Goal Weight

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:45:29 EST

So here I am! Monday I weighed myself and I got to my goal weight. I know weight fluctuates due to a lot, so I am also taking measurements and tryin to hit my goal measurements.

But hey!! Go ME!! Feeling good about it! Trying really hard to be consistent to lose this body fat!!

Today the word is motivated

Mon, 20 Aug 2012 23:04:16 EST

Let's see about tomorrow, right? No. Since today is motivated I am only going to focus on today. taking it 1day at a time. I am following the advice of the other SP'ers and going on a 1200 diet to lose some body fat then working on muscle.

I hope I can do it without falling prey to the sweets!

Guess who is getting super doughy?

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 23:05:43 EST

Yes, Me. Here is a picture of my middle. I am working on getting the body fat % down more but I have heard this is even a lot harder than losing weight when you are already heavy (for my original weight).

Please know I realize many would like to have even what I have and for thoe of you thinking well i want to work with what she has I do not detract from that fact regarding your weight I am just voicing where I am on this mentally and physically. Out of breath, no endurance, weakn...

Consistency is not my friend right now

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:01:00 EST

So I am realizing what must be holding me back is inconsistency and the inability to say no to the sweets and bad foods. How do I stop tho? I have very few supporters in real life, 1 call for my birthday. now, and even online I am a loner.

What the hell am I gonna do?!

10 minute t rainer

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 01:07:26 EST

Ate bad tonight. Fiddle faddle and girl scout cookies.

Also, did my first 10 minute trainer workout. Hopefully I keep it up! I am focusing on easy does it and keep going no matter what! If I mess up I dont get off the horse i jump right back on! Who is with me?!

Once again!!

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:27:56 EST

Grr! so I just went to the doctors yesterday and I was weighed.. oh yeah.. 110 lbs right? Yeah, not so much. At what cost have I gotten to this weight? Now I am lighter but unhealthy and sick. :(

I must find a nutritional happy medium!

On again, off again but at least on?

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:27:29 EST

So, here I am once more.. trying to get fit. I have realized my lack of consistency in meal planning as well as working out and lifting.

I found something online that said if you can find 2 minutes a day and do that for one two-month, you will get to fitness. The theory behind it is 1)it will become a habit (and of course the minutes increase) and 2) that anyone can start with just 2 damn minutes. You cant honestly say to yourself without knowing its BS that "I just didn't have 2 ...

Trying AGAIN..

Thu, 8 Sep 2011 13:15:31 EST

You guys must be wondering gee what is wrong with me? I keep telling you i'm starting but not finishing?! I got into a car accident last week.

I posted the day 30.

On the Wagon.. Again.

Mon, 8 Aug 2011 16:58:58 EST

Here I go again trying to get the weight in order. I need to get more motivated to work out when I DONT WANT TO. That is my current issue.

Anyone have any advice besides "just go do it?" That has not been working for me. Thank you!

Lost My Job! Can sparkpeople help me stay on Track?!

Accountability

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 19:01:27 EST

I love it and I really need it. I have been slacking on p90, not so much with counting the calories but def with going over AND with freaking the workouts.

My excuse to myself is that i dont have weights at home so I cant join tony and the gang. Then I dont work out. Or I say well i dont have time today so I skip.

I am working out about 3 times a week but the goal is 7! Im never gonna burn 1000 a day at this rate. One only needs to take a look at my shared nutrition an...

I cant believe I am still here! I have not reached my goals yet, as I gained weight but not in the way I wanted. LOL.. so now I am working back down my weight while keeping up the work outs and the cardio. The negative thing about this is my belly looks huge to me now! :( A couple positive things I have noticed from gaining the muscle and fat weight and that I love..is I am hella stronger than I was before and have my breasts larger! :D

Cardio is tough to keep on doing!! I dont k...

Day 41

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:54:33 EST

Woo hoo.. Karen and I are going to start working out together I think. I have a work out buddy and we can pray at her gym.. how cool that was!

I am working hard on my p90 and trying hard to keep away from the myriad of sweets at my temp job. Those gov't people eat a lot of bad food and have terrible ideas of ergonomics.

