Well, I'm back... It's been a rough time here. The job situation is a mess (with an unemployment rate higher than 15% in Michigan, there's a lot of people struggling in the department of a job. I stopped "dieting" when my husband and I found out we were expecting another child. Sadly however, we lost the baby at just over 12 weeks. The loss spiraled me into depression, and with it, depressive eating. The vicious cycle of eating because I was depressed caused me to gain weight causing me to be even more depressed... sigh Does it ever end? On a lighter note, my baby-girl just turned 1 year old. She is my joy and helped hold me together and keep me going. I am not defeated or conquered by my weight, I am here, I am trying again. That is tripumph! CURRENT WEIGHT: 231.5

CURRENT WEIGHT: 231.5

So this week I am at 191.5 Thank God I still am losing a few pounds! I really need to get back into exercising. I was doing it at least 3 times per week, now I just don't want to... sigh I have been sick and it's just so hard to get going these days! ARGH I am so tired of seeing pictures of myself and thinking MY GOD I AM FAT! I want to stick to this and keep going... Why do I sabotage myself? Why am I my own worst enemy? At least I still lost some. I'm here though, and that is signs that I will keep going. I haven't given up yet, but why do I feel doomed to be fat the rest of my life?

sigh So depressed lately... Winter is dragging me down, and so are problems in my marriage. I was at 194.5 on Sunday the 18th. Weight is still going down, so that is good, but I am losing ALL motivation. I want to eat the food that to me actually tastes GOOD, and usually that's always the fattenin stuff... I have NO motivation to exercise at all, and just can't seem to get in gear about it. It's like I am dooming myself to be fat the rest of my days, so why should I try so hard to lose weight that is NEVER going away... Hopefully I can pick myself up soon.

Keeping up motivation to "stick to it" is getting really difficult! I have no drive to exercise and my self-control when it comes to saying no to junk food is breaking down... sigh I always do this. I've got to work through this slump and keep my eyes on the prize of being healthy. I made a list of goals and printed them out to share with my family and friends. They are going to help and encourage me to "stick to it" and be sure that I do reward myself when the milestones I indicated are given the rewards deserved! RESULTS: 199 this week. Another 6 pound loss. I've reached my goal of losing 12 pounds before Valentine's day for the Vallentines Day Challenge!

Results were much, much better this week than last. I'm getting better about doing my workouts, and that is helpful in a big way!!!! I'm still doin mostly walking workout with leslie sansone videos, but am trying billy blanks and some firm videos this coming week. RESULTS: 205.5 this week which is a 6 pound loss from last week. I have 71 more pounds till I reach my goal. That's a 20 pound loss since I started on Dec. 1st.

211.5 this week. That was a gain of 2 pounds. I'm not going to be too harsh on myself considering how many parties I've gone to... including 3 family get-togethers, a work party, and a wedding... UGG Well, I'm glad the holidays are nearly over. It's right back on track for me!

I weigh myself once per week on Sunday mornings, before I do my workout or eat any breakfast. I am going to post the reults honestly whether good or bad for my records... Hopefully one day soon I can look back at the wonderful changes in my body and my weight and say "Hey! Look at that progress and give yourself a big pat on the back! You did it!" Hopefully... someday... Sot eh results this week are 209.5 That means I lost 5 pounds even this week. Considering it's the Holidays, I am not expecting the same results this coming week. That means in total so far I've lost 15 pounds, and now have 80 pounds more till I reach my goal!!!!

Last Sunday (my weekly weigh-in day) I lost my first 10 pounds! 10.5 to be exact! I cut out and REALLY hegan paying attention to my sodium intake, also I increased my water intake and drink nearly 1 gallon per day. I believe most of the weight I lost was water weight. Sodium makes me retain a ton of water, but either way, that was my first 10 pounds!!!!
