So things have been crazy and I forgot to post last week with my loss. Last week I lost 1.6 pounds and that brought me to a total of 25 pounds lost. So excited about that!! Then today was funking things wouldn't he as good after turkey and all yesterday and to my surprise I lost 2.8 pounds for the week and a total of 27.8 pounds gone.

Another 2 pounds are gone! Woot! Woot! And today I gave away all my size 16 jeans cause I don't like wearing belts unless it's to accessorize. :)

I weighed in yesterday at 189.8!! I have no idea how long it has been since I could say that I was below 190 and it feels awesome! I've lost a total of 21.4 pounds since September 23. I can't believe it! I've lost 10% of my starting weight. Come on ladies! If I can do this I believe that you all can as well!!!  :)

My latest weight loss news is that another 2.8 pounds is gone and I am now at 192.6.  Hopefully next week I'll be able to say that i am below 190! This is a slow process but I am determined to meet my goals every week and lose!  :)

So I'm keeping up with my weekly weight post. Another 3 pounds are gone and that brings my total to 15.8 gone and my current weight is 195.4. I feel great!! :)

So here's the latest from my last weigh in on Friday. I lost another 2.2 pounds. This brought my total lose to 12.8 pounce and my current weight is 198.4. I am officially out off the the 200's and in onederland!!

Ok, so here goes! I've tried forever to lose the weight on my own and it just hasn't worked! Well, two weks ago I finally took serious action and decided to do something about it. I joined weight watchers and started going to weekly meetings and weigh ins. My starting weight at first weigh in was 211.2. This was very depressing as my highest weight i've ever been at was 215. I am however proud to say that on Friday I went to my second weigh in and I am down to 200.6. I have lost 10.6 pounds in 2 weeks! Wish me luck that I will be able to stay on track!  :)

October Health Challenge!

Here is to a new month! For the October Health Challenge... how about picking a time in the evening and commit to not eating after that time. YOU CAN DO IT and I promise you will see results just from cutting out late night snacking. When I first started my no eating after 8 I lost 5 lbs in the first week! We are all different but you will see results!!! My time is 8 and with trying to lose a little bit of the summer chub I packed on I am thinking of changing it to 7 but I will put it on here if I do so I am accountable for the change to my blog friends;)

monthly challenge

KLCE's host Liza challenged herself to do 1 pull up by Oct. 1! She's invited all who want to try! This will be fun! If you don't want to do pull ups challenge yourself to do something you've never done or haven't done in a long time! 1,5,10 whatever will be a challenge! Liza says video your challenge Oct. 1st & share your accomplishment! I'm going to push myself to do a dozen pull ups by Oct. 1! I've wanted to do these again for a while.

What are you going to do?

Maybe we can start a monthly challenge?! What do you think? I think I will...
This month we all do our own thing unless you want to do the pull ups.
when this one is over we can all agree on a new challenge for a month!
I think I like this bc it will give us a constant challenge.

Thoughts???.....

Why so serious?... I don't know...maybe I feel chubby lately and get to spend a week in the hospital! Soon I hope I feel normal again:/

Pre pregnancy weight!!

So my baby is four weeks old and I am 3lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. I am so excited and I have no idea how that has happened. But I won't complain. :)

9 weeks and counting!!!

So I have 9 weeks left and I am feeling pretty good. I had an appointment today and the doctor said I am measuring a week and a half early. Wouldn't that be great if it actually happened. I also have 7-8lbs left before I hit the dreaded 200 lbs so if I did go early like two weeks early and only gained a lbs a week I would not hit 200. Here's to hoping.

I look horrible in this picture but I told Cameron to take it because I keep forgetting to take pictures of my belly. Funny thing is I have a picture of me when I was 8 months pregnant with Carson and wearing the same shirt. I can't find it right now or I would have put both on there to see a comparison between my 1st and 3rd pregnancy.

Well I hope you are all doing great and I will keep you posted when we have the baby.
Have a great summer.

FrUsTrAtEd!!!

NEVER in my life have I actually WANTED to WORK OUT!

I have come to that MAGICAL day-- I actually do want to! However, with my back doing whatever it has been doing, I have not been able (for a few months) to do anything more than a leisurely walk (doc's orders). And as a result I have put on a few pounds. I'm Not Happy About It!! I wish I could just get moving and do me some biggest loser exercising!! I look in the mirror and feel completely frustrated with the way I am looking and then all I want to do is eat, eat, eat, just to make myself feel better because that is the drug of my choice! AAAHHH!! Why am I stuck with this horrible food addiction? It's not fair! I can't hide my addiction, it sits around on me for all the world to see, screaming out, "Hey, look at me, look at me!" When all I want is for it to shut up and disappear! So I am hoping that my back will hurry up and get better so that I can start to move again! Plus, I'm going broke paying for doctor appointments!

It will happen,

and

I will take back my life again!

MY 12 WEEK CHALLENGE IS OVER!

I am weighing in tomorrow! aaahhhh! Through the gym I go to! I am so nervous. The prize is a CRUISE so it is a big win! I have told myself the whole time that "I AM WINNING!" It motivates me to do my best. Will I actually win? I don't know! But it will not matter bc I have won anyway. I have become MUCH more aware of how dependant I am on food and how I can cope with those feelings instead of eating my feelings! I am also to my goal weight and have learned and will continue to learn more how to be healthy and strong!

I want that cruise really bad but I am so grateful for all I have achieved and learned through this challenge!

Wish me luck and I wish you all the best on your "lifestyle change" journeys!

You are all amazing women and can accomplish anything you put your mind to! And remember... this is a day to day thing not an overnight victory. It's ok if we eat a whole candy bar. Just wake up the next day and start again!

Something else I have learned is I need a sponsor just like people sober from alcohol or drugs do! I have used my sponsors and I am so thankful for them in those times of weakness! Bobi you are amazing! Thanks for answering during the play, I really may have eaten the WHOLE bag of popcorn:) You saved me that night! My mom and sister are also 2 people I know will help me.

Find a few people and use them. They will support you! It's so fun!

Sorry to ramble, I am just so excited about this. And wanted to share a few things that have helped me to get where I am! If any of you need me as your sponsor just shoot me an email and I will get you my number!

Keep on keepin' on!

Brandi

See ya after the weigh in!
