Insanity and 4 month weight loss challenge

     OK wish me luck. I start the Insanity 60 day challenge and a 4 month weight loss challenge on tomorrow Monday 12/30/12. The 4 month challenge ends on Saturday 4/20/12.


My starting weight is 207.4

Hiatus and New Challenge

     Hello all I have been on a brief hiatus, not that anyone reads my blog any way. I just finished my 20 in 2 weight loss challenge, needless to say I did horrible. I actually gained 9lbs after Thanksgiving and had to lose them again, but I did. Yayyyy. I did not lose the 20lbs I was hoping to lose. But oh well its never too late and I will try harder.

     On another note, I am about to embark upon another challenge. That challenge is The Insanity 60 Day Challenge. Help me now Lord. I am honesty scared but also excited to see what I can do. I watched two of the videos just to see what I will be up against and WHOA. The fit test alone made me tired.

     The Challenge will start with a Fit Test on Monday Dec 31 2012 and end with a Fit Test on Sunday March 3 2013. I will post my start weight and pics on Monday Dec 31 2012. I will also post my weekly weigh ins and a 30 day pic and a 60 day pic.

                                             WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP

     I really need help. I am so far off track. My motivation is gone so far out the window its not funny. I know being off work has taken away my umph to do anything. Being home all the time and not really doing anything else is whats doing it. I just need to get my "mojo" back and fast.

     HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

Bringing Healthy Back: 20 in 2

     Ok I started a new challenge today Monday 10/29/12 and it goes on until Christmas 12/25/12. The challenge name is Bringing Healthy Back: 20 in 2. 20 pounds in 2 months.

     I have a group on www.myfitnesspal.com  Bringing Healthy Back: 20 in 2 and there are several members (72 at the present time) embarking upon this challenge. I was so happy to see that so many people are actually trying to get the same results. We are there to help motivate each other to get to their goal weights. Its nothing like having support on any journey you decide to take. Join in if you are ready to shed some of those pounds by Christmas. I know that will be the best Christmas/Bday present I could ever ask for. My user name is WynterSkeyes if you would like to become my friend for extra support and pushing. Let's Bring Healthy Back!!!!!!!!

     Enough of the promo LOL. But seriously I will not be doing a daily journal of my foods this time around, that became a time consuming and tedious task after a minute. I will be doing The Firm workout on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be doing Wii Fit Free walk for an hour. On all those days I will do my arm exercises 4 sets of 50, ab exercises 4 sets of 50, squats 50 and push-ups 2 sets of 20 because those mugs are killer. And rest on the weekends (unless I eat something I have no business eating (Shhhh don't tell nobody else)). Happy losing everyone. Hope to see a small and healthier you by Christmas.

     And remember if you fall off the wagon, the next step is to get back on. Don't give up on something you really need and want. It's not an easy task to lose weight, you just have to be determined to make a change for the better. What's the saying.....You didn't gain the weight overnight and you won't lose it overnight. So stick it there, it will be well worth the sweat and tears.

   

Sept 4 - Oct 15

I AM VERY PROUD OF ME!!!!! BUT THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER 20 POUNDS IN 2 MONTHS. LET'S GO

Weight Loss V.O.T.W

     I know its been a while since I've done a V.O.T.W but here is a good one and can go for natural hair or relaxed hair. And aren't they just the cutest twins. ENJOY!!!!!!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

   

     Ok today I was getting ready to go grocery shopping and while entering the closet something said try on some old jeans. Soooooo........I did. I 1st tried a pair of 14 jeans that I only wore a couple of times about 4 years ago. I was thinking before I put them on I probably cant get in them yet. I put them on and low and behold them mugs went all the way up and buckled with no problem at all.

Size 14

     So after I modeled those around and took my pictures I said ok lets see what else is in here. I found a pair of jeans I made a mistake and bought about 2 yrs ago. They are a size 17 junior. I bought them and got them home and tried them on.... oh boy.....I couldn't get those mugs pass my knees. And now........

Size 17 juniors

     So at this point I really want to run outside and tell everybody.......but of course I just modeled around again and took my pictures. Smiling from ear to ear. I went back in the closet and found a pair of size 12. I haven't wore these since what.... 2007 maybe. I said to myself I know these aren't going up, but its fine I will get in them next month. I put them on and............Yeeeeaaahhhhh Booooyyyyy!!!!!!

Size 12

     I can fit into a size 12 what!!!!!! I havent been in a 12 in forever. And guess what- things will only get better. I am so excited. Motivation is definitely in overdrive now. Oh and when I got on the scale this morning I was 207. Big Girl say what!!!!

A Weight Loss Inspiration

Tasha has lost 73 pounds!

Posted by ajima on 10/18/12 • Categorized as Before and After Photos

Tasha has transformed her body going from 236 to 163.  That’s a loss of 73 pounds!!

She Says,

“Hi my name is Tasha and I started my journey mid January. Journey as in life style not diet! I worked hard to lose weight starting at 236 and I’m down to about 163 close to goal which is 160. I eat clean foods and I cook my own meals. I eat veggies, fruits daily and drink plenty of water everyday. I workout five days a week doing weight training three days a week, Jillian Michaels twice a week and some tabata and HIIT all at home no gym! I count calories daily on fitness pal app. I measure and weigh my foods. My main focus is more toning now and building mean muscle. No one has pushed my but me. Anyone can do it if I did. I don’t believe in excuses. I’ve become addicted to working out and I love it and I also love to cook clean meals so my next goal is to become a nutritionist/ trainer.

It’s not just about exercise its about what you’re eating as well. I always say its 80% clean eating and 20% exercise and this is true. It all starts with what’s in your kitchen and what you’re putting in your plate. I’m very strict with what I do. I have a foods scale and weigh my foods and I use measuring cups and spoons. I measure everything. That’s the only way to get a accurate count. I track all that I eat. To some it sounds like too much but it’s not and its worth it to me.”




She is such an inspiration to me because she was were I am and is now where I want to be. She also did the very same thing I am doing to loss the weight. So that lets me know I am on the right path and I can get where I want and need to be. I just I have to stay consistent and dont give up. Thank you Tasha.
