Weekly Weigh In: Jan 15, 2013

I maintained this week, but gained a few pounds over the holiday 7 to be exact. I have lost 3.2 of those sense the new year. I stopped logging my food :( My husband has requested that I get off the diet roller coaster. I explained to him that when I'm not dieting I gain 2 pounds a month. I never had a problem with my weight as a young adult because I was so active. After I had my little boy I lost some of the love, I had for the great outdoors. I'm am striving to enjoy getting out of the house again. My husband is overly active. he snowboards and snowmobiles almost everyday and is probably is around 15% body fat but his family has a history of heart problems that start in your early 30's. regardless of the fitness level.

We have made a commitment to each other to do better. Less dairy, less alcohol, healthier food choices. I have a few bad eating habits, but mostly consume extra calories by liquid i.e. wine. I started doing Hot Yoga with a friend from a Facebook fitness group I'm in and I love it. My goal is to start eating healthier without being on a diet , drinking less calories, cutting our the really bad junk food and junk food binging when I break out of my diet. This week I gave up my daily diet coke and swapped it for water or tea. I feel really good!

I'm going to keep trying to make good choices until valentines day, if I gain 1 pound back. Ill start tracking again. I have to give it a shot. To make healthy choices everyday without a note book in my face telling me how horrible I'm doing. My BMI is currently in the healthy range and I want to keep it that way! Here's to getting off the diet roller coaster.

Weekly Weigh In: November 17th, 2012

I thought I would check in and tell you all that I'm currently maintaining, well kinda. I fell off the healthy food and exercise kick for a minute but I am back on track. I currently weigh 130.2. at 23.2% fat. I feel good everyone says that I look good, but as we all know we are our own worst enemies. I was searching the web trying to figure out what I should weigh for my height and weight and ran across this really cool site that not only tells you what your lean body mass/body fat should be but shows pictures. I think that I need to re-set my goals; as I don't really look the way I want, I think a better exercise plan is in order. I've been researching P90X, Personal Trainers, and I found Body for Life.  I think it's time for me to join the challenge... anyone in?

Weekly Weigh In: Done

I made it. I know that I haven't posted in a while but I'm done cleansing and I think I'm done dieting for a while. I went an entire 14 days without eating on my cleanse. The last couple of days were overwhelming and my head was so clouded that I could not even think. I ended up drinking some protein powder and felt a ton better.,

I have put a couple of pounds back on, which the doctor said I would. I currently weigh 130.6 and maintaining. I fit back into my pre-baby clothing (although, its a little out dated now. LOL.) I feel so good. I feel healthy for the first time in a long time.

Cleanse Day 4, 5, and 6

I've been doing really good on my cleanse. I cheated the other day and had a piece of watermelon, which the doctor said was ok. I'm down to 129.6 pounds as of this morning. I've lost 6 pounds in the last 6 days. Wow. I also am down two pant sizes. Double wow. I'm dumb founded I've lost this much weight this fast, just trying to make my belly feel normal.

I can't believe I haven't eaten in 6 days and I'm not hungry at all. I found out that my body is riddled with parasites. Now that I know, my stomach issues are due to parasites, totally make sense. What google has taught me is that most of my problems I've had in the past 7 years have been from these pests.

Weekly Weigh In: Week 16

I started this week on a happy healthy foot. It was the last week of my weight loss competition. I weighed in on Saturday at 134.7 pounds, I was so excited!!!! Then I weight my self on Sunday only to find that I had not loss the weight but gained. Yikes!!! I didn't let my self get down, thinking Monday was the day. Come to find out I have plateaued. I still weight between 136 and 137 but, it's a new day and a new week.

Here comes a juice fast... I've been battling stomach issues for about 7 years now after eating some bad sushi in Mexico. Yes, I ate the sushi in Mexico. I went to doctor after doctor for years, after finally finding out I was allergic to chicken. Then numerous self test I finally diagnosed myself as animal protein intolerant. Seven years now healthy and happy, and the plague starts again. :( Instead of going to the normal doctor I chose to go to a naturalists. The plan is to cleanse, detox, then reintroduce probiotics. So, for the next 14 day I get to eat limited liquids. I get as much blended kale, chard, collard greens and banana's. I hate bananas. They have allowed me to use apples instead.

Today, I weighed in at 136.4. I wanted to eat so bad I started cooking. I accidentally ate a bite of red beet today. Other then that, I'm feeling full on my "shakes." My stomach feels good for the first time in awhile. Hi ho cleanse, 13 more days to go.

Weekly Weigh In: Week 14

I lost 1.4 pounds this week. I weighted a little less yesterday, maybe it's my daily fluctuation. Any way, I'm still really happy with my loss this week. I'm starting to look the way I want. I wasn't even self conscious to ware my swimming suite yesterday! Hooray to another great week.
Just 16 more days till my weight loss contest weight in. I've seen some of my friends from our contest and they look great too! Looks like I've got to step things up.

Weekly Weigh In: Week 13

A great week in the weight loss. I lost 2.4 pounds this week! I'm back on track and feeling really happy about it. I have lowered my calorie intake down to what the loseit! app says will get me 2 pounds a week. I think its working. I also have stopped having my glass of wine at dinner. I also longer eat bread products. I feel like I have tons of energy and feel like bouncing off the walls, kinda crazy eating less is giving me more energy...

I'm not sure how I'm doing in the weight loss contest, but I think even if I don't will I'll be super happy.

