Update!

Okay, I've been a little lax on the blogging. I know. June was a very busy month. First of all, we moved to a new place and of course, we got married! Yay! But busy to say the least. Busy equals fast food in my world so my weight loss plan was terrible in June. I missed weigh in days/ate whatever was fast and cheap and of course, didn't blog. So when I got back in town from Gatlinburg on July 1st, I was really hesitant to step on the scale. Morning of July 2nd...stepped up...292 lbs!!!!!!! I had gained 10 lbs in June! OMG!!! I couldn't believe it but then again I could. I had been eating like crazy whatever I wanted. So I weighed in again today and it was back down to 287 but I'm still not eating like I should. It scares me because I was doing so well and then boom...I go off of it. I tell myself every day that I'm back on ...but then...I eat something completely off plan. And before you couldn't PAY me to eat off plan. So there I am...July 7th and 287 pounds. Goal is 236 by December 24th. Got to get back on this thing. I'll post again real soon cause I think the posting helps me to stay on track. And I have to post some wedding pics! :)

Weekly Weigh In Day Week 23

Last Tuesday was weigh in day..heck it's almost weigh in day again. I weighed 281 lbs. So a 1 lb loss. Loss is not much so far this month. We are getting married in two weeks, we're in the process of moving and lot is going on with work so I'm not doing so good. In a hurry just to get a bite of anything and I've eaten off plan a good bit. No gain so far but not a good month as far as weight loss goes. Got to get back on it strong. I'm giving myself more "treats" and "oh just this one meal" than I need to. Tomorrow is weigh in day and I'm afraid I'll be up for this week. But if I am, I am. No need to beat myself up about it but I do need to get back into this thing. I feel to good to sabotage it now! :)

Weekly Weigh In Day Week 22

Was Tuesday. Only a couple of days past monthly weigh in day. Was still at 282. TOM was still here then. Gone now. Been eating a little off plan a few days during TOM. Giving myself a little more freedom. Gotta get back on plan to keep this weight loss going!

Monthly Weigh In Day

Well, today is June 1st. Another month gone by. Weighed in at 282 lbs. TOM is here. So that may account for the 2 lbs up from weekly weigh in day. So that's a total of 11 lbs lost this month. Which is awesome. I finally broke that 8 lb trend I've been on since the first month I started. That's a total of 54 lbs lost so far. I'm really feeling awesome lately. I feel like I'm living again. At 336 lbs I was just kinda here. Didn't feel good about anything most of the time. Being obese really affects your entire world. Cause everything is about the weight. What you can and more often, what you can't do. So, I'm feeling pretty good. Got a long way to go but I've already come a long way. So I've got a little less than 6 months to reach my initial goal of 236 lbs. If I keep at it, I'll definitely get there. The wedding planning is going along fine. Got my dress, got Kirsten's dress finally. Hopefully will be going to get the flowers to get them done this week. Moving right along. We've only got about 27 more days. So all is well at this point. :) Love to all!

Monthly Measuring Day

Well, today is the 29th. The dreaded measuring day... Here goes:

Head: 23.375 Mark says it's 1/8 inch smaller??? Weird. I'm not counting into total.
Neck: 16.25 Lost 1/4 inch
Upper left arm: 17.5 Lost 1/4 inch
Left forearm: 11 3/4 same
Upper right arm: 18 1/2 lost 1/4 inch
Right forearm: 12.25 Lost 1/4 inch
Waist: 45 1/2 Lost 1 more inch
Hips: 54 1/4 Lost 1 1/2 inches
Upper right leg: 31 same
Right calf: 22 3/4 same
Upper left leg: 31 same
Left calf: 20 3/4 Lost 1/2 inch
Thighs: 48 same
Bust on: 45 Lost 1 1/4 inch Of course! :( Grrrrr!
Bust under: 41.5 Lost 1/2 inch

So to summarize:
Lost 1/4 inch in neck, upper left arm, upper right arm, and right forearm
Lost 1/2 inch in left calf and under bust
Lost 1 inch in the waist
Lost 1 1/4 inch on the bust
Lost 1 1/2 inches in my hips

Lost a total of 5.75 inches this month. That makes a total of 31.25 inches so far. I can definitely tell a difference in my clothes and my overall feeling. I "feel" smaller. Everything's just "drooping"....LOL So there you go. Another month. Another measuring day. Weight's been up a few lbs the last few days. Wonder if the 280 on Tuesday was a fluke cause I got alot of sleep that night or what. Sunday will be June 1st. Guess we'll find out then. Should be about time for TOM. Hopefully, I'll break the eight lbs mark anyway. I've lost eight lbs every month since the first month. Would like to lose at least 10 lbs a month. Hmm, guess I need another mini goal. How about 270 lbs by June 28th. That's our wedding day. We'll go with that...270 by the wedding.

Weekly Weigh In Day Week 21

Ok, got on the scale as I do every Tuesday. Well, I'm obsessive so every day really but I only post Tuesday's weight. 280 lbs. I'm so loving it. The wedding is in 4 weeks. I may have to have my dress taken in!!! Who woulda thunk it?? Ha! Anyway, 280 it is. What's that? 56 lbs. Wow!

Weekly Weigh In Day Week 20

Again...was Tuesday..It's now Thursday morning. Oh, well! I'm getting around to it. LOL 288 lbs. So I'm back to where I was prior to the going-to-Gatlinburg-losing-my-mind-eating-all-those-carbs catastrophe! LOL
The wedding planning is moving right along. Got my dress being shipped to me as we speak or type or read or whatever. From the measurements I think it's going to be great but I'm so scared it's not going to fit...I'll have to go on a starvation diet for the next few weeks if it doesn't ...lol... I would post a pic but my hunny reads this blog and he's not supposed to see it. Isn't that funny? We're so not the traditional couple but yet they're somethings we want to keep traditional. We're a funny bunch...I tell ya! But that's all I have for now! Love to all.
