AS of this morning my weight is 206. Almost there to ONEderland!! I had the goal of being below 200 when we went to California and I still think that's obtainable. Its 6 in a half weeks away,, I should be able to accomplish that. Then my next goal is getting into a 12 pants size. I've hit a size 14 now but apparently theres a pretty big jump between the two. My mom had a size juniors 13 shorts at her house that I tried on and I couldn't believe how much smaller they are compared to my 14's.
Everything has been going pretty well. I've been keeping up with my exercise and after 3 weeks our elliptical is finally fixed so I can use that again. As far as food I'm doing pretty well, staying within my calories and if I want something really bad then I just have it. I just make sure I have the calories for it. Overall though I try to keep it pretty healthy. Lots of lean protein and veggies and fruits.
I also hit my 100 days on my fitness pal. Logging my food has become second nature. I don't even think about it anymore. Just do it. Everyone that has a smart phone should download the myfitnesspal app. Its so helpful!!

3 more pounds gone forever!
I had a 3 pound loss this week!! Very happy with that! I changed up my exersize this week. I dont know if maybe that had something to do with it. I also tried to try and stay a little closer to my calorie goal. I was being under by a few hundred calories.
That means I only have 14 more pounds til I hit ONEderland! I hate having a 2 at the begining of my weight and it will be great to have a one there! Heres hoping for another great week.

Real numbers
Lordy,,,, I dont know whats overcome me but I'm going to post my weight and measurments.. Yikes,, there is a knot in my stomach as I type this! But I'm hoping it will help keep me accountable and after all its just a number,, It doesnt define who I am. Here goes nothing. I will list my starting numbers and my current ones
Jan 2012 weight-246
May 2 2012 weight 215.2
I would also like to add that at my very biggest I was 300 pounds!!! This was a few years back before I lost weight the first time around. I lost 118 then. My lowest weight I have ever been in my adult life is 183 pounds. Then I got pregnant with Emma and let myself have all the foods I had deprived myself of while I was dieting and gained way to much weight with my pregnancy and just never got it back off. :(
I didnt exercise that time around either. This time is different,, my whole outlook on losing the weight is diffrent and I'm exercising at least 5 days a week so I think my outcome will be different... at least the way my body looks.. I should be more toned with the working out. My original goal this time was 175 which is still at the high end of my "healthy weight range" according to the charts. I've changed that and would really like to get down to 160 if I can.. Actually 150 but I just dont see that happening. Honestly we will just see what I look like and feel like at that time. I want to be able to maintain my weight without starving myself so I guess time will tell. 160 still sounds heavy to me but looking at pic of me at 183 I really didnt look bad! I am 5'10 so take that into consideration too.
Now for some measurements I wish we would have done these at the beginning but we didnt take them until a few weeks ago so the numbers I'm posting are only a 2 week progress
4-18-12 4-27-12
Neck 14................13.5
Waist 40.5 ...........38
Hips 44................43
Rt arm 12.5...........12
Lt arm 12.5 12
Rt leg 26 ............25
Lt leg 27.............26
Yes I realize that my legs are a inch different..lol,,, No clue whats up with that!
So there you have it.. Now if I can get the courage to click post you will all see these numbers. The only reason I'm doing this is because I know they will go down.
And just for fun Here is a pic of me and the family at Christmas time
And this was taken a couple weeks ago.. Not full body shots but if you look close at my face I think you can tell a diffrence!

Sore
Thats what I am,, sore sore sore! That's ok though,, that means what I am doing is working! I've been staying on track with my workouts and food! On Sunday Ben and I went to Spiece gym and I got to work out with my sister and Ben worked out with Jason who is training for a bodybuilding contest! Ben defiantly got his workout in! As did I. Dawn and I worked out pretty much our entire body all in one day. She showed me what she does throughout the week and gave me some new ideas that I can do here at home. It was really nice to be able to use the equipment there but overall most of the stuff we can still do at home with our free weights. Maybe one day when life slows down and Emma gets a little older we will be able to get a gym membership but for now I think we are making the most of what we have. '
I took some of the stuff she showed me and reworked my fitness plan adding some things here and there on different days. As of last Friday I've lost 19 pounds! And Ben has lost 40!!!! It feels so amazing to be working so hard towards our health. I just feel like a better person. Its hard to explain... Oh and last week I had my first person outside of my family notice my weight loss. A person I babysit for occasionally was picking up her child and said I was looking great and she could defiantly tell a difference!!! That made my day! I've been waiting for someone to say something. I'm not fishing for compliments but I can tell and was wondering when others would be able to start noticing. Its very obvious when you look at Ben but mine has been a little slower going. I'm sure also whenever I buy some new clothes that fit a little tighter,,,(mine are all getting loose) it will be more obvious.
