I almost forgot I had my WISH journal!

Well, last week I lost another 5lbs!
I'm down to 244!

Today has been my best Monday yet!

I woke up at a decent hour, did all my chores in an hour, ate a healthy breakfast and already did my exercise.

Albeit, it was only 30 minutes but it was hot outside & it was all mostly up hill.
I took my dog for a walk...not so much a good idea when she isn't fixed yet and your neighborhood is full of non-exercised, mean, frustrated dogs who want to kill anything passing their gate.

Cesar Millan could make tons of money if he just focused on my neighborhood

I am sooo proud of you for your determination and sticking this weight-loss journey out! Keep up the good work and can't wait to read about your progress!

Hello! I just found your journal and wanted to congratulate you!!!!!!!!!

You wanted some inspirations, so here's some for you. I have a good friend who has always been heavy, smallest I've seen her in the past 20 yrs is probably a size 16. She's been gaining and gaining and gaining and in January she stopped gaining, took the weight loss thing seriously and is now losing! She quit smoking, drinking and eating in January and has steadily lost 1-3 lbs per week, every week and is down 105lbs with about 45 left to go! When she started she was "bursting out of a size 28" her words and now she's in an 18! She had done Weight Watchers years ago and still follows some of that, but what she does is counts calories. Monday, Tues, Wed. Thursday she eats 1200 calories, 300 breakfast, 400 lunch and 500 dinner. On Friday Sat and Sunday she eats 1500 calories, 400 breakfast, 500 lunch and 600 dinner. She eats nearly zero empty calories. She eats tons of veggies, calls herself a bulk eater! She eats lots and lots of healthy food.
I am so incredibly proud of her. She is such an inspiration to me.

I started on August 15, on weight watchers on-line. I was 227.5lbs on that day. Today I'm 212lbs. Fifteen lbs in a month! I'm proud of me and motivated to keep it up! So far its just the food for me, not doing the excercise yet, but I've signed up for classes that start Oct. 9. You are doing so great with your excercise!!! Keep up the good work!

Very awesome! I love hearing stories like this. It makes me feel good to know that others are or were in the same situation as me and found the determintation to lose the extra weight.

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I haven't update in awhile, it's been hectic and busy over here.

I lost 4lbs this past week! I'm now down to 238! I can't wait to be in the 220s. I changed up the exercise this past week, swimming instead of run/walking.

But yesterday and today I have eaten like I was starving, I don't know what to make of it. I'm getting back on track tomorrow, that's for sure. I bought some speedo goggles for the pool and I'm really excited to use them because on Thursday I smacked my nose on the bottom of the pool, all because I couldn't see! It hurt SO much.

Well that's all!
Oh I'm wearing a size 14/16 shirt from Lane Bryant now!

This past week has been a whirlwind!

I really failed this week. I only exercise two days (swim on Monday and Disneyland on Wed) so that might actually only be ONE day. I haven't eaten ridiculously because I have not had much of an appetite. I caught some sort of flu/cold bug at Disneyland and I have been feeling terrible. I have a sore throat, coughing, stuffy nose, and on/off again fever. I've been drinking a lot of vitamin water instead of juice and haven't eaten much because it's been hard for me to swallow.

I didn't weigh myself today because I just did not have the energy. I'm hoping it goes away very soon. I worked last night and I have to work again Wednesday so I hope I feel WAY better.

I don't work on Halloween!!!

Keep up the good work! You are doing amazing!

Are you feeling any better??? Nothing worse than a flu/cold to make you feel like doing nothing!

Here are some good vibes for a speedy recovery!

Thank you for the encouragement!

I'm feeling much better than last week but this cough is kicking my butt. I seriously think I'm working out my abs with all this coughing!

In haven't worked out since LAST Monday and I'm sort of dreading going back to it because I'll be so out of shape. In just a week too!
