On The Road To Regain Control

Nice to see you swing by for an update. Congrats on maintaining your stuff, I mean after all, we have to learn how to do this break even thing for a very long anyway so good on you for not ballooning - especially over the winter ;)

I hope your graduation is a hoot !!

College-bound ??
 
Okay.
So I'm still stuck on these last ten pounds. I have been for a few good months now. Geez. People ain't even playin when they say the last few are the hardest to lose. They simply refuse to come off.

I'm not letting it get to me though. I just gotta stick with it, maybe revise my diet and exercise again.

OooOOooOOo! I forgot to mention that I ran a 5k June 9th.

Yeah... I was pretty proud of myself.

I got college orientation tomorrow. Blah. Hopefully I can mantain my erge to smash at lunch and the following reception.

Imma post some of my Senior prom pics for a bit of an update. :)
 
I made it to 135 satruday morning....

After three months of 140 pounds, I just randomly lost five pounds on a week I didn't even feel like i did that well.

Amazing.

I wore a hot pink bikini yesterday. It was the first time I was actually able to pull one off. It looked decent. When my tummy tightens up a bit more, it'll look better.

Absoloute Bliss.

I'm reaching my state of Nirvana. Lol.

Oh yeah. I have more big news.

Awhile back my father started trying to lose weight. He started a weightloss diary, but of course he never posted.


I just waned to let everyone know that since then, he's been following the "bowflex eating and exercise plan", and has lost a total of 52 pounds!!!!

YAYA DADDY!!!!

His success def deserves some recognition.
 
Okay. So I'm at school right now... I've got about an hour down time between my classes and decided it be a most excellent time for an update.

Things have been going pretty well for me. I've been somewhat stressed lately, but nothing I can't handle.

My diets going well for the most part and I've been jogging a mile almost every night for about a month now. Hopefully that will help prevent the all to notorious "freshman fifteen" Lol.

There's a 10k coming up next year around May-ish and I'd love to run it. My younger cousin (she's about nine years old) wants to run it with me. She's recently joined a cross country team and is loving to run as much as I am now. Lol. I'm glad I could have a such a positive influence on her when it comes to the issue of health.

I'm pretty sure I've decided to major in Nutrition. I really wanna focus on helping others overcome and conquer the same struggles I have- healthwise. I'm taking my first Nutrition class now, and I'm really getting alot out of it. It's really interested.

I'm getting married- as of now- in next July. So I'm excited about that. Tyler's excited because he thinks living with me will help him lose weight. Lol. Hopefully it will. I want him to be around for a long time.

So yeah. Things are good.
 
Okay. Just a quick update before class.

Me and my parents have just recently started the P90X Program.

OMG!!

It is the most intense, hardcore exercise program I have ever attempted.

So Yeah. We'll see how this goes. Lol. Imma be cut.
 
Okay. So I stepped on the scale this mornin just outta curiousity and saw a big 1-3-2.

I was pretty happy, to say the least.

I'm hopin, since it's only tuesday, I can maybe reach my goal by Sunday. I'm only two pounds away:eek2:. Surely, I can lose two pounds in six days.:rolleyes:

I'm plaining on posting some "final" before and after pics this week, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for 'em. I'm thinkin people may be somewhat surprised at the difference.... I know I am. Lol :rolleyes:
 
I Did It....

I stepped on the scale this morning.... and I weighed in at 130 pounds....

:jump::jump::jump::jump::jump::jump:

I finally... after one year and about three months... have reached my goal.

Is there a word in the english language to describe this feeling?
 
This morning I had wheat toast....
It was good. :D

For the past week or so, I've been on some looney junk food binge...
:piggy:
And it finally caught up with me.
:piggy:
I gained a few pounds.
:piggy:
For some reason I'm not freakin out about it though, which is good. I've just got to get some consistency back into my eating and exercise habits again. My body is still learning, and therefore consistency is key.
 
Alright so it's Monday and I've decided I'm hittin it hardcore this week.

I hate this...

Because I promised myself, that I would always be honest here, I have a confession to make.

