Yes, I am finally here 1 week ago

I am at my goal weight and I just don’t know how to act. Thank you for the support. What was funny is that I have been exercising and watching what I eat and nothing has helped. I found the GM Diet and it allowed me to get to where I wanted to be.



I've Lost 16 lbs. 9 months ago

This is the most weight I have ever lost in my entire life. This is crazy. 9 more pound to go until 165. It has taken so long to break 177 is awful. For my gift to me, I spent the day with my bestfriend. I also got my nails done. Good job me! It is totally worth it.

Saturday I was supposed to eat no meat, but I did later that day. I had an omelet with broccoli and cheese. For lunch, I had 1 fried wing, rice, broccoli with mushroom soup. Dinner, KFC fried spicy wings.

Today for breakfast, broccoli with onions and cheese omelet. Side salad and mashed potates lunch. Dinner, half a chicken breast, black eyed peas, mixed vegetables.

I will have to see what the morning brings. I haven’t exercised today. Yesterday, I jogged the stairs for a few minutes.

I am really proud of myself and what I have accomplished. Looking at myself, I realized that I shouldn’t be as big as I am. There is extra weight on my thighs, but there is some definition.

Again, 9 lbs to go. I can get it done!



Back at 176, I can beat this weight game 9 months ago

I thought about my weightloss and it is somewhat depressing. Been trying to get rid of this weight for a while to no avail. Here I am back at 176. Doing my best to stay here.

Day before yesterday, I got new wires and power chain on my braces. In other words my teeth and gums hurt. All of the food I have been eating has been soft. Another thing, two of my molars got packed so that my top teeth will not hit my bottom braces. The price I am paying for vanity. Anywho, I have been eating light these few days. This has helped me with my weightloss and I also have been exercising.

I deserve this 176 lbs. I walked for 40 minutes and did about 5 sets of stairs. I look at my body and I can tell that I am not supposed to be this big. The fat is in the strangest places. All of it will pan out I am sure.

I don’t know if I will be 165 by the end of the month, but I will darn surely give it all that I have.

Breakfast
0 point Progresso Vegetable Soup
Lunch
1/2 baked tilapia and mashed potatoes
Dinner
Spaghetti with rice instead of noodles

I may not be able to walk due to having to attend a track meet. Even if I don’t I can do something in the house. Meeting goals is sometimes hard, but it will all be worth it in the end.

O, ya! I turned down a chocolate covered donut a few minutes ago. That took wheel power.



I can Fit my Pants 9 months ago

This may seem so minor, but I can fit some pants I haven’t worn in the past 6 months. That is a bridge that I knew was coming, but I didn’t know when. A very triumphant moment for me. Ontop of that, my people have said you have lost weight. Is it that obvious? I hope so.

Daily work out. Leg lefts with exercise ball (40), squats (50), bike trainer, 10 lb weights. Today, I am going to the park and walk. I will do the stairs 5 times too.

My clothes are fitting differently. I can tell a difference in my thighs and my stomach. To be proud of myself is an honor. Life is based on cause and effect. I will lose these 11 lbs. I can and I will.

Since 2000, I have put on 30 lbs. That is about 3 lbs. every year. People tell me you have put on weight, that is true. They never thought I would gain weight, well I did. Now is the time to get it together and get healthy.

Yesterday, I went to a buffet, I overate, but today, I will eat better. Since I am going to the park, this will be a change in my routine. Confuse the muscles is my plan. I don’t want to overdue it and lose too much to fast, but overall I am excited about what I have done thus far. I know I will be successful.



176 Finally! 9 months ago

The weight this morning is 176. I again am proud of myself. I felt that I was never going to make here. What in the world. My eating habits have changed, but the weekend seems to be my down fall.

Yesterday, for breakfast I had 2 turkey sausages, lunch small portion of pork steak, rice, and squash. Dinner, a sandwich and a half.

I jumped rope, rode my bike, leg raises, worked my arms with my 10 lb weights, and squats. I feel that I can make this work. For the last few days I have felt down and out about my weight loss, but I think it will be successful.

