working out!

My BFF gave me a pass to join Fitness USA for $5.00 (fee) and $12.00 a month for 6 months. I joined last week and have worked out twice! I am so sore, especially the triceps area!

I am proud to say that my total weight loss since Mid-May is..... drumroll please..... 12 pounds! So if there are a bit more than 4 months till the wedding and I continue to lose 1-2 pounds a week, minimum- then I could possible have lost 35-50 pounds by the wedding!! HOLY CRAP!

I am at 237.9 pounds right now.. and would be in HEAVEN if I could be under 200 in time for the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!! How amazing would I feel THEN on that day!

Thanks for your support girls:) You help me through this SO much too!!!

2 months ago, I NEVER thought I could be doing this!! BUT I AM:)

and another...

...another pound that is!! That makes my weight loss so far 9 lbs in just under six weeks! I feel so much better, my pants are looser in the waist!! Oh man, if another 20-30 could fall off before the wedding, I'd be feeling like a little sex kitten on our wedding night... MEEEEOOOOOWWW!! LOL
Sorry if that was too much information for ya'! I am just so HAPPY!!

I rarely snack and if I do its a string cheese or Atkins protein bar. I hardly feel all that hungry either; compared to when I was stuffing my face with junk all day long!!

I am so thankful for my new dr. and their nutritionist and... for all YOUR support too:)

Hugs,

take 2 MORE!

I am thrilled!! I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 8 pounds in a little over a month! That mean THIS IS WORKING! To me, I feel my tummy has gone down some, my pants fit more comfortably in the waist too. I feel like to REALLY see the difference, I need to lose quite a bit more. When you are a "BIGGER" person, a few pounds of weight loss doesn't show as much! I know its going and it makes me feel so good!

Yay for me:)

guilty!

Guilty as charged! I've cheated... not on my future hubby but on my diet!!

A slice of yumm-o cake the other day, potato chips last night with dinner... SOOO BAD!

I am starting to despise VEGGIES!! A girl can only eat so much of these!!

I need to get back on track or the dr. will be giving me some bad news on the 29th... NO CARBS! Eeek... the little bit that I can have is hard enough, I can't imagine not having any!!

Any good and tasty recipes with veggies in them that you can share with me? Websites for recipes?

Help a sista' out please!!!!!!

the "diet"

Hi there!

I think I am finally adjusting to my new way of eating. The hub-to-be paid me a compliment last night at dinner, he said I am doing a really good job on sticking with my dr.'s orders as to how/what I am supposed to eat. That made me feel SO good!

I have lost a total of 6.5 pounds; 2 in just the last week in a half. I eat lots of veggies at lunch and dinner. Have cut out almost all of the nonsense snacking that I have done in the past. I only drink Coke Zero, or will try another type of Diet pop, so there are no empty calories there anymore. I am still having a tough time with cereal but as long as I take a smaller amount of it and link it with some protein, such as some nuts or a protein shake (the Atkins ones are GOOD!), I am ok.

I did have a piece of cake tonite at my moms- BAD!! I did drink a protein shake when I got home, to hopefully balance out the carbs.

My next dr. appt is on the 29th of this month. I feel like I need to lose another 5 pounds or they may tell me that I have to TOTALLY cut out ALL carbs! That would SUCK!! I need to exercise more too, I've been walking but am thinking of joining a gym too. I was gonna do Curves, but was getting the run-around from the woman who wanted to sign me up. WEIRD!

I am curious to see where I will be at the end of summer with this diet. I already feel better and am getting a bit more energy:) Of course, sleeping in everyday helps that too.

The wedding is only 5 months away now... time is ticking for me! I want to look WONDERFUL on our big day... think I can pull it off? If I lost 20-30 pounds by then, and deflated this massive belly... I would be THRILLED!!!!

how did i not know?

OK, I MUST BE OUT OF THE LOOP BECAUSE HERE I AM FREAKING OUT THAT I CAN NO LONGER HAVE POP, PER DR.'S ORDERS!!

COKE ZERO HAS NO CALORIES, NO CARBS AND NO SUGAR!!! HALLELUIA!!!!!!!
IT DOES LEAVE BIT OF AN AFTER TASTE BUT NOT AS BAD AS DIET POP DOES!

I MIGHT SURVIVE THIS NEW LIFESTYLE CHANGE/DIET CHANGE AFTER ALL WITH A SWIG OF COKE ZERO!!
