Just thought I would quickly update everyone since I didn't on my last WI which was on Sunday 9/20/09.
I didn't lose but I didn't gain either so I am totally OK with this. I am not going to lose every single week cause then that would make me perfect and I am FAR from perfect :)
Any ways I am still OP and doing good so far. Trying to limit the bad carbs as much as possible because that is my down fall. I am carb sensitive and have been all my life although I didn't know it until I gained all t…

I am happy to announce that I have lost 2.4 lbs. this first week back on WW.
I was sooo happy to see a loss that I wouldn't have cared if it was only a half pound loss ....but I will take a -2.4 lb. loss :)
This first week really wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be for me. I just told myself that I am not on a "diet" but a lifestyle change.
I know that this journey will get hard at times but this time I am prepared for it because this is MY TIME and I will get to goal this time!

Well today was my first day back on WW and it has been a GOOD day! I really haven't felt at all deprived or hungry which is a good thing.
Usually it's the little psychological games that my mind plays on me that leads me to failure. But I am determined to SUCCEED!! My health depends on it and I WANT IT damn it!
I am a faithful person ...faithful at my job , faithful in my relationship with a great guy, faithful in going to church, faithful in every single thing EXCEPT being faithful to my body…

Well I took the summer off ...although I did not plan that , it just kinda happened :( I could just kick myself but I am going to STOP feeling sorry for myself and just DO THIS ALREADY!
I have gained all the weight I worked so hard to lose back but I am NOT going to let that stop me. I NEED to get this weight off! Right now I am going to concentrate on getting down to 299 lbs....that is my FOCUS now!!
Tomorrow I am starting back on WW and counting points! Tonight I plan on rejoining WW online…

Well this is a little late LOL but it's been a busy world for me and I just haven't had the time to get on and blog. Sorry! Any ways last weigh in which was on 5/20 I maintained. Honestly I wasn't upset like I usually get because I am trying a new approach and it seems to be working for me. I told myself ..."Michelle this is OK because you are doing what your supposed to be doing" and that was the end of it.
I started off my new week strong but for Memorial Day weekend we went to San Antonio, T…

-1.8 ...woooo hoooo!! I am so proud of myself right now that I can't keep it contained! I have NEVER lost on the 2nd week of ANY PLAN so this is an exciting day for me. This morning I got up on the scale with the attitude that I had either gained or maintained but that it would be ok and I would stick to the plan no matter what I saw on the scale so boy was I SURPRISED when I saw that I had lost -1.8 :)
I feel soooo good and this just goes to show me that when you work the plan it does WORK!! B…

Well yesterday was my first WI day with WW ....I lost -6 lbs. and I am very happy with that!! I know I have a long way to go but this time I am NOT GIVING UP ....I GOT TO DO THIS FOR ME!! I DESERVE THIS :)
I think I have this fear of losing the weight ...I know it sounds weird because it's something I REALLY WANT but when I start to lose any significant amount of weight I always seem to sabatoge myself by doing something dumb!
There are alot of reasons why I gained all this weight in the first…

I usually weigh in on Saturday mornings but because I restarted WW in the middle of the week my new WI day is going to be Wednesday mornings :) So I have not had my first WW weigh in day yet although I am excited because I can feel the difference in my clothes already :) I have done well so far and this weekend was a bit of a challenge as they always are for me but I have done well point wise and making wise choices like only drinking water or Iced tea with splenda in resturants and asking them…

Well I gave it my all with the six week body makeover and although I was successful the first week with a loss of 11.2 lbs....I started to teeter off of it by the weekend :( It's a very strict weight loss plan and I think that is why I just couldn't deal with it as well as I have with WW. I do like the concept of good lean protein, good carbs along with fruits and veggies but what I didn't like was NO sugar ......I find if I deprive myself of desserts that what finally happens is I end up bingin…

This weekend I got weak and I went totally off my plan :( At the time I was just making "excuses" to why I needed a break , I mean my God I just started this new plan on 4/13 and here I am having to confess my screw up :(
So I was curious to see what the weekend brought so I got on the scale to see (another promise broken to myself but I was curious). I gained 5 lbs. :( Now I was disappointed but I knew that I was going to have a gain because I was OUT OF CONTROL over the weekend.
Any ways tod…

