Guest Post!

Hello Ladies & Gents!

I am guest blogging over at Heathers Blog!

I am talking all about my Weight Loss!

So go head over and check it out!

{I will be back for Tuesday Weigh In Tonight!}

Tuesday Weigh In: Week 19

Good Afternoon...

Wow, what a busy week!

I have been waiting for this day to come for the longest time.. I've been so close I could taste it..

Well this morning, I took a huge ass bite... Weighed in at:

168lbs..

If you have been keeping track, that is a

50lb weight loss!!!


Yes, I have finally hit 50lbs! It is so unbelievably surreal. I never thought I would have made it this far. It has been so worth the blood, sweat & tears. When I look in the mirror, I see a difference but not a 50lb difference. Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful for this weight loss. It's kind of hard to explain, but when you see yourself in the mirror everyday, its hard to notice a huge difference like others have. Sometimes I still see the big girl or just a lot of loose skin. I have been getting depressed lately because my skin is not bouncing back as fast as I would like it to.

I told myself that once I hit my Ultimate Goal, I will give myself one year to tone and get rid of my "Skin Apron." If I couldn't get rid of it, I am going to get a tummy tuck. I am also going to throw in some new boobies. I have noticed a huge difference in my breast size lately and need it fixed. My left breast is probably a Big C and my right is probably a Big B. They also feel deflated :(

Okay, enough whining!

Here is my Week 19 Picture & My S/S Picture!!

Forgot to mention:

This is the same outfit.

Can you see how baggy it is?!

I would like to thank my Family & Friends for being there for me and being such amazing supporters! I am forever in your debt ♥ Also, Every single one of you who follow my blog or just so happened to stumble upon it! Thank you for the kind words and heartfelt comments.

Tuesday Weigh In: Week 18..

Sheesh, This week has been stressful to say the least..

As the saying goes...

I have burned the candle at both ends..

at least, I think that's how it goes.. haha

My son's first birthday party was on Sunday, so I was running around like crazy and so stressed. You can read about it on my family blog.. But I managed to lose 2lbs while doing it! I ate horribly too.. Triple Double Oreos dipped in both white and milk chocolate, cupcakes, candy and everything else I could get my hands on..

It was rough.

I will start off with my weekly photo..

I actually took this last night. The pooch is finally getting smaller!! Whoo Hoo!!

I am Currently 171lbs

Which means I only have about 40lbs give/take till I reach my main goal!!!

Now for the fun...

These pants were super tight on me in september..

I mean Major Muffin Top tight..

EFF YOU FATTY FAT PANTS!!!!!

And another pair..

A friend of mine said that I should do a side by side of my face..

Well, here ya go!

What a difference!

hahaha don't mind the butterfly!

Have a great week!!!!

Tuesday Weigh In: Week 16/17

Yes, I will admit that I have been slacking on the blog..

I really don't have an answer, I have just been so busy with sick kids, planning a 1st birthday party and everything in between..

So, things have been okay. I am still at 173 and have not budged. I'll be honest, I'm a little disappointed. I have been exercising, eating healthy and all of the other normal things. The weight just wont come off. Starting monday, I am really going to push myself. Like. Really..

I had my monthly appt yesterday and I had only lost about 5lbs this month. My dr said that he was proud of me since I didn't gain anything. I agree, but its just annoying. I am so close to a 50lb loss, I can taste it. Anyways... Enough with my whining!

Here I am at the mall yesterday with a new pair of jeans!

I can't wear them yet, since the chick at jcp left the ink thingy on them.. Grrr!

I promise next week will be a better post and I will have lost some weight!!

Thanks for all of the support!!

Tuesday Weigh In: Week 15

Happy New Year!!!

I hope everyone had a great time! I was asleep by 11p and felt so old lol..

Sorry I have been mia, the family and I were out of state for the holidays. The kids were so spoiled and now I have to get ready for little mans first birthday!

So, here we are!

I made it through the major holidays without gaining any weight!! I might have stalled a little bit, but I am still losing. I can't believe how far I have come. This year is going to be my year! I am going to reach my goal and keep it off! It's a new year!!

For this weeks weigh in, I am down 45lbs!! I am currently 173lbs. It's hard to believe that I am only 5lbs away from a 50lb weight loss!!

Beginning Sizes:

Shirts - 1x-2x 

Pants - 22 or my Maternity Pants XL

Bra - 42D

45lbs Later:

Shirts - Lg

Pants - 15/17

Bra - 38C

It's so hard to believe that I have gone down that many pant sizes!!

Just wanted to say Hello to my new readers! And thank you for all of your kind words!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!!

Vacay!!

I am on vacation until the 30th!

See you next week!!

{over 125lbs lost between us!!}

Weigh In: Week Ten!

Wow...

I can't believe I have been doing this for ten weeks!

Seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in my car, anxiously waiting to take my first pill.. Since then, things have been great!

This past week has been pretty good! Kids are back in school and I can exercise in peace! A-Man has been sick since friday and has been sleeping a lot, so I have been able to get a lot done!

