updating

I'm updating on my weight loss!!


Last February 14, 2014 I found myself at a whopping 303 lbs.  not my finest moment.  I believe with the stress from Nicholas having his kidney issues along with a few other things I gained the 30lbs to get me that high.  My issue was being I stress bake, then no one wants to eat it so rather then let it go to waste I would eat it.  once I figured this out, I stopped baking, on a regular basis.

so that February I started to eat healthy, stopped drinking pop and started drinking water and started a diet of about 1500 cal a day.  I stuck with it for a long time lost 20 lbs.  cloths fit better and I felt better.

Then I fell of the wagon.  so I have tried to restart, gain and lose the same 5-10lbs. since.  I have tried a few new items started to use beach body's shakeoloy, still finding this hard.  I'm needing to get on some kind of wagon because what I'm doing isn't working.

I will now bounce between 286-293 depending on the day and my hormones/periods need to get me on the losing wagon again soon as I'm thinking that I may start to look into more surgical options to help.  my health may need it!!

on to ace again

So this moring I decided that I wanted to try Ace again.  my weight 272lbs I have gained 2 lbs but that's not unusual!!  my measure ments are waist 52" as well my hips 55.5" ( not sure if I'm doing them one in the right spot!!)  but thoes have decreased since I have started on this journey!!  I will keep trying to update but as before its more difficult with 2 very active toddlers!!

10 lbs down!!

So I'm officially down 10lbs from when I started trying to lose weight.  I have stopped everything from ACE to Herbalife, and am currently just trying to eat properly. 

I have changed my eating habits a bit.  I don't drink pop on a regular basis anymore, or drinks from Timmie's!!  It's usually just water or 2% milk.  But in saying that I still drink the odd pop, and Timmie's tea (double, double). 

I still don't eat breakfast, but I have decided that I needed to do something so I stated to drink the carnation breakfast essentials in the morning and that seems to have helped.  I try to eat more protein through the day but I love my carbs and I do try to be reasonable with them!!  I have a book called carb lovers diet and if I follow that I'm usually ok and it works if you follow it close enough.

I eat as many fruits and veggies as I want, they are mostly free calories (according to what I have learned from looking at weight watchers points system)  but think this is the key!!  I have also been making sure that I have something to eat when I'm working nights as your body needs different nutrition when working all night!

So I hope this continues!!

New Attempt

Well I'm Thinking ACE wasn't my thing, didn't really do anything for me!!!  So now I'm trying Herbal Life!  I'm scepticle but, Coincidince or not I'm down 2.5 lbs this morning and I'm kinda floored!!! 

I started at 276.6lbs yesterday morning, and now this morning 274lbs I'm leary but excited, this may acctually help!!

Down with the inches and the weight!!

Well tonight just out of curiosity I measured myself again.  My weight hit 275lbs last week (down a total of 5lbs since I first started ACE), and I was so happy about that but now my measurements are going in the right direction too!!

My waist is at 54"  and my hips at 57.5".  So the fact that my hips aren't down that much doesn't mean that much to me yet, they are still going down.  It's in my genes to have wide hips!!  but my waist is down 3" and I couldn't be happier.

I was looking in the mirror and though, hey you look skinnier, then I did the measurements!!  I have been feeling really good lately, aside from the odd day of being extremely tired and the odd migraine, stress and sleep deprivation related, still feel great!!  I'm not sure what happened whether it was just that I was depresses because I was missing my mom over mother's day, being the first one with out her, or if something else was weighing in but it seems that the start of June has turned me around!!  ACE is slowly helping me, maybe I'll soon see the results others are seeing!!

That is one pound I hope never to see again!!

So This morning I'm 1 week in after starting on ACE again and I have been using the calorie counter suggested by Sherry, my ACE representative, were I'm not sure it has helped me make my decisions on food but it has really confirmed to me that I"m not over consuming calories.  This does help to remind me that I need to drink my water, just because that little reminder is at the bottom of the page, just waiting for you to fill it up!!

So I'm officially down at least a pound this morning, but Monday afternoon I was at 275.5lbs but my official day to weigh in was today and I'm 276lbs.  I'm on the fence about my inches I think I'm only down about an inch but I'll weigh in on that one at another time I'm gonna wait a few more weeks before I look at those again.  Some of my cloths are falling off and some still don't fit quite right!!  But either way I'm still trying to stay positive and think I'm going in the right direction!!

Well until I have another thought I'll leave it here for now, and I'll check in again in about a weeks time!!

The future's not ours, to see

What will be, will be.

New Beginnings

Well Today is the day, that I will be starting again!!

I weighed myself this morning and I was 277lbs so not too bad!!  I measured my waist last night at 57" and my hips at 58"  I'm totally disappointed in myself but this is why I started on ACE in the first place.

Hope today goes okay as I woke up again with a headache!!!  I must say that this time of year sucks, and I thought I was done with this headache crap, oh well, deal and move on!!
