Body shots!!

Last night I spent the evening with my very favorite ex-sister-in-law/best friend, Carrie...her husband (who is my long lost brother) and their son (who is basically my nephew.) Isnt she the sweetest little Carrie you have ever seen? I love her!

I also thought I would document how I look right now. Please excuse my awkward poses. I look so weird. LOL I also wish someone would tell me how to dress because clearly, I am clueless. However; I am now in a size twenty jeans and I'm down to about a size 1-2x shirt. This is a far cry from where I started.

I'm digging the layered look. It allows me to wear shorter shirts yet still cover my big as a house butt.

All in all, my pictures still disappoint me but they are a good reminder of how far I have come...and how far I have to go.

Merry Christmas everyone!! I will be staying away from the goodies, and it will be so worth it in the end!!

Up Up Up

Im actually up two pounds. I think thats because I am addicted to weighing myself every day. I do know that my jeans are getting loose again so I am looking to downsize again soon. YIPPEE!! Last night my son turned five...I took three bites of cake...chewed them up...and spit them out. LOL I have a habit of doing that so that at least I get the sweet taste in my mouth but don't consume the calories. I'm so weird!!!!

Overall I am feeling very munchy lately and having a hard time staying out of snack foods like crackers and cookies. I can generally NOT eat them but my brain is playing tricks on me lately. I need to get my will power back. I'm not liking this stage. Its almost like my body has been deprived and its screaming for more...although I'm not starving myself. I think its a mental thing. Mind over matter is what I keep telling myself. Of course to combat it I chug the chocolate coffee. Not a great alternative but I REFUSE to gain all that weight back. It feels to good to be smaller.

Looking for the 230's

This feels good....really good. My waist is really curvy now. I still have the post baby belly in front (which I HATE) but I imagine after another twenty pounds it will be almost gone. My butt is still big but its starting to take shape again. Ill try to get some pictures....not of my butt (LOL) but of my body. I haven't done that in awhile. The 230's are right around the corner. I CANT WAIT!!!! So today I have officially lost 75 pounds.

Going down!!

I have a great friend at work who has lost more weight then I have. She generously gives me all her pant that she doesn't fit in anymore. I proudly hang them in my closet and try them on twice a week or so. The other day I thought I would try on a pair of twenty jeans and guess what? THEY FIT!!! Here is my current weight.

I don't have much of an appetite lately. The stress of my life has got me down so I'm afraid I'm not eating to healthy...actually I'm hardly eating at all so the weight is coming off fast. Soon I will feel a bit more motivated. For now...I'm feeling pretty good in my size twenty....not so small....but feeling good in...jeans.

240's Oh How I Love Thee!

Its been a long time since I have seen this number. Its barley in the forties but Ill take it (wink).

I have officially lost 69.2 pounds. That's half of one of my big kids, and more then my (almost) five year old son. Sometimes my almost five year old falls asleep downstairs and I have to carry him up the stairs. It almost to much for me to bare because he is so heavy. I imagine that all that weight and more was on my body and it is crazy to think about carrying myself up the stairs much less my son. I am making progress. It feels good. I'm hoping the rest of my life can go so smoothly.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Weigh in

I know I have not been on here much. Life has most certainly caught up with me.

Can I get a drum roll? My weight this morning was 251.8. CAN I GET A WITNESS!!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!

I am so close to the 240's that I can taste it.

The picture above is me and my son about a week ago (goofy looking picture). When I flip back to pictures back in May then I can FOR SURE see the difference in my face. It makes it worth it.

I am still wearing a size 22. I am able to put on a 20 but I absolutely cant sit down, much less breath so the 20 have been placed back in the closet for awhile.

Currently I am not using any weight loss products, and my exercise consists of my stationary bike or jut housework or going up and down stairs. I do supplement meals for protein shakes only when I don't have time to prepare a meal for myself. Its more out of convenience then weight loss although it really helps the weight loss.

I just cant wait to be skinnier. I'm tired of having tree trunks for legs and a hangy down belly. I'm proud of myself, but there is so much more to be accomplished. Slow and steady is my style I guess.

This still proves to be a LOT of work. LOL I think I'm making progress though. Believe it or not (cause I have a hard time seeing it) I am loosing on average about nine pounds a month. I think thats pretty healthy. What do you think?

To sum it all up. Since I had Tyrus I have lost 66 pounds and since May when I started this whole thing I have lost 46 pounds. I wish it was more. (sigh)
