Sorry for the sideway picture, I forgot to rotate it before I uploaded it. I've lost 4.4 lbs since last week for a total of 19.2 lbs in 4 weeks. I only hope that this weight loss continues at this pace.

Weigh In- Week 6
Well I had my week 6 weigh in tonight and I was totally surprised to see I had lost 3 lbs in the last two weeks. I had to skip weigh in last week because I was in New Orleans and I tried to eat good while I was there and I walked alot but I still didn't expect this much of a loss. I had two milestones tonight, I hit my 5% goal and I hit 15.6 lbs lost. I'm so happy right now and I hope the weight loss continues. My next hurdle is to hit my 10% goal which would be 27 lbs total lost. The journey continues.

Weigh In- Week 4
Well I had my weigh in tonight and I lost 1.8 lbs. I know this sounds good and I should be happy but I was disappointed. I talked to my leader after the meeting about how I was feeling and we both decided that I needed to stop setting such high goals. I had set a goal of hitting my 5% tonight which would have meant I had to lose 3.4 lbs but in the back of my head I really wanted to hit my 15 lbs loss mark which would have been 4.8 lbs. I know now that both these goals we're to high. I just figured if I ate right and stayed within my daily points that I would have a big loss and I have to quit doing this to myself. I'm tired of everytime I weigh in being disappointed. So from now on I'm just setting a goal of 1 lb, I should be able to accomplish that. So my total loss so far is 12.6 lbs. Yay

Weigh In
I know I haven't been posting much but I've still been trying to lose. I've been going to the YMCA 2 to 3 times a week and working out with a friend and trying to eat right. All my hard work seems to be paying off because I have lost 6.6 lbs. Yay for me. I'm still struggling to eat right and the bulimia isn't 100% under control but I'm still working on it. The more I lose the more I want to lose so thats motivating me to keep going. It feels so good to be doing something positive for my health.

Weigh In
Well I weighed this morning and I didn't lose anything, I actually maintained but I'm happy with that considering the week I had. Next week will be alot better just have to get my mind in the right place. Sorry I haven't posted much in the last few days I've been super busy and just to tired to think about what to write on here. Hopefully this next week will be better.

Weigh In
Today is my first weigh in. My goal was to lose 1 pound because I wanted to set a goal that I knew I couldn't fail at. My starting weight was 246 lbs and when I weighed in this morning I weighed 243.2 lbs so I lost 2.8 lbs. That may not seem like alot but I didn't exercise and what I ate this week wasn't the best of foods even though I did watch my portions so I'm happy with my loss. I also accomplished no binging and purging this week so I have two things to celebrate. Now on to my second week and I will have the same goal to lose 1 pound.

Weigh In
Today was my weigh in and drumroll please.................I lost 9 lbs my first week. I started at 241.8 lbs and I'm now 232.8 lbs. I know most of that is probably water weight but I don't care I worked hard to get that nine pounds off. The last couple days I have been slipping alittle on my eating but I didn't let that stop me from exercising. I will get back on track and keep losing. Now on to week 2.

Weigh In
Just a short update which I forgot to post yesterday. I weighed in and I had lost 1 lb since last week so I weigh 216.2 lbs now. I haven't had a bulimia episode in a few days so I'm doing good on that front to. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Weigh In
Well I decided to start my weigh ins back today even though I knew it would mean a gain. Oh well noone to blame but myself. I guess it could be worse, I haven't weighed since February 4th and the scale said I weighed 217.2 lbs this morning. That means in a month I've gained 5 lbs. Its ok though because I feel like each day I'm getting back on track. Even though yesterday wasn't a perfect eating day it was way better than the day before and I had no binge and purge episodes so I'm completely proud of myself. I'm hoping I can have a very good week this next week and drop this 5 lbs so I can get back to where I was a month ago and go from there. Wish me luck cause I'm back and getting stronger each day.

