Updated Motivation Page.

Hey guys! I haven't been on here basically because one week I'll eat healthy and work out and the next week I'll do awful but I've now come to realization that I'm never going to go back to the way I was or the weight I was, I don't want to be that unhappy again. I want to be myself and if I keep going back to my old ways, I will always be the same. I have prom in the summer and I have around 70 pounds before I get to my goal weight so I know it would be pretty impossible to lose 70 at this point till April or May so I want to lose around 40 before Prom because it would be almost 120. So today, I've 100% started back on track and not going back. I put more motivation pictures on the Motivation page because I needed motivation. and I feel like other people needs some motivation as well. So i will be posting more on here. If you want to keep up with me more, Follow my twitter page and my Pinterest page.

I hope everybody has a health-filled week. (:

This is me today!

Starting over today. 

Starting over!

Hey everybody! 

I haven't posted much lately and kinda has been because I've not been tracking what I am eating or exerciseing like I should have been and I gained around five pounds but that doesn't discourage me. It just pushes me to get back in track and so I'm starting back on track TODAY!

 

I've got prom in about 220 days so if I want to find a prom dress and I've got around 70 more pounds to lose, I've got to get in this! 

I hope everybody has a good week! (: 

Color Me Rad!

This Saturday I went to a Color Me Rad 5K with my Mom and My cousin. It was so much fun!! I definitely want to do another one soon and it made me realize that I love jogging/walking and I need to do it more!  When we do 3 miles, it usually takes us 60 minutes but we did it in 45 minutes! That is a improvement for us!

Here are some pictures: 

For the past couple weeks, I haven't done very good. I have not been eating right and haven't been exercising like I should be but I'm glad that I did this 5K because it made me realize that I like being active and that I have to stick to this! I have 72 pounds left before I get to my goal weight and I want to get to that before I have prom in April. I will have to work my butt off! But I know I can do this! I am back on track and you will be hearing from me more on here!

This week at my school is Homecoming week and I will be doing Powder Puff Football on Wednesday! I'm excited for that! I will put pictures. 

This is a difference of 78 pounds! 

I hope everybody has a good week! (:

What's been going on..

So for the past couple weeks, I haven't been losing any. I think I have hit a plateau at this point. This week I have not ate good but I realize that even if I do bad, I can always start over which I will be working out more and going to try to eat to my calories or try and find a balance of how many calories I need to eat because some days I will lower and lose nothing or some days do higher and lose nothing. So I guess I need to find a balance.. 

September 14th, I am doing a Color Me Rad! My mom, my cousin and myself are so excited for it but we will have to do a lot of working out and walking. 

I am not letting this plateau put me down any longer! 

When people notice you've lost weight: Amazing!

Hello everybody! 

I forgot to put my weigh in. I weighed in and the first time I weighed in its said I gained three pounds and then I weighed in again and it said I gained just one pound so who knows what happens this week. I had ate good and worked out but I have next week and I will see how I do then. I have realized that  losing (almost) 80, that I will have to work harder to lose the rest of the weight. I will have to work my butt a lot harder (I do but I don't work out everyday like I should) 

Today, I was outtown and I saw this girl that I go to school with. She has always been really nice and we started talking about school (which is starting Monday) and just different things and she said "you look like you have lost a lot of weight, have you?" I said "yeah" and she said "how much?" And I told her if I lost 2 more pounds that I will hit 80 pounds. She was just like whoa, I can really tell. On Instagram and Facebook, she always puts about her losing weight so I asked her about hers. She told me that she had lost 40 pounds since January. We talked about all kinds of exercising, and fitness apps too. It was good to talk to somebody (other then family) about losing weight. I stood up to leave and she said "wow, yeah. You have lost all kinds of weight. You look so good" 

One of my aunts (that hadn't seen me before summer) said she could tell and even asked if she could have clothes I couldn't fit into, haha. 

And I went and got my hair cut the other day and the hairdresser told me that I looked so good. 

It feels good for people to finally notice! 

I hope everybody has a good week. (: 

Weigh in last week and just my thoughts..

I forgot to post my weigh in. I lost 0.8. So which means I have 2.4 pounds til I hit 80 pounds. I'm so close and hopefully I will hit 80 pounds before school. August 12th is when I go back to school. I really got to kick it up a notch. I have 72 pounds left to hit 150 pounds. On my lose it account, it says that if I lose 2 pounds each week that I will hit my goal on April, 2014. I hope I do because I have prom in April or May. I'm glad I realized that I was unhealthy and overweight. I look at pictures at myself now and I can't believe I ever let myself get that way. I've got some way to go but I know now that since I have hit 77.6 pounds and now I have 72 pounds left to go that I can definitely do it!
I hope everybody has a good and a health filled week! (:

Weigh in: week twenty-six.

It's been about two weeks since I had a good weigh in but I weighed in this week and had lost 3.2 pounds. Which makes me 76.8 pounds lighter. I have 74 pounds left to go till I hit my goal weight and I also have 3 pounds till I hit 80 pounds.

