I've been AWFUL

I've managed to put 20 lbs back on. It's depressing as hell...I don't even know what to think about it, to be honest.

Ugh

I know, I know...I suck!

Just wanted to update you guys on my weight loss and ask for some encouragement for future stuff...

I've been looking at pictures of me lately and am VERY happy for myself and my weight loss...

BUT, I've been slacking...and I'm putting a few pounds back on...so I NEED some of you guys to kick my A&& back into gear...

First, check the awesome pics:

Christmas 2006


March (I think)


4 or 5 months ago


A little over a month ago...


Now, I WANT to look like THIS by Christmas of this year...do you think I can manage?

Looks Like I get to be the Happiest Girl in the World!

I finally dipped below 200 so I rewarded myself with an eyebrow piercing...once I hit my goal (which is only about 30lbs to go) I'll get my next tattoo...

In the mean time, I'm working on moving into my new house (we closed yesterday) and we've got to get all packed up. I keep hoping it will magically pack itself but I don't guess that's going to happen at all!!

Thanks to everyone for your cheers & your support. Here are a few pics from my trip to the beach to show you just how far along I've come!!





And of course one of the Piercing just so you all can cheer with me!

Not much to say...

Basically I'm still at a standstill...we're in the middle of trying to buy a house and I'm still working on my diet but I just haven't lost the weight I had hoped to lose by now. I've still only lost 30lbs and while I probably could have put on a good amount of weight last week while on vacation, I didn't. So that gives me some hope...

I just want to get past this plateau...if I could get below 200 I'd be the happiest girl in the world.

It's official!

Yesterday I went to the Dr's office for a different appointment/check-up because of my Sarcoidosis. While I was there I had her check to see what I weighed (according to their scales) back in January.

I'm glad I was there with a DR because otherwise if I had a heart attack based on the info she gave me then she could help me out. I almost fell off my chair! Turns out that I weighed 242 based and now I'm at 211 for their scales.

Now, according to MY scales (which is what I have most access to) I was 235 and now I'm at 204.8 so that's what I'm gonna stick with.

So, off to the official news! I've now lost 30lbs...YAY!!!

I have GOT to stop cheating on this diet and I have GOT to drink more water. The Dr said that I had to exercise more, so I guess I'll have to raise my hands and step away from the computer...*sigh*


I'll be updating my model soon...but for now, I'm just so excited about the idea of having 30lbs down and only 50 more to go!!! YAY!

Moving Models Again & I got a hair cut!

Following my progress here through my virtual model...



I guess I've lost a total of 27 (almost 28) lbs now...I'm REALLY excited about it!

I know, it's been a while...

Again, Todd has beaten me with his weight...he's currently only 6lbs heavier than me and it's really quite depressing.

I know, I'm 5ft 9in and he's 5ft 6in but still...surely it can't be good that he's that close to me in weight, just for three inches.

It's very disheartening & I'm losing a little faith in my ability to stick to this diet... *sigh*

Feeling Really Crappy!

I haven't lost any weight (in fact, I think I put on a pound or two) in a couple of weeks. I had a "bad" weekend where I think we ate out almost every meal. What scares me about this is that I should have learned some sort of discipline or something by now but I haven't. I will eat just about everything that is put in front of me and NOT feel bad about it.

And here's Todd...able to cheat & still somehow about to weigh less than me...not just losing more weight but literally weighing LESS than me. That does nothing for my self esteem at all.

Someone, please give me a "You can do it" talk or something...I'm just not doing so well when I could have sworn I would. HELP!!
