I don’t really have time to write a post right now, but I will at least show you my chart. Hope you all are doing well. I can’t wait to get to my next goal!!! My next mini-goal is 214lbs for personal reasons and then obviously 199 is my next big goal.

My Weight Chart:

Hey guys!! Sorry I haven’t blogged for so long, but school and such have taken over. Also my best friend just moved in this weekend. She is now living in J.J.’s and my upstairs. It is kinda weird but I am really happy she is in Oregon. We are both from Washington and we have been best friends since 6th grade.

Alright so last week I didn’t even want to go to my weigh in because I knew I had gained. Well I went and took it. A two pound gain. I left my meeting. I didn’t even want to sit there. Well I came back in today with a 5.6lbs loss! That is the most I have ever lost in one week, granted I had gained 2lbs the week before. Anyway though I am really really happy and into the 240’s now. Now if my weight spikes it will probably only be around 252. I like this. I have now lost 36.2lbs and can almost taste a 40lb loss. I still am hoping to get to my 50lb loss by Christmas. I think this is doable. 13.8lbs more to go.

Alright girls I am off to do some homework. I have been reading all your blogs even though I haven’t been posting my own and I am proud of all of you.

Well I didn’t lose the 2.4lbs this week to get to my 10%, but I did lose 1.8. Hip hip hooray It was kind of weird though… every-time I weighed myself this week it was either the same weight as I weighed in last WW meeting or a spike of like 3lbs. I never weighed myself at the time I usually weigh in on Tuesdays, just periodically throughout the day; so maybe that was it. Sooo frustrating though. I like to weigh myself during the week to guage my progress, but obviously it does not do that haha.

I am not going to put my weight loss tracker in my posts anymore. I have put it on the side of my page; a 10% goal and my first 50 pounds which I am more than half way done with now having lost 27.4lbs. Boy I wish I could just wake up like 130lbs lighter sometimes. It doesn’t feel like it has taken me that long, but 15 weeks is a long time! I guess if I lose like 1.5lbs a week on average, it will take about 87 weeks or 609 days, or roughly 1 year 8 months. OMG that is such a long time!

I feel like it wont be possible to lose 130 more pounds. What if I can’t? I have been doing 45min on the elliptical mostly everyday at the gym, sometimes it is half an hour. I do some ab/arm exercises for right now Mon, Wed, and Fri. I am hoping to bump the 45min up to an hour on the days I don’t do other exercises. Is it possible to consistently keep losing weight? I feel lost. I don’t know rather to eat my allotted WW points which seem to be a lot, even though I have lowered them several points with my weight loss or should I do like 1,000 calories a day? I do not know if I can exercise more than I am right now, especially with school starting soon, and now I am volunteering with DHS to help find relatives or other connections for foster children. I know I have said this already, but I am feeling so lost! I guess I need some advice.

Should I be taking certain supplements or vitamins? Is there something in addition to eating healthy and staying active that I could take to improve my efforts? Sorry for all the complaining and whining, but I do feel a little better having gotten some of that out. I have been reading some new sister’s blogs and I just want to say that you guys inspire me so much.

Hi everyone,

Gosh I know it has been sucha long time… Summer classes were insane, but they payed off! I got a 3.0 for the summer term which brought my overall g.p.a. up and I was also allowed back into the university for fall. It is weird because I do not have anything to worry about right now and I almost do not know what to do with that.

I am going to try to blog more often now that I have a little bit of a break. I am also down to 256.8lbs for a total loss of 25.6lbs. It cannot be just scale fluctuation anymore. I had a hard time believing that I would actually get under 260lbs, and now that I have I am just excited for what is to come.

Thought I would show you guys this graph too.

My Weight Chart:

Pretty cool huh? Yeah. So I only have to lose those 2.4 more pounds to get to my 10% weight loss of 28lbs. I would love, love, love to lose those 2.4lbs this week, but I have lost 3lbs two weeks in a row and I don’t know if I am lucky enough to do it a third week in a row. It would just be awesome if I could do it because next week will be my 16th week at WW and for some silly reason, 16 weeks is significant and you get a nice keychain that you can put other award metals on (for instance, I got a thing today that represents a 25lbs weight because I got to my loss of 25lbs today). I thought it would be cool if my 10% was on my 16 weeks day as well. Kinda stupid but I don’t know.

Well our two insanely hyper Jack Russell’s are acting crazy right now and distracting me, and also I think J.J. and I might go to Wal-mart and print some pictures.

I’ll try to post again soon.

