I am so excited! This was just the motivation I needed!
I weighed myself last night before bed and it said...193.6!!
I have been losing it lately. I want to lose this weight so bad.
But I am just exhausted...all the time!
So me and Randy went to GNC last night and I got some B-12 and a Women's vitamin supplement!
I don't know about the stuff he bought! But I took it last night and I didn't eat as much as I would have!
So that's good! This morning I came home from dropping the girls off and did my Slim-in-6 DVD workout!
30 minutes! It felt good. I am still sore from Sunday working out in the backyard.
I really had to push through the workout.
Well hopefully I can stick to it and lose another 10 by my birthday!
That would be 20 lbs!!
Hope you all are sticking it too!!
Lots of Love!!

FINALLY GOT ON THIS BLOG- MAN…
You have to be ready to make LIFE CHANGES or it won’t work! I’m DONE/ENOUGH/TRIED of being overweight! I’m taking control of my food intake and not allowing food to control me!
I can’t believe how freaking easy this is! I like most of you on here are at a constant struggle with my weight (love food)!!!! I have had enough with being overweight, wearing black, and getting into a freaking 1X and starting to accept this as my life– OMG! Enough Is enough! I’m done w/being 204lbs @ 5”3’ tried, unhappy/sexy, not taking pictures, and looking swollen and OLD!!! Heck I’m only 38 I will turn 39 in Feb. I can’t allow myself to settle w/this weight gain... I don’t want to be known as the “pretty fat one!” MAN I HATE THAT...lol I had (2) pinnacle points in my life first one-almost stoking out on the operating table and second- when a 2 year old at chucky cheese called me Ms. Fat lady! I had to make a LIFE CHANGE or else…heading towards diabetes, heart disease, and hyper tension not to mention the extra expense of medications to treat these diseases. My husband and children deserve a healthy mommy and wife. I’m on a mission to myself that I have 1 year to get my crap together before I hit the big 40!!! My goal is to get back to my ideal weight at 145-150lbs to be a healthy, sexy - mother of three, and to reinvent myself in my 40’s – hell just because you hit 40 it’s not the end I’m just starting to live, travel, raise my babies, 40 is the new 30 baby- I can’t go out like this! I’m too dame cute –lol. I have started my journey on December 17, 2010 weighing in at 204lbs and I’m happy to report that as of March 10, 2011 weighing in at 174.4 lbs I’m 30lbs lighter and feel great! I weigh myself every 4 weeks not everyday…I probably have lost more since the 10th of March I feel it in my clothes my next weigh in is on April 6 so I will let you know..
I had a scare back in November 17, 2010 I had a procedure done to lighten my heavy bleeding from my monthly cycles they were lasting 2 weeks at a time yuck! I was always tried, I couldn’t do anything for those 2 weeks it was awful. I had a procedure called Thermachoice endometrial ablation the best thing I have ever done for myself to help relieve this crazy bleeding. Simple procedure was done in my OB/GYN’s office I was under – valium 1 hr before procedure and a local through IV- an hour or 2 later I was on my way to a lighter cycle or if I’m lucky no cycle at all! When they woke me up from the procedure my OB/Gyn and the anesthesia team had a concerned look on their faces and told me that when I have recovered that I must see my primary care physician (PCP)! I said why—he told me that he was going to pull me out of this procedure because he was worried I would stoke out on the table!!! I said excuse me? He said yes I have to push hypertensive meds through your IV to stabilize you while you were under? I freaked out David’s eyes grew big! I was scared so for the next few weeks I was so sick dizzy, nauseated, my sugar was high 218 after I ate anything- so my PCP doctor told me that he will start me on a low regime of hypertensive and diabetic medications and to come back in a couple weeks to evaluate my progress – he wanted me to test myself four times a day and write everything I put in my mouth- I said no to the medications that I in a month will loss the weight and started working out – I begged him to let me try what I have researched I asked him I will put myself on a 1200 calorie a day food intake (NOT- DIET), portion control, and to journal. He said 1 month and I have better lost weight. So, I did it! Ladies my first weigh in at home was on January 10th and I went from 204.4lbs to 194.4lbs! I got off and weighed again – I couldn’t believe it I cried because I was happy then I was angry and said to myself that is it really!!! unbelievable portion control/serving size, counting calories, journaling, and weighing my food s (food scale 20 bucks at Wal-Mart)– heck didn’t know what 2oz, 3oz, or 4oz looked liked- I’m relearning my foods and learning how to make food work for me in my weight loss- taking control back is awesome -
Wow, Chris! I dint know this! Glad you are doing OK! Way to go on losing that 30 lbs!!! It is awesome doing this without the medications! I am not on any "diet" pills either! Just taking my vitamins!!
