Inspired by Um's before and after picture. This is me and my gang in May-I am the heaviest one of the bunch (shhh-don't tell DH-he has no idea that I weigh more than him). I want to be smaller (not just shorter) than Dh and DS14.

I am going to try and scan in pictures from around the time we got married so you can see me at my sort of goal weight.

MY MOTIVATION...

UtahMama 3 years ago (before Norah )

This is in my old house....Spongie's House!!!!
The before is 278 and the After is 160 (size 9/10) 5 foot 9". ((Sigh))
I shall NEVER have a 2 in my weight EVER again! THIS picture DOES it for me! I'm not too far from that after picture! 30 more pounds. It seems harder this time....doh!!!

Wow! You should do one of those before and after commercials or magazine ads! How long did it take you to loose that much?

My food and exercise diary is from http://www.calorieking.com/
You don't have to join their club to use their website. It gives nutritional info on loads of food. Just look for the dialog box and type in the food you are looking for, then adjust your serving size, and you've got the info. This is where I found out the taco salad at IHOP is over 800 calories WITHOUT THE SHELL. I suggest you use it to look up restaurants and foods BEFOREHAND. It saves you the effect.

I was going to rise above the talk, but I have to say that the post reminded of Catherine Zeta-Jones (if we had freebies in our marriage, she would be one of DH's) in The Mask of Zorro, "Vigorous, verrry vigorous!" when she's describing Zorro.

OMG Utah you made me cry!!!! Thank you for the inspiration and the hope I need it! Sadly I am cloer to your before weight than your after one but heres hoping...my 4th icky glass of water followed by my dinner of spianch salad with egg whites fat free dressing 2tbs and some sliced tomatoes, no choclate was involved or injured in making this dinner!

Will follow up with the dreaded bike adn some frightening sit ups!

If I am a good girl I will have another glass of water to accompany my caramel rice cake!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Ok UtahHOTTIEmama.... add me to the dropped jaw club!


Wow Woman! Way to go! I love that you even had the same outfit and shoes. Very inspirational!


I also second Dwheatlgirlie's suggestion to look up restaurant food before you order! Lots of hidden surprises... like chicken ceasar salads that "cost" as much calorie wise as a steak and potato!

I am over your before weight.. but you give me inspiration.. Have I told you today... I love all y'all!!!!!


By the way.. you are beautiful both ways!!

So, I am off to make some sweet potato fries... later...

 

[UtahMama]

Bee- I know I should wait till the recipe books make their huge nationwide circle but could you please post that sweetpotato fries recipe??? YOU ROCK!!!!!

Twinkie- My DH actually took a picture of me in the same spot over the year(???) it took to lose that weight wearing the same outfit (different sizes) and morphed it together on the computer and it literally looked like I was having my air let out! He did the same thing with just my face....puffy to wrinkles in 10 seconds flat! I'll take the wrinkles and baggy skin!!!! I did NOT excercise at ALL to lose the weight...which explains my saggy skin (I see it, you maybe dont)). SO!!!WE HAVE TO EXERCISE OR WE"LL HAVE SAGGY BAGGY SKIN!!!! I notice it most in my neck/throat area, upper thighs and inner upper arms. That skin was stretched to the max and the muscle underneath was NOT toning up as the weight came off. It was like a balloon you over fill till near popping then let out the air and its all thin and stretched.

Fidgie- thank you! I needed that as much as anyone! Love Ya!!!

Winkers - I dont know. About a year. I remember in the after picture I was hungry alot during that time. And a little cranky at times. Maybe that size is too much for me. I've stared at that picture and wonder if 170 would be better (less pissy?)

I third that!!! Here's why. My DS17 works at Arbys where they have THE most delicious chicken salad wrap. The tortilla is wheat and healthy. There's walnuts and grapes, white meat chicken...and TONS of mayo!!! It has nearly 800 calories!!!! I eat them thinking how GOOD I am but I'm just being stupid or un-informed!!!!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Ok Utah you have me laughing (yet again!) over your goal for a "less pissy" weight.... you look fab-fab-fabu-lous but what is the point if you feel witchy... I would try 170 and if that is good go down to 165... on a Glamazon Warrior Princess 5 lbs is hardly noticable... I bet you will still be a 10 at 165 or 170! Another thing is if you add exercise you will up your metabolism and build muscle so you will be able to eat more (you might weigh more since muscle is heavy) but you will look the same HOT HOT HOT!