Okay I know I have not written in the past couple of weeks but summer classes are kicking my ass. Don’t worry though, I have not fallen off of the weight loss wagon, I am still working at it. I may not be doing as much exercise as I should, but the intellectual exercise certainly tires me out.

Last week I weighed in at 267. That is a 1.2 pound loss. Today I weighed in at 264.8 for a weight loss of 2.2lbs. It is crazy to me that I have lost 17.6lbs. I have a Jack Russell Terrier and it is funny to think that I have lost her in body weight. I feel empowered and just can’t wait to lose more. In WW when you get to your 16 weeks you get a keychain and I am starting my 10th week this week. I am hoping that by my 16th week I will have lost my 10%. This is completely doable. I only need to lose 10.4 more pounds to get there.

Anyway I hope everyone is doing well! I have been trying to keep up with your blogs as much as I can and I think you are all doing well. Keep up the good work okay?

Hi all! Hoping everyone has been doing well! I myself have been very busy with my summer classes. I have two tests this week and two papers due. It is hard to do a 4 week class, let me tell you. They don’t make it easier, they just cram a 10 week course into 4 weeks. I am feeling overwhelmed but am maintaining.

I weighed in yesterday. I actually got to go to the meeting time I originally went to because I slept through my alarm for the earlier one. I was just a little late to class but this is okay with me. I got to see the people who I had missed and we had a different speaker fill in for our normal one who has lost 80 pounds and is still losing. I lost 3 pounds! I was very happy with this.

There is my updated ticker. I didn’t realize that it changes all the old ones too, so I am sorry if you read old posts and it makes it confusing. I am really happy that I am still losing weight. For some reason I feel like it won’t keep coming off but boy am I thankful that it is. I really want to get into the 100’s so bad. I don’t remember the last time I was there, probably late middle school? I don’t know. Anyway my points went down as well. I now get 33 points. I started at 35 so this is kind of cool.

Well I best be starting on my papers. I have nothing to distract me because my dogs ate my cell phone. The new one was supposed to be here today but alas I was not home to sign for it and I cannot call to tell them I will pick it up this evening. How annoying!! I texted someone to ask if they could call for me and they did so I will be able to find out when I can pick it up. I don’t even talk on the phone very often so it is weird that I feel so disconnected. I think it is the fact that if I needed to make a call I couldn’t.

Talk to everyone soon!

So I had to get up at my version of the crack of dawn today. I have to fit my WW meeting in before I go to class now so that has made my Tuesday a little chaotic. I didn’t stay for the meeting, but I got weighed in and I have lost 1.8lbs since last week. Just shy of 10lbs total. I am happy with my weigh in today. I mean of course I can wish that I would lose 5lbs a week but this is probably not likely.

I have been riding my bicycle all the way home from the University lately instead of riding to the bus and then riding home from the bus station. I have to stop about half way for some water but this is fine to me, because it is hot out and I feel that it is necessary. I want to get something to attach to my bike that will tell me how far I have ridden. I am not sure how far it is. I feel that it is 4 miles or maybe a little more or less? haha. I will have to look into it. Maybe they sell some sort of milage thingy for bikes at Wal-mart of Fred Meyer.

Anyway another busy week of school. I would like to write more often on here, but I am really trying to get a high g.p.a. for summer quarter. So although my weight loss is still my highest priority right now, I will most likely only be writing about once a week like I have been. I do check my e-mail on a daily basis though so I know when I get a comment and am more than happy to reply. Hope everyone is doing well. Back to note-taking now.

Well I have been pretty busy this week. I started my summer classes on Monday and am in class Monday through Thursday from 1 until 4. This requires me to leave my house at 11:45 in the morning. I ride my bike to the bus station which according to mapquest is .86 mi. When I get there I take the EMX which is this new apparently green express bus that just goes between Springfield, OR and Eugene, OR. Gas prices are so high and this is such an easy way to get to campus, not to mention I get exercise. This way I can ride my bike around campus, and since I only have a 10 minute break between my two psychology classes this allows me to get to the next one on time.

We are however having the track trials for the Olympics on our campus which is just making everything very chaotic and insane. Roads are closed, no parking, things are fenced off, it is an obstacle course just to get to my classes. I suppose it is cool though that somehow the Olympics are connected to where I am living.

Last Tuesday I had my weight in at WW and I wasn’t expecting to have lost weight because it was my TOM and I had looked up online whether or not you weigh more during your period or not. The general consensus was that we weigh anywhere from 2 to 5 more pounds the week before and the week of our periods. I also had to go to a different meeting than I was used to because of my class schedule. It kind of sucked because I was getting used to all of the people at my other meeting and I am really going to miss these two crazy women that do the happy dance every-time someone loses weight. They are so cheerful and really motivating. I ended up losing .8 lbs so I was thrilled that I at least hadn’t gained any weight. I am really looking forward to hopefully losing more at my next weigh in.