Gonna work out now cuz I am goin to movies with Conor tonight, I will prob have a med popcorn w/ butter.. not too much tho (as is my custom to pile on ...

I have been at it again for 36 days!

Sat, 6 Feb 2010 18:19:13 EST

I feel good. Worked out for 45 min and had 20 min of cardio. I am about to begin studying for my exam on the 18th. My sister is coming to CA! I cannot wait to see her!

On the man front, still no changes. No man to speak of. I hope someday soon with my new body I will meet a quality guy I can share and spend time with. Not that my body will have anything to do with it, but the sex will assuredly be more "ACTIVE" :P

Most importantly, is prayer and reverence for God and le...

Day # ..who knows?!

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 02:04:07 EST

Well, it took a year but I am finally at 110. I think I am going to stop here and just try to maintain this weight. I dont want to be 115 anymore. I feel like my ideals of begin bigger were just to fit in with a larger population, however, now I know that my weight and size is perfect.. it is they that were out of control.

I am going to just focus on maintaining good balance and a healthy diet. I began smoking again, but I am stopping and tryin to not over eat to compensate for t...

That Wii is great!

Fri, 5 Sep 2008 22:55:55 EST

Working on my balance today. Good times! I am getting much better at my yoga postures and holding my weight. Tomorrow I have class at 7:30 am but i have studied so I think I am ok. Next weekend we have our first exam.

My roommates birthday is 9/9 aww.. I will be back in NY. Situating things and preparing for the next months of my future. I hope I get to see my family.

Lets see where am I today? So far, I am at 1182 calories. I feel like I have eaten so much already..bu...

Day 80 something!

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:44:36 EST

Chk the new bod! Gained 1 lb! Woot! Today is my meeting with the Dr. I did not lose anymore pounds..which is awesome and means she wont send me away.

I am really working hard on it to get to 5 lbs. Beginning swimming in open water and in my pool for some muscle definition and cardio.

I am working on the Wii Fit for balance and strength which has also been helpful in getting moving believe it or not.

Day 70 something!

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:07:16 EST

Well, this month was not very good. Even the Dr. said I better eat more or she is sending me away. She said she knows Im not anorexic and that I have a good bill of health but she is concerned about my weight loss.

I am working on getting to at least 1600 calories a day, right now I am eating about 1300. =( and I have lost about 4 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I am probably going to start drinking ensure with my meals.

I think it is also because I have recently begun smokin...

Day 50 something!

Sat, 31 May 2008 22:38:39 EST

Well, I fell off a couple times but I am realizing this is a challenge that I can meet. The diff this time around?

I am ok with falling off! The point is to get back on as soon as I can. It's ok to fail or cheat, but I am not giving up! Love SPeople.

Day 3

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:46:53 EST

so far 3 days of high fiber diet and 3 days of consistent pooping.
3 fruits at least
5 servings grains
3-4 veggies servings a day

No wierd infections as of yet and drinking cranberry juice 2 x a day with alot of water. Energy is good not great but I am looking to improve NOT be perfect.

Also all this is going on during a breakup and job issue. hmmm..kudos to myself for handling it so far.

Day 2

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:45:29 EST

Day 2.. still going strong. A little tricky there in the am cuz I had stuff to do and was again tempted to skip on bfast, but I still stuck to it and actually grabbing the breakfast on my way out.. and ate it while i waited in line at the DMV (while on the phone and taking care of personal things).

This am was strength training and stretching. Tonight after dinner I will walk/run for 20 minutes.

so far 1 visit to the crapper for #2, but hopefully again by EOD today. :) <...

Day 1

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 02:46:43 EST

Today was day 1 of my first road to health and fitness. I stretched and did the treadmill. I ate breakfast! I also ate lunch! and I recycled and was very motivated and went to the bathroom 2 x in the same day! It is very werid eating 3 times a day and I have to make sure I get to every meal. I am not eating fast food anymore so cooking in has become something of an important deal.

I look forward to tomorrow am.
