Virtually Me


So here's the latest Before/Current. :)

The other great news is that I fit into some clothes that I wore 3 years ago.  This is a really really really great thing.

20 down!!!

I've been super sick this past week, and dropped 3 pounds... which let me hit my new grand total of 20.2 pounds lost!!! I'm so excited and shocked.

I hear that once you hit the first 20 the rest comes fast. I hope that is true.... If so, holy crap!



So yeah!!! Here's to the next round. Oh, and I'm only 1.8 pounds away from hitting a huge goal. yayyyy

take THAT!

Despite gaining .4 pounds the week before, I lost 1.2 pounds this week!!

I'm now down 17.2 pounds. I didn't track for a week or so, (my food) and made some bad choices. I've been doing much better this week and bam! I'm losing once again. I'm excited.

I think I will reach my next goal by the end of May.

I can now fit into the size smaller than what I've been wearing for a few years and am very excited. They fit, but aren't roomy enough yet, so I will wait a few more weeks before buying anything.

I just went grocery shopping again and going to get back into my groove.

p.s. I am most probably going to be going to Hawaii in July... I think it will be a great reward for my loss so far. While I'm not super ready for bathing suits, I'm closer than I've been in a few years. I think it'll re-inspire me too.

WOOHOO

I lost another 2.6 pounds!! YAY!!! I was prepared to be disappointed from eating more than I should have on that business trip last week.... but I did it! Yay!

I'm down 16.4 now and ridiculously excited. I need to figure out how to celebrate now! :)

I can't believe I'm already just a few pounds away from my big 22 pound goal.

Hell yes!

rollercoaster week

So this week, I had to weigh in a day early, due to a business trip. I didn't lose anything this week....which i'm actually ok with. I've steadily been losing, and didn't do as great this past week. It just got worse though. On my business trip, we had nothing but decadent food. It's so hard to be good when your options are rich or heavy foods! I didn't track anything, but I'm kinda ok with it.

I'm home now, and just walked the dog 1.75 miles. I just kept turning corners and walking further. I could have done a bit more, but he was looking really tired. I think I'll walk with a water bottle next time so he can have a drink.

I had my iphone with me w/ headphones and listened to my favorite pandora radio station....songs related to the artist Just Jack. It's PERFECT and makes me happy.


I'm going to keep this up - I had a good time walking and the pup is more than satisfied :) yay!

Weigh In #8 i think

Doooo da do doooo! I lost another pound. Hooray!

The true challenges this past weekend have been me not tracking anything since Friday, eating a burger (and my first helping of fries since Feb!), going to a dinner party, and just being pretty crazy-busy. I survived yet again though and feel good about it. I think I have finally figured out how much to eat and what choices I should make when I am eating. It's good.

Yay.

Yet another Weigh In

Well - - I expected the worst tonight. Why? Because I had an insane week this past week and drank beer and celebrated a great event that I put together.

Thankfully though, despite that, I lost another 1.4 pounds! this puts me 12.8 down. Yay! I can do normal things and still lose weight. Hooray!

I'm waiting right now for another king ranch casserole to cook. I'm super excited to eat it. It'll be a good celebratory dinner.
