Jenny's Weight Journal

i cant remember the last time i saw snow here :|
and just to say that replacing pop and sugarry drinks with water is so good for you. i read yesterday that people that drink sugarry drinks consume 25 pounds worth of fat a year more than people that drink water instead!

Jenny I finally found your thread! Good job on the progress made thus far! I know I should be doing exercise like you are, but I'm just too darn lazy.
And I'm so jealous of you...it doesn't look like it's going to snow around here anytime soon! :(

lol i am very lazy myself...but if you have the right motivation you can over come your lazyness...i have so far...this is what you do...take a few before pic of yourself...and post them on your computer background...that's one of my motivations.:)
 
:) Good Afternoon All! Today has been a pretty good day so far. My mom took me and my little bro to iHOP for "brunch" I did pretty well there...I had a Hot Turkey sandwich on wheat and a salad instead of fries. And I had a huge glass of ice water to drink! I did sneak a few bites of hashbrowns from my mom...but not much..:eek: but other than that I have been doing great for the day. I have put in 200 sittups so far...the other 200 will come tonight before I go to bed. I just spent the last hour cleaning my bed room....a lot of work. I also put all my clean landuary away instead of leaving on the floor in a basket. My next job is to clean my bathroom...:eek: I will do the rest of my workout here in a little bit. I was going to go on that walk today...but yet again mother nature has decided to put a hault on my plan.:(
O well...I will get to it sooner or later. Tomorrow I have class..(I might skip my morning class if the roads are bad) If I am at school all day tomorrow I will check out the gym/rec center..and see what it has to offer...and maybe stop by the lib. to do some reading on healthy weight loss.


Ok I have been thinking really hard about something...and I am completely confussed:confused: Ok why is it that the bigger size of jeans you get the longer the pant legs get? It's like the Jean industry is indicating that the fatter/bigger you are the taller you are? Has or does anyone else have this problem. I mean I get the 'short' pair of jeans instead of average, or long...but they same to still a few inches too long. But then when I look at the smaller jeans that wouldn't fit me because I am to big they are the right length for someone 5'2"! I dunno...this just really bugs me...can't us short people be fat too???? lmao:)

Well I hope all of you are having a great afternoon!
 
Yeah I should do that....I really wish I had the courage and motivation that you all here have. Good job on today's intake!
Oh yeah, and scratch the no snow part...it's currently snowing here! :)
Stay strong

Well say this to yourself..I have found myself saying this all week. Yes you NEED to do this Jenny, You can do this Jenny, and You WILL DO THIS JENNY! I'm always finding excusses for myself saying i can't do that i don't want to do that. But if you just forget about all those excusses you will find so much motivation and courage! When I stepped on the scale and 3 big red numbers read 194 I freaked. I took a few before pictures of myself and I freaked out even more. When you realize that you really are overweight and you are not healthy then the excusses go away and motivation moves in...atleast that's how I found it.:)

I thought it was just me!!! I wonder about the same thing.

One day they will learn, but by then we will be skinny minis & our new jeans will fit fabulously.

Good luck on getting a chance to walk. This weather is certainly a test of devotion!

Ya by the time the Jean Industry wakes up and realizes short people can be fat too we all will be skinny in our nicely fitting jeans..that won't be too long and drag on the ground (or atlest I hope)
 
I just hate that I tend to walk off the cuffs sometimes & then I can't even wear them to work anymore. We have a no rips or tears policy. So then I have to get more jeans, which is OH so much fun! (rolling eyes)

I hear you girl on that one! I don't have a pair of jeans that aren't worn on the bottoms. And yes jean shopping is "SO" much FUN!:rolleyes: I'm sure this will all go away in a few months time when I get down to a 13 or an 11/12...I haven't been a 13 in 2 years! Man I wait and pray for the day to come...
 
OK - I keep hearing about all these odd size clothes...but I haven't ventured over to the department that carries them.

Is a size 12 womans about the same as a size 13?

Yeah that is something I need to say to myself. I need this very much.
And thank you for the water advice. I'm going to try to drink as much water as possible.
Thanks again for your motivation Jenny! You really are inspirational.

ok my mom says that 9 is to a 10, 11 is to a 12, 13 is to a 14 and 15 is to a 16. so i guess if you go into the juniors and see a size 9/10 or 11/12 that means if you are a 12 in a womans then you can be a 11/12 in a juniors??? I really am not sure...but good question.


After putting away all of my clean clothes into the closet I have come to discover that I no longer have any of my "skinny jeans" that I wore a few years ago. I do have 2 pairs of 14s in my closet but when I get down to that size I wouldn't beable to wear them out. They are so worn in and holes every where. Basically I can just throw them away.

anytime hun. but i think your biggest inspiration should be yourself! I am my own inspiration/motivation. We will do this together. Drink lots of water and maybe take a few fully body pictures of yourself as the before pic. So that you can look back when you do lose all the weight and say I was there now I am here...and I will never again be there unless of course I am with child and gain 20lbs...lmao
 
Hmmm...so maybe I should try on an 11 the next time out - haven't done that in ohhhh...25 years or so ;)
 
What was that, 4 years ago?
;)

Girl I have condiments in my fridge older then that!

Honestly, the last time I wore an 11, I was 14 and a freshman in highschool. I'm (ahem) 41 now! :eek:
 
lol...now that just gross...lmao...
almost 5 years ago...man...i want to get back there...maybe into that 7-9 that I wore 6thgrade through the 8t grade
 
Well I have completed my last 200 sittups for the day. Today has been a pretty good day. My mom came into my room this afternoon and tried out my gymball. When she tried to do sittups on it she couldn't keep her balance...it was quite funny actually. I then demonstrated how to do it for her..she still can't do it right...lmao. Then my little bro came in and I had him try it out. He did pretty well on it. Then my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I really don't know is all I told her. She says she might buy me a few hand weights and maybe a medicine ball to help intensify my sittups. Well I hope you all have a great night!


I'm praying for the roads to be a mess tomorrow so that I can sleep in and miss my first class which is at 8am...then I won't have class till 1:30!

Night all!
 
Hi Jenny,
It's great to hear how supportive your mom is! Sleep well and good luck with that weather ;)