I wish I had digital pictures of me preggo with the twins! I accidently on-purpose lost the string they measured my waist with at the shower (end of Dec for an early March due date).... but now I wish I had thought to measure it..... I am thinking I was easily 4 and a half feet around

for anyone new(ish) I am a Pixie Princess (ie not 5 ft 4 inches) so a 5-10 lb gain is a whole size!


ooooh! great idea! I bet you could make a low cal version of that arby salad wrap! I might experiment later this week with lite versions of my favorite chicken curry salad... it has grapes in it too! YUMMMY!

 

[the Fidge]

OK ladies I cheated yup day 2 and had 1/2 a slice of pizza ! Followed up by the nautrally wonderfully fulfilling spinach salad with egg whites and tomatoes! You know I justified this by using only 1 tbsp of dressing!

It appears I probably need to sue a plan can someone please give me that quick start plus from the 80s by WW!

I did a loosy job last year with the points system too many choices and you know if I eat some of Twikees that covers all my points for the day!

By the way I had 6 glasses of that oh so refreshing h20 will trade for a frozen margarita???

 

[UtahMama]

I dont have that plan, Fidge. I'm seeking a points slider gizmo thingy. If anyone wants to copy theirs and send it to me???? I could make my own if I have a copy of the slider and the window-sleeve.

I have DRANK 1 and 1/2 GALLONS of Crystal lite today!!!! That really helped me not to snack and take out my anger from a rude day care mama!

I ROCKED with that skinny (yet pissy) picture of myself smiling back at me as if to say "Wendy, you worked SOOOO hard to lose all that weight, dont blow it! And...dont gain 40 pounds with the baby you are about to concieve in a few months either...you'll regret it in 3 short years because you'll STILL have it!"

Ya, that's what I was actually thinking!

 

[aries1980]

ok ladies late night exercise before bed!!!! while laying down for 5mins on your stomach raising each leg up for 30 secs and then swtich and clench those gluts while your at it..... ok next flip over on your back and repeat but this time hold your stomach and work those abs.... do this before bed. if you do it in front of the tv it will go by really fast

 

[Tinkabella]

Hi UM,
I can make you a WW point slider. I copied mine for my sister already. Just PM your address.

 

[eeyore45]

aries, you can do a version of that on the exercise ball as well!! I hope I'm not the only one with the ball, it really helps your back...

UT You do ROCK!! I agree wholeheartedly with Bee - and i would add that after picture, you dont look healthy!! I looked for a "before" pic of me, its not on this computer, I'll check downstairs!!!

Bee - WTG on the swpo fries - wish I liked sweet po's!!

I'm in a huge maudelin state (I know I cant spell!!) listening to the Carpenter's Christmas Album, remebering friends gone by, having regrets here and there... (our high school clique hung out loved Carpenters went to a concert... years later... and one friend has passed... just thinking of the life I envisioned for me then - and it did include my dh!! and where I am... its why I try and stay away from message boards this time of year....

sorry...

Place the potatoes in a single layer on a medium nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Flip the potatoes and bake for 10 to 12 or until the potatoes are tender and browned in spots. Serve immediately, with ketchup if desired.

Bees note- I cooked them a little longer.. I wanted a little crisp.

For UM and anyone else interested, I just found directions for making the WW Point Slider on this web site:

..

I hate sweet potatoes!!!! The fries are good though.. Even the person who put the recipe in the cookbook said they didnt like them.

Worth a try..

I also made chicken based meatballs from the cookbook tonight.. and they were good as well..

 

[DisneyObsession]

I am checking in tonight and have to say I have had a very good day...however, I haven't logged my food yet on Sparkpeople.com, so hopefully I was as good as I think Iwas!

UM....Your pics are an inspiration! All that work to get it off and you looked great! You can do it again!!!!

My food today was:
B: 1/2 bagel, 1 egg, 1 slice cheese
L: chicken souvlaki salad, 1/2 pita, diet pepsi
D: 1 piece mushroom pizza, salad, water
S: 1 werther's toffee

I have taken to thinking about my portion size and actually only taking 1/2. I hope that helps!

Hope all you ladies have a great night!!!
