Just can't get out of the 200's!!! lol!

My body seems to like being in the 200's for some reason.. gotta get it out of its comfort zone!! I am now at 201.4.. I am happy to still be loosing but I can not wait to be under 200lbs finally! lol! OHH YEAH.. and I am DONE with HCG! lol! This round I got really lazy! It helped me get to 201lbs though.. but I have decided to do the rest on my own.

I tried Slim Quick.. my sister is taking them and told me to try but It had me sooo anxious and twitchy that I think I have to leave it alone for now.. lol!! It is just not for me.. I can loose 20lbs on my own now.. just get my workout and sweating own! ;)

AND I WILL be posting pics soon! I told ya I am a lolly gager! lol!(spelling) aha!! I am just so busy with my nursing transition class its just crazy right no! lol! but it will work out! I need to get the posting soon with the pics! ;)

New Low today :)

I am down to 202.6 as of this morning with me cheating EVERYDAY! LMBO!! It is just so hard.. haha!! I may have gained a couple today but I am happy to have a new low now! YEAH!!! 22lbs more to goal!!!!!! :)
But I will be happy with loosing 12lbs more on this round of HCG.. I think I can handle the last 10 on my own! ;)

Im taking a break from the HCG! :) I am happy.. will come back to it later..as for now...

I will be mixing cardio and weight lifting. This morning I got up and my scale read 215.2 so a .2 weight loss. I have to decided to move on to Phase 3 now. So now it is the maintenance phase for about 3 weeks.. Sticking to veggies and protein but now I can up my quantity and portions. I can now incorporate oils/butter and dressing etc.. but still hold off on the starch until the 3 weeks are over. I plan to do this and then move on to phase 4. This phase will allow me to start including my starches in a controlled amount to get my body used to it.. but with me.. I have been doing some carbs anyway! lol! SOOO.. I probobly will be introducing myself to carbs more sooner than 3 weeks.. but I will still limit my portions..

I am extremely happy with my weight loss! :-) I plan to loose the next 15-20 on my own and then go back to HCG for the next 20-30lbs and then I think I will be okay.. I think I may change my immediate goal weight to 175lbs! :) lol!

215.4!! :)

DOWN ANOTHER 2LBS!! YAYA!!!!! :) IM HAPPY.. I REALLY THINK THAT I AM GOING TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE HCG AFTER THIS WEEK.. JUST FOCUSING ON GETTING TO 207 NOW.. THEN I WILL TAKE A BREAK... I THINK IM HITTING A PLATEAU ON THIS.. SO I WANT MY BODY TO TAKE A REST FROM IT FOR A WHILE SO IT WILL WORK WHEN I GO BACK ON.

SO WHAT MY PLAN IS TO WORK OUT/EAT RIGHT TO GET INTO MY "ONDERLAND" :) WHICH IS SOOO CLOSE!! :D

THEN I WILL GO BACK ON HCG TO GET ANOTHER 20-30 LBS OFF .. THEN HOPEFULLY AT OR CLOSE TO GOAL! YIPEE!!!!
(SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS.. AT WORK I TYPE WITH CAPS AND I TYPED HALF OF THIS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE IT.. NOT YELLING) :)

BLESSINGS & PEACE!! :)

217.4 :p... YES> I CHEATED! lol!

I have GOT to stop cheating but the good thing is that I was able to maintain.. my goal for this week is still another 10lbs and I will try my hardest to do this. I have decided that when I get to 197lbs I will break from the program and do my maintenance for the next 3-6 weeks after. I am ready to start eating! lol!!!! but maintain of course. Soooo pray for me! :) I know that I can do it!!! Through Christ all things are possible! :)

*** Update.. after I fully got up.. the scale said 217.0, I need to make sure that I stop weighing myself too early1 ;)***

Yesterday 219.0.. today 217.4!!

