Proud of myself

So people are really starting to notice a difference. I have had people tell me they can see it in my face now and i can see a really good change in my body. I ripped my only pair of jeans that fit. They were starting to get a little loose but i didn’t realize they were that loose. I tried on my smaller size jeans and I’m wearing those now. Feels good! I am now at 191 lbs but I’m at 41.5″ That puts me down a total of 3.5″ in my stomach and I’m down 2″ in my thighs. I haven’t been working out well, but i have a deal going with my boyfriend. If i lost 15 more lbs and get down to 175 by march 14th he will buy me a new swimsuit for Florida. So come on people! Push me!!!!!

update

I have been doing excellent sticking to my diet. It has been a struggle but I am doing it. I haven’t lost weight, but I am down another 1/2 inch. So that makes for a total of 3 inches lost in my stomach since the beginning of January. My pants fit a little looser but not much. I am starting to get discouraged. I feel like with as much weight as I can stand to lose, I should be doing better than I am. I want to see more of a difference. I don’t see myself in a bikini in florida. Its my own fault. I haven’t been working out like I should. I have some reasons, but I won’t make excuses. I will just put my foot down and bust my ass. I am so discouraged right now.

Step 5

Isn’t really that difficult considering most of what I eat is under 1,200 calories anyways. I had a REALLY hard day yesterday. I never felt satisfied, not all day. I wasn’t hungry, but I felt like I was missing something. I was craving so much but I am so proud of myself for fighting the urge.

Also, for my cheat day Sunday I had taco bell. I felt so sleepy and sluggish after eating it. I had nowhere the engery I usually have when I eat my healthy food. Lesson learned I guess.

I haven’t weighed or measured myself yet since the last time. But I plan on doing so in the morning. I threw my back out Monday morning so I haven’t been able to work out. I did for a little while today and pushed through the pain. I plan on doing so … I have 6 weeks until FL!! Crunch time is upon me! Send positive vibes!!

Update/Weigh in

Well I am going to be completely honest about how I’ve been doing…

I’ve been rocking it!!! No cheats, no being lenient, just doing it! Tomorrow is my day for a cheat treat. I’m going to have taco bell for lunch. Also, I start the 1,200 calorie diet Monday. Although I have been going under 1,200 daily since wednesday, without even trying. I am not nervous about starting step 5 at all. I know I got this!

Anyways, It’s been 4 days since I weighed and measured. I am down 3.8 lbs and down 1/2 inch in my stomach. I would have to say, I am doing amazing!! I am at 194.6 and 43″ in my stomach. I can’t wait to see the numbers get even smaller in the next 6 weeks

So that’s my good news!!!

Starting steps 2, 3 and 4 … plus weigh in

So I am impatient. I leave for Florida in 7 weeks and 1 day, so I am rushing the whole ”steps” thing. I did step 1, but I’m combining 2-4. I just started yesterday. It has been a struggle, but not as bad as I thought. So this week I am doing steps 2-4 and starting this upcoming monday I will go onto step 5 and 5.5. I have a feeling it will be faily easy because I have calculated my calories for the past 2 days and I was at 1450 and 1250. I will only be on step 5 for 4-6 weeks. Once those weeks are up, I evaluate what habits and such I want to keep, discard and/or be lenient about. I am supposed to lose the most weight the quickest. I am hoping to lose a decent chunk before Florida.

I weighed myself this morning for the first time in 2 weeks, I only lost 1.2 lbs. A little discouraging but not bad because I measured myself and I’m down 1/2 inch in my tummy. So I’m down a total of an inch and a half in my stomach!!! YAY!!! So my stomach is 43.5″ now. My mom, myself and Jason can see a difference already!! I am so proud of myself and I’m so excited to start step 5

Last I checked and beginning step 1

Last I checked (over a week ago) my weight was at 199.8. I checked my stomach and thigh the 16th and I was down a whole inch in both!! So that makes my stomach 44″ and my thigh 26″ I will measure again soon.

 

I started step 1 of the plan Monday and have done amazing with following it to a T. I drink a total of 4 of my 23.7 oz bottle of water. If I drink a pop or a glass of milk then I drink another bottle of water. It seems so simple, but it’s not. I have to be very conscious and aware. The plan says 2 weeks or 1 week if I’m determined. Well I am determined and will be starting step 2 Monday the 23rd.

Beginning Stats

So here they are … the honest measurements. This is as of Jan 2nd.

Height – 5’8

Weight – 202 lbs

Thighs – 27″

Stomach (biggest part of my gut) – 45″

Bust – 35″

I am not focusing on any of measurements going down except the stomach area. I just wanted to see how these numbers changed as well as the weight. My goal weight is 145. I plan on checking measurements atleast weekly. I am unsure how much I will weigh myself, as I don’t want to become obsessed