Weigh In
Today is weigh in day. I weighed 211.2 lbs last Friday and today I weigh 212.2 lbs so I have gained 1 lb. I was hoping for a loss but I knew with how I've been cheating this last week on my clean eating that I was going to have a gain. This next week I'm going to stay away from fast food, drink more water, reduce my portion sizes and start exercising again. I'm hoping these changes will lead to a really good weight loss next week. I'm tired of staying around this same weight I'm ready to be under 200 lbs.

Clean Eating Day 16
I weighed in this morning and I'm down from 212.2 to 211.2 so I lost 1 lb in the last week. Not what I was hoping for but I will take it, slow and steady wins the race.
Sorry no pictures today.
For breakfast I had 1 cup Kashi cereal with 1 tbls ground flaxseed and 1 cup almond milk. I also had a protein drink made from 1 cup almond milk and 1 scoop of Jillian Micheals triple chocolate protein powder.
I decided to have a cheat meal today which is allowed every once in a while so I took my boyfriend out to eat for his birthday and he wanted to eat at Five Guys burgers. I had a little bacon cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce, tomato, grilled mushrooms and grilled onions. I also had an order of fries.
My midafternoon snack was a protein bar.
For dinner I had a grilled chicken wrap from Wendys.
Eating wasn't the greatest today but I will be back on track tomorrow.
No exercise today.

Weigh In
I weighed in this morning and I went from 216 lbs last Friday to 212.2 lbs today which means I have lost 3.8 lbs in a week. Unofficially though just since I started eating clean 8 days ago I have lost 8.8 lbs because when I started eating clean I weighed 221 lbs and now I'm 212.2 lbs. I really think this is the best plan I've ever been on. You get to eat so much food and still lose weight so what more could I ask for. I would have lost more this week but Aunt Flo decided to visit just as it was time for me to weigh in. Its ok though that just means I will lose even more next week.

Weigh in
I forgot to post my weigh in yesterday so I'm doing it today. I weighed 216 lbs yesterday which would be a gain of .8 lbs but I'm not worried about it. When I weighed Thursday I weighed 221 lbs so just since I've been eating healthy again my weight has really came down. I weighed this morning and the scale said 213.2 so I've lost 2.8 lbs since yesterday. I'm hoping by this Friday I will be back down to the weight I was before I started gaining. The Clean Eating plan really seems to be working for me.

