Almost a month

It's been almost a month of just watching what I eat and working out. Lost 10lbs thus far in January, 11 months to go :) oh and I'm in a size smaller jeans!!!!! Down to a 26 was a 32 so proud of myself

60lbs gone!!!

Finally out of the 360s for the first time in years. I am so happy and feel as if I'm not missing out on anything by skipping out on going out to eat. I feel like unless you have the mentality of doing this and changing your life it will never happen. I've honestly never actually been motivated or cared...here's to another 90lbs this year

7lbs gone

Update, I lost 7lbs so far. I feel like I am kicking this weight in the arse...I have been using my fitness pal and I really like using it on my cell and the computer. I also have been working out and have lost some inches. I hope to hit 10lbs weight loss this week...I am so excited :)

Trash Can

Small victories are the way to success. I was actually able to throw food into the trash today. I could no longer resist the urge to go into the fridge and eat the 'puppy chow' that was in there so dumped it and threw it away.

I was also informed by my insurance that going to the bariatric doctor just to help me lose weight is not covered but having a surgery is, so I must make big decisions, but not yet still going to keep on keeping on.

Chicken Noodle Soup

So today I slept most of the day. I did learn I can have an entire can of soup for 150 calories! I also was approached by a highschooler about being an extreme couponer, which made me feel great!!!
A hurdle was jumped over today. I have a stationary bike which I have had for a year, and I actually finished a 20 program, which I've never been able to do :).
1 down 99 to go!

Indiana State Museum

First off getting dressed as a fat girl to go out all day is quite the ordeal. 1.You must find clothes that will keep your legs from rubbing, but Not make you look super duper fat. 2. you must find a bra that is comfy but won't let everything go. 3. must wear comfy underwear that won't cause chaffing. 4. must find comfortable shoes so you aren't miserable all day.
My name is Mary, and a flight of stairs brings tears to my eyes.
I went to the state museum today.Walking to the top of the IMAX theater almost killed me. I hate being so fat, makes me wonder what the people behind me on the stairs think. I was able to actually fit in the handicap seat, not sure if it is bigger or not. (that is a big deal for a fat girl) I was sitting in the chairs and I moved too rapidly and I heard a noise...I felt like I broke the chairs, how embarrassing! Oh the joys of being obese! anyways had a fun day. I am pretty sore from walking around.
Well, being in the first week I am getting hungry, and trying to figure out if its OK to eat this or that.  The motivation to lose weight is still there...no distractions but I know I am in that new phase of things...

I was able to keep within my calorie range even eating out today.   Goodnight world here's to being a few lb's lighter tomorrow than I was last week at this time.

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh

Today I started actually counting calories again. Its my Monday, and its actually Monday, oh and a new year, a new month...a new lifestyle. Today I cleaned my room for 4 hours. I found out that I actually like yoga, I can't really do everything yet but I am really enjoying doing it and I am setting my mind to it. I looked through all of the basement closet and boxes for this oil that I bought so I could smell the things they brought to Jesus that's what is in the picture with me, frankincense and myrrh.

Day 1 January 1-2012

Weight loss does not happen over night. The way I have been living is making me angry. The thought occured to me that anyone can do anything for a year. So here we go...367.7lbs
