One Year, Two Months, 50 lbs
There are days, on everyone’s journey, when you just aren’t feeling it. Today, I felt bloated. My rings and watch felt tight against my skin. My stomach felt larger than it should. I just felt blah, physically. So, in an effort to ensure that I didn’t end up feeling blah mentally, I made a conscious […]
Face to Face Friday
I’m not super in love with the photos that I took this week. some thing about my skin tone feels off. Doesn’t look as healthy, and overall makes me look tired. I also don’t feel like the weight loss is as visible this week as normal. It may just be the wrong time of the […]
Neck Fat
I have always carried a lot of weight under my chin. Even at my thinnest, I never had a nice defined jawline. But it definitely gets worse with weight gain and the double chin becomes a real and hated thing. Over the last year’s weight loss journey of 50 lbs down, and especially with the […]
50 LBS DOWN
I started my weight loss journey in July of 2020 at 210.4. By October 1, 2021, I am 50 lbs down at 160.4. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and love the difference in the two years! Height: 5’0” SW: 210.4 CW: 159.0 GW: 132
Size 12
I’m so happy with how far I’ve come! After just over a year of being back on my weight loss journey, I am down 49 lbs and wearing a size 12 for the first time in 10+ years! Height: 5’0” SW: 210 (size 18) CW: 162 (SIZE 12!) GW: 132
2011 Vs. 2021
Not there yet, but I’m slowly but surely approaching my 2011 weight again. The last time my weight reached over 200 lbs, I did an extreme weight loss over the course of the 2010-2011 year. It wasn’t the healthiest way to lose weight, nor was it maintainable, and I ended up back where I started […]
Them Shorts!
1 year, 45lbs apart; same shorts. Most of my weight loss has been in my legs and arms, with an obvious difference in my stomach as well. I don’t feel like my stomach has changed as much as I would have expected for 45 pounds, but I am so happy what’s the difference in my […]
Photos Photos Photos
Sometimes, I am honestly surprised at how big of a difference I see in myself. Sometimes, I feel like there is no difference even having lost 45 lbs. It’s why photos are so important. Self-confidence is not consistent, at least not for me. But photos are definitely a weapon against negativity and loss of motivation!
Plateau’s Suck
I lost 40lbs over 9 months, but now have been stuck in a plateau for the last three months. I’m trying to be patient and tell myself that my body is probably still changing, even if the scale isn’t moving, but I’m not seeing any differences lately. I’ve tried a 42 hour fast followed by […]
Not So Skinny Jeans
My “skinny” jeans are no longer living up to their name! Goodbye ass. May you never return.
