Weigh In #10

So I gained a pound back over the holidays, not to bad in my opinion. I now weigh 140 again. My sister told me that most people gain 5lbs over the holidays, so I am considering myself lucky that I didn't gain any more. I actually lost 2lbs around Thanksgiving and I gained one back over Christmas so I have still lost 1lbs over the holidays. Now that the holidays are over I will be able to get back to my healthy eating habits and start working out again. Those 2 things have been my biggest problem over the holidays is eating all of the goodies and not working out. I did workout once at my Mom's but she has a wood stove and it is really hard to control the temp, one day it was almost 90 degrees in her house. That is to hot for me to workout in. I normally have my apartment set at 70 degrees and that is still to hot, for the longest time I would turn the AC on to work out, even when it was colder outside. So I only have 5 more months till the wedding and that means that I only have 3 months to lose the weight that I need to lose for my dress fittings. I have 6 more pounds to lose (since I gained one back) before I am happy with my weight for my wedding and honeymoon, however I have 16 more to lose before I reach my goal. I don't think I will be able to lose that much by April but I am going to try and lose as much as I can. That will be my New Years Resolution, to lose my last 16lbs. I will do it by the end of the year if not by my wedding. Let me know what your weight lose goals are for the year... Wish me luck!

Weigh In #9

So I reached my goal! I am now under 140lbs, I am 139lbs. I can't believe it, I never thought that I would still be losing weight. This is the most weight that I have ever lost in my entire life!! I am now down 15lbs and counting. My fiance is now in a size 34 jeans and has lost roughly 35+ pounds. It is so much easier that we are doing this together, it makes it easy to support eachother and stop one another from eating things we don't need to eat when we are doing this together. So my reward for reaching this goal was to try on my wedding dress. This is something that I was really scared about and was wanting to keep putting off. What if it still didn't fit? I was 145lbs when I bought it and last tried it on and it would zip but was super tight. Since I had bought it I went up to 154lbs and did not even want to think about trying it on again. So trying it on now was something that I was really nervous about and almost put off. However, I went over to my Mother-In-Laws ( I keep my dress over there to prevent Molly's hair from getting on it and also I don't want Faithful my cat to pee on it or something) to try it on. She helped me get into it and zipped it up... It went up without a problem!! OMG I was so happy I can't even tell you. It was even to big in places and that is the best feeling in the world. So I have another 4lbs to lose before April to be content with my weight for the Wedding/honeymoon, however my ultimate goal is to lose another 15lbs and get down to 125lbs. My next short term goal is to get where I am content at 135lbs. I am coming up on my one year mark since I started to lose weight and I would like to think that I am a success story, even though my story is not finished yet. I have 15lbs to go. I am hoping that it wont take another year to lose these 15lbs, I don't think I will. Last year I didn't really work out all that much ( I didn't workout during the summer at all) and I wasn't eating all that great. I am still learning but it's nice to know that what I am doing is working and I am doing it the right way. Diet and exercise is the only way to go, fad diets don't work in the long term. That is something that I have learned and I am going to stick to trying to be healthy. Which my BMI is now out of the overweight zone and now back into the healthy zone!! I am now healthy. My Fiance is almost healthy, when he started to lose weight he was just inside of obese and is now out of obese and almost out of overweight!! I am so proud of him. He was about 205lbs when he started and is now down to 170lbs. His goal is to get down to 165lbs, which is a healthy weight for his height and size. Wish us luck!

Weigh In #8

I know that I haven't posted in a while, our computer has been on the fritz!! It is so annoying, but anyway I weighed myself on Friday last week and don't ask me how but I lost another pound!! So I am now down 14lbs in 10 months!! Yay, only one more pound till I reach my next goal!! But the reason I was so surprise was because I hadn't eaten good at all that week and I hadn't worked out either. My sister-in-law went into labor
early and she had asked me to be in the delivery room with her. The problem is that she lives 4 hours away, but I did make it on time and was able to be with her when the baby was born! However, I spent 2 nights eating in a hospital and the rest of the time at my Mom's who isn't exactly a health nut. So I was eating Captain Crunch and french toast for breakfast and just not good things and I was not able to workout. So I was not looking forward to coming home and weighing myself. That's why I did it on Friday, I just wanted to get it over and done with, I think my jaw may have hit the floor when I saw the number on the scale. HAHA. I have been having a hard time getting back into eating right again. It's been about a week and a half since I have worked out and eaten well. With Thanksgiving x2, and the baby, and then my Fiance and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Thursday the 8th. I have 4 more months till I need to start my dress fittings, then I wont be able to lose or gain any more weight. I need to lose 5-10lbs before I will be happy about my weight for my wedding and my honeymoon. I am not going to give up on my goal weight, even if I don't reach it by the wedding (although that is my goal time frame.) Always remember that tomorrow is a new day, so even if you didn't eat all that great and you didn't workout, that shouldn't stop you from starting all over again tomorrow. Everyone slips and cheats, we are human. Just remember that the only time you actually fail is when you give up!!
