I did it!!

My whole body is shaking and I have jello legs again but I did it, I finished the Ramp It Up section of Slim in 6®. The last few minutes of stretching all I could think of was "I need a shower" so I stopped the DVD and jumped in the shower.

I really can feel this work out working. Yesterday I really felt like my waist was smaller so I had my husband do my measurements. Sure enough 2.5 inches off my waste, 3 off my hips, 2.5 off my thighs and 2 off my arms. I'm amazed! That side oblique crunch she has you do is a killer. I showed my THIN husband the move last night, he did one and said "that's hard". Debbie Siebers says in the DVD "if you do this every day your waste will get thinner"...SHE'S RIGHT!!

This is only my 3rd week doing her DVD. I hardly worked out in December and gained back 2lbs...which to me was great considering all the eating I did all month long. So anyway I know darn well that the inches I got off didn't happen between Thanksgiving and New Years..They happened after New Years when I started giving 100% again.

I am really feeling good and I feel thin.. by no means am I THIN!! I am still in that "Morbid Obesity" category. But working out every day, sticking to my diet plan as dropped my BMI almost 10 points. Just a little more work and I move out of Mordid Obesity into Obesity yippie...lol what a funny thing to be cheering for, but it's the little steps that are keeping me going!!

I watched Heavy on A&E last night. Anyone see it? Wait, I'm still talking to myself.. nobody is reading my blog, so of course nobody saw it, nobody is here! Well it was inspiring. Hard work, diet and exercise does work...no need to jump on that gastric bypass band wagon. I've had several friends who went that route and some of them have gained the weight back!! What did they learn? Did they work out? nope!! so none of their habits changed and they still are eating unhealthy foods.

I have one friend Cheryl who fought with her weight and with hard work and exercise she's at a healthy weight! You can read her success story here.

Well my son is jumping all around asking for an apple, guess my blogging is over! I hope it's nap time soon, we've been up since 5:30.

Thanks for reading my big fat @$$ blog

Saturday....

Saturdays are usually hard to stay on my diet. Something always seems to be going on, someone will call and ask us to go out for dinner....but today was just a do nothing day. So I was able to stay on my diet.

When I made my family dinner, I thought about having a bowl of pasta, but then I thought about how bad I want to lose the next 30lbs, so I past on the pasta. It's those little steps that make me know this time I'm going to be thin!

Thanks for reading :-)

Weigh in is tomorrow

My official doctor weigh in is tomorrow but my scale doesn't look like it's moved :( I wasn't 100% on my plan over last weekend but I got right back into working out and being good, so it's making me mad that the scale hasn't moved. I shouldn't get too upset because the doctor's scale is AMAZING... it just doesn't say a number or flash a sign saying "you're fat, you're fat" it gives me a print out of my water weight, muscle weight and fat weight. So even if the number doesn't change, I can see I lost fat and gained muscle or water weight.
I didn't get to be as big as a multi-family house over night, so I'm not going to get to a condo size any time soon and I'm fine with that as long as I continue to make good choices.
I'll be back tomorrow with the official results of this weeks weigh in.

Took me long enough

I don't know why it has taken me so long to post my first post on this blog. I think about it almost every day but some how I don't make the time...that's going to change.

This blog is about my weight loss journey and I don't mean a Gastric Bypass. I am dieting and exercising and getting help from The Center for Medical Weight Loss.

I have NEVER been thin as an adult...or even a "normal" size. I remember weighing 100lbs and being told I was fat since I'm only 5ft. So the idea of being anything other than FAT alludes me. But I'm not giving up.

Sometime last June something clicked in my head that the only thing I could control was what I was eating... Hence my start to my new goal.. getting thin and loving myself aka project 143. for those that don't know 143 is code for I Love You..I didn't know either when I first heard it.

Since the end of June 2010 I have lost 33lbs. To have a healthy BMI I have a long long way to go.. so I create small goals for myself. Right now my goal is to get into a dress for a wedding this coming June. I hope to have lost at least another 30lbs but would be jumping for joy if it was 40lb.
