my weekly goal, but I’m not gonna fuss about losing extra poundage….SMILE!!
