This weeks weigh in

So last week I was 252.0 lbs

This week 251.6 lbs

down .4 lbs.

I did really well this week. turned down pizza and other fast foods to eat my veggies and lean proteins. I also started playing volleyball again. Most importantly the changes that I have made have helped me to feel better. I sleep better at night and have more energy in the day.

I like this new thing I am doing and hope to keep improving it.

good luck this week everyone!

I really am out there.

I am having a really hard time maintaining my weight. I still need to loose a few to be at my goal. I have decided to do a couple of things and focus on them. One is that I will eat my 4 point breakfast of oatmeal and then not eat anything again until noon. Then I will eat a healthy lunch with some protein. If (no, when) I need to snack in the afternoon, it will be natural snacks like fresh fruits or fresh vegetables. Maybe this will help me get back on track. I love what you are all doing. Keep it up.

My Garden

I have decided that this year I will have a garden, and I am Happy to say that it is coming together. But I could never have done it by my self so I want to thank all my amazing family and awesome friends that have helped me out.

Steve, Kevin, and Robbie(Steve's Bro-in-law)
they helped build the raised garden it is 2' H-4'w-8' L

Mom, Donald, Len, & Matt
they helped me get the fill dirt that I found on Craig's list.

Matt, Marie, and Virginia
He helped me get the compost to mix with the fill dirt.

It is starting to look like a real garden and after I mix the dirt every day this week I will top it off with another load of compost and it will be ready for planting.

My family and friends are really the best!
Thank you all sooooo much!

I just finally saw the post comments from last week. Did you guys think I was going to lose 50 pounds by december? If so, I don't think that is possible by december. But just so you know it is me AND rob TOGETHER losing 50 total. Still a big goal I think but we can do it... as long as I stop eating out because we don't have much food in the house and I am too busy with my new math class to go shopping.
Nancy- I am so proud of you for getting on here every day. you are awesome! everyone keep up the good work.

Good job to everyone that is sticking in there.

Megan

Nancy again

Okay so this week I am up 2 lbs. Man i hate the yo yo weeks. The ww lead challenged me to keep a daily record of what I am eating on the blog. so I hope you are all ready. I have committed to doing it for 2 weeks to see what the results are. I will start tomorrow by reporting Thursday's meals. I am totally open to feed back on each day, but am mostly doing this so I have some accountability in what I am putting in my mouth. You are all welcome to join me if you want!

252.6 lbs.

Nancy

Shannon is still here...

I know, I know... I'm kinda the leader of this Blog and I have been MIA. And I don't really have an excuse other than shame. I am not loosing any weight, in fact,  I have gained :(
I'm at 237...
I have become discouraged because I don't see the results when I'm working for them. So when I was counting my calories and working out 4 times a week I was not loosing any weight so I stopped counting my calories. I gave up. Like I always do. But I'm not really giving up. I'm going to stick to it even if I am not loosing weight.

What really shook me up was that I looked at my goal chart and I realized that if I had stuck to my goals each week, I could have lost 36 lbs by now. I would feel SO MUCH better if I was -36lbs. So I can't give up.

I WILL loose at least 2 lbs a week!!!!

Love, Shannon
