Week 3

139 still.
I'm actually happy about that. I ate terrible this week.
Ice cream, cookies, I can't control myself. AHHHH. If I'm working this hard why do I do this? It's a vicious cycle.

Here's to keeping it down...

Apprehensively I weighed myself this morning, fully expecting to be up another pound. Instead I was DOWN FIVE POUNDS! WAHOO! 170!!! This is the lowest I've been in a very long time. Here's to keeping the pounds going down, and maybe, FINALLY breaking that 170 barrier....

Oh, and my measurements:

Down 1/2" on my butt
Down 1" on my hips
Baby bump and waist had no change this week
Down 1/2" on my L thigh
Down 1/4" on my R thigh - bizarre
Down 1/2" on my L arm
No change on my R arm - also bizarre

I'm off to the gym :)

This week's weight...

160!

Down a pound.

2 days in a row.

10 more to go.





I'll take it.

I know you just added me to this blog dear Val...so I'm going to be annoying.
Will you re-invite me under this email??

Weigh in

I gained a pound - 175. I ran 15 miles last week, did weights, and GAINED A POUND.

Talk about lame.

Yeah, I know muscle weighs more than fat, blah de blah blah blah. Still went up. Although because Sheena made mention of the fact that she had measured her waist I had measured mine too....and this morning I measured waist, thighs, hips, butt, and arms (none of which I had starting measurements for). But my waist measurement? I lost two inches there, and about a half inch at the baby bump area (you know where I mean, right?)....so that's something.

Even though the frickin' scale went up...

Week 2

139.
I lost a whole whopping pound.
Lame.
Here's to a new week of kicking butt at the gym. I'm determined to lose more this week.

Quick Question....

Does chocolate zucchini cake count as a serving of vegetables???




NO?!?!




bummer.... :-}




oh, and a quick weigh in: 180 that's down 3 lbs from last friday :-)

161....still.

I'm still here....somewhere..

I stopped writing here for a bit because, well, I was discouraged. I was working out, trying to eat good and not losing weight. The body fat thing at the gym was not changing. I do think my pants were fitting better, but I am not sure. So I tried. Then life got busy. I had excuses not to go to the gym. Basically, I fell off the bandwagon.

I'm trying to get back on now. D is starting school soon. I am HOPING with a giant hopeful hope that he has morning kindergarten. Then I will go to the gym while he is at school. We will have a routine.

I'm still in this double or nothing. I think I will probably lose $10 and still have to buy my own squirt bottle. But I am glad you are all dropping pounds. For the record, I am starting at 148 lbs. Still want to lose about 20 lbs. But I am also measuring my waist Because overall, I want to be healthier and my clothes fit better. Since I gain in my waist, I want to lose in my waist. I'm not going to give up when the scale goes up or doesn't change, as long as I am losing inches. So my waist measurement is (pardon me while I swallow my pride) 38 1/2 inches. I'm shooting for a maximum waist size of 32 inches.

So, my name is Sheena and I want to be healthier.

My turn...

Hello All!!

I know it's been awhile since I've said anything, mostly cause we've been so busy that I haven't time to breathe, let alone blog! But, in all of that busy-ness I HAVE gotten back to exercising. My routine the last two weeks (this week starts week three) has been running on the treadmill at home M/W/F 3-5 miles and Zumba at the Y on T/TH/SA. With an occasional overlap like if I make it to the monday evening Zumba class (like I'm planning to do tonight...) or if I'm feeling ambitious and run before class one of the other days.

Anyway, point being...I'm exercising again!

The results...my weight as of Friday...183 or down 4lbs. Yay!

Oh, and I decided to set some goals (that's good, right?) They are: 180 by the end of the month (sooooo do-able) and under 170 by October 9th (when we leave on a trip to see the in-laws). My pre-prego weight was 162 and I'd like to be there by her birthday (Nov 18th). So, there you have it. Now, it's in writing so I guess I have to stick to it!

Watch out everyone, here I go!

Signing In

Hey there fellow weight loss friends! Thanks for the invite Val. I have every hope that this will help me be accountable to someone.

Those of you who don't know me here is a quick background.
I'm Marilyn Green. I just moved to Boise from Spokane. I have 2 little girls: Allie (2 1/2) and Katelyn (2 months). So, I want to lose all that baby weight and then some. I love food and I eat it all the time. I just joined a gym here TODAY. So here we go.

My first confession would be my starting weight I suppose: 140 on the dot.
I'm short though (5'3") so my goal weight or should I say my healthy weight would be 125. I WILL also tone my body up in the process right?! So I have inches to lose and muscle to gain. Let's do it!

Oh and I read somewhere about a sweet water bottle and I will kill for that thing!

Update

Sheena will be happy to know that her evil plan to fatten me up while I was there worked. Up 2 lbs to 174. Sigh.

But on the upside I went back to the gym this morning and ran over three miles straight, which I have NEVER done before. GO ME!

Back to diet Coke, exercising, fewer desserts, and no more homemade bread ;) But the weight gain was so worth the trip...we had a blast! Thanks again Sheena!

Weigh in

Weighing in....172

I lost 3 lbs last week.

Suck it, Trebek!!!

All y'all might want to get on it....double or nothing means $10 bucks a person ;)

Fair Warning

I'm changing my starting weight to 175. Because I gained three freakin' pounds in a week. Yah. I'm awesome.

In other news I feel it's only fair to warn you that I have actually begun to work out. Pretty much every other day, not killing myself, but nice and steady-like. Today I ran 25 minutes at 5.2 mph and only stopped because the preset timer was winding down. That may not seem like much to you runners out there, but it means that I ran over 2 miles without getting to the point of feeling like I was going to die, which is HUGE for me. I just keep adding a little everyday. I may actually have to bump the timer up to more than 30 minutes in order to keep adding...not a bad thing.

And then I do my little weight machine routine. I'm fully expecting to gain more weight before I lose a lot, because muscle weighs more than fat, blah de blah blah blah. Anyway, I'm going to look awesome. Because I also have not had an increase in appetite. It's actually going away. And I've put myself into counseling so I fully expect that to help...mental and emotional health should translate into better physical health, right?

Anyway, consider yourselves warned ;)
