Gearing Up

We are all gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Out here in Southern California it's summer weather. I am a winter girl and want it to be cold and it's crazy hot!!! This week I am down to 156.7lbs. I am 6.7 lbs til my birthday goal weight. I am so close and so excited. Maybe I will be at my final goal by my birthday!!! We will see...one goal at a time for me :) I love that I am getting to my goal week by week and lb by lb. In the beginning I set an achievable goal and I have been determined to get there and here I am 6.7lbs away. I am thankful for every lb I lose because I know I am getting healthier. Getting healthy outweighs any piece of cake or spoonful of ice cream!!!

Obese to Normal

When I started my journey I was in the obese category and now I am in the normal range. I cannot tell you how exciting it is. My goal is so close. I am so excited to be in the normal BMI range. I lost 2.2lbs and now weigh 159.2. In the entire time that I have been with my husband he has always weighed less than me. Well now I weigh less. That is another goal that I wanted for myself. Not to feel better than him, but when we first got together he could carry me and give me piggy back rides but then I gained so much weight that I wouldn't let him for fear of me hurting him. Well..now I will be able to get piggy back rides again and he can lift me. I have 9.2lbs to get to my birthday goal. This has been an amazing journey thus far and I know it has been worth it. Cheers for getting in the Normal Range on my Wii!!!

over 50

yep i have now lost over 50lbs. i have lost 51.6lbs. I am 161.4lbs and only 11.4lbs away from my birthday goal. I am getting very excited. my goal is so close!!! I have not strayed once thus far and it is paying off for sure. I am just now able to recognize that i am thinner when i look in the mirror. I am happy about that as well. people say when you are overweight for so long, when you lose weight you still see your old self in the mirror. so if you are on the journey to losing weight and still see your old self in the mirror - have no fear it will come when one day you will the change.

Wonky Weather

Yep that's what I said - SD is having very WONKY weather this week. my allergies kicked in and alas they have turned into a cold. Sadly I am missing church because I would hate to pass this on to anyone. Despite my cold I did weigh myself today, though I was tempted not to, I did. I lost 3.7 lbs. I am now a member of the 160's club. I weigh 167.3lbs. I have 17.3 to reach my first goal. I have about 16.5 weeks until my birthday and I need to lose 17.3 lbs. Looks reasonable!!! :) Anyway I am gearing up for some new products for my business and hosting a fundraiser for 2 friends of mine. I sure do miss church - but I'm sure they appreciate me not spreading my germs to everyone!!! Have a great week. See you at the next weigh in!!!

Past Couple of Weeks

As yo know my aunt died. She was my great aunt. So many childhood memories and adult get togethers. My grandma (her sister) lost her best friend and that was so hard to see and listen to. My cousins lost their mommy and other cousins lost their grandma. It was a rough couple of weeks but its getting better. The kids are doing great in soccer and absolutely love it. 2 weeks ago i gained 0.4 and last week i lost 0.4. So really the last 2 weeks i lost nothing. This week I lost 3.5. I am now down to my pre-pregnancy weight with Moriah. I haven't seen these numbers since that time. I'm pretty excited. At that time i was trying to lose weight. I'm still overweight but I feel good. i am happy that my body didn't give up and that i didnt give up during these weeks of frustration of not losing weight. My goal is getting closer and closer and I am really excited!!!

Emotional Eater

I have always known that I was an emotional eater. My Aunt Velma passed away last night. I am struggling so hard not to eat everything in my house. I am thankful Take Shape For Life is a regimented program. If I was on another program like Weight Watchers I would've eaten all of my points already. I am really fighting it. It's so hard. I am relying on God to get me through and to not use food as a crutch for how I am feeling but only for what it is supposed to be used for and that is to nourish my body. I need to rely on God to help with the feelings of sadness and allow Him to comfort me. Please pray for my family. Thank you

Fall

Fall is in the air - As I snuggled with Christian this morning and my room was not sweltering hot - it reminded me of some of my fondest moments, snuggling with my mom in her bed. I love the crisp air, the smells and the family fun that happens in the next few months. I am a winter girl. I'd rather be cold and I love the rain. I hope we go to the snow again this year. The kids loved it last year. This is an exciting time!!!!!

