Slow and steady

Remember the fable about the tortoise and the hare?

Slow and steady wins the race. I need to remind myself of that often! I get frustrated when I don't have a great success, however as long as I'm moving in the right direction I'll finish!
This week was a step closer down 0.9 pounds!!! As long as its a negative sign I'm happy!

Fridays!

Friday are either my favorite or least favorite day, depending on the scale....
This week it was my favorite! NO SUGAR paid off.

Down 2.9 pounds!!!

I currently weigh 272.9 pounds!!!!!!

Friday the 13th

I've hit a rut...again. I've got to figure out how to get out of it!!!

Fun fact: My first weigh in was a Friday the 13th! Here we are again Friday the 13th!
Then I weighed 312 pounds NOW 275 pounds!!

"Diet"

First of all I'd like to say I lost 3.1 pounds this past week!!! It's a nice feeling to be at a weight I can't even remember the last time I weighed that much! :) 273.8 pounds OH YAY!!!

Now-I want to know what you think when you hear the word "diet"?

I personally don't like the word, because of an attitude of my mom that she got from Dr. Phil.

To me a"diet" is a short term thing, a quick fix, it's a fad. I'm after a life style change! I don't want lose weight to gain it back or go from one crazy thing to another. Anyways, the reason for the diet question is a friend has used that word a lot about my eating habits and in a way it bugs...BUT then I think who really cares what they call it Because the recognize that I AM losing weight!!!! Let me know your thoughts on "diets".

I'm really wanting to give up...

BUT then I remember I'm 4 pounds away from having lost

40 pounds!!!

"Before" was taken November 2009

"After" was taken May 2011

Can you see a difference?!

"There's no shame in losing weight" --Justin from The Biggest Loser

When I get discouraged by a small weight lose I'll think of this quote!

I AM losing weight and doing what need to be, I'll get there in time!

Another thing from a recent biggest loser episode...Brett took his team out to hike and be in nature. I personally can't wait till it is warm and I can exercise outside!

Bring on the warm weather!!!

Results

DOWN 1.1 ---a whole pound finally!!!

Results is what I want...Results is the reason I might have tried out for The Biggest Loser.
I decided not to tryout, Because I need to prove to my self that I CAN do it on my own.
(Of course with the support of all my family and friends)
I think The Biggest Loser is great show, that I love to watch.
However I don't know that I really need/want to go though all that it would Intel.

So that means you still have to put up with me cause I'm not off LA to be come the next reality star! Ha ha