I noticed that I was starting to plateau at 219 that is why I did not post yesterday so yesterday I tweeked my eating... I left out 1 apple and one of my meals but instead earlier that day I had one slice of wheat bread with like two slices of deli meat and like a 1/2 back of those 100 calorie snack pack.. (A Cheat , I know) but I needed it for energy b/c I was doing ALOT! I made sure I drank at least my 64 oz+! lol!!! and I walked for aobut 45min at work but also the morning I wend to the market with both kids and walked two supermarkets by my house. So I consider that a workout too.. So about 2hrs and 45 min of walking all together if I include the grocery shopping. I am slowly going to incorporate cardio into my routine to get my weight loss a boost to make sure that I get to goal of loosing up to 187lbs on this HCG. That will make 50lbs!!! I think I can do it. Then I will take a break for about 6 weeks and possibly start up again. My first goal on HCG is 207lbs though. So If I reach this first and need a break I will be okay with that too.. that would make a good 30lb loss!

Blessings and Peace! :)

220,0! -1.6lbs :) *****Ahem, I mean 219.4!*****

I cheated a teeny tiny bit yesterday. I had a fiber one bar. I am stll happy with my loss. I am aiming to be down to 217 by Sunday! 3 more lbs,I think I can do it! :)

***After about another good hour of sleep... I weighed myself again... See I woke up a little too early and weighed myself without getting my normal amount of sleep time in.. So when I did I saw a lower number on the scale.. 219.4!!!! Im super excited for the extra treat this morning! ;)*****

I would like for my blog to just be read by my fellow friends/followers not outside people.. the resason is I do not want nosey "family" or so called "friends" reading this and knowing all my business... some things are just meant to be kept without them knowing.. I just feel that If I do not tell you then it is none of your business. I do not mind letting all my blooger friends know because we interact with each other in these aspects. But other people can be really funny and not want to tell you their business but all up in yours... gest what I am saying?!? Well if anyone knows how.. please let me know.. I can not figure it out. :(

And if you are or think you are the family/friend I am talking about.. Please do us both a favor and STOP READING!! I dont know all of your business so dont get up in mine.. Just got to figure out this block feature :) ;) Thanks for your cooperation! :P

221.6!! Happy Hump Day!!

So not quite out of the 220's but I will take it!!! May be at tomorrows weigh in! :)
I am soo excited.. Decided that I would like to make my goal no later than my birthday in September.. That would be of 165lbs! Once I hit 200lbs.. (which is like 20lbs away) This goal will not seem so far reached! Only 35lbs from that! YAY!!!! IM super amped to get there! My Short Term goal would be around 180/175lbs which I plan to be if not less by this summer! CANT WAIT!!!! ;) Cant wait until I am maintaining!

ME and Hubby are doing our budget and by the power of God this thing WILL workout! lol! This is a serious matter because we need to manage our spending and get our credit in check. We plan to pay off some creditor this year (well a majority of them) and try to get our credit rating up at least an additional 150 pts each! I think we can do it with no problem since we have a plan. So I am excited about this process. We want to buy a house in the next year to year and a half!

Back on Track Baby!!! 223.6lbs this morning!!!! :)

Things that make me smile.. God .. my family.. and my scale (now) lol!!!! I am soo happy to see my numbers drop.. I am thrilled to be almost out of the 220's!!! (*edit) YAY!!!!! It is getting easier for me to do this.. I don't crave the sugar/carbs at all.. but it doesn't mean that I don't want to eat any! LOL!!!! It smells good but there is no real urge to act on my senses.. Which is a totally good feeling.. Makes me feel like I am in control! All thanks praises glory and honor due to God.. He is helping me through all of this! THANK YOU LORD!!!!

I pray to come out of this diet strong highly motivated and full of Joy and happiness.. I can feel and see the transformation and it feels AWESOME!! :)

I am already pumped to start chaLEAN.. I am excited with the extra weight that I will have off of me, it will help with my workouts.. Right now during HCG my WII fit and walking are my friends. I may try to incorporate some weight lifting for my arms this week.

10lbs down in less than a week!!! WOW!!!

227.0 WHOOT WHOOT!!!!!! NEED I SAY MORE!!! Thank you Lord for helping me stick with this diet! :)
I know its a fast weight loss but I am promising myself that this weight is gone for good.. RIP to the excess that I am loosing!!! With my maintenance and workinging out phase after this, It will help me maintain and if not loose more until I get to my goal weight! :) THinking about doing beach body or P90X after my first round of HCG.. This should help with loosing too. 2 more lbs until my short term gaol and 20lbs to go until I am at my 30lb loss for my first round of HCG! YEAH!!!!! :)!!!!!

