New year, New goals!

Well, I gained all my weight back, I didn't get back up to my heaviest thank goodness, but close enough! So I started carb cycling about 2 months ago. I did about 6-7 weeks then Christmas week and holiday hit and I took the next few weeks off. resulting in 3 pounds of the 15 pound I lost coming back on. It is time to get back on track. So I start a new journey again that maybe I will stick to. I just really want this to work and to change my mind set along with it so that it will stay off. I am going on a spiritual journey as well. I God I can do all things. :)

OK, so these are old pictures, but I look almost exactly like this, so I didn't worry about taking new picture. I will put my current measurements down below.

Bust 41.5

Midriff 36

Stomach 44.5

Saddle bags 52

UP thigh R 29.75 L 29.5

Knee R 18 L18

Calf R 16 L 15.5 

Arm R 14 L 13.75

I probaly won't update inches until the end of February. I only have about 12 days before I go on a 4 day get away with my husband for our birthday, so I want to give my self time to get back on track after that. I want to check in though with how I am doing at least once a week, Here is to wishing me luck!!

New pictures

Before and after. 45 lbs gone. 20 to go!!!

July 27th weigh-in

So it has been 6 weeks since I last weighed in. I have lost about the same average as I had been. So not any big changes to that. I'm glad I haven't slowed down my weightloss yet. If I could keep losing 10-11 a month I'd have barely over 2 months left. That would be amazing. Over the month I lost 13.2 pounds and 18.5 inches. For a total (in 3 .5 months) 37.8 pounds and 53.5 inches. Yeah! Almost 40 lbs and I have 25 left to go. WaHoo!

Next Weigh-in

I won't be weighing in again until July 27th. It's a crazy long time away, and I think it is going to be hard. I made it through my first normal weigh-in without stepping on the scale. I'm going to be gone for half of them, so I thought it would be fun to see what it's going to be after a little over a month. See ya in a few!!

Week 8

This was a good week, though it started out very bad. For the first several days I was retaining water and feeling like I was starving all the time. I think it had something to do with the Mucinex that I was taking for this horrible cold I still have. All is good though and I stepped on the scale today and was down 4.2 lbs. I almost weigh less then my husband for the first time ever. That is huge and I'm so excited for next week. On my off weeks I have been losing 1.5- 1.75 pounds. That is all I need to pushme over the mark. I'm so excited. I'm also coming close to being able to wear my next pair of smaller jeans. The ones that use to be tight now are lose. I love it. I still would have loves if it would come off faster, but hey I'm doing good. I'm excited to see the 150's.

Week 7 weigh-in

All together I'm at 18 lbs lost and 30.75 inches gone. I feel better then I have in a long time, but I still wish it would come off a little faster. This was ovulation week, so only 1.6 lbs. I wonder how long I will beable to keep up the average of 2 lbs per week, well a weee bit over, over the course of 2 weigh-ins. I hope it keeps that average for another few months. I'm not ready for it to slow even more. I am now wearing smaller jeans and they are getting big. That is a good feeling. Last year when I was losing all my weight. I saw 166 for like 2 days and then went back up to 170, which was my big milestone, now I am officially the lowest I have been in 5 years. Here is to the weight keep dropping off.

Weight: 165.4


Bust: 34.5"
Midriff: 30"
Waist: 30.5"
Stomach: 36.75"

So I am at week six, and I am no where near dropping the 30+ pounds that Janell lost in the same amount of time, but I am still grateful for the weight that I have lost. at this point I am at 16.4 lbs down and 27 inches gone. I was so hoping for a much quicker progress and that part I am a little disappointed, but it's coming off. As sad as it is the biggest part I don't like about not having it come off quick is that I will continue to have to pay for the meals for that many more months, but I want it off and at least it is coming off, so I will stick with it.
