Well I am a little over half way done with my Jenny Craig weight loss study with the University and I am so proud of myself.  Out of 15 people that they had sign up, 8 people quit!  Holy Cow! 

This week I was down 4 pounds, with a total of 34lbs!  26 pounds of it was pure fat.  eewww.  I also got my measurements done again and I have lost a total of 24.5 inces around my waist, chest, and hips!  I went from a size 20 to a 14! 

Best part of everything….  I can now buy clothes off the rack!!!  before i would have to go to specialty stores or the big girls section and never found anything that looked cute on me.  Now I can go to any store and buy what I want.

I am so excited and can’t wait to be under the 200 mark…  its coming up soon!

So many people on here talk about Zumba.  What the heck is it?  I googled it and didn’t come up with much.  Just a bunch of sites wanting me to buy a DVD but without explaining what the heck it was. 

And if everyone recomends it, where can I get it thats cheap?

Help.

So for my whole life everytime I did something great, I would get rewarded with food.  If I get a promotion at work, my family would go out to dinner at a nice resturant.  The list goes on and on.  What do I do or how do I reward myself for doing good with my weight loss?

I make it to my goal almost every week and I like to reward myself, but I am running out of ideas.  How do I move forward and re-train myself to not be rewarded with food.

Any ideas?  How do you reward yourself?

I had another weigh in with Jenny craig and I was down 3 lbs!  Woohoo!  I was so afraid it would not be good.  I am on my girly problem and feel totally bloated! 

 Does anyone else have this problem when its “that time”?

Like all of the wonderful suggestions, I finally just got up and started to work out!  And I was lucky enough to have my husband do it with me.  We pickd up a weight ball and exercised for 45 mins.  Today I feel awesome, my legs are sore, but I am looking forward to doing it again tonight.  I might have to do it with out my husband though.  He says his legs, back, and arms are killing him.  Lol.  Makes me feel good.

Just one little issue, why is it that when ever I exercise my weight goes up by a pound or 2 the next day?  Makes me so confused.  I know that if I stick to it the weight will come off faster and healthier in the long run.  But it plays a mind trick on ya.

Oh well…  go me!

Well, I have my diet down.  I have been consistantly losing weight just by eating the right foods.  To avoid having lose skin, I NEED to start working out.  Everytime I want to work out, I make up some excuse of why I don’t want to.  I’m sick, have a headache, have the curse, worked too late, too tired, have plans with family/friends…. the list goes on and on.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get motivated?  Or what workouts they like the best?  Or something new to try?

I feel so lost and the thought of having the lose skin is starting to scare me.

Help!

Well I just had a death in the family today and as ususal everyone gathers to eat food.  What the heck to do?  Help!  Any suggestions?

I notice that a lot of people don’t put what their weight is.  I understand that its not a fun number to admit, but isn’t that the whole point?   Its like writing down the number makes it more real/scary? 
Seems like that the smaller you are the more ashamed you are of your weight on this website.  I am a big girl and even though I am trying to lose the weight, I am proud of the number I represent!
ok, black list me if ya want.  just a ramble.

I had my first weigh in at Jenny Craig and I was down 3 lbs!  Thats pretty good considering I was on the curse!  I had all sorts of cravings for candy, I even had my husband go buy me a snickers bar…..  but, by the time he got back from the store the craving had past and I didn’t need it any more.   There was just something about having it available if I want it that made me not need it.  I dunno, hard to explain.

WooHoo 3 lbs down!  lots to go.

I started day 4 of Jenny craig and had all the intentions of doing great.  Later in the day I started getting some tummy cramps and come to find out I started my girl curse!  Now I am craving candy!  I don’t feel good, I want sugar and I don’t want to work out.  On my food scheduel I had some toffee cookies and when I went to just grab them….  There are no where to be found!  Arrggg…  How the heck do you handle days like these??  I am still very motivated to do good and doubt I will mess up.  I mean its only day 4!

bad luck sucks.