The end of March is rapidly approaching. Will I meet my 165 lb goal or will I get close? I am working hard on making it work. I can do it, I know I can. It is a matter of watching what I eat, not overeating, and maintaining my weight loss goals. Healthy eating is my main thing. Also daily exercing.

Looking forward to 170, 6 more lbs. to go. I know I can do it. I believe so I will achieve. I am worthy of weighing less. I believe that I am and will meet my goal.



177 and Counting 9 months ago

I have been holding on to 177 for a few days now. I am again proud of my accomplishments. My eating habits have changed and I don’t want anything heavy. That is a blessing too. 12 more pounds to go. I am working hard to meet that 165 goal by the end of the month. Hopefully I will make it if I don’t it will not be a big deal. As long as I am not here, that will be fine. I want to be able to fit a size 10/12 respectfully. There are clothes (pants) in my closet that I have never been able to get into.

Purchasing 10 lb weights to use while riding bike will help. Using a jump rope will add to my cardio. I have been feeling bad lately, so I haven’t worked out in about 5 days. Maintaining is part of the challenge.

Healthy lifestyle is what I will achieve.



178 Can you Believe It? 10 months ago

I have finally broken the 179 curse. I could hardly believe it! I am so proud of myself. It has been long overdue. For real!

Now I have to lose 12 more pounds to get to 165.

This has been long overdue, I can’t say it enough. I may be repeating myself, but I have been struggling with this weight for a while. I calculated the amount of weight I have gained since 2000. To date, I have put on 33 lbs. That is something. That’s 3.7 lbs. a year.

I do admit, I overate this weekend. I know, but it was so good. I am looking forward to having a healthy lifestyle. Losing weight is a plus and it is the right path to being healthy. I have also been doing a little workout in the house. Squats, lunges, leg raises, riding my bike trainer, eating more veges, less meat. Overall cutting back is the key.

Any loss is better than none. March 31 is my do or die date. At that time, I will get a massage and manicure for my success. I may also take a day to photograph the city.

If you want to lose weight believe in yourself and take it slow. It wasn’t easy to put it on and it will take time to take it off. You can do it, just believe in yourelf.



Back at 179 10 months ago

I don’t know if what I ate today wil help, but I will go to the park and jog. When I get home, I may just ride my bike too. Leg lifts and squats for the day too.

I finally got back to 179. I am proud. Today, I had 3 small pieces of sausage for breakfast. Lunch, was a chicken breast and wing (baked), rice, and spinach. Dinner, will be a Wendy’s side salad. I am not sure what type of dressing.

If I jog and ride my bike I know I should get below 179. Leg lifts and squats will come in handy. I am just ready to get below 179.

I can tell that my eating habits have changed. That is something that I am really proud of.

For my changes I purchased some Lancome makeup. I really can tell the difference in my makeup.

179 will not be my stop. I will monitor what I eat and change accordingly. I know I can make a difference. I just need to change a few things even if it is eating salads for a week during lunch.

I am not trying to get fine, but change my lifestyle. It takes practice, dedication, and hard work.



179 is my Friend 10 months ago

Back into the 70s I am proud of myself. I may say the same things, but what is there to say. Healthy living is what I am striving for. I want to be healthy and get to the 160s. Like I said before I know I can get it done. It is a matter of staying focused and eating right.

By the end of the week I should be in the mid 170s. I can tell a difference in my clothes. I just want to be able to fit some pants that I bought and never have gotten into. It is alright to go up and down, but to have a certain weight is a different story. I am overweight. I am at the top of my size for my height.

Like I said before by the end of March I will be at 165. When I get to my goal I will do something nice for myself. I am still trying to decide.



I am always going Back Up 10 months ago

I went back up this weekend. Today, I am 182. I will continue to add vegetables to my daily food intake and exercise. I actually got to 179. That is my goal to get out of the 80s and stay in the 70s for at least a week. I don’t need to go back up at all.

Overall, I am proud of myself and what I have accomplished. I will give myself until the end of March to be at least 165. This is obtainable. I just have to stay focused and continue to watch what I eat. I know I can be successful.
