Under 180

I have finally hit the mark I wanted which was to be in the 170's, I take it a set at a time right now. I weighed in for my group I am in on FB yesterday and was 179.7 I had to weigh myself twice to believe it! Another 2.7lbs till I am in just the overweight BMI range for my height. Also I will then be at -40lbs! Every small milestone is a challenge but I am determined to succeed at this. I set small goals, I do have a BIG goal in mind and that is to be 140lbs. For now I keep it simple and realistic. I started out last December weighing in at 218lbs, I decided then and there NO MORE! I would get healthy, I would lose weight. So I started doing 30 day shred, and doing slim fast shakes. My goals were small 10lbs at a time is how I take it. My focus was to hit 199lbs, then I said okay I want to hit 183 lbs which is what I weighed when I got pregnant for each child. My current goal is 173lbs which is what I weighed after each of my kids were born.  Baby steps, weight loss and goals are baby steps. You should have a long term goal, but give yourself small goals.

When I lost 10lbs my hubby had to shave his goatee, if I hit 20lbs it had to stay off till I say you can have it back. These silly things helped me, he cheers me on every time I hit lose something even if its only half a pound. Having support is so helpful, I also put my background on my computer to saying "If you don't want to start over, stop giving up." Everytime I think, ugh I don't want to workout I see that and think " Okay just do it, do what you can and just push!" My new goal is to hit 169 by December, I want to be another 10lbs lighter for my hubby's work party. It will be the lightest I have been since I can ever remember.

My workouts I have done are:
Insanity( I have done 2 rounds of month 1 since I kept giving up)
30 Day Shred (off and on for a few months)
Turbo Fire(current)

You can do this, you can lose weight, its not easy. Set small attainable goals, I have NOT given up how I normally eat. I currently have 1 body by vi shake per day, I eat smaller normal meals, I only have ice cream once in awhile. I eat pizza, I go out to dinner and have a burger. Just remember you have to do moderation and watch you calorie intake for the day.

Turbo Fire Day 1

So today I am going to start doing Turbo Fire, I have done Insanity I never got past month 1 though because  life kept getting crazy. So I looked into TF, I ordered it and decided I am going to do this and I plan on completing it. I know it will not be easy of course it won't! I am not in shape or very fit, I struggled with Insanity I could not make it through a full 45min DVD it was hard. Some things got easier for me and I was lasting longer and I notice the change in my body. I have lost almost 10lbs since starting Insanity and it changed my body. I went from a size 14 to a size 12/10ish. Let me give you a little background.

My weight loss journey started in December 2011, I had my son in 2010 and lost all the weight. Then in 2011 my weight started to creep up, I had problems sleeping and I just couldn't stop eating. Finally in September I went to my dr asking what was going on since I could not sleep. He told my my thyroid levels were too high but just to nap and cut back on coffee. I laughed at him, I drink 1 cup of coffee as soon as I wake up usually 7am. Napping was a joke, I had a 10month old at home plus I was running my consignment shop, when on earth was I supposed to nap? Not to mention I would get home from working put the baby down for his nap and them my older child would come home from school. So I decided to call in another dr. He tested my levels, and weighed me, I was tipping the scales at 218lbs, for me that was my highest ever and I always told my friends to shoot me if I got to 200lbs. So he gave my meds for my thyroid and told me that would help me to not eat as much and I might get some sleep too. He also prescribed me some Ambien. In December I had gone down to 213lbs my levels were going down but not enough. So he doubled my dosage of thyroid meds and I decided to start slim fast diet, in January of 2012 I started 30 Day Shred. Between all of this I have lost 35lbs!!!! I am much happier to be smaller but I have another 50lbs I would like to lose. So its my challenge and my goal to myself to be a hot mom. I will post my weight stats weekly, and my measurements monthly. I went from a size 18 in jeans in December to almost a size 10 now. I have never been active or fit. I used to walk a lot as a teen, now I am a SAHM and I don't do much for exercise other than chasing a toddler all over. I want to be active and look good for my hubby. So that is my goal to lost 50lbs. I take my goals 10lbs at a time usually.
