Weigh In Week 11

I LOST 2.2 Pounds...BUT not only that I've reached 30 pounds lost!!  I still can't believe it.  I struggle each day to control my eating.  I get upset and the first thing I do is think...i need something to eat!! 

I am still taking it day by day and pound by pound.  How has your week been?

I'm STILL here!! Week 10 Weight In

Well I just wanted to stop in and say I am still around!  It has been such a stressful 3 weeks.  We are still living with my parents...but making progress on our bathroom.  I did not weigh in last week because we were going to go visit an elderly couple from our church.  But that got cancelled.  Knowing that I wasn't going to be weighing in made me think I could just eat eat eat.  I felt horrible all week!

I am going to weigh in around 6pm tonight.  I think I'm down but not really sure.  I have not been really keeping track of what I'm eating. 

I am SO close to loosing 30 pounds total I can taste it.  I just need to get up over this hump.  I've posted updated pictures on my side bar.  I do not see a difference but can feel it in the way my clothes fit...or don't fit.

I LOST!!!  3.6 pounds!  I have a little over one pound to go before loosing 30 pounds.

Week 8 Weigh In

I reached another mile stone tonight!!! 

LOST.... 4.9 pounds

Making a grand total of 26 pounds lost since in 8 weeks!!

I was asked tonight what I did this week.  The only thing I can say is I've been eating! LOL!  BUT I make sure I know and am aware of what I'm putting in my mouth.  I measured and counted everything.  That helps so much.  I've also been cooking very healthy foods. 

For the first time in a long time I've felt SO good and have been able to go outside and play with my kids.  We have been playing baseball, kickball and soccer.  We are doing a lot of physical activities.  I LOVE IT!!

WEEK 7 weigh In

I have been SO busy!  My sister had a baby on Thursday last week and I've been all baby crazy!!  We are approaching the end of our homeschool year and we are preparing for our exams.  The weather has been so nice that I have been out side working in the yard and gardens.  We have 2 gardens full of peas, and I've been working on my herb garden.  OK enough of that....now onto my weigh in.

This week I LOST 3.0 pounds!!  I was aiming for 4 pounds loss to make up for the week before...3 pound gain.  But I'll take it!! 

I made this the other day for lunch!!  I loved it so I thought I'd share it with you!

Week 3 Weigh In

Just came back from my weigh in...I lost .6 pounds!  Hey I'm happy its a loss.  I was worried this week because of the huge weight loss I had last week. 

I've been doing really great on my food intake.  I have my snacking under control, even in the evening!!  That in itself is an accomplishment!

I work out everyday with the Wii.  I haven't done the Richard Simmons DVD in a few days.  I'm really enjoying the Wii.  My husband has even started using it as well.  I've been doing the Biggest Loser and the Wii Fit Plus. 

So how has your week been going?

Beginning Weigh In

Well last night I had my starting weigh in.  Boy am I glad I went to the doctor last week so I knew "sort of" what to expect.  I was actually mortified at how much I actually weigh.  I look in the mirror and many times I don't think I weigh that much.  I'm still embarrased to put my weight on my blog.  How on earth did I let myself get to be like this? 

The good news is I'm more determined than anything to loose weight and get healthy!  Just wanted to check in and write how I was feeling about last night.  I'm not sure my husband is completely on board with me loosing weight...I don't know why because I was much thinner when we met.  But this is something I AM going to do.  I'm tired of being sluggish.

Ok off to workout...Sweatin to the Oldies III...I used this video years ago.  It is just right for me to start out with.  I pray everyone is doing well.  Could you guys let me know...what has worked for you in terms of exercise.  We can not afford a gym membership.  We bought a Wii and I'm waiting for the Biggest Loser game to come in the mail.  I can't get out and walk because of the 3 feet of snow outside...LOL!
