Just making sure this thing still works. I'm back on track and losing again. Down to 158! Yay me.
Excited about the Masquerade Ball. Picked out a pattern and fabric now I just have to get in gear and sew it all.
Everyone have a fantastic day! Byeeeeee!!!
Cool ... So what color is your dress going to be? I went to the King Richards Fair one years, it was awesome. Bought a leather rose, a leather bound journal, a wine glass with dragons on it. Its taking place this October, maybe Alex and I can go ..
when I get married .. I want to wear a medieval dress for my hubby when I walk down the aisle and hopefully it will be Alex I will be walking down the aisle toooo

The fabric is a rich green with a gold pattern. I'm really excited I just hope I can get it done in time. I was all happy to get down to a size 12 and the dress pattern had to put me in a bad mood becuase according to my measurements I'm a 16. But it was like that for the bridesmaids dress for my sisters wedding. I wonder if I could salvage that into a cute sundress.
I've been doing better. My scale is still broke. It says I weigh 15L. L for Lucious I guess I had to weigh myself at the grocery store. The one that tells you your height, weight, bmi etc.
BF wants me to go to visit his family in Disney with him for Thanksgiving. Last time we went I was so sick with a horrible cold. I remember having a great time but he remembers it different. Epcot is my favorite place though.
I started my day with a trip to the dentist followed my a honey wheat english muffin topped with sugar free strawberry jam and a cup of earl grey tea.
Everyone have a great Tuesday!

Your dress sounds lovely, can't wait to hear how it turns out. Don't worry about the sizing, it seems like patterns always run very small! Have a great day!

ZOMG Uterus!
Dress is coming along nicely. There's a lot to get done before the Ball this Saturday but I can do it. I got a mask at the renaissance faire. It's green and gold with a hint of sparkle. Looks kind of like a leafy butterfly.
I'm still losing though very slowly. I need to pick up the pace a little if I want to meet my goal. I want to be 130-135 by the end of the year. That gives me 10 weeks to lose 20somelbs. Do-able I think.
I was looking through old pictures yesterday and found some of me 50lbs ago. I was thinking about posting before and after shots. So many of you guys have done it so I can do it too!
Toast and tea for breakfast and Activia yogurt for snack. I've gotten lazy on posting what I eat in my food log. I need to get back on track with that too.
I hate cramps
Everyone enjoy their Monday!!

Someone had the nerve to bring in a tray of brownies yesterday. I resisted yesterday but they didn't eat them all so I must resist again today. I've been feeling really bloated lately and I want to look good in this dress I'm making so I've cut out all crap from my diet ~except the tiny smidge of chocolate someone brought in from Switzerland, I had to try it! I'm sticking to mostly fruits and veggies, lean protein and my Activia yogurt in the mornings. Lots of water and green tea. Yesterday I had my yogurt, a huge plate of broccoli for lunch, chicken tenderloin with lowfat cheese and homemade salsa and a nectarine for snack. That’s not many calorie now that I think about it but I'm feeling good.
The Activia yogurt is good. There's something about it that makes it different then regular yogurt but I can't put my finger on it. I got an 8pack that came with 4 strawberry and 4 peach. They keep me full till lunch if I have one for breakfast. I was eating them as a mid morning snack and having toast or waffles for breakfast but since I've cut out carbs for right now…
My dress is almost done, I'm cutting it close but that's a given for me. I'm such a procrastinator. It's stressing me out a little bit so I've got a nice zit on my chin.
I'm also stressed because BF is in the Los Angeles area for work. He'll be there for the next two weeks as well. He says the fires aren't near where he is but it still freaks me out a bit. He's been flying home on the weekends to spend time with me so it'll be a relief Saturday morning when I see him again.
Well it's lunch time!

Oh wow your mask is really pretty.
You are doing great with your eating. Darn the office brownies! I am facing the same battle with butter cookies on our office, unfortunately I have slipped a little & had some. But sounds like you are having an exciting week leading up to the ball and your honey coming home. Keep up the good work!

I posted before between and current pictures on the Before & After board so I'm proud of that. Not as difficult as I thought it would be!http://weight-loss.fitness.com/before-after-between/16441-omg-here-i-go.html
My weekend was awesome! I totally forgot my camera and so I don't have pictures of my own. I'm waiting for one of BF's friends to email pics of us so as soon as I get them I'll post. I still haven't posted pics of the cruise have I?
The hall was really beautiful, food was great. We did a lot of renaissance type dances. Great music, singing and storytelling contests. We left close to 2am.
I hope everyone else had a great weekend. I'll give more details when I have pics to post!

I feel waterlogged today.
I've been trying to keep myself hydrated. We turned on the heat the other day so I want to keep myself moist in this dry air. I always have an issue with dry skin in the winter. Hopefully now that I've been eating healthier it will have some beneficial effects for my skin. I also need to get myself a new winter wardrobe. I went back into the Express store at the mall just to check out a pair of size 10 jeans and they fit! I'm almost to my goal of a size 8 and less than 30lbs from my weight goal. 
My mother is a little surprised that I want to get to 130 or even below but I think for someone my height (5'4) 125-130 is good. BF likes the idea of being able to pick me up and carry me around but I want to get to the point where his face doesn't turn red while hes holding me. Two months to the end of the year and I think I can make it to 20 less lbs.
I need to pick up some more yogurt. I like that a bit better than toast in the morning. Also need to remember to bring in my box of green tea. I try to drink green tea as much as I do water during the day.
I've just gotten back in to my jazzercise routine again after taking two weeks off to finish my dress. It feels good and hopefully it will kick my weight loss up a bit more than 1 lb a week!

Hi Val! Thanks! Leo Girls Rule!
I was reading through my old diary entries yesterday and the skinny jeans I mentioned in July are now 2 sizes too big!
Today I feel sleepy. I made it through the week back to Jazzercise so I feel good about that. I still am only a pound down from last week but at least thats something I guess. I'm being more reasonable about my goals for the end of the year. I was so determined to lose all of my extra weight before years end. BF has gently reminded me that the closer I get to my goal weight the harder and/ or slower the weight loss may become. He's been super supportive thus far. When I put on those size 10 jeans the other day I got that Oooooo face from him.
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow down in Rehoboth. I can go shopping at the outlets on Sunday...work on that winter wardrobe!

Yes, it is more difficult to get down there! UGH! Let's see, I went from a BMI of 25 to 21.5 fairly quickly, in about 5 months, but then this summer I gained a bunch of weight back My own fault--you're perfectly capable of losing the weight and keeping it off, I'm sure Just stay diligent and don't party too much! LOL!! Have a great day!