Even at a Retreat

This weekend I went to a Women's Retreat with my church. I still lost 1.8lbs. I have about 24.5lbs til I reach my first goal. I'm really excited!!!!

170's

Hi friends - I am now a member of the 170's!!!! I am so excited!!! I lost 4.9lbs this week. I weigh 176.4. I have lost 36.6 lbs in 12 weeks. I'm sure many people think that this is too fast. That's what's great about Take Shape For Life is that when I get to where I want to be - I will be able to maintain. I'm so thankful they don't leave me high and dry to gain the weight back. With an awesome program I will be able to maintain!!! Next week I am going to a Women's Retreat!!! So I will weigh myself on Mon. I'm pretty excited to be in the 170's. I am 5.4lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight with Moriah. Though I was overweight when I got pregnant - I haven't seen these numbers in a long time. Here's to being healthy!!!!

Another great weight loss week

this week i am down 3.8lbs. i am at 181.2. I can't believe i am almost in the 170's. This is the best program!!! We are adjusting to Eric's new schedule. I am enjoying helping my TSFL clients get healthy. One of my clients lost 7lbs this week!!! that person is now under the 200's. What a great accomplishment!!! I can't wait to see how my other clients are doing!!! YAY!!! for getting healthy!!!

Update

this week i am happy to announce that i lost 3.5lbs. I am so excited. So far i have lost 19.5lbs in 6 weeks. I am very happy and can't wait for the next 19.5lbs!!!

the small picture...

sometimes the small picture is bleek or not what you expected. But when you look at the big picture its great!!! This week i only lost 0.9lbs. (almost 1 lb). compared to the past month it doesn't seem like much but if you look at what i have lost so far total i have lost 16lbs in 5 weeks. That's the big picture and that is wonderful!!!

Looking forward to weighing myself

I don't know about you but i have never looked forward to weighing myself. i always knew that i hadn't lost much and it would be depressing to see how much my hard work had not paid off. With my new program I look forward to weighing myself. I am now under 200lbs. I am at 198lbs. I lost 2.7 lbs this week. In 4 weeks I lost 15lbs. That;s an average of 3.75 lbs per week. I am so happy with this program. My mom said that on average every 10lbs is a pant size down. My clothes are too big and my husband has to go into the attic to get me some clothes that I can fit into. At VBS this week my pants kept falling off and I had to keep pulling them up as not to flash anyone. Anyways, I really am happy and can't wait to continue to lose weight.

weekly update

I lost 4.2 lbs this week. I am so excited. I am almost under 200lbs and couldn't be happier!!!! Happy july 4th everyone!!!

This weeks weight loss journey

this week we went to the fair and i stuck to the program, im so proud of myself for resisting any temptations thus far. this week i lost 3.8lbs. I'm so excited. I love weighing myself and actually look forward to it. I still love the food and the results. i have struggled with losing weight for so long and to actually be losing weight is such a blessing to me. i've tried so many different programs inc. trying to do it on my own. this is the best program i have ever tried.

First week on Medifast

This first week is not what you would consider an easy week to be losing weight. We've had so many temptations this week. Eric has been on vacation so we've been doing family stuff pretty much all week and have not been home. Boy have we had a wonderful week. Cabrillo Nat. Monument, Wild Animal Park, tidepools, Ontario to the Rainforest Cafe - and other stuff I cant remember at the moment. Anyways...I have resisted all temptations this week and it has surely paid off I have lost 4.6lbs in 1 week. I am so excited!!!!

My Weight Loss Journey

Since I started my business things have been so busy!!! I love it!!! On Sat. I started something called Medifast. I'm super excited about this. I hope to lose all of this weight by my 30th birthday!!! So far so good!!!! I have resisted temptation and am doing really well :)

It's been a while

We are now into the month of Jan 2010 and quite a bit has been going on. Eric and I are working out on our new Wii Fit Plus - we absolutely love it! I have lost 3 lbs so far this month, which I'm pretty happy about. I have done quite a bit of b-day/christmas shopping this year already. my newest addiction is making bows for hair accessories. I have become a ribbon junkie so stay tuned to see what treasures I create.
