Tammy- I think I am going to go get a pair of jeans I really want to fit into as well! that sounds like a great idea. I will buy a pair that I want to fit into at my goal weight. When i have money that is.


So I ate a little differently then I planned on today. But I am still very proud of myself.

Same breakfast as before.

Lunch- 1:00- 9 baby carrots, and 2 stalks of celery, and a little zesty italian dressing.

Snack- 5:15pm- 90 calorie granola bar.

Dinner- 10:35 when i got home from work- a SMALL bowl of spaghetti, with a little marinara sauce, and 2 SMALL slices of a baguette.


SO dinner was a little calorie filled for such a late meal. I probably should have eaten yogurt or somethiing. But I am still SO proud of myself today. I have been drinking nothing but water. And plenty of it. I REALLY was going to have a yogurt for dinner, but decided not to. I was having really weird hunger. For 30 minutes I was REALLY hungry. I needed a small meal, not a snack item. But then about 15 minutes from when I ate (on my drive home) I got just a little hungry. But once I got into my house, I was really hungry again. So I had a small bowl of spaghetti. I was happy with it. it wasn't enough to make me FULL, just content. I didn't get too much exercise. But instead of parking right next to work, I parked at the END of the parking lot. I can BARELY consider that exercise...but more helpful.

My boyfriend might be joining this weight loss forum. I am trying to get him motivated to lose weight. (he's not at all, but wants to lose weight with me.) I'm very happy with myself at the moment. I am sad every time I look at myself nude in the mirror. I"m so disgusting. I hate feeling like that. But then I get dressed, look at the small pair of jeans I have... and it gets me so motivated. soo... over all i think its good for me.

I got the day off tomorrow!!! So I will have time to get some things done!!!

I heard something really funny today from one of my co-workers. "Don't expect people to be competent. Dave the produce manager couldn't count to 21 if he had his shoes off and his pants around his ankles. " I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe this isn't new to anyone else???

I haven't heard that one before.

You might find that your hunger will seem more reasonable if you are able to add more protein, and more complex carbohydrates into the middle of your day.

It sounds like your motivation is exceptional and you are doing a great job with controlling what you have and controlling portions. You deserve to be proud.

Thank you so much Felici! i really am proud. My confidence and determination is sky-rocketing.

I have the day off today! I took it off yesterday. i really don't want to cashier.

So today I will have enough time to exercise, clean the room, and a few other things.

I have pretty much my whole day planned out.

Breakfast- 10:00am- Sesame seed bagel, 4 slices of fried deli ham, 1 slice of american cheese, and 1/2 of a sliced plum tomato.

Lunch- 12:30pm- Non fat yogurt (100 calories) and a 90 calorie granola bar

Snack- 3:00pm- 9 carrot sticks with a little bit of zesty Italian dressing. (40 calories)

Dinner- Not sure what time- Not sure what I'm having. BUT- I will only eat a SMALL portion of it. And I will choose the healthier of the foods that are out.

I have a lot of things to get done today.

* Clean the room
* Vacuum the room
* Clean the bathroom
* Wrap my sister's birthday presents
* Go job hunting for Danny.
* Go shopping for a present from Dan to my sister
* Print out the Financial Aid papers from the library
* Plan games for my sister's birthday party
* Call and get my schedule for next week from work


and thats all I can think of as of right now. BUT it all needs to get done TODAY. Tomorrow is my sister's 4th birthday party. She's so darn cute!!

Something pretty amazing happened this morning. I woke up, read my book for a bit, and then went into the bathroom to weigh myself. I didn't lose any weight (still 205.6) but I was changing into a different pair of clothes, and when i saw myself in the mirror... i didn't see the whale i usually see. i saw myself... but KNEW that someday I would look a lot different. i have so much faith in myself. I am very happy for that.

So, I have a lot to do today, and i'm going to get started.

OH YES... and i'm planning at night a 30 minute walk.

The challenge was to drink 1/2 your weight in water! How amazing. That should definitely get the pounds off soon!!

Mishi- I hope you and your son feel better soon.

Tammy- Your challenge saved me. i will be so much more motivated now.

MoonGoddess- GO TEAM 2!! We can SO rock this challenge.

Ok. So i have come to realize that the food list I put up in the mornings is more of a guideline then a definite.

My breakfast was the same.

I just ate lunch, and i had a yogurt (100 cals) and 4 forkfuls of angel hair pasta. With a TINY bit of sauce. I took 4 bites because when i was done with my yogurt I was still hungry, and I Took some advice and tried adding complex carbs to my lunch. (i think pasta is complex carbs. I still don't understand though)

My dinner is going to be baby burgers. SO i will eat 1, maybe 2. Depending on what else is for dinner. I have my snack for the rest of the day is the 90 calorie granola bar I was going to have with lunch, and No baby carrots today.

I am definitely excited about the challenge to start tomorrow. The Halloween one, and the 2 lbs a week one. I am so pumped up.

I cleaned my room, and I left out my pair of jeans i am hoping to fit into again by Xmas at the LATEST. Maybe by Halloween If I'm really good. What great motivation. I have SOOO many pairs of pants that I refuse to through away because some day i know I will fit back into them.

Since being on the site and updating a lot keeps me so happy and concentrated on losing weight... I will post a lot. Sorry if its pointless babble...but as long as it helps me I dont want to stop.

I'm the same way... JUST in case! I did throw out the ridiculous ones from high school. I seriously doubt I will ever see 3/4 & 5/6 again, nor do I think I want to, but a 7/8 might be nice! Its a ways off & would take a major weight loss.

Anyway good luck & glad the site is giving you the support needed. I have been more focused since finding it as well. Also gives me somewhere to be accountable & I don't feel like I am the only one doing this any more.

Hi Brandy,
Stopped by to check out your story since we're in the HC together. Ok, here's my two cents of advice about the baby thing: You are soo young right now. YOu have your whole life ahead of you. Enjoy the rest of your teens and your early 20s--once you have children your whole life will change. No longer will you be able to just do whatever you want on the spur of the moment, everything revolves around that baby. Not to mention they are very expensive. And you are just starting college, which would make things very difficult to do. I say, finish college and have a great time there. Once you're done, then think about it. And I would make sure that you are in a committed relationship with someone you intend to spend the rest of your life with--preferrably married. Being a single parent is very difficult--not just for you, but also for your child. There are lots of single parents on this forum, so if you don't believe me, ask any of them. I'm sure all of them would prefer to have a spouse around to help. Above all, you have to make sure that you will give a child the best upbringing you can, and that you're not having one for purely selfish reasons. That's just my two cents..lol

Now on to the HC! Let's do this! Exercise is soo important! Don't slack off. Keep up the great work.

Thank you to every one who stopped by. Bikinibound... I completely understand what your saying. I've thought a lot about it. The situation is really hard to explain. But thank you for caring.

I found my new/ old way to do 30 mins of cardio exercise daily. DDR. The simple dancing game. i just did my 30 mins, and burned about 100 calories on EASY. I could play harder levels, and burn even more. I still broke a sweat.

I'm excited for the challenge to start tomorrow!! Go house on weightloss hill!!

I made my goal to get to 189. I haven't broken the 190 barrier in FOREVER. So that is my goal.

I have to wake up early tomorrow morning to head off to my sister's birthday party... SO I think I'm going to go chill out in bed or something.
