Rep Power: 53 | | Hi Manda, Quick tip... If you want to check out someone's journal (if they have one), click on their avitar and view their profile. Under statistics, you can "view all threads started by _____". Usually you'll find diaries in there easily enough.
BTW, I have a belt that I still wear. It started off at a 50 waist. It is very easy to see the holes that have wear on them. I have gone through all of the original holes and had to add 2 more new ones to keep it fitting. I plan to wear it until I hit my goal. Then I will hang it in my room to show myself where I was... so that I never go there again. |

That's the best kind of reward. Seeing a lower number of the scales is good, but noticing clothes are loose is THE BEST!!
Keep your spirits high and focus on the clothes hanging in the room. It won't be long before they will be on you!!! Yes?!! |

Rep Power: 14 | | | I'd say 2 miles in under an hour given the way you're feeling is great. I just love all the visual motivators you have between your board and the dress(which is awesome by the way) |

Rep Power: 6 | | Good morning Manda!
I agree with airmanwifey819. If you weren't feeling up to par and still managed 2 miles, that's awesome. It's when we really push ourselves that shows we can do it ANY other day as well. You're doing great
I hope your weigh-in went well! |

Well lets start with the good news the weigh-in.. I lost 3.4 lbs.. I'm now at 232.6.. that means 67.6 lbs to go!! AND 12.6 lbs to my first mini goal. Next week maybe I'll get to 229.. thats my mini week goal... 3.6 lbs seems possible but if that gonna happen I'm gonna have to exercise everyday and eat right!!
I lost 4.5 inches this week!! I love it when inches come off.. and that 11 inches total now!
My measurements
Neck: 14/14
Upper Arm: 15.5/14.5
Forearm: 10/10
Bust: 49.5/47.5
Waist: 38/37.5
Stomach (just below navel): 51/49.5
Hips: 50.5/49.5
Thighs: 52.5/51.5
Leg: 30.5/29
Calf: 16/16
So I'm pretty happy my weigh-in this week..
Ok bad news.. TOM is horrible!! I feel like crap!! Ugh and craving coming along with it.. and the worst.. I had chinese food for lunch.. which has probably maxed my points for the day.. but I am on the flex plan and we have an extra 35 points per week to use as we please so I guess that's mine for the week.. I just have to keep the craving under control.. mind over matter.. and after all cravings are only a feeling.. and we all ignore our feelings sometimes.. and I must do so this week!! anyways thats it for now..  |

Rep Power: 8 | | Other news I got JM dvd today!! I plan on starting as soon as TOM is over.. I hear the workouts are intense and I'm not up for intense right now...
Paul,
thanks!! I do agree seeing lbs drop is one thing but clothes fitting better is even greater!!
Shandy,
Thanks, I keep talking myself through it.. my first goal was a mile then I said go to a mile and half.. and I told myself just to suck it up and finish the two miles and I was glad when I did!! and thanks, I try to put it in my face So I'm always thinking of it!!
Trusylver,
yes walking on the treadmill gets boring so i think watching movies really help keep me entertained.. lol
JZ,
Thanks! My weigh-in was pretty good I was happy with it!
Jes,
Thanks! I was happy with my weigh-in I'm gonna bust my butt this week and try to get 3.6 lbs off this week... they would make my mini goal seem so close!! |

YAYAYAY! Congrats on the pounds AND inches loss! That's amazing!!!
Sorry about Tom. Don't stress too much. It's okay. You'll do fine. <3 This is a lifestyle change and we're all bound to have cravings. It's okay! You'll work it off later on
Alright, I gotta get ready for class. Just wanted to drop by real quick!
<3 Jes |

Rep Power: 8 | | Thanks guys, I do hate tom... and I'm cramping horrible bad.. sorry for the men who read this.. but I just feel like poop.. yuck.. I just want to be in my bed and never get out.. and I'm really not that kind of person.. I'm always on the go but I just feel like crap right now.. and I'm so very emotional today to.. but oh well.. so I'm changing my goal this week.. I know I won't be losing a lot.. so maybe shot for losing 1 lbs or just not gaining.. I know this week isn't gonna be great.. but I'm not falling off the wagon just know what its gonna be like til this is over.. I'm not every hungry today I feel so bad.. and Jess393, sometimes chocolate is mine.. but not always.. and Jes, your right this is a lifestyle change and we can't change over night.. it's gonna take time.. so that what I'm going to give it.. but that's it for now I'm at work waiting to get off so I can go home and take a nap.. maybe that will make me feel better... Idk about the exercise tonight.. If I still feel like this no but if I feel better I'll probably give it a try.. anyway I'm sure I'll be on later..

Rep Power: 7 | | | Don't be hard on yourself Amanda! You have been doing fantasticly since you started your journey. One day went bad, and that's ok. I have had several bad days (including one with ridiculous alcohol consumption) in the last 4 weeks and I had to get back up and try harder the next day! Tommorrow is a fresh new day, and from your diary I KNOW you have the motivation and willpower to kick back on track! You rock girl!!!! | | |
