Stasia Gets Skinny

I had kind of a rough day yesterday. Fought the diet-killing munchies all day. And I mean ALLLLLLLLLLLLL DAY. I kept thinking 'it's not worth it. I've done so well already and I love to eat so much.' To make it worse, I knew I was going to be having a drinky-poo with my husband (movie night!!) that would add calories on to my day. It was a serious challenge, but I (mostly) prevailed. My biggest indiscretion was that I ate 200 calories worth of Reese's Pieces, but even that isn't so bad.

I did have a White Russian, but I made it with fat-free milk, so it wasn't as bad. It was a hard day, but I came out at under 1500 calories! Woo!

We're going on a hike tomorrow in the Gila. Definitely excited about that too. I'm pumped again to be losing weight, and proud of myself for overcoming a motivationless day.
 
You are doing so well! Really jealous at your hikes too. We have snow forecast for tomorrow, and most likely not in a nice way etiher, just UK floppy snow and wind :(
 
Matt and I went to a nearby town (well, nearby for the wide-open southwest- about an hour's drive) that has a nice shopping area. We had a great day, and it really lifted my spirits. There are so many great second-hand shops, but my best find of the day was a George Foreman grill in an army surplus store.

...I don't know why it was there either. :/

I cooked up a chicken breast in it for dinner, and it is AMAZING. I had a delicious, nutritious dinner in like 10 minutes! That'll help me sooo much. There are so many times when lack of time/laziness mean eating stuff that's bad for you, but no more!

I also got some of those Slimfast meal-on-the-go bars. I'm a little wary that those tiny things will satisfy my tum, but it'll definitely be a good way to get some of my vitamins.

I feel like snacking right now, but I'm going to stay strong. Maybe.
 
Went on a hike today in the mountains. Matt started feeling weak after a while, so we had to cut it pretty short (a little over an hour), but we still had fun! We're going to go running tomorrow morning! And by that, I mean we'll walk for a while, then jog, then fall over hyperventilating after about 15 seconds. We're out of shape.

I've never been any good at running at ALL, so I'm kind of looking forward to trying to get better.

Weight-wise, I jumped up about a pound inexplicably (I've been well within my allotted calories and exercise) a couple days ago and haven't budged a bit. It doesn't bother me though. I know I'm eating right and getting my heart pumping, so even if the weight doesn't come off fast, I'm still getting healthier every day!
 
Good work, Stasia!! You are doing soooo well with your exercise, hiking and all!!
I love your swimsuit you have on in those pics,BTW!! 20lbs loss is excellent, keep up the hard work and we shall be rewarded!!! Hell yeah, hot chicks coming through!
PS I know I over do it with the exclamation marks but I am a very excitable person!!!:smilielol5:

lol, I feel the same way about running! I hope I am never involved in a murder/victim chase scene, because I'm pretty sure I'll be the one wheezing and tripping all over everything right before I get stabbed to death!

I know I've been away most of the weekend - for reasons you may read about in a bit. Need to post to my journal, but I'll be lurking tonight. Hope to hear from you!:waving:
 
Running hurts my brain. So far, I still hate it. Oh well, I survived. I'll give it another week or so. I defintely don't want to dread exercise so much- that can only hurt my weightloss in the long run- so if I still hate it, I'll switch back to something else.
 
Don't have time for a real post (again), but don't want to abandon the weight loss forum! This place keeps me going.

Anyway, I'm in the 160s!!! Finally!!!! It's been a while, 6. Good to see you again.

I think it's SO COOL that a few months ago I had a 9 in the 10s digit, and now it's a SIX!!! Well, of course it's still a 7 if I've eaten anything... but STILL!!!! Have a doctor's appointment soon. Hope all goes well.
 
I've lost 13 pounds since I went to the doctor 3 weeks ago. That was exciting to see on the scale, though the nurse didn't even notice the difference. Bitch. :p

As for my goals- I have 12 days until my birthday and 7.4 more pounds to lose! I know I can pull it off. I'm going to trytrytry really hard to workout a LOT and not cheat at all on my diet and aim to be 165 by Monday (5 days from now). That way, I'll only have to lose 3 pounds in the last week before my birthday, which I know I can do.

