Weekly Weigh In – Week 16

July 27, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, Weighing In | Leave a Comment

wwweighin16

This week’s weigh in marked my last week of my first Weight Watchers session.

In total during the 16 weeks, I lost 39.5 lbs!!

39lost

LOL I had to throw that in there.

I feel great! I am officially in a smaller size of pants and have found a few new (to me) pairs of pants recently. I have been looking for a new pair of jeans though. I bought a couple pairs recently on Poshmark which I hope will fit well. If not, I’ll probably repost them on there. I have a couple pairs of jeans that I should post on there to sell. Maybe this week.

If you haven’t joined Poshmark and are interested in joining….If you put in the code BTWGO then you will get $5.00 free and so will I! It covers the shipping on your first purchase.

I still feel like I really need to start stepping up and exercising. I think I want to get a bicycle to ride. I need one that will be able to hold a lot of weight though, which may be pricey. I don’t know what to do but I feel like I need to do something.

My thighs are really flabby and wiggly and my arms are too. I just want to tighten it all up now. I’m going to be working on my arms and I plan on walking at work on lunch with a friend of mine while we’re in training for 3 weeks. We’ll see how that all goes! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do something about these turkey leg calves. Even though they are delicious at Disney World! LOL

I do plan on measuring everything (arms, legs, etc) before I get really started on trying to work on those areas. Maybe I will post the information when I do.

Honestly, I am pretty close to posting all the numbers. I am proud of how far I’ve come and worked hard to get where I am.

I was not at my absolute heaviest weight when I started WW 16 weeks ago, I had kept off about 50 lbs from my heaviest. So numbers may be coming soon! I have a number in my head where I’d like to get to before I reveal all….lol

Stay tuned…and thanks for reading.

I also have a post in the works about our trip to the great north…aka the Upper Peninsula. So stay tuned for that as well.

And I’d love if someone would leave me a comment. I feel like I’m taking to myself!! lol

Weekly Weigh In – Weeks 12-15

July 18, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, Weighing In | Leave a Comment

Hello again…

I am horrible at this blogging thing. And this is going to just be a quick one.

So far, I’ve lost 35.6 lbs!

I found this neat site: http://ilostwhat.com/ where you put in how many pounds you’ve lost and it gives you a graphic to show you something that weighs the same as how much weight you’ve lost. Here is mine:

35

Pretty cool, huh?  Expect to see these often lol

I did have a small gain in the past couple weeks. I went to see my sister’s family (triplets!!) who live in Northern Michigan. Like WAY WAY up north!! I had a BLAST and may write about it and share some photos. After all, that would be photos of the mitten! lol

Anyway, that week I gained. just .5 lb which I am thrilled about. Other than that, I am plugging away on program.

Will write again soon…

Weekly Weigh In ~ Weeks 6 – 11

June 22, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, Weighing In | 2 Comments

wwweighin11

Well, it’s been over a month since I’ve updated.

That does not mean I haven’t been weighing in or attending meetings, it just means that life has gotten in the way.

This is why I am not making a living at this blogging thing.

So to the update:

I have lost 30.3 lbs total!

I received my 25 lb loss washer for my key chain a couple weeks ago.

I have been plugging along. I like Simple Start or Simply Filling and have been following that. I’ve been posting more food pictures than I was before and following some great ladies who are also on program on Instagram so I’m getting different food ideas which has been helping too.

I need to start walking again at work. It’s too hot for me to comfortably walk in the parking structure now, but I think I may start to walk in the halls. I still hate to have people seeing me walk but maybe I still shouldn’t care about such things and just move myself and do it!

One awesome thing….I had to buy new work pants!! I haven’t worn my old ones in a couple weeks now. I am not even going to try to put them back on to wear them. I need to donate them somewhere or else see if I can sell them to a local plus sized retail shop in the area, Hips. I have a couple pairs of jeans to take there too and see if they will buy them from me…even for store credit. I actually bought a pair of work pants there that are Torrid and I probably could use a size smaller, but they were only $15.00. So I’ll wear them until they are REALLY too big on me. I actually threw them in the dryer hoping they would shrink a little bit.

I’ve never really been into clothing or anything, but it’s kind of exciting to shop for smaller sized clothes. I will be really excited when I can go into Kohl’s or Target and buy some work pants. When pants don’t cost me $70.00 a pair, I will be ecstatic!

Shirts are another story. I still like them bigger than I probably need, and I have so many that are too big or fit well now that didn’t before so I am rediscovering my old wardrobe. I have a shirt that my inlaws got me from Hawaii that I am determined to fit into. It’s my anchor, if you are on program you will know what it is. I try it on every couple weeks. I could probably get away with wearing it, but it’s a little tighter than I am comfortable in. Soon though, I think! I will post a photo once it fits. I don’t have many casual t-shirt type shirts. When a shirt is over $40.00, you only buy work clothes and wear those all the time when you go out lol. But, I do see more t-shirts in my future!

How weird will it be to go to Disney World and be able to buy a t-shirt that doesn’t have to be brought up from the basement and is only 5 in the store to choose from that come in a large enough size?? I can’t even imagine what that will be like! It’s been SO long.

I am hoping to resume my weekly updates and write about other things.

I still am not sure of the direction I want this blog to take.

I’ll post again soon…
