Lose 60 lbs

I have cut out all the sara lee apple or mixed berry pie with a half gallon of ice cream in one sittng. I have cut out eating a full box of kelloggs berry crunch cereal with a half gallon of milk in one sittting. My problem was and is portion control.
I started Wellbutrin for depression 2 weeks ago and since the first day, I stopped binge eating. Wellbutrin is also prescribed as a smoking cessation treatment and now it is being tested for for being marketed as a weight loss medication. I can tell you that it IS the miracle pill. All the celebrities that have lost weight, Valerie bertinelli, Marie Osmond, etc, I would bet ALL the money that I have that they are on Wellbutrin. And its BECAUSE of the Wellbutrin that they now eat healthy balanced meals. I was and (still am, if I stop the Wellbutrin) a junk food sugar addict. I would eat and eat and EAT, until I was in pain and then wait for 15 minutes eat again, until I would just pass out from the sugar content I guess. Day 1 of Wellbutrin, I was eating whole wheat pita with/balsamic salad dressing/carrots/radishes/tomatos/and alfalfa. And only one sandwich not 5 of them. Wellbutrin also is doing a great job at treating my depression. Before I was so hopeless and sad, and now I am hopeful about my future and able to handle returning phone calls/paying bills/dealing with daily stresses much better. I tried Lexapro a few years ago, its an antidepressant also but will make you eat and eat and eat, and also induce manic behaviour, and didnt take away my depressionl. Wellbutrin(or buprionon) just makes me feel normal, minus the overwhelming anxiety and depression. So far the only side effect is that I don’t have a ravenous appetite. so its a great side effect.

Sigh…what to say…I am noticeably out of shape, I can’t hardly life 40 lbs without hurting myself, I’m flabby and pasty…how did I let myself backslide this much in 9 months?

Ah well…I felt I had to be honest, with myself and those doing this with me. Now that I am aware, I need to get back on the horse. Back to walking and working out and no more laziness!

I gained a bit of weight so now it’s 10 lbs until I reach the goal of losing 60 lbs!

South Korea. What a great way to lose weight. Move to a country where it’s hard to find all the old comfort foods, and the new food is so strange that you just don’t feel like gobbling it all up. Then add in the too broke to eat out much factor and the no car, must walk everywhere part and VOILA! 27lbs fell off in 3 months! WORD.
I fear a plateau though, now that I’ve learned where to get the good food and I have more money…...must add more rigorous exercise to my routine.

I’m 2.6 lbs away from achieving this goal! I’m so excited. Every little bit of weight I lose, puts me closer to completing this goal.

I can’t believe that I’m 3.4 lbs away from losing 60 lbs, and achieving this goal! It’s taken me nearly 20 months to get to this point, but it’s worth it, even though it’s taken a long time. I’m so happy! :-)

It has been a little over 2 years since I worked on this goal, but now I am at the point in my life where I can finally re-open this goal, and work on it.

Just to re-cap what has happened since my last entry;
I had a baby, gained a lot of weight (despite my efforts not to gain much weight), lost most of the weight gained during my pregnancy, and am now working on losing weight again.

I have lost 55 lbs since having my baby so that means I have 5 lbs until I reach 60 lbs lost. Once I reach the 60 lbs lost, I still have another 40-45 lbs to go.

I will document the remaining 5 lbs to reach 60 lbs here, and record the entries for the last 40-45 lbs elsewhere.

This is a goal that I am determined to complete!

I can do it!

A few years ago I was thin. I weighed around 105 lbs and I was happy, I went out, enjoyed myself, but recently life, got hard, I stopped having fun being active, and ate.
I now weigh 159lbs.
I would love to get back to how I was before, but just being 120-130 would be good.
I am Fed up of being fat.

I used to be tiny in high school. I was the cheerleader who was on top of the pyramid. Then, I moved away to a place where I knew no one, and I became quite stagnant. Going from playing basketball, cheerleading, cross country, and track, to doing nothing physically had it’s affect. I’m now 190 lbs. I’d love to lose 60 of it so I can be back to the weight I was in high school. Maybe it’s unrealistic, but I at least one to try.

I’m horrible at starting diets, sticking with them for a week, and then going off. From January to the end of February, I worked out religiously every day. I got a new job working nights (and going to school during the day) so I was exhausted and quit working out. This week is my last week at this job, so I’m going to start getting into the habit again. Hopefully. :-)
