So I've been gone for a little while. For awhile there I was JUST NOT LOSING so I wasn't weighing in very often. And then, around about Halloween, I just started cheating really badly. Well, I've got my will back again and I'm going 100% again. I'm proud because I got here myself. I've had my mother, fiance, brother all telling me that I need to get back on my diet but I wasn't listening to them because I'm not doing this for them, I'm doing it for me.
I'm trying to be super-healthy and take all of my vitamins and eat really balanced meals. I have so many reasons to lose weight-- I'm really concerned about my health, but also I want to be thinner for my wedding, and I want to have more kids which means me being down to at least below 200. I would like to be an ideal body weight for my size/height, but for the wedding I'd like to get down to at least 230, which is almost what I was when I met my fiance and before I got pregnant. At 230 I'm about an 18/20. I would love to get even lower before the wedding, but anything past 230 will be icing on the cake-- so that gives me 5 mo. (with some time for alterations!) to lose 17 lbs. I think I can do that. I also plan on joining a gym THIS WEEK--something I put off when I first started. I firmly believe if I had joined a gym in the first place, I'd have lost a lot more weight already and have stuck to my diet better.
So the good news. I haven't really gained any weight despite the break I took! I'm weighing in at 257 right now, but I know about a month ago I weighed in for a second at 256 (officially 30 lbs. lost!!).. never clocked it in, though. The last time I actually marked my weight, I was 257. I do know that I was fluctuating a little up to 263 and once even 267 (but not taken in the morning), and I've been back on Atkins two days but only weighed in today, so perhaps I have lost a few in the last few days.
Also, I went wedding dress shopping with my mother over Thanksgiving and I'm down two dress sizes since I was fitted for a bride's maid's dress in June!
Anyway, I'm back!
