Feeling not so good about my body today. I hate the way my thighs jiggle when I walk, how I’ve lost my boobs (d to b ack!), my flabby arms.

It’s so weird, because I never felt this way when I was heavier. I was very good at being a fat person, haha. (I mean, I still am, but less so).

So this is weird for me. Not sure what to do with it.

As of today, I’ve lost 101 lbs! I’ve gone from 350 to 249 in a little over a year. (I...

As of today, I’ve lost 101 lbs! I’ve gone from 350 to 249 in a little over a year. (I started October 4th, 2011)

Crazy. Awesome.

Wow, I really needed to see this today. I can’t believe I’ve come so far!

Before: 350lb, size 30 pants, size 3x/4x shirt

Now: 260lbs, size 20/22 pants, 1x shirt

I can’t believe I’ve lost 90lbs in 10 months! I can’t wait to see how I look in another 10 months. :)

Let this day go down in history as the day I tried on a pair of size 20 jeans, got them all the way up, button & zipped. They’re still a little tight, but holy crap. A size 20!!

It might not seem like much, but I have no idea the last time I was a size 20. To think, last October I was a size 30, the largest size you can find. It feels like a big accomplishment.

The scale read 260lbs today. I’ve lost 90lbs. Wowza.

Tumblr, I sort of forgot you existed. Haha! Here’s a little update.

I went through a serious plateau that was SO FRUSTRATING. I felt like I was never going to lose again. Finally coming out of it. I now weight 266. I’m so close to my 250 goal!

I can’t believe I’ve lost 86 lbs. 86!! That is so crazy to me. I’m so close to 100. :)

Over all, this journey has been amazing. The only frustrating thing is I’m completely losing my boobs, haha! I’ve gone from a 46D to a 40B. Annoying! I guess I’ll be stocking up on padded bras!

70 lbs!!

Wed, 16 May 2012 14:37:54 -0400

Lost 2 more pounds today! Down to 280. I’ve lost 70 pounds! That is so crazy to me. I think I’m going to need a new jeans size soon, which will make me a size 22. I don’t even remember the last time I was a 22.

Right before I started losing weight, I remember thinking “I’m in the largest size pants I can find, what am I going to do if I don’t fit into these anymore??” So glad I decided to start losing. :)

I just wanted to say that you are doing so well in your weight loss! I saw your before and during pictures, and you can definitely tell how much hard work you're putting in, you should be proud :) Keep it up dear!

Thanks so much!

Long time, no see, tumblr! I’ve been so busy lately and frankly, not losing any weight. Today was the first time in ages the scale has moved. 282! Can’t believe I’ve lost nearly 70 lbs. I’ve got so much more to go, but it feels so good every time the scale goes down.

Today I took another before and during shot, and I thought I’d share it. The difference isn’t huge, but I’m starting to notice it more and more, especially in the way clothes fit. Nothing from 70 lbs ago fits, and I can wear shirts from stores like the gap now. :)

65 lbs lost!

285 on the scale this morning. Love that I’m inching farther and farther away from 300. People are finally starting to notice my weight loss. I’m 4 pants sizes down! So exciting. :)

weight-a-second:

I actually despise some people on tumblr that think it is okay to say someone looks like a ‘pig’.

“If you eat like a pig, you’ll look like a pig.”

Actually, no. I hate to single out my friends but I have some— one in particular that will admit it— that eat ‘like a pig’. This friend eats everything and you know what? She’s a fucking model. She doesn’t look like anything remotely close to a pig.

Shut up.

I’ll get mad over whatever I like, especially when society perceives people MY size as gluttonous pigs that eat whatever we can put are hands on. When, in all reality, there are people MY size and bigger who eat healthily, eat moderately, or have some sort of eating disorder. The same can be said for thinner people— they can eat more, they can eat healthily, they can have eating disorders.

Don’t assume. /End shitty rant.

THIS.

yes!!

Hi!

I just wondering if anyone had any resources/ideas for workout regimes? Any great online programs, etc? I need something free/cheap for now, but I really want to get started on something other than walking

Thanks so much!

Lately I’ve realized I have a bit of a problem. Each day, no matter what, I feel like I’ve overeaten. Even when I know I haven’t, because I track everything through myfitnesspal.com, I feel like I have. It’s worse when I know I’ve had a extra bite here and there. I know, rationally, that what I’ve eaten hasn’t added up to more than 50-75 calories, but I just feel so annoyed with myself.

I have no idea how to work through this. I’ve never, ever had this kind of problem before. It’s so frustrating, like my brain won’t process fact! I don’t want to feel guilty at the end of each day.

292 on the scale this morning! Feels so good to see it go down again after a few days of it being REALLY ANNOYING. hahah.

My weight loss has definitely slowed, and that is frustrating. I know it’s normal, but I really want to speed it up a little again. I’m not sure if I can? I need to excersize more, that may help. I’m starting a new job where I’ll be on my feet for many hours a day, so that may help! haha.

I’m pretty sure I’ve hit a plateau. I haven’t lost since 3/25 - I’ve actually gone up a few pounds, which doesn’t make much sense, as I haven’t been overeating (except one day a week or so ago - I probably hit 2,000 calories that day. But I don’t think that would lead to weight gain.). This is so frustrating.

I am so frustrated!

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 09:51:00 -0400

My weight has been bouncing up and down from 295-299 for what feels like ages. I’m sure it’s only been just over a week, but it’s still so frustrating. I’m having one of those “I”m never going to lose weight again” days. Which is stupid, but I think it happens to all of us. I just want the number on the scale to go down! Ugh.

Todays been a good day. Had homemade whole wheat pizza with just a sprinkling of cheese & turkey pepperoni for lunch, for dinner I’m having ginger chicken meatlballs with veggie stir fry. Walked for 30 minutes! Gonna try to do 45 tomorrow.