My personal 2011 goals
My goals for the year 2011:
(updates will be in red)
Well my eating finally caught up with me this week and I gained 3.4 lbs and to be honest I don't feel that bad about it. I feel like I've been running from a gain for the last 2 weeks and I'm happy to finally get it over with. Now I can forgive myself and move forward. I honestly believe my problem is eating to many carbs, thats where the weight is coming from. I'm going to try to avoid carbs as much as I can this next week and see what happens. Do I feel like I have my mojo back yet?....NO....Am I ready to give up yet?.....NO....Even though I may have had a gain this week the things I'm doing for my body are making me healthier, maybe not weight wise but physically it is. Something will kick in one of these days and I will have my momentum back, until then I just keep on keeping on.
1. Walking Goal: I figure there are 52 weeks in a year and if I walk 2 miles a day 5 times a week then thats 520 miles a year but just to add in alittle challenge I'm going to say 600 miles. So my new goal for this upcoming year is to walk 600 miles in 2011. (Only walked 5 miles this last week)
2. Biking Goal: I haven't really been riding my bike that much but it is something that I want to start doing. I'm not going to set this goal very high since its something new to me and I can always add to it later. I figure 52 weeks in a year and if I ride my bike 3 times a week for at least 2 miles then thats 312 miles but I'm just going to round it off to 300 miles. So my new goal for this upcoming year is to ride my bike 300 miles in 2011. (Only rode 1 mile this last week)
3. YMCA Goal: I plan on hitting the gym at least 3 times a week to do strength training. (Haven't made it to the Y yet)
4. Swimming Goal: I know the Y has a pool and I would love to add this to my workout. I'm thinking I will try to swim at least 2 times a week. (Haven't made it to the Y yet)
5. Crunches Goal: My stomach is a real problem area for me so I'm planning on doing crunches every other day. Right now I'm at a 100 crunches but as I get stronger I will increase that. (Only did 200 crunches this last week)
I know this seems like alot of working out but this is what I need to do to get my body in shape. We all know that when you lose alot of weight things don't spring back like they should and I can always alter these goals later if they don't seem to be working for me.
6. Weight Loss Goal: I'm still aiming for 2 lbs a week so here are my goals:
January 25, 2011- 203 lbs (Current weight 215.2lbs, gain of 3.4 lbs)
February 22, 2011- 195 lbs (under 200 for valentines how sweet that would be)
March 22, 2011- 187 lbs
April 19, 2011- 179 lbs
May 17, 2011- 171 lbs
June 14, 2011- 163 lbs
July 12, 2011- 155 lbs ( 2 days before my birthday what a wonderful birthday present to myself)
August 9, 2011- 147 lbs
September 6, 2011- 140 lbs ( this would be the smallest I've ever been)
At the rate of 2 lbs a week I should be at my goal weight in 9 months. That may seem like a long time to some but as you get older time flies and 9 months is nothing.
7. Water Goal: I had a goal in 2010 of drinking at least 128 oz of water a day but of course I never hit that goal so for 2011 I'm just going to work on drinking as much water as possible without setting a goal. (Still not drinking as much water as I should)
8. Eating Goals: The following are my goals for my food intake daily:
Sugar- I have greatly reduced my sugar intake already but its still something I need to continue to work on. (Still eating to much sugar)
Fruits- I love fruits especially sweet fruits like bananas, apples and grapes but I have learned that fruits have alot of natural sugar in them so you do need to watch how much you eat so my goal is to continue to keep my fruit intake to a maximum of 1-2 servings per day. (Getting in alittle more fruits daily)
Vegetables- I have always been a vegetable eater but I have had to learn to replace some of my carbs like macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes with vegetables instead. I am learning to try new vegetables that I've never had before to add some variety into my eating and vegetables really are good for you and help to fill you up. So I plan on continuing to try at least one new vegetable and make sure I get my daily servings of veggies in. (Something I really need to start focusing on is getting in my vegetables, I truly think that is what was helping me lose weight)
Carbohydrates- This is probably one of my favorite types of foods, I mean who doesn't love macaroni and cheese and pasta dishes and breads but if you aren't careful these types of food can put alot of weight on you. So I plan on continuing to really watch my intake of carbs. (I am eating way to many carbs which is causing me to gain weight so I need to lay off the carbs)
Soda- I have mainly been drinking water but I have been sneaking in a couple diet sodas a week and I want to completely give up sodas again. (Doing ok at this goal)
Fast Food- I try to pick the healthiest thing when I get fast food but like a friend pointed out to me no fast food is healthy. I'm only picking out the least unhealthy thing on the menu so this is definitely something I need to give up. So my last goal is to completely avoid fast food. (Need to stay away from restaurants completely but not doing to good at this goal)

Monthly Goals (12/1/10-12/31/10):
(my own personal goals)
1. Water- My goal has been to drink 128 oz of water a day but I still have not managed to accomplish this so that is my first goal I'm going to work on this month. (I have still yet to hit this goal)

So I plan on continuing to really watch my intake of carbs. (This last week I ate way to many carbs, time to get back on track)
6. Exercise- I have been doing really good at exercise but I am adding that as one of my goals so that I make sure I continue to get all of my exercise in. I am challenging myself to walk/jog 5-6 days a week and at least 15 miles a week. (This last week I only got in 11.5 miles)
7. Soda- I have mainly been drinking water but I have been sneaking in a couple diet sodas a week and I want to completely give up sodas this month. (I drank a couple diet sodas this last week)
8. Fast Food- I try to pick the healthiest thing when I get fast food but like a friend pointed out to me no fast food is healthy. I'm only picking out the least unhealthy thing on the menu so this is definitely something I need to give up. So my last goal is to completely avoid fast food this next month. (I had alittle fast food this last week)
I Refuse to Blow it Over the Holidays Challenge:
This challenge is being hosted by Erika at http://wwwfatlikeme.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html . Its just a personal challenge not to overeat during the holidays. You just keep track of how much weight you have lost from the first day of fall until after New Years. My beginning weight was 235.4 lbs.
(I have lost 23.6 lbs so far in this challenge)
I know this seems like alot of goals and challenges but they all kind of fit together I just want to be able to update all of them on the same day to make it easier for me to remember.

