Low Carb, High Protein

-That's how I'm losing weight. I haven't completely deprived myself from carbs or anything, but I've cut back, a lot. I don't use buns on my hamburgers. I use squash instead of pasta. I get no sugar added or sugar free stuff when possible. I bake with Flax meal instead of flour. I try to work out 3 to 4 times a week (when I'm not sick). Even if it's just half an hour of walking or biking. It helps! So I'm down to 151. I fit in pants I didn't fit in before. My shirts fit way better and I I just feel good. I see a big difference all around.

Bye bye!

I'm down more weight :) it makes me rather happy! 153.4!! OH YA! I'm not eating sugar or starches (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes)... This step of my diet is 10x easier then the first 3 weeks! HOLLA!! Wish me continual luck on my weight loss... 13.4 pounds to go!

Surprise, surprise!!

I just decided.. I love working out! I didn't love it when I tried to lose weight last year (which I did but the meds made me gain it back and then some) BUT back when I was in college, I LOVED WORKING OUT! I think it was cause I was thin and cute and I felt good working out, not discouraged. I tend to feel discouraged sometimes because I'm not seeing results right away. Since I've lost 15 pounds so quickly I feel good about myself, and not discouraged... make sense?? YAY I'm excited to work out tomorrow :)

Am I nuts?

I think I'm bigger than I think I am. I look at the people on Biggest Loser and some weigh 20 pounds more than me and their pant size is smaller then mine... but they look bigger then me. I have issues... so discouraging. I have a huge butt and thighs. I went down to 153.8 but then I weighed myself today and I'm back to 155... I guess it's to be expected when you stop the strict diet and eat a little more. And I'm working out so I could be gaining muscle. But I better not gain any more... AH FAT SUCKS! Why do we have to gain weight? Can't we just live day-to-day with out adding the worry of weight gain? GRR!

Losin and Lovin It-- sorta

I love weighing less but the eating healthy thing has been very trying!! I haven't had starch or sugar in over a week. I've had to exercise major self control. B-day parties, get-togethers... just plain weekends- it's tough I tell ya. And I'm ornery and a bit nutty.. but I can't let myself give up. I just can't do it. I want to, but I can't!

I'm down to 160.4 pounds now. I know last time I said I'd post my measurements but, as ironic as this sounds, I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get the paper. But I know I've lost at least 3 inches so far... and it's been a few days since I measured. So maybe I've lost more. ANYWAY! that's that :)
