ra ra oohhh la lala

...ve lost and gained weight before. I've been happy and I've been sad. Currently I've been to the gym 6 times since joining January 8th. I joined with my mom as a motivational buddy for each other. My older sister is getting married Sept 5th. We need to lose weight not just for that but it's nice to have a goal that you now know you can't avoid and if you do you'll feel like crap because hey that ...

an unexpected surprise

... butt today and the cellulite has gone down a decent amount. That was something I did not expect! I've also been exercising so I know that's helping, as well as the 4 liters of water I drink a day. My sister even told me today: "your butt looks smaller and you look thinner". Since cutting down on carbs, I've lost 2.2 lbs in the last two days. No doubt its water weight, but I'm just so glad I'm ...

I want to help my boyfriend

... be very, very upset. I know he used to lift weights before he met me, and I know that he likes the Wii Fit. My mom bought a copy and I used it for the first time since the end of June. My sister loaned her copy of Wii Fit to us and she took it back July 1st. Then yesterday, my boyfriend saw the game in a box and I synched the board up today. Then I read about the Wii Fit Plus and my boyfriend ...

Yoga and new year!

... I was then. My entire family is obese or overweight. My grandfather recently died of heart failure, weighing in at over 450lbs. My mom and aunt both have had lap band surgery, and my sister is considering it. I don't agree with their surgery choices, because they haven't changed their lifestyles. They have lost weight because instead of eating dinner and dessert for two people, they instead eat ...

Managed to go for a 30minute run this morning, so today has been really good! Sister's birthday is on Saturday though, am worried will be tempted by all the food...>. <

Healthy vs Unhealthy

... got me to thinking about my own family. Nobody here except for me wants to eat healthy. My parents and sister don't care much for fruits and vegetables (yes, I know, it's bad). I tell them all the..., ate healthy for a couple of months, was no longer PD, and then stopped eating better. My mom and sister have no health problems despite their size, but I have a feeling it'll catch up to them one day....

Carb addiction

...as well, but fruit really does help. Is there just anything I can tell myself so that I remained focused? I don't think I am the only person here that is struggling so much, but in real life, I think so. My boyfriend and his family doesn't eat healthy, and my family doesn't eat healthy either, nor does my sister who lives with her boyfriend and his family, so I pretty much don't have support.

phewww!

... cheddar popcorn (which I had the day before), I ate a whole bunch of watermelon, and I loved it. I hadn't weighed myself since the last week of June and I could feel my new jeans getting tighter. My sister even said I looked "fuller" I was too scared to weigh myself because it felt like I had gained 10 lbs, but according to the scale, I've only gained 4ish lbs, which isn' too bad. Plus, I have ...

so far off the wagon

..., it says 5.4 lbs. If I put a 15 lb weight on, it says 15.8 lbs, so I guess it could be off alot judging by the pattern. This is why I always used to weigh myself on the Wii. Unfortunately, my sister took the Wii Fit back and I don't want to shell out the $90 for it since my birthday is coming up and I think I can wrangle my boyfriend into getting it for me. He works at Best Buy + likes the Wii ...

progress

...so I've come quite far. I do Wii Fit 4 to 5 times a week, for a half hour to an hour each day. I've lost a little over14 lbs since I got it on May 29th, but it's a loaner from my sister and I'll sure be buying a copy for myself :) My original measurements were 42-38-44, and they're now 36-29-38. What's really awesome is that I've dropped two pants sizes. I was originally a very, very tight 16 ...