6. Exercise- I have been doing really good at exercise but I am adding that as one of my goals so that I make sure I continue to get all of my exercise in. I am challenging myself to walk/jog 5-6 days a week and at least 15 miles a week. (This last week I only got in 11.5 miles)
7. Soda- I have mainly been drinking water but I have been sneaking in a couple diet sodas a week and I want to completely give up sodas this month. (I drank a couple diet sodas this last week)
8. Fast Food- I try to pick the healthiest thing when I get fast food but like a friend pointed out to me no fast food is healthy. I'm only picking out the least unhealthy thing on the menu so this is definitely something I need to give up. So my last goal is to completely avoid fast food this next month. (I had alittle fast food this last week)

I decided to keep all my challenges and goals together in one post to make it easier to track everything. I know it seems like I have taken on alot but its keeps me motivated and keeps me busy so I don't think about food so much. Updates are in red.

May 17, 2011- 165 lbs
June 14, 2011- 157 lbs
July 12, 2011- 149 lbs ( 2 days before my birthday what a wonderful birthday present to myself)
August 9, 2011- 141 lbs (this would be the smallest I have ever been)

Fiber: 25 grams
Carbohydrates: 300 grams
Sugar: 40 grams

I have challenged myself to walk a 160 miles by New Years. I am using the ticker on the right side of my blog to keep track of how far I have walked.

Hot 100 Challenge:
Steve from http://logmyloss.com/ is hosting the Hot 100 Challenge. The Hot 100 is a challenge focused on the last 100 days of 2010 beginning September 23, 2010. Here are my goals:
#1....This was my own personal challenge anyway so I'm adding it as my first goal here.....walk 160 miles by New Years.
(I have walked 146 miles so far, only 14 miles to go)
#2....Continue to eat healthy and exercise so I can lose 20 lbs by New Years. Beginning weight 235.4 lbs.
(I have lost 23.6 lbs so far, I hit my goal)
#3....Make it through the holiday season without falling back into old eating patterns.
(I made it through my sons birthday party without overeating so I'm doing pretty good so far.)
Monthly Goals (12/1/10-12/31/10):
(my own personal goals)
1. Water- My goal has been to drink 128 oz of water a day but I still have not managed to accomplish this so that is my first goal I'm going to work on this month. (I have still yet to hit this goal)
2. Sugar- I have greatly reduced my sugar intake already but its still something I need to continue to work on. (The last week I ate way to much sugar, definitely got to work on this goal)
3. Fruits- I love fruits especially sweet fruits like bananas, apples and grapes but I have learned that fruits have alot of natural sugar in them so you do need to watch how much you eat so my goal this month is to continue to keep my fruit intake to a maximum of 1-2 servings per day. (I haven't been doing to good on this goal)
4. Vegetables- I have always been a vegetable eater but I have had to learn to replace some of my carbs like macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes with vegetables instead. I am learning to try new vegetables that I've never had before to add some variety into my eating and vegetables really are good for you and help to fill you up. So I plan on continuing to try at least one new vegetable and make sure I get my daily servings of veggies in. (Lately I haven't been eating as many veggies so I need to work on this)
5. Carbohydrates- This is probably one of my favorite types of foods, I mean who doesn't love macaroni and cheese and pasta dishes and breads but if you aren't careful these types of food can put alot of weight on you. So I plan on continuing to really watch my intake of carbs. (This last week I ate way to many carbs, time to get back on track)

7. Soda- I have mainly been drinking water but I have been sneaking in a couple diet sodas a week and I want to completely give up sodas this month. (I drank a couple diet sodas this last week)
8. Fast Food- I try to pick the healthiest thing when I get fast food but like a friend pointed out to me no fast food is healthy.

(I have eaten to much fast food this last week)