I hear you on the whole take over your life thing! I have come across that point several times along this journey! I am trying to figure out who I am! I mean I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, but who am "I". I am tired of being this way. Of being the FAT sibling! Of being the FAT friend! Of being tired, out of breathe no matter what I do! Tired of not being able to shop for clothes. Not being comfortable in my own skin. Not being a great example for my girls! I want them to look up to me and be proud of me, Not embarrassed of me! I know my kids and husband love me! No matter what size I am! But I don't love me right now! That's sad to say, right? I have never, in my 32 years of living, ever thought this way. So I have put my foot down and decided today (Back in January) is the first day of the rest of my new life! I will be healthy thin again! I will be happy! I will be sexy! I will be happy with who I am! It's not easy. It is really hard, but every time I fall off this "lifestyle" horse, I get right back up and try it again! I have only lost 10 lbs but that is a really really big deal for me! Since it has taken me 2 months to do so!! Well I hope that everything stays well as far as your health! Keep us posted on here about your journey! I know you guys are busy! Give those beautiful babies a great big hug and kiss for us! Love you much girl!!!
Yes, girlfriend the scare of my life! No more! I’m proud of you! 10 pounds is awesome- keep up the hard work- feels great, clothes feeling lose, girl your feet- you will notice they will shrink- when I lost 10 t0 15 lbs my shoes didn’t fit my cute ballet flats were like flip flops. Just last Thursday I had to go and buy a new bra-my cup size is the same but it’s amazing that you start to lose (my favorite) back fat! Yuck Dam you back fat! Lol – No girl really proud of you keep it up! Just push through and do it- Your right you fall off the wagon get back up and tomorrow is a new day.
I bake, broil, grill, steam, or pan fry w/Pam spray my meats- my veggies the same way steam w/diff low-fat or fat free dressings (2 tbsps) for flavor. Not bad at all really- you have to try mashed cauliflower (like mashed potatoes) really good! Just stem a whole cauliflower then add ¼ cup of low-fat/sodium chicken broth (depending on how soft/wet u them ), 10 sprays of (I can’t believe it’s butter) 0 cals/0fat., ¼ cup of low-fat mozzarella cheese 60cals/2gfat, 1 tsp of any seasons, mash and enjoy really good. I eat a lot of fresh spinach salads w/red vignette/lemon juice. I weigh/measure my foods according to the serving size on the packages of veggies, bags of chicken breast, anything and it’s really enough- I eat! My mid-day snacks I keep at a 100 cals and I really eat about 5-6 times a day keep my metabolize up so I won’t binge at the end of the day you know who that is I eat everything I sight b/c I’m hungry..This way I’m not starving and I make better choices- I still eat at sonic (grilled chk sandwich no dressing) baked chips 1oz (14chips) or small French fries (14), diet coke or water.
What I have learned about food is that it’s all about serving size. Read your food labels!
Go to calorieking.com
Any kind of beans ½ cup only
Raw shredded cabbage ½ cups
Cooked cabbage ½ cups
Wolf brand chili 585 cal – wow I would eat the whole freaking can w/Fritos-cheese.
Weight watchers products they are really good – their ice cream very good! Their Smart ones frozen dinners really good also- I take them for lunch with a cup of salad or green beans etc.
Mom says that I’m not fun anymore when we go out to eat b/c I get the child’s plate or the lunch portion. When they come over for dinner I serve them – when I eat me measure out my foods. Just last weekend we had a fish fry and I asked mom do you what me to grill your fish-shrimp w/mine – no I want fried- I will start on Monday. You know the same o same. I work out in the morning before I go to work that is so freaking hard b/c I used to sleep to the last minute – I get up get Sam ready for school make breakfast for Dave, Sam and Matthew- Madeleine still sleeping - take Sam to school then I used to run upstairs jump in the bed – just a week ago I started with 20 min elliptical then 10 min express buns/thighs, the next day 20 min express Zumba then 10 arms, etc. I have so much energy the whole day/alert which I need for the crazy ppl I deal w/at work. Hugs/kisses to all of you guys -
