I cannot believe I have 10lbs left to reach my goal. I have lost a total of 63lbs and I feel great!! I can’t imagine how I’m going to feel once I reach my goal. This journey has been hard, I’ve cried, I’ve jumped for joy, and I’ve been mad at myself but overall it’s been a lesson on a new way of living. Going from a sizw 18 to a 10 is such a great feeling. Hoefully I won’t mess up too bad at Christmas dinner and if i do I’ll burn it off the next day =) Hope everyone thats on this journey is doing good, and just know that a new year is just around the corner for a new you =) take care and Merry Christmas to all.

I’ve been doing great with my eating and exercise and yesterday I weight in at 170!! So close to being in the 160!! even thought I was expecting my TOM. Ever since I lost weight I’ve been so regular with my period and my Dr. said it was beacause being overweight can make you irregula now I know that every 13th of the monthe I get my period at least its been like that for the passed 4 months, so what happned? NO PERIOD YET!!! and I weight in at 171, could this just be water weight? or am I pregnant??? I’ve had cramps and back aches for the passed week so I was sure my period was on its way. It’s hard to believe that I may be preganant again considering that we use condoms buthe does go in with no condom at first (sorry for being too detailed) it’s just that I’m kinda confused, I feel like I have some symtoms, hungry all the time (even though I eat the same) I smell things a mile away, and the cramps and back ache uhhgg maybe I’m just thinking to much of it. Can you guys tell me what you think? Thanks.

Lately Ihad several people say I look great and they ask me how much weight I’ve lost, and when I tell them I want to lose 20 lbs more they say no, that I’m going to disappear. I’ve lost 50lbs total, I’m 5′6 and I’m at 173lbs and even though I know I’ve lost weight I do’t think it’s that noticable or is it just me? I don’t want to become obssed with weight loss but I really don’t think I look that thin. Sometimes I even think people are just saying it just to say it. But why everytime I see myself in the mirror I don’t see a change, I feel so fat. I just hope that when I lose the remaining 20lbs I’ll be somewhat satisfied with my results. Don’t get me wrong I ‘m super proud of the 50lbs I’ve lost, it was not eay but I guess I just need to realize that I’m no model.

Why did I have that slice of pizza!!I know it’s only 1 slice but I’m just mad at the fact that I could’nt control the urge to eat it.

They brought pizza to the office and I was so determined not to get any and all was good until I had to go to the lunh room to fill up my water bottle and I coulnd resist!!! What gets me even more mad is that while I was eating it I said to myself I would only eat half but I did I do? I eat it all! I feel like crap now. I had lost 4 lbs this week already and maybe that slice wont show on the scale but it’s just a personal thing with myself and temptation. I’m hoping I can stay on track for the weekend I really want to loose at least another 4 lbs before my Vegas trip on 9/13/10.

Well buddies thanks for reading, and keep loosing those pounds =)

Finally I’m out of the 180’s. That was the hardest platue. It took me 2 months to move on to the 170’s. I know part of it was my fault cause I would do good the whole week and then the weekend would come and I’d srew up. Im just glad i didn’t go up. Every week I kept trying to put my self in the weight loss mind set but Fridays would come and would loose my will power but finally last weekend I was able to keep up and did not mess up on the weekend even though my family had a birthday party an there was LOTS of temtaions I was just glad to see Monday rool by. This morning I weight in at 178!! My hard work showed and I’m really proud of my self. Lets just hope I can stick to it this weekend since theres another b-day party =/Hope all of you are doing great and keep on shedding those lbs, lets defeat the fat monster!!

I hate this plateau!! I’ve been flactuating from 188 to 186 for the past 2 weeks. I don’t know what else to do to get passed this. I’m not sure if stress and the fact that it’s almost time for TOM. My grandma was just diagnosed with liver cancer but unfortunatly she’s in the final stage. I’m very close to my grandma but what hurts me most is seeing my mom go through this. We’re going to Mexico to see her next week.

How long have you guys been in a plateau? what can help to get out of it. Share your plateau experiances.

Thnaks buddys talk to you later.

OMG!! last night was the end of my first week on the SBD and I feel great!! I lost a total of 6 lbs!!!! I had never lost that much weigh so fast. If you’ve never heard of it befor it’s basically a diet devided into 3 stages and it’s meant to help you make it a life style change. The first phase is the hardes, its no carbs, no fruit or sugars for 2 weeks and its when you lose the most weight then on ohase 2 you reintroduse good carbs into your diet. The first 2-3 days was hard but I feel much better now and I’m starting week 2 so we’ll see how much weigh I lose this week. I’ll keep you guys posted. Wish me luck!!

P.S have any of you done the SBD befor? did you get good results? share with me what you think about this diet.

It’s been sooo long since I’ve been on here, the baby was born on Jun 10, 2009. He is 3 months old now and it’s time to get back to business. During my pregnancy I walked as much as I could andmanaged to gain only 25 lb and I’m now 202. I’m only 8 lbs more from the day I found out I was pregnant. Its harder to find time to exercise now with the baby but my hubby is alot of help. I’m glad to be back and I’m hoping to make new friends for the most support I can get.

As most of you know yesturday was my first prenatal visit with my Dr. The only reason she saw me this early was beacause I was having cramps wich are now less (thank God) She said every thing is fine and where it should be and that the carmps is what they call “growing pains” this just means that my uterus is getting bigger for the baby to have space to grow. They did do a vaginal ultrasound and I was so nervous cause she couldn’t seem to find the sac. Finally after a few minutes of looking for the sac she found it but she was not to happy with the size of the baby right now. In her book I’m 6 weeks and the baby looks five weeks. Since I’m irregular she said it might very well be that I’m 5 weeks instead of 6 but according to a website babycenter.com I am 5 weeks. She scheduled me again for next tuesday just to see if the baby is really growing and maybe she can give me a due date. What do you guys think? am I 5 weeks or 6 weeks the first day of my last period was Sept 2. I’m just so paranoid right now, my close friend had a miscarrage las night and she was 11 weeks. I’m trying to have positive thoughts but with everything going on I’m having a hard time staying positive. By the way I could tell any of my friends about my good news cause I felt so bad for what my friend was going through that I didn’t think it was the right time so they have no idea how this is affecting me too. Again thanks for reading and please pray for all those women that have gone through something like this and for all the babies on the way. I’ll keep you posted on what my Dr says next week. have a Great Day!!

First of all I want to thank you all for the wonderful comments and ideas on my blog yesterday.  Ok so I went to get lab work done and a few hours later I get the call “You’re pregnant” WOW I was sooooo happy. So when I got home my hubby was actually aout playing golf so that gave me time to figure out how to tell him the good news. So I bought a bib that said I love my daddy wraped the pregnancy test with the bib and wrote a small note that said: Hi daddy, I just wanted to let you know that God has finally sent me to be with you and mommy, I’ll see you in June 2009.   Love your baby =)    He could not believe what he was reading and as he looked at the preganancy test he kept saying “it’s not true huh”, you’re lying to me, I kept telling him it was true and I had to show him my mark of when they drew my blood. I was the greates feeling seeing his face light up.  Once he figured it was true he started tearing and so did I and we just huged each other. Late that night I saw him in our bedroom holding the bib up to his face with tears comming down his face. He said he was soooo happy and that he hoped he was going to be a good dad. I just told him there was no doubt in my mind you’re going to be the best dad.

 I have my first prenatal appointment on Tuesday. By the way can any of you tell me what happens on the first appointment?   Again thanks for reading and thats for all the support. Have a great day.