Weekly Weigh In: Week 12

I fell off the wagon :( but luckily I'm back on and moving down the road. In the last 4 weeks I gained 1.5 pounds. I'm still at a 6 pound loss. I'm super mad at myself that I gave up, well more like got discouraged.

I have joined a weight loss competition, right now we have 10 people in the contest. It's a $25 buy in winner takes all. I'm super motivated to win. I would really like to buy some new cloths. The contest ends on August 7th. If I work super hard and I am very diligent, I think I can make up the 6 pounds I should have lost last month plus the 1.5 I gained. If I do it will keep me on track to reach my weightloss goal by August 8th.

To give myself more of a motivator

Weekly Weigh In: Week 8

I lost .6 pounds this week. Not my best week for weight loss but I'm really happy with it. I have made it over one of my big weight loss humps. I have lost weight 46 pounds since I had my son and every time in the past when I reach my current weight I plateau, get discouraged, then stop trying.

This week was extremely difficult for me I was challenged every day with choices to eat unhealthy foods, sometimes I gave in but most of the time I didn't. I know that I could easily slip back into old habits. Yesterday, I took my son to the Zoo on a whim I didn't pack a lunch and leaving me with slim choices of fast food. I ate french fries and felt horrible after.

I went to my class reunion last night. One check off the list of fattening nights. I am excited for this week. I plan on being good and following my weight loss plan. My loseit tracker tells me I'm on track to reach my weight loss goal by August 8th. I truly believe that I can continue to lose weight easily, stay on track.

Weekly Weigh In: Week 7

 

Another week of success 1.2 pound!

This was a great week. I didn't stay perfectly on track. I took the holiday off on Monday and went to movie. Yes, I ate the Popcorn. I did exercise but not gross amounts like last week. Yesterday I was actually 2.2 pounds lost but I think the popcorn set me back a little.

I feel like I am starting to make better choices on food without even looking at the label. I did find that Budweiser Select 55 is a great choice when you are BBQing. I don't feel like I'm missing out on the fun, or feel guilty for drinking to many calories. 

Cheers to another week of success! 

Weekly Weigh In: Week 6

I lost another 1.6 pounds this week bringing me to a total of 5.6 pounds. I ran 15.9 miles this week!

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't lose more weight this week, with how hard I worked. I do think that I may be building muscle. My mom and husband say I look like I have lost a lot more then I actually have. I do have to say I'm really close to my plateau weight. I'm only 1 pound from the thinnest I've been since I was 15 weeks prego. 

I'm really excited about my new found energy! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to run a full 26.2 mile marathon in the fall or just a half marathon. I have never competed in running, so the thought of running that distance kinda frightening but has been a goal of mine for a long time. I can now run for about 5 miles straight!

Weekly Weigh In: Week 5

I'm still on my weight loss plan!

I haven't posted in the last 3 weeks about my weight loss but I am still going strong. I have not lost as much as I really wanted to at this point, but I am happy that through out the move, traveling, and settling back in that I have lost some weight. 

I wasn't able to take my weight on May 5th due to the fact that we had packed my scale. I did step on my moms scale the second we walked in the front door, right off the airplane. Yikes! I was so upset I had gained 2 pounds. After a few days of jet lag and some healthy eating later I jumped on my scale (5/10) and had actually lost 0.8 of a pound. I decided that I am happy with this number even though its below what I was hoping for. I had an idea that the loss wasn't going to be significant, if at all. We went to tons of BBQ's and dinner parties right before we left. I find it much harder to decipher how many calories are in other peoples cooking. 

My May 19th weight in I lost 1.8 pounds! I have been running every other day and am starting to feel like I'm getting back in shape. I have enlisted one of my best friends to diet with me, she is doing well also. I have had a life long goal of running a marathon and have decided to run a half marathon this fall. I ran 3 miles yesterday without stopping, with my fastest time ever. The only problem is that I'm so hungry when the days I run. Any vegetarian suggestions? 

As of today I am 4 pounds down, 1.5 pounds away from my smallest after baby weight, and 18 pounds from pre-husband. Looking forward to not fitting in my after baby cloths anymore. 

Week 2

I lost 1.4 lbs this week! I really was worried that I wasn't going to loose any thing. I didn't do any extra exercise like I was planning. I also didn't take into account that we were only going to be eating food that we have left in the house, defiantly made thing a little harder. Over all it really didn't feel like I was on a diet!

Brock has been super supportive and even complimented me on how thin my waist is starting to look. My original plan was to loose about 1.5 lbs a week. I went over calories every day by about 150. I really felt like I need the extra calories. I'm going to stick with 1350 calories a day instead of the original 1200. If I loose another 1.5 next week I'll know it's a good fit!

Happy weight loss...

The Baby Fat

A good friend of mine Brookie from brookiesbabybargains.blogspot.com brought me into the light of our 10 year class reunions, and to top that off we have a family vacation we are trying to
plan, my girl friends from college want to go on a road trip, and a wedding!

Omg... Four years ago I weighted a whopping 125 lbs. I'm now sitting 22 lbs heavier after having my now 3 year old. To make matters worse I was only 15 lbs away just 3 months ago. My neighbor even mention how much weight I look like I've gained :((

The challenge is to loose 15 lbs, getting down to the low 130's before the end of June. Then continue into the 120's. Last time I was really dedicated to weight loss I lost 25 lbs in 9 weeks, with weight watchers.

Because of my previous goal to simplify life I have decided to use the free lose it! App for I phone, and jogging for exercise.

Here go the battle!
