I guess this is where I should blog?

July 2nd, 2008

Where do I start?

Im 20(3/4ths) 5'6,im married, and I have a 22 month old son.
I have stuggled with my weight my entire life. I remember in the 1st grade a kid called me the "fat pippi longstockings" thats the 1st time I decided that I needed to lose weight.I started sucking in my tummy in the second grade and still do everyday(it hurts if I dont)My whole childhood I have memories of being the chunky kid. I was always the best friend of the pretty ones. Boys would not "date" me because I was fat in Jr high. I Have gone from size 7 to size 18 and up and down again. I have stuggled with eating. There were weeks that I did not eat. There were months that I threw up. There were months that I took diet pills........and worked out twice a day....and took laxitives............I went from 210 to 140 in about a year and I still felt over 200 lbs. I have passed out from not eating.... and you know what it wasn't worth it. It is no way to live starving yourself to fit into dress you bought 2 sizes too small on purpose. I am guilty of that. After I "got healthy" which really means fat in MY(I did the other extreme) case because I went up to 210 from binge eating. I got pregant and my weight went up to 234.... I lived at 232 for almost 2 years. I decided on June 6th of this year to lose the weight and to do it healthy. I started eating 1500 calories a day. I workout almost everyday at the gym. I do weight training and I do yoga once in a while(even though its very hard for me) Im not really sure why I decided to lose the weight on that day but I did... I have lost 10 lbs since the 6th(and my week 4 weigh in is tomorrow, im hoping for a 2 lb weight loss this week for total of 12 lbs for the month of june) I want to get down to 132 lbs. That is my goal. Im glad I found this board. Im hoping all of you will share your stories and keep me going. I want to be able to wear a tank top in public, buy a pair of jeans at forever 21,wear a little black dress to dinner and dare I say it...wear a bikini!!! Never in my life have I ever worn one. Not even as a child. So this is my 1st post and Im going to be updating this. Wish me Luck....Thanks for reading.

Lea,

Congratulations on the 10 pound loss! and good luck with your upcoming weigh in. You've really come to the right place. My family doesn't take my weight loss quite as seriously I would like, so I come here for support, and I've gotten some great responses. Everybody here understands what you're going through to a certain extent, whether it's because they struggle with Yoga classes, or because they too used to starve themselves. I've grown to love this forum, and my diary really helps me stay on track! I wish you the best of luck, and I hope that the time will go by fast before a bikini is a welcomed friend. How corny does that sound? Oh well... :)

Go YOU!!!! You are doing SOOO great!!!! Keep it up!

What is your routine at the gym? If you have some time, could you spell it all out for me?! I just got a weight machine and am getting a bike next month. I just need a good routine now!
 
I took photos today.. Im trying to take pics so I can see if there are any differences..

the date is wrong.. this was the last week in june..



and today



slowly but surely I will lose the weight. I dunno if I can see any differences..





Maybe a little tighter @ 216...
 
I can see a difference! Everything is looking smaller than the first picture, especially the lower part of your stomach. Your shorts seem to be fitting better and becoming more loose. You are doing great!

July 21st

I haven't been sticking to my diet like I should this month but im still losing weight. I think its because I eat what I want its just my portions are way smaller than they used to be and Im still looking up the calories for everything.
Over the weekend I went out and bought two 8lb hand weights... Whats funny about this is I just lost a little over 16 lbs... while I was holding on to them in the store I was thinking to myself "geeze la wheeze" I just lost this much weight. I know 16 lbs is good but I didnt see it as life changing ya know.. but after feeling how much weight I have lost in my hands it kind of changes my perspective...When I lose a certian amount of weight I am going to go to the store and hold bags of cat food or something similar so I can truly feel my accomplishment.........

That is all.......

Im ready to work my butt off this week......
 
Hi Lea!!! I can tell a big difference in your stomach and posture! Congrats on those 16 pounds!

Keep it up!!! We're all here to support you. =)
 
So I went to the gym yesterday and today. Did my normal 3 1/2 miles on the treadmill and epliptical. My 1st mile I did in 11 mins. I have beat my 12 min mile. For a 215 lbs girl I'd say thats pretty good. Im losing weight but it doesnt seem to be coming off in places I want it to. I swear my boobs are shrinking and I don't like that one bit. Im a 42 C. I'd like my cup size to stay the same but my back to shrink. I just know if going to be a B when Im done losing the weight. Totally sucks. Also my back fat doesnt seem to be going down. Anyone have any advice on how to get that problem area. I HATE my back fat. When I wear cute shirts I look like a stuffed sausage... ewww...

That is all.....
 
Went to the gym today.. It was weigh day.. eh. I cheated and weighed myself everyday this week. I need to stop doing that, but I bought a new scale that does fat percentage and water. Its fun to use lol... anyway So I only lost a lb since last week, but I lost 4lbs last week so I guess thats fine. Im not gaining so thats good.

Total weight loss

17 lbs since June 6th 2008. I'd like to make it at least 20 lbs by August 6th.

I starting using the ArcTrainer as well as the eliptical. The Arc trainer is so much harder. I hope im not sore tomorrow. I think im going to try and stick with the arc trainer..

That is all ; )

editing...update..so I weighed myself this morning without shoes...duh Lea take your shoes off moron!...213.4.. so it was s 3lbs weightloss this week. Bam : )

I can't wait to get under 200 lbs.. Its been 3 years since I have been there : ( my hubby is starting to talk about baby number 2.. Im thinking no until I get to my goal and have kept it off a year.

Ps Im one lb away from hitting my 1st 20 lb goal! Dang it im so close!

Im a pretty healthy obese person..Well kinda

Ok so I did 18 mins on the arc trainer and 10 mins on the eliptical,10 mins on the treadmill. I did a 9 min mile today! Bam. Woot Woot. The way I pound it in the gym(for my size) you'd think I'd be loosing more. Oh well. I feel better. My clothes are loose. My 21st b-day is on monday and life is good. I weigh 208 on a good day and 210 on a bad day.


I have lost 23 lbs and im going strong. 132 lbs here I come....

:iagree: I could have wrote that very same ^^^statement right there! My hubby has the names picked out names and everything. I do want another one right now too, but I really want to be healthier first. Then it scares me how I'm planning on losing all this weight just to put it back on with a baby...:/ At least the pregnancy weight won't be added to this weight...but still.....

So my diet went out the window yesterday. I had to eat what I wanted it was my 21st b-day. I will get back on track tomorrow. I had a white chocolate raspberry martini that was amazing! And a stuffed chicken breast with these awesome cheesy potatoes. I wish I could remember what it was stuffed with. It was pretty tastey whatever it was and high in calories im sure. I should of just drank two martinis and stuck with that as my calories for the day : ) I just hung out with my hubby. Ate dinner, went to a chocolate bar, and walked around a park(thats kind of like exercise). It was nice. They are taken me out for margaritas tonight. Ahhhh these people are killing me LOL. I dont even know if I will get one but it should be fun. I'll be back in the gym tomorrow night killing it ; ) I think I might even walk to the gym... I did that on saturday... its about a 1/2 mile I think.
 
Yay for me..

So I have 3 small victories to share

Number one
I can button my 1st goal skirt....size 14

Number two
I can wrap my towel completely around myself and have it stay up.

Number three
There is this pretty big hill by my house. A few months ago when I walked it while pushing the stroller I would huff and puff up that thing. I ran up that sucker today with the stroller. Im also buying a jogging stroller because my current one isnt cutting it while jogging ; )

Still 208 sigh

that is all...