So lets get started before he wakes up and clings to me....


Weight: 182lbs

Lost this week: 3lbs

Total: 36lbs

I thought it would be fun to see how far I have come in ten weeks!!!

I can't wait till Christmas!! All of my clothes are way too big on me and I need new ones!!!

Have a great week!!

Surviving Thanksgiving!!

I actually did it!!!

I survived Thanksgiving!!

AND...

I didn't gain one single ounce!!

That my friends, is something to be proud of!


I made a plan and stuck with it. I was going to eat small portions and not worry about the pies/desserts. I had Turkey, 1/4c green bean casserole, 1/4c mashed potatoes, 1/4c stuffing and 1 roll w/o butter. Even though that doesn't seem like a lot of food, I could only finish half of it.

I did splurge on what I was drinking though.. I had about 4 Mimosas. The rest of the day was water.

I was looking through pictures and compiled a few from the past few years around the holidays...

 {Winter 2008/2009}

 {Pregnant Last Year, Nov. 2010}

 {Early 2009}

{Summer 2009}

And Now...

I am down 35lbs and feel great!!!

I can't wait to reach my next goal!!!

Tuesday Weigh In: Week Seven!

Week Seven is in the books..
After last weeks post, I told myself that I need to get it together. I upped my calories and started working out a little more. I started seeing the numbers going down and kept doing what I was doing. That was until Saturday morning when I woke up with my cheek the size of a baseball {more about that on my family blog}.. So eating and exercising has been minimal, but I am trying.

So when I stepped on the scale this morning after taking all of my meds, I was so excited to see the numbers..

188lbs..

-4lbs

If you are keeping track, that is Thirty Pounds!!

I have not been at this weight since I was two weeks post partum with Allen. I still feel cruddy but I am so happy that I have reached this weight loss goal! I would really like to be at 160lbs by Christmas, but I will take it day by day and see how I do!

{Week Seven, Down 30lbs}

I tried on a pair of Skinny Jeans yesterday morning and they are a few hairs too small. I have a mini muffin top in them, but that is a lot better than a few weeks ago when I tried them on.. :) I can't wait till I can fit into those!!

Hope everyone has a great week! I am going to try and get a workout in while A is napping!

My Biggest...

Tonight I was looking through my pictures and started noticing a similarity..

How extremely big I was.

{This was August/September 2009}

{My 25th Birthday - 230lbs}

{On Tuesday for my weigh in - 193lbs}

I am so glad I am taking my life back!!

Weigh In Tuesday... Week Five!

Wow, I can't believe I have been on this for five weeks already. Seems like just yesterday that I started this new journey. I had made a few bad choices this past week and have been working my ass off to fix it. So far, it's working.

My workouts are constantly changing, that way I am confusing my muscles and my body won't get used to the workouts :) It's working because my body is aching, which is a good thing! I am mixing Walking/Running, 30 Day Shred, Back Fat Busters, and a few more that are on demand. I'm also using my weights a lot.

This week was the first time I measured my arms, chest, waist, hips and legs.. So we will see if anything changes :) I sure hope they do!! I've noticed my clothes not really fitting anymore, and to be completely honest, its one of the best feelings ever! To actually see the results with your own eyes is great. A lot of people are telling me that they see a difference, but I didn't really notice it until my tight clothes became loose! Such a great feeling!

So, here we are, week five stats..

193lbs

I lost 5lbs this week!

That is a total of 25lbs so far!!

So Far....

So Happy!!!!

xoxo

Week Three...

Week Three is over and done with!

I am both happy & sad about it. I thought I was losing more than I thought, but what I lost was still great! I have been walking a lot lately and I am feeling great. On Sunday I walked 3.3 miles, I was so proud of myself! I could have gone longer but my gramma is in town from Tennessee and we had to be at my dads by a certain time.

I have been trying on my jeans that haven't fit in over a year and they are starting to slowly fit! They are a little tight, but I am able to get them buttoned! I also had coffee for the first time in three weeks, yesterday! It was so yummy, I had two cups..

I am happy to report that I met my first Mini Goal!!! I am officially 18lbs lighter and a lot of people are noticing! So without further adieu...

Week Three
200lbs

My Comparison so far!!!

Hope you all have a great week!!!

I will try to blog here more, I promise!!!

xoxo

Tuesday Weigh In...

Week One:

Here is my starting point.. 218lbs

Here is 1 week in at 208lbs

And.. Yes, you read that correctly!! I have lost 10lbs in my first week! I can definitely see the difference in the pictures!! This makes me want to work harder and harder towards my ultimate goal!!

I have been on Phen for 1 week and so far I am loving the results!!! Yesterday I asked my husband if he can see a difference and he said "You look thinner around the mid-section!" You have no idea how great that made me feel!! I have also changed my eating habits for the better. I haven't had any sweets, soda or starbucks for 8 days! That is a big step in the right direction for me. Whenever I am hungry, I will look in the cupboard and ask myself "What is the best snack for me.." I have never done that. It's like I am almost scared to eat something that will get me off track...