After meeting my goal of 130 lbs... I've recently regained about seven pounds.
:(

It has givin me the motivation I need to kick butt this week and get back on track though, So no worries. I lost it once, and I'll lose it again. It's time to get serious, and quit being so lax all that time.

I've gotten to comfortable in my eatin habits again.

I've been eating out WAY to much.

My goal this week is to completely cut the fast food and sweets.

For Breakfast this morning I had:

Two plain pieces of Whole Wheat Toast.
2 slices of ham (lunchmeat), browned in a pan.
1/2 cup or so of Apple Sauce
1/2 cup or so of Milk

Here we go again... :)

So I ended up doing really well yesterday. I went for a walk (2.3 miles) which ended up being really nice. It gave me a chance to think about somethings.
After that, when I got home, I did Chest and Back and Ab Ripper (P90X) with my dad. It was pretty rough. I've gotten so outta shape.

Eat wise I thnk I did pretty good too.

Today is going to be a very busy and stressful one. I brought a cereal bar for lunch because that's prolly all imma have time to eat.
 
I'm sitting here working on this crazy Career Exploration Portfolio for my GSO class. Naturally I picked Dietitian as my Career to explore.

The more I read into this stuff I really just don't know if it's for me or not.

I mean yeah I'd be helping people, but I could help people without all the schooling and unpaid interships, and exams....

The more I think about it.

I really just wanna be a housewife.... :rolleyes:
 
Succeeding.

So I totally kicked my diets butt yesterday, and I smashed Cardio X as well. :smash:

I've been back on the wagon for only two days, and I already feel so refreshed. I don't know why I have such a tendency to over eat. I feel so much better when I have it under control. Food is seriously like a drug to me. I guess sometimes my three time a day fix just isn't enough and I feel the uncontrollable erge to go on a crazy binge, followed by the ultimate crash and burn.

Oh well- as of now, all is well in the land of Jennifer. :waving:
 
OMG

I'm so glad you posted in my diary because it made me come and look up what you have been doing, and you have soooooooo been doing fantastic things.

First you lost most of your weight, then you didn't regain it, and kept in touch here (kinda), and then you made your goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And here you are sticking with it.....

And you know this forum doesn't let me properly post giant moving glitzy OMG superdazzled Woo hoo's - even though they are surely in order. Dammit. Like this.
View attachment 5043

which surely should be at least in the circumstances!!!

Anyway, congratulations. I checked out your B and As too and you have done a fantastic job!!
 
Thanks so much for your comment! It really lifted my spirits this morning. I was starting to think I'd faded sadly into the shadows of the forgotten forum memebers. Lol.
 
I had Tyler over for dinner last night. We had some whole grain paste with soy ground beef and tomato sauce (healthy spaghetti). We spilt a baked potato with butter sub, and we each had 1 fillet of fish.

It was really good.

I've been tryin to talk him into joining the forum. He's really been tryin to lose weight lately, and I think the extra support and motivtion would be really benefical to him.

We took his "before" pictures last night as well.

I think they were kind of eye opening in away.

I think his want to lose weight is really kicking my butt into gear and keepin me inspired to keep goin with my whole diet thing as well.

No worries. I find it too easy to spend too much time on line and mostly hide out in the diaries of people I've previously made contact with.

I'm quite sincere in my praise. Getting all the way to our goals is very special. Also, we almost all talk here about losing weight as a permanent lifestyle change, yet it is very hard to get started, rarer to finish and rarest of all to lose a lot of weight then maintain as we wanted. I love to hear from people such as yourself who have made it to their goal and are working on maintaining because I know that will take another bunch of important adjustments, and I love to see other people showing me that it can be done! :D

It's great that Tyler is making an effort to become healthier too. It will be such a bonus for the both of you. :)
 
I've been going through these random spurts of depression. Sometimes I feel great like I'm ontop of the world and other times I don't even feel like I can get up in the mornings let alone attempting anything else that my take any kind of energy.

I know this isn't a weight-loss related issue...
It's just life.