I also made a goal of getting down to 156 for the February Monthly Challenge. I'm currently 13 pounds away, with almost the whole month to go! I've been doing a really great job on my diet, but I've been a bit lazy with exercise the past few days. I make sure and do something every day, but definitely not as much as I should. I need to kick it into gear if I'm going to reach my goals!
 
You are doing really well! Just keep at it and I am sure you will make your goal for your birthday. I agree with you on the exercise - it has to be fun and enjoyable. I have just dug out an old exercise video based on salsa moves. I love dancing, and this the kids can join in on too! :)

I want to see some pics Stasia! Get your hubby to snap a few for us (and for him ;))!
 
I did take some before pictures, but I don't want to take afters until I'm really after. And my hubby has enough pictures 'for him' anyway. ;) I feel like the difference isn't that visible yet.

Weighed 168.8 today. Absolutely thrilled with my progress. Nine more pounds until the 150s. THE ONE FIFTIES. That's pretty tiny for me!

I've been overweight for a long time, and I'm excited to get out of that category. In 6th grade, I was average, but thought I was fat (thanks to my weight-obsessed friend). The summer between 7th and 8th grade, I went from a 'nearly a' bra to a C. I was kind of uncomfortable with the change, so I gained some weight to cover it up. But my boobs kept growing! By 9th grade, I was a DD. All through high school, I was around 180, give or take 10 pounds, but the girls slowly kept adding mass. Now I wear a 38F-- with some spillage. :( I wear bras to make my boobs look smaller, but I've always felt like having these things on my chest make me look fat. And so I feel fat. And so I am fat.

Thanks to my husband, I've learned to love my body as it is. Even though it seems backwards, loving myself now has made it possible for me to lose weight.

I feel so great about the progress in my weight loss and I am completely ready to go all the way.
 
DAMN STASIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOOD JOB GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!:party: :party:
All this hard work has God I feel you as being chubby in jr high and highschool..These are huge milestones to accomlish.. I can't believe you are already in the 160's that amazing.. You motivate me chickee... Good for you keep up the amazing work..:party:
 
Wow, "the girls" didn't look that big in your picture... *goes back to check* :Angel_anim:

You've lost a lot of weight now. Do you think you're losing a little boob too?
 
Appaliq- Nope, I'm definitley still overflowing my bras, though not as much. I wear minimizer bras to make 'em look smaller.

Dropped a bunch this morning! Actually, the first time I hopped on the scale, it was 166.4, but after that, it went to 167. I'm counting the higher one so that if I gain it back with water weight, I won't feel bad. After those long, long days where I gained and maintained around 171, I guess my body is just catching up with my hard work!

I'm SOOOO close to being halfway to my goal! It's so nice to see my ticker creeping nearer and nearer to that 140. I know my weight loss will slow down as I get closer, and I'm totally fine with that. I'm just happy for everything I've done so far.
 
Good for you, Stasia!! Such an awesome attitude will get you wherever you choose to go! Keep up the hard work, you are coming along sooo fabulously!!
 
Aren't you supposed to be bearing cleavage anyway, now that you're closing in on being a sexy, skinny hot mama? ;)
 
Oh, I have no problem showing ridiculous amounts of cleav. That's my thing. C'mon, dressing up slutty is FUN!! Haha.

Anyway, I guess that 166 I saw on the scale yesterday was REAL, because I was somehow 165.4 this morning?!?! And I only hit under 170 for the first time on Wednesday. What the hell is going on in my body? Oh well, not complaining. I guess I had just been retaining water for a while.

I am now officially halfway to my goal. Just a short time ago, I had 51 pounds to lose- now I only have 25.4. It seems like a much more managable number and gives me even more confidence in myself.

I talked to my mom today. She lost 150 pounds a year or so ago (300 to 150), but she's been gaining back up to 200. I got her to start going back to Weight Watchers last week, and she's already lost 7.8 pounds in one week! I'm so happy for her and proud. I never got to see her at her lightest, but I know she was so much happier when she was healthy.

Yay for being skinny!!!