Yes I have an obsession with the scale and I need to BREAK it now! I never used to be so obsessed with weighing myself but I have gotten into this bad habit of doing so. It's like I can't wait until my weigh in day (which is every Saturday).
So what do I do this morning but get on the scale and it said I was up two pounds :( I was soooooooo discouraged and wondering what did I do wrong on this new plan? I have been faithfully following it to the tee so why am I up two pounds!
Today was my wake…

Well Saturday 4/18/09 was my first WI while being on the Six Week Body Makeover and I lost -11.2 lbs :) I realize that some of it is mostly water weight but that is ok ....I was happy to see the number on the scale go down FINALLY!
I am really enjoying this plan to the fullest and it's not as hard as I thought it was going to be ...of course there is alot more preparation to this plan than there was with WW but to me that is no big deal since I work from home.
It's just amazing how after just…

Well I think I am finally getting past the sugar cravings...FINALLY! I have a major sugar addiction and it really has put a dent in my weight loss. I usually go down and then go right back up ....and alot of it is because of sugar.
I love sugar and most people can just eat one piece of cake and be done with it ...NOT ME! It's like I am totally addicted once I get a taste and it really sucks , especially when your trying your hardest to lose weight.
Any ways I started this new diet (I hate the…

Hi All .....
Well as you all know I gave up on "MYSELF" and I have not been in the lifestyle change mode at all ....that is up UNTIL yesterday :) I kind of took a break and boy did I pay for it! I have gained 10 lbs. since my last post on here and it totally sucks and I am not happy with myself but no need to beat myself up ...what is done is done and now it's time to MOVE FORWARD!!
I was on WW before and I did lose 25 lbs. although it took me 5 months to do that and to me that was VERY DISCOU…

Well here I am once again in "failure" land :( I was going strong for several months and then unexpectedly I got very sick with the flu at the start of the New Year and from there everything went down hill and I have been gaining ever since! I am so disgusted with myself right now and I know I can't GIVE UP this time and I don't want to but I am having a very hard time getting myself back on track now that I am well enough to do so. I need ALOT of support, encouragment and motivation at the mome…

Hi All ....
I am still around and trying to keep within my WW points but I have been really, really sick since Jan. 1st and it's been nothing but hectic since the New Year started for me. I have NEVER been this sick in my entire life and I just don't know why it's happening to me. On New Year's Eve I got sick with the flu and I am talking I was down for 9 days with the stuff but finally got over it and within a week of getting over that I got a bad case of bronchitis which I had for two weeks :…

Well my WI this past Saturday was a good one ...not disappointing to me at all since I was so sick the week before. I lost 1 lb. and I am proud of that 1 lb loss :) December was a busy month and then I got sick with the flu on New Year's Day so my WI that week was off and I knew that so it really didn't count.
I feel 100 percent again and am getting back on track with WW and on my way to getting to my mini goal of getting under 300 lbs. This is a BIG DEAL for me and I am working hard towards th…

Well I am still here :) I have not quit , I have not given up, I have not stopped being OP. December was just busier and crazier than I thought it would be and between working extra hours, family, friends, and parties and holidays I just haven't had the time to get on and blog.
New Year's Day I got really sick with the flu so that is how my 2009 started and I am still recooping from the flu and took off work today because I still don't feel 100 percent :( Any ways I am here and I haven't gone a…

Well it's another maintain for this past week's weigh in. I have had several maintains throughout this journey for the past 16 weeks and I really have no idea why because I have been staying OP to the tee!!
I am NOT allowing it to get me discouraged because I know with all of my hard work the weight will come off but this time I am going to learn how to be patient and just allow my body to do what it needs to do. I have not had a significant loss for several weeks but I am NOT going to allow th…

Well last night I got quite the surprise and it was just BEAUTIFUL!! It snowed here in Spring, Texas .....which is a suburb of Houston and I just still can't believe it! The last time it snowed here was in December 2004 but I didn't get to see it because it was only in certain areas of Houston and I happened to live in Tomball, Texas at that time and we didn't see it so this was a real treat for me :)
I know you northerners would probably laugh at us but around here snow is a real treat!! Last…
