Okay well I may not be the fattest girl at school anymore but I used to be. Perhaps even the biggest girl in the building. You may be thinking I scared everyone into thinking if they didn't run they would turn into me one day, but alas that is not the case. So how did I do it? The truth is I honestly have NO idea!
I went running with my buddy D yesterday. We were discussing how far she had come and she told me that I was to thank for that. But I didn't do anything! All I did was tell her I was…

I apologize for falling off the face of the blogosphere (yet again) but it has been very hard for me to keep up with this site as well as with blogging. To be honest, I really haven't been into it because I am slowly but surely falling out of weight loss mode. I have not fallen off the wagon...I guess I have climbed aboard a different wagon of sorts. This leaves me feeling like I have nothing to contribute and nothing left to say.
Anyway, things have been great all around. I have been maintaini…

I know I haven't been around for a while and in the world of weight loss blogs that usually means falling into a deep abyss of weight gain never to return. However, I am happy to report that not only is all fine and dandy but I am now an official lifetime member - I am also now a weight watcher employee as well!
So thanks to all my BTL friends for checking up on me! I am so sorry about falling behind but I have been so distracted and busy lately that the more I fell behind the more I put off co…

Okay, so Roni is right - I have been one of those people that have not been on here as much as I'd like to. I really apologize for not catching up with everyone's posts and I promise to do that in the very near future but not tonight. I am wired and don't want to go to sleep just yet.
My friends/weight loss buddies came over tonight so that we could watch biggest loser together. Afterwards we somehow got into a conversation about toxic friends and how people can be so negative. I have a few fri…

Well, I did it! I didn't think I would, not this week anyway. I weighed myself on Wednesday and it didn't look like it would happen. I was so nervous that I was shaking when I got on the scale...my leader and my friends were standing there waiting to see what would happen. I honestly cannot believe I did it - I never thought this would ever happen in a million years. Me? At goal?! But it was true! I was down 2.8 lbs for a total of 89.8 lbs down :O)
So there you have it! It was a truly magical m…

Okay I am going to try and stick to posting my menus. I am sure this won't last but it doesn't hurt to try, right? I used about 1/2 of my flex points this weekend (mostly for bread type items but I also had almonds yesterday) but will probably try and stick to core foods the rest of the week.
I went shopping today again for some much needed clothes. I seriously can't ever find anything to wear and it's really starting to depress me! While out I stopped at the book store and picked up Jillian Mi…

So I weighed-in today .2 lbs lighter!!! Woohoo!!! Since my last weigh-in I had a Halloween party, a wedding and a trip to the city. The husband had tickets to see the View and we had a ton of fun and got a lot of free loot. I don't know if anyone saw the Thursday episode but we were there! Anyway, afterwards we went to a fabulous Cuban restaurant and I am sure that didn't help matters this week!
Having said that, I now have only 2.2 lbs till goal. There is nothing getting in my way this weekend…

Happy election day everyone! Hope everyone rocked the vote today - I know I did :O)
My last weigh in I was down another pound. I am 2.4 lbs away from goal!!! Well I was as of last Friday :OP
Friday night I had a blast. The husband and I went to a Halloween bash. It was a lot of fun and I dressed up as Cyndi Lauper. A bunch of my friends did an 80s rocker theme (Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and Slash from Guns and Roses). Yeah, it was pretty awesome.

catching up with my body.
Things are going well here on the weight loss front. I still continue to lose weight on weight watchers. I pretty much stick to program with the exception of one night on the weekend when I allow myself to indulge. My exercise routine is going really well too. I find myself "off" if I don't go running. I have been pretty good at running about 4 times a week and have just recently stepped up my mileage. I was doing 3-4 miles per run and now I am doing 5-6. I found the f…

Insanity.
Okay I know this is going to sound a bit insane but it's true - I weighed in today and was down 7.4 lbs. Yes that's right...7.4 lbs. I am less than 5 lbs from goal and I have no idea what to do with myself I am so excited. I have never been so close before and it's SO close I swear I can almost taste it, and let me tell you, it's DELICIOUS!
So what happened this week? I think it's more about what happened
last week. I was so bloated I was miserable and uncomfortable. I am not…

Wow. What a week! I wasn't surprised that I was up this week - it had been a tough week for me. I had surgery on my mouth on Tuesday and I couldn't exercise. It's amazing how different I feel when I can't work out. I was sluggish and hormonal all week. I think between the antibiotics, pain medication and my cycle being out of whack it was just inevitable. I was on program most of the week but I wasn't eating as healthy as I normally do.
The good news? I am trying to turn things around. I finall…

I had such an amazing weekend. Saturday morning I ran my first 10k race! It was a blast and I will definitely try to schedule more 10k races in rather than 5ks if I get the chance. I finished in 1 hour and 5 minutes and did not stop once. I had to fight a bit with myself but in the end I won! I can't tell you how good it feels to decide to do something and to (as Nike says) just DO it without any hesitation. Getting fit and running these races has really boosted my confidence in what I can do. I…

how sometimes a .6 pound loss can feel SO incredible??? I celebrated my birthday this past weekend, indulged in all sorts of horrible things and I STILL lost this weekend. Unbelievable! I will take it and hopefully not take it for granted.
Things have been hard for me because I have had so many social occasions on the weekends. I keep waiting for it to slow down but it just keeps going full steam ahead. Again this weekend I have a wedding on Saturday. For those of you not familiar with Long Isl…

Enough with the negative self-talk people!!!! Attitude is everything - get your heads back into the game!!!I have seen a lot of negativity going around this place as of late and it seems to be coming from people who (shall remain nameless) but are wonderful supporters of everyone else on this site!!!!
Please extend the same courtesy to yourselves.
Thanks for reading! ;O)

The good news:
-Things went pretty well at the end of next week. I weighed-in on Friday and did hit the 160s!! I was 169.2, down 2 lbs for a total of 80 lbs lost.
-I ran my second 5k on Saturday and
shattered my last time (35m25s) at 30mand29s!!! It was pouring rain and i just felt so awesome. It's great being rewarded for all the hard work I put into this.

I am sorry I haven't posted or been keeping up with blogs - I have just been so busy lately! Here is a quick catch up and my plans for the week.
The wine tour by bike was a great success! By success I mean that everyone got drunk and yet home safe and sound with just some minor injuries ;O) To answer some of your comments from my last post, I organized some friends to bike through the North Fork of Long Island. We took the train out East and brought our bikes along with us. We stopped at a whop…

BLOB! That is because I haven't done a bit of exercise in 5 WHOLE DAYS!!! My arm has finally healed (well the muscle has but not the bruising). I must admit I've been really antsy not being able to run or do anything these past few days. I wanted to give my arm plenty of time to heal before attempting rugby again. More so I wanted to be ready for the wine tasting tour I will be doing by bike this weekend - I can't wait!
In other news I have become a rock band addict! The husband picked up rock…

The good news: I had a TON of fun yesterday. I went to Jersey for a rugby game and although we got killed (again) the game went well, the girls were super nice and we had a lot of fun afterwards at the drink up.
The bad news: My arm is hurting me
really badly :O( I was going in for a tackle at full speed and unfortunately the other girl was like a brick and ran through me pretty badly. Pretty much everyone saw it and were all like "ooooooooooooh" when we collided and they said it looked…
