A Girl has got to eat.

The pics are a fantastic account of your journey so far!!! Wow you have done well girl!

:hurray::hurray::hurray:
 
Thank you everyone. I think there's another thing this message board is teaching me, and that's how to accept a compliment. So thank you again.

I was real nervous about posting those pictures, but I'm glad I did. The camera never lies, and seeing myself keeps me in line and prevents me from growing complacent. It's true that I've accomplished a lot, but I'm not through yet. Not by a long shot :)

I'm growing more and more excited about my weigh day this week. Even though it's that time of the month, I'm hoping for a good number. I've done a lot of extra work in the yard, so I'm hoping it'll pay off a little on the scale. I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but I really want out of the 250s!
 
Good luck with the weigh in! :) I've heard that you burn 200 extra calories when Aunt Flo visits. Not sure if that's true, but its nice to think about. Heh.
 
Thanks, Dreaming! Tomorrow is the day so I guess we'll have to see.

I woke up feeling kind of lousy today. I suppose it has to do with that time of the month. Headache. Cramping. Dreading working out. I'll go, but I really dislike going when I'm bleeding. It's just not an enjoyable workout since I'm always preoccupied with thoughts of leakage. lol.

Goodness sake. I should just retitle this diary, "Dear Period, I hate you. Get lost, you bitch." ;)
 
On a more positive note, I cannot wait until the Biggest Loser finale tonight. I bet some of those transformations are going to be amazing. I'm especially looking forward to seeing Daniel.

I hope Tara wins.
 
hi ymca, i'm not sure i've posted in here but i want to say great job thus far, you've come a long way and i wish i have alread lost what you have lost lol. my day will come. i too and awaiting the day i lose my extra chin. its driving me insane! i'm like 50 pounds isn't enough to ditch this thing yet! man. I figure another 20-30 lobs should do the trick. i haven't read too much of you diary, but when i get to work i'll finish it up. i need to hit the showers after a nice workout and i'll be back later. hope all is well and take care.

I haven't been watching this season. Maybe I should tune in for the finale though, they'll still show the before and afters.
 
LOL on period comment hehehe!

Hope you are doing well today despite the dreaded Aunt Flo being in town!!!
 
Hi kureransu, thank you very much, and your day will come. Quicker than you even realize.

That extra chin of mine is crazy. I was even pulling on the skin and trying to make it do push-ups (lol), but then I got a little nervous that I may be stretching it and instead of a chin, I'll end up with jowls! It doesn't help that by genetics I have a round shaped face, so any additional weight on me is magnified. But yeah, here's to hoping that we lose them soon. Chin Chin! ;)

Dreaming, the finale is 3 hours this year and it starts at 7pm CST. This year they've had the heaviest contestants on in the history of the show, including a young man weighing over 400 pounds and a woman weighing in at close to 390. I cannot wait to see the transformations!

lol, thanks, Kori. My day went pretty well all things considered. I hauled my butt up to the gym and gave it a good workout. After that, I went and saw my therapist and she once again confirmed that I'm not crazy, lol, so all and all it wasn't too shabby.

I'm anxious for my morning weigh in. On one hand, I feel it'll be good, but on the other, I'm thinking it might not be as much due to the monthly. Arrrgh. Guess we'll see!!

LOL! i really DREAD those days too, my first and second days are the absolute worst because i'm in pain that no amount of medication can cure and get no sleep on those nights either and just like you said we have to constantly worry about leakage! i get so paranoid sometimes about it too...lol!

wow its so nice to have girly talk!

Oooh, I watched it, it was pretty awesome. That older man did unbelievable. :) I tried to see if they had the episodes online, but I can't find any. It's a very cool show to watch while you're losing weight. Hm, maybe I'll rent the season if its available.

Good luck with your morning weigh in :)

Yay for you for being sane still :hurray:

I actually enjoy being a little bit insane sometimes tho I must admit!!!
 
lol Cherry, at my highest weight my period wasn't so bad... 3 days with one being heavy. I have noticed though that my period now is more like 4 days with 3 days being heavy. Maybe my body is now regulating itself.

Dreaming, I was so happy for Jerry winning the at home prize, and even though Tara didn't win, I liked that Helen came out of nowhere and blew them both away. I hope she does put back on a little bit more weight though. In my opinion, she got a little too skinny for her frame. You should rent it, it was a good season.

lol Kori, I like a little crazy too, just not the type that drives me to pack on the pounds ;)

Now to my morning weight.... 250.2 pounds. Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!! I know a 4 pound loss is real good considering I'm at the height of my cycle, but I really wanted to get below that 250 mark. I know this sounds selfish, but I'm disappointed.

Oh well, here's hoping this new week will give me what I want.
 
Congrats on the loss!!!


I didnt watch the finally last night but i did see pieces of the show. I thought Jerry looked too skinny but good for him and his wife. I'm very happy for them.

I'm actually glad that i didnt see it because i would have been pissed when Helen won. I have not liked her since she made that decision to send the daughter home and for her to stay. There is no way a mother should choose herself over her daughter. NEVER!

I really, really wish they would show how all the past contestants are doing, both good and bad. They all accomplish amazing things while doing the show but how much have they really learned?

What they should do is a season of past contestants that gained the weight back and give them another chance. Really get into their head about what happened and why.


Enjoy the day!

Awww, but you're just 3 ounces away! That's not much at all! I don't think its selfish, it's just what you were hoping for.

But wow, 4lbs, WTG :D
 
Thanks Matt. I agree that Helen was not my favorite throughout the season, and she was selfish for sending her daughter home, but if I recall, her daughter was insisting her mom stay for a number of reasons, I think the smoking was the main one. Anyway, I admired Tara's strength, and I was pleased that Ron took responsibility regarding his son. Helen should have taken notice there.

Thank you, Dreaming. I'm over it now. lol, and I've decided to work even that much harder this week. A loss is a loss so I'm happy.
 
I had a kick ass workout at the gym today. I upped the resistance on the AMT to 11 and 13. I step when it's on 11 and sprint when it's on 13. I went 5.27 miles and burned 952 calories in a 65 minute session. I felt so terrific. Sure I looked like someone had dumped a bucket of water on me, but damnit if it wasn't all worth it.
 
I had a couple of off days. After plugging my intake into fitday, I was over by about 300 calories each day. I still got my workouts in and did everything else I normally do, I just simply ate way too much at my meal times. Looking back at what i did eat, I noticed that both days I did not eat much for breakfast. Typically, breakfast is my biggest meal. I'm almost positive that change and my mood were responsible for triggering old habits.

Today is a new day and I started it off right by clearing my mind with an early morning walk, which turned into me jogging half of it. That felt real good and I think now I can put the past couple of days, (along with my mood) to rest and get back to dropping these pounds.
 
Awesome YMCA, its very cool to recognize your mistakes and move on.

You're doing soooo good, even though you had a few bad days.
