I havent posted in a few months so here is some catching up...I am down about 43lbs...i have been at the same weight for several months now...and part of the problem is that I am having my period every 3 weeks now...my body does not have time to lose all the excess water before I get it back again...I did complete my first triathlon...actually finished it...it just about killed me because the bike course was all up hill...long gradual hills...but i finished...now i gotta lose my other 45lbs and have all my skin removed so that i can do it again and be proud of the pictures...have had very little energy lately...i think that i am depressed...am praying about that...and am ready to get back to losing...i know that I can do this...my boyfriend is looking for a job here...he lives 2 hours away...we want to get married but he wants to find a job here first..that is very important to him...and to me...so pray that God opens that door for us...thanks for your interest...

Ok...I am down 41lbs...just 1 lbs away from being at my pre-kiddos weight where I havent been in about 11 years...of course...I am also about to start my period...go figure...which means 2-2 1/2 weeks of bloating and water weight gain...I would love to hit that 1lbs mark before that starts...just to say thats where I am....I still feel that I look the same...but I have bought a few items of clothes on the regular side of the store rather than the plus and that is a good feeling...but my body is disgusting to me...have no idea what its going to be like when I lose the 50 more lbs that I want to lose....

Well I sit here both frustrated and also more determined than ever...I have now lost 32 lbs in 2 months...that is extremely exciting to me...and I started my period today so it might in fact be more than that...but my frustration comes with the fact that I cannot see it...I look exactly the same to me...HOW CAN THAT BE??? 32 lbs is significant...how can I look the same? I have been walking with my boyfriend Jay on the weekends...We got up early before church and walked 4 miles...faster than my previous miles have been...I even jogged a little bit...I want to get on the bike again...I enjoyed doing that a lot..it was fun...and I think I can ride on the path that Jay and I walked on today...I gotta get back to the gym...its been about 3 weeks since I have been...things have been crazy here...but I will go back this week...I know that I can do this..I just want to start seeing the results on ME...not just the scale..funny a few weeks ago I was complaining because the scale was not my friend but I could tell a difference...guess I am never satisfied...or wont be until all the excess weight is off and my plastic surgery is done...of which I am certain that I am going to have to have....

Well if I doubt if I am losing any...I should look at my activity lately...in the last 2 weeks I have completed a 5k and did a 6 mile walk...I am down another 8lbs and am looking better but still have so long to go....baby steps right....it didnt happen over night so its not going to go away over night...right???....but I am working it...

I am so ready to get back on track..since having my period...I have lingered anywhere from 1-8lbs over where I was...and it is driving me crazy...today is my last day on my period and I am anxious to start seeing more drops than gains right now...I was going along so well..then this....so so frustrating....

I cant believe that it is already a month since I restarted my weightloss journey...I am half a pound away from 20lbs lost...I just cant get over it....I am working toward another 20lb goal next month..and then we will see how fast it goes after that..i anticipate a slow down, but I am working on one mini goal at a time....I cant believe that this is really working for me...Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I work so hard to accomplish this...I know that everyones support is a tremendous support....

I officially weigh less today then I have in 9 years...I am so excited...!!!!!!!

Things are really going good in my journey...I am doing all that I am suppsoed to do and can see results which is very important to me...have lots of habits that I get into to help me...looking at before and after pics helps a lot because I know that if all of those people can do this...there is absolutely no excuse why I cant...I will prevail in all of this...working out at the gym...cruches at home...I still weigh myself way way too much but over all I am very pleased with how things are going...I hate that I cant have the instant gratification that I would like to...lol...but it is still a comfortable pace for me...

Well I am 2 1/2  weeks into my new journey and I feel great..am doing everything right..can barely eat 3 to 4 oz of food per meal..am exercising at least 5 days a week...I can see a difference in my clothes and how I look...but the scale went down to 259.5 and then back up to 264...how could I possibly not be losing the weight...I can see it..but its not coming off the scale..I get very discouraged because I want to mark my loss with lbs as much as by sight..I am working really hard...doing everything right...I wonder if my body is just in shock and is holding on to the weight until it adjusts to this new way of life...I dont know but I want to see some results soon...real results that I can calculate...frustrated but not out for the count...

Well I joined a gym today to help me in my new adventure to lose weight. I work out with a personal trainer tomorrow and I know him..he will be hard on me..but thats ok..I can take it...I am no wuss...I worked out for about an hour today...colored my hair...can see and feel a difference all ready...am so excited about the changes that I am making in my life...cant wait to be the person that I am supposed to be!