I also went on this fabulous bike ride with J.J. last night. I wanted to ride over this bridge that is just a walking/biking bridge that goes over the Willamette river. It looks so cool from the road but I had no idea how to get there. There are so many biking trails in the Eugene/Springfield area. As near as I can tell it was about 2 miles from our house to the bridge area, maybe a little more, and then 2 back. So yay I didn’t even know I could ride that far.

Well I have an academic advising appt. here in about an hour. Hope everyone is doing well and is having a great summer so far.

So I didn’t update a lot towards the end of last week, because it was sort of an off-week I guess. I did the treadclimber on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a mile. Friday J.J.’s family got into town for his graduation: his mom, his dad, his four aunts (3 of his mom’s sisters, and one of his dad’s), his little cousin, his uncle, his grandpa and his grandpa’s wife. A lot of family to meet, but it was fantastic and I loved them all.

Everybody was asking me if I wanted something to eat, personalized m&m’s, cheesecake, chips, chicken wings, lots of yummy things. I had a couple of grapes. I was really proud of myself.

The next day we got to the hotel to meet everybody early and get shuttled to the campus. Graduation was great and I am so proud of J.J.. I knew I was going to be at the hotel all day so I just tried to keep my portions under control and limit myself to a small tiny tiny inch of cake. It was yummy. I never eat my 35 bonus points anyway so I just enjoyed my day.

The only problem was that we had to go back home with all of the leftovers. This included a half of a costco cake, a giant zip loc bag of the m&m’s not to mention 2 more unopened bags, chicken wings, the rest of the croissant sandwiches, dips, chips, lots of stuff. I felt like I had ruined my day because I hadn’t followed points all day. I figured that since I had ruined it anyway I was going to have another piece of cake (this one much larger I might add), and a couple handfuls of m&m’s; tomorrow would be a different day.

I did alright Sunday. I was back to the points system and I really really thought about exercising again. I made one of those really good pizza’s with the wheat Boboli crust for dinner with my yummy WW mozzarella cheese. It tastes so good that I feel like I am eating something sinful. I did however have some more m&m’s. But I feel that this is something I learn from right? I learn from my mistakes. I kind of took a detour if you will from my Points System for a day or so and realized why I need to stay on my WW plan. Once I start eating those bad things it is like a compulsion. It is like I have alcoholic tendencies towards food and it sucks.

When Monday came around I did my points. Still no exercise, but I felt much more on track. I was still kind of depressed about the way my eating had gone the past few days though. I thought that a gain was definitely in store for my weigh in the next day. I decided to take it out on a very tiny 1 inch by 1 inch piece of cake. We were going to throw it away the next day anyway and my week was blown right? Wrong!

I weighed in at my weight watcher’s meeting this morning at 275.4. I had lost 4.6 lbs! Well really 4 minus my .6 gain last week. I was so surprised. In fact I thought my scale at home was faulty. I weighed myself at home this morning twice before I left. I got off the scale and then back on it again because I thought my sight was wrong or something. So when the WW scale confirmed mine I was thrilled. I even got to get my first 5 pound sticker at my meeting.

When I came home I started off my Tuesday right with my usual breakfast. I then did my mile on the treadclimber!. Back on track baby.

So this morning someone is knocking on my door. I am in bed still. I get up, go to the door, it is my neighbor. I think your car has been broken into she says. I go outside and sure enough, rubber around the window is all off, shit is all over my car, my ipod is gone! I am not really a materialistic person so normally I would be like fuck it and just curse the people who did it. However, I had just downloaded like 200 plus fitness playlist songs to start working out too. Grrr!!!!!!!

Now the more important thing…. My battery to my car is probably dead, I need to be at WW weigh in within a half hour, JJ is at school… AHHHH!!! Also the police told me to stay… well JJ got home and I took his car and he stayed. I only lost 3 pounds. I know that word only is a bad word. I know I still lost weight, and 3 pounds at that. I remember saying if I lost a pound a week for 2 years I would have lost more than 100 pounds. It isn’t like I can lose the 150 I need to lose over night, or even over the week. So why am I upset? The two other girls that joined last week both lost more. One of them, an older women lost 5 point something, and the other girl around my age who isn’t even fat lost 6 point something. Err. I am happy for them though, I just wish I had lost 5 pounds.

Updated ticker:

New plans for the week:
Actually take a daily vitamin

Try to eat all my daily points
Drink the required milk
Eat the required fruits and vegetables
