Hi Natalie, Good to see you're persevering with the walking. Don't kill yourself, as long as you're moving you're burning calories and the main thing is to enjoy it if the weather is good enough.
Thanks for stopping by my diary. I take it you've tried South Beach? You said it worked as long as you stayed on it. I'm sure getting my fill of raw veggies but I know its good and it is filling which is the main thing. I'm eating way less calories, like 1450-1550 calories and I'm more full than when I was eating 2200 or more and snacking in the night. So its got that going for it. Volume wise I'm eating more. Ground flax really boosts the fibre. I've done 2 days now of the 14 first days.
Glad to see you're still around and still encouraging everyone. Thanks a lot for the visit.

Thursday I am busy with Peter ..he has decided to come a day earlier ..and than Friday is all sunny and 46 degrees .. but after Peter leaves I plan to walk, because rain and snow are panning out at night ..so I will go during the day ..

Everyone has their splurges, my dear! No worries. Good luck on your swimsuit shopping!! Maybe I'll start mine as well with your good example leading me - just go into it with a good mindset!!
Where in the world are you by the way with your crazy snow and your cold weather! I'm in PA and we're still getting 50something degree weather.

Thanks Sophie!
I love salmon marinaded in the santa fe marinade .its really hot ..but really good .. u know ...
and My walk is going to be wonderful .. I love this route ..its a little dangerous ..some of the curvy roads dont have sidewalks and the cars have a hard time seeing you, but the snow should be back enough to have room for me to walk .. I am going to take the chance ....

Well Everyone,
I just read the first page of my diary in January. And I was 294 pounds, and in June when I joined I was 300.... so I have come far, but have so much farther to go, but its funny, I am right on target goal weight lmao
in the first entry I said
that I wanted to be 270.0 pounds by May, wow. I am 276.6 as of two days ago. I didn't get to weigh myself this morning. I automatically took a shower and dressed. I didnt go downstairs like usual and with my pjs weigh myself at nine am.. which is actually good. lol so I am not a slave to the scale, but I do like weighing every other day. I think I have gained... I kind of had four tsp of peanut butter and am paying for it now, suger high can we say!! My eyes are killing me. I can barely see, now I remember why I am taking metformin! I didnt take it earlier, not to mention peanut butter does this to me everytime! Yes I forget and I keep craving it, and I don't touch, but never think why not, until I eat some peanut butter and end up having a glare in my pupils from the suger... so I need to stay away from the sweet stuff as much as I can. I did eat three suger cookies last night, which than my stomach felt better. I think the suger coats my stomach and it makes me feel better, which is AWFUL!! I am hooked, but I am not sticking with the hook lol My mom is picking my suger free jellos up tonight ..its a pack of twenty four with aspartame. Thats what I am the slave too, if I want anything sweet I have to take in aspartame ..forget the scale ..try some substitue lmao
but anyway .. my pcp seems happy anything .. I have lost fifteen pounds since she last saw me which is really good ... I see her in a few months .. hopefully I will be down to 270.0 like I want to be, or even less, but probably wont be less, but as the weather gets warmer.. I will be out there more and I have to start walking on rainy days .. I mean why else did I get a rain coat ..that is wayyyyyyyyy too big .. I wish I had gotten the smaller one .. I look so fat in the jacket ..bahhh ... I will wear it anyway and by the end of the summer it will be huge on me ..but most of the time I walk with out anything except my clothes on in the rain and than the suns comes out and dries me off by the time I get home lmao .. but there were a few weeks where all we got was rain and it stunk .. I didnt have any way of walking in it lol ... no umbrella ..well I have an umbrella ..stole mine back from mom ... finally ..and I have an umbrella and rain gear ...so no more slacking ..tomorrow its supposed to clear by the afternoon ...and I am going walking ..no sun ..yuck ..but I dont mind clouds ..as long as I dont get wet ..so once it stops tomorrow afternoon after Peter leaves I am going for a walk ..while I am pouting because he has left lol till our hopeful second date ..
girls I really like this guy!!!!!!!!!!!! lol wish me the best ..
love yas
I will tell you everything tomorrow lol

Wow! Congratulations on almost meeting your May goal by April! That's amazing!
Oh, have you started to look for bathing suits yet? I'm thinking about getting myself a tankkinni, but the one with the shorts.
Oh, I know you shop at fashion bug, but I wanted to know if you have ever shopped at Torrid? It's a bit more punk / rocker look (actually it's kinda reminds me of a plus size Hot Topic) But they do have cute plus size clothes there and for almost any style that you dress (Trendy, Punk, Goth, etc...)
Boy, I bet we both can't wait until we are no longer plus size.
Later Hun! Have a great day! Good Luck again with Peter!

Hey Veronica!!
Yes I am almost meeting my May goal in April. I think by May I will be 275.. which is wierd ..because I didnt think I would be able to do it ..so I am feeling good ..
oh yes I have shopped in Torrid, but the pants dont fit me so hot ...they actually dont cut into the waist the way my hourglass shape is and my belly gets bigger ..so I need the shape .. I cant wear hipsters lol oh well .. I love their jeans selection although and their shirts are cool too ..we have one in the mall actually ... its the only big womens store in the mall ..doesnt that suck!!
oh well