I CHEATED! ;( BUT STILL LOST 1LB :)

229.4 THIS MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE 230'S AND ON MY WAY TO MY SHORT TERM GOAL!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a little bit upset with myself that I cheated, but I was soooo hungry last night!! lol! I was honestly looking for a gain yhis morning but instead a 1lb loss still! I got to keep my motivation up at night! That is what really gets me unfortunately :(! Last night I gave in and had a Fiber One bar and a deli sandwhich with BBQ chips! lol! I was HUNGAAAARRRYYY! So I need to stay on track now.... seriously! I am trying to loose 22 more pounds within the next 2+ weeks and then my maintenance starts! we shall see!
:)

230.4!!!!!

So I am on P2VLCD3 today.. and when I did my weigh in this morning the scale said that I was down to 230.3lbs!!! YAY!!!! I am soo excited!! Now let me tell ya.. I am thankful to God that I did not get that migraine again and I will continue to pray tha it doesnt happpen again but it is not easy!! lol! I hope it only gets better as far as cravings and hunger pains.. I was craving everything my nose could smell yesterday! lol! it was sooo sad! I ALMOST cheated.. I even had a dream that I almost cheated! haha!!!! (with waffles) ;)
But since I am seeing the scale move, this is definately motivation to keep going. My goal with this Round of HCG is to loose about 30lbs.. More if that is possible! But I will be happy at 30lbs. Then I will take my break and maintain or try to loose the couple to get to Onderland then I will possibly try another round to get under the 190's! :) So this is my plan.. we shall see if it will happen this way!

Peace and Blessings to all of you! :)

Hi Everyone!

It has been crazy in my neck of the woods lately.. hence I have not been able to post like I wanted to. I will try to get back to it more often. :)
I have just started to take HCG .. after much research I decided to try this for myself because I was noticing that I was on a plateau at my 237lbs and it was driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!! I am currently on day 2 on phase 2 on my VLCD.. I lost 3lbs the first day!!!!!!!!! So my weigh in is $234.2!!!! YAY!!!!! I pray that this is helping and beneficial to my weight loss.. The only side effect that I have noticed is the crazy headache (migraine like ones) err!!! It woke me up out of my sleep!!! Good ness!! I hope that my body gets used to it and I stop getting these headaches!

Alot has been going on .. trying to pay off debt and buy a car.. we pray that we are able to get a house in 2012! I know that God will help us get to our goal.. we just have to follow His word! I am soo excited!! YAY!! ;)

Peace and Blessings to you all! Talk to ya soon!! :)

237.2!!

So I weighed myself first thing in the morning and this is what my scale had me at. I am happy but I feel that I could of done better.. but yes, we are still learning not to beat myself up over this! So I am content in knowing that I will not be bigger than this weight and I am keeping true to my promise and not increasing my number! But only decreasing!!! My small goal of 225 will possibly be here withing the next month and a half. So what I will do is continue to focus on exercising and eating right and not getting on the scale every week. I will probobly do a weigh in, in like 3-4 weeks that way it will please my psych to see the scale drop significantly. My ultimate goal is to be in onederland by my 30th birthday in September and I totally believe that this is attainable if I stay focussed on myself and put God first so that he can allow to give me the strength for me to continue.
Thank you LORD!!!
p.s. I missed my 3rd nutrition class today. It really means that I will have another month tacked on to my 6 month process..So I am not really upset about this. I am praying that I do not need to go through with this surgery at this point.
We shall see!

Today's not a good day

So far today it is not going very well for me.. Dealing a little with PPD and its just not a fun thing.. I also binged somewhat today because of my feelings. I am overall not in a good mood.
I went to the doc for my 6 week post partum check up and stepped on their scale and it said 249!!!!!!! WHAT!!! I mean I know that my scale could be off from theirs but not by that much! Then I find out that my BP was 140/something... I blocked out the bottom number when I heard 140.. Then I want to extend my maternity leave which the office won't have a problem filling out the paperwork for but my stupid job's insurance people for disablitly may give me a hard time with allowing it to be paid which means that I will be returning to work sooner than I would want to.. I really do not think that I am mentally prepared to go back to work yet personally.. So I will pray about it and trust in God to work this out..
So I came home and weighed myself and my scale at home said 246! Now, I know that I said that I would wait until next week to weigh myself but because of the number today I just HAD to try at home. Now this is very disappointing and it makes me feel horrible.. This scale is so mind controlling! I hate it.. that is whay I wanted to stay away from it for a week or two.
It is wierd because I have noticed that I am loosing in all areas of my body.. serious inches.. ( I have not measured before nor now but I can feel and see it in my clothes) So I guess this can count as a NSV! :)

Yesterday the hubby wanted to eat out at JAke's Burgers.. So since I knew this ahead of time I ate a lower calorie amount of food for breakfast and lunch and watched my snacking and made sure I worked out so that I wouldn't feel that guilty eating out. I got their Gardenburger sandwich and it was good.. I shared fries with the hubby and had water to drink. So I think that I did good.

hmmmm... sooo here is what I have ate so far today... I am not proud of this but I need to hold myself accountable for what I am doing...

Protein shake (1/2 banana, mixed berries)
Water (64 oz)
Fiber One Bar (90 calorie)
Sugar free fudge bar
6 Hershey Kisses (3 almond, 3 reg choc)
4 Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies
Oatmeal with applesause
1/2 Glass of Red wine
Sushi (DYNAMITE ROLL-8 pieces of {Eel,asparagus, spicy tuna, tempura, special sauce}, SUMMER ROLL-6 pieces of {Fresh tuna, salmon, yellowtail, superwhite tuna and avocado, lettus, wrapped with soy paper})

It has a lot to do with emotional eating and I have to get that into control.. At some point I do tell myself to cut it out and stop it.. and then I stared to write this blog.

Other things include me still waiting on the letter from my school saying that I was admitted into the nursing program .. Im praying I get it.. rEally I want a seat really bad... but now I am getting scared .. I am going to stay as positive as I can be and try to avoid negative thoughts..

Off the topic but I am sitting here watching MTV.. Does anyone watch the series "I used to be fat"? I like watching them.. they are very motivational.. Makes me want to work out.
I may take a day off from working out today.. not sure as yet.. I am just not feeling it right now and the hubby wants us to go out tonight. We shall see...

To Weigh or Not to Weigh/// Snacks

I think that I may take off weighing in this week. Not to be unaccountable but because I want to be out of the 240's and I do not want to dwell on another week with knowing a number on the scale on this. I will not let the scale determine my victories all the time! So for now I will focus on NSV's being able to fit better in my jeans and shirts and then possibly weigh in next week so it will be 2 weeks since the last weigh in. Hopefully I will be in the 230's by that time.

My last post I said that I would put down some snacks that I eat now so I just want to put it down now.. Here are some...
Frozen grapes
Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge bars
100 calorie pack choc covered pretzles
slice of wheat bread with 1 tsp of PB
Handful of nut-trition nuts
Fiber one Bars
Adkins Bars
Greek yogurt or light 'n fit yogurt

Thats all for right now, Im sure this list will grow when I come across more healthy ideas for snacks :)

I do not like this scale// Tuesday Weigh in

First sorry about the pics.. I tried to post this really quick because the baby is crying and wants another botle.. So anyway... I weighed myself this morning and yes I lost but these are the readings that I got... First was..










Then I decided to weigh myself again and I got...


It is not a big significance number between the two but it does not give me a solid number.. so I went with the higher one.. the 243 so that if I loose more next week it will make me feel better.. ( I guess it is mind over matter :/)

Today is also day 11 of my Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.. which means I start circuit 2.. I pray I can keep this going.. I was not motivated at ALL yesterday to exercise.. so I took a day off.. So I only did 9 days of circuit one.. but I am okay with that.. At first I wasn't and on top of it all I ate tons of chocolate.. (well, it was Valentines day, right?!? lol!!! ) BUT I know that I will have to be realistic with my eating habits.. I am not really doing cheat days so I have a treat or so when I feel like I can but in moderation..