I hope everybody has a good week. (: 

Updates!!!

I went to Open gym for volleyball on Thursday and when I first got there, one of the coaches told me to run two laps and then stretch. Which I did with no problem then we started doing all this volleyball stuff and I have never played volleyball and I didn't know how to do any of it. I felt so stupid because everybody else was so good. I'm still not 100% sure I will play or not. But we had to run laps and I am usually the last person and there was about two people behind me. After open gym, I still had energy so then I went and walked for 50 minutes at the walking track. 

Friday, I went to a concert for Hunter Hayes and The Henningsens. 

That is what I wore. 

That's me and my friend Sam. 

And I actually got to meet The Henningsens. It was so awesome. 

And there is Hunter Hayes. He was a great performer. 

I've got to lose 2.1 pounds each week for the next three weeks if I want to get to 80 pounds before school starts back. I would be working my butt off in the day but I have to babysit Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So all my working out will be in the evening. Which sucks. I want to work out as much as possible but I am drinking lots of water. I always lose good when I do. 

I hope everybody has a good week. 

What's going on this week.

I went walking yesterday an I decided I would jog (which I don't jog/run in public because I feel like people are thinking "what is that fat person doing?") but I decided to do it and I did a mile under 16 minutes. That's probably the fastest I have ever done a mile. 

I want to lose 80 pounds before school starts back. I have four weeks to lose 6.4 pounds. It will be hard but I know I can do it. I have a weigh in tomorrow, I didn't weigh in last week. I'm not for sure what it will be, maybe like 2 pounds. 

Tomorrow, I'm going to open gym for Volleyball tomorrow. I hope that I will like Volleyball and I'll play. I think it would be good for me. More opportunities to exercise and I get play with my friends. I just afraid I'll go and not play good enough and I won't make the team or I'll look weak to everybody.  

I hope everybody has good week. 

Update!

From when I got home, I did kind of a cheat week. I mean I didn't eat awful but I didn't count my calories, weigh in or exercise but I started back today and it felt so good!!! I had to babysit one of my cousins today and he watched some TV while I did some stretches on Wii Fit and then I walked for a mile around my house  with my cousin. I said we went on a princess/knight walk and we had to go to our castle  and he had to protect me. (That's the only way I knew he would walk with me. Haha) and then after I ate dinner, I went walking with my mom for two miles. 

This is what had ate today. 

I hope everybody has a good week. 

Some before and afters.

I just thought I would post some pictures of me; before & after. 

Before 73 pounds: 

After: 

Update: I'm home!

I got home yesterday and on Saturday I went to Hershey park. Sunday and Monday I didn't eat the greatest.. Sunday  I went to Chocolate world and didn't go overboard on chocolate but I did have some and we ate out three times on Sunday and I ate out just one time on Monday but I snacked all day and not healthy things. I have done really good so far (I lost 8.8 pounds while I stayed with my aunt) and I'm not going back. I'm so close to 75! So I'm starting over today and I hope the scale at my house is around the same as what my aunts was. 

I hope everybody has a good week! 

Weigh in: week twenty-four and update.

I weighed in this morning and I lost 2.6 pounds. Which makes me 73.6 pounds lighter! So close to 75! 

Happy Fourth of July! I am probably going to the beach. Don't know what else we might go do.  They don't do fireworks on Fourth of July in connecticut around here. We might go out and eat but then tomorrow I am leaving for hershey park for Saturday! I am so excited. I have never been to Hershey park. I hope everybody has a safe Fourth of July and a good weekend! (: 

BMI progress.

When I started this weight loss journey, I was in the super obese.

 

Now I have gone down two blocks. I am still in severely obese but it's progress!! 

Just thought I would share this. I hope everybody has a good week! (: 

Weigh in: week twenty-three.

I weighed in and I lost 2.4 pounds so that means I have lost 71 pounds! I am so excited and proud of myself. And if I lose 4 more, I will be at 75 which makes me at my halfway point. If I lose 75, that means I have 75 pounds left. 

Not for sure how much I weighed in the picture on the left but on the right is 71 pounds lost. 

I hope everybody has a good week. (: 

Recipes and my workout.

Hello everybody! 

I saw an idea on Pinterest and I loved it! 

You know lunchables? Those containers with the stuff to make pizzas well I saw on Pinterest that you take the sandwich thins

And can make pizzas! 

I used 1 tbps of pizza sauce on each and 7 turkey pepperonis on each and 1/4 cup on low fat mozzarella on each. It was 263 calories and it felt like I was eating two pizzas and it was very filling. You can also make barbecue chicken ones. They are good too!  You can pack them in your kids lunch and they can make their own. 

Tomorrow I have weigh-in. If I lose 1.4 pounds I will hit 70 pounds! I am still staying at my aunts house and she has a three year old daughter and my aunt went shopping. So I put my cousin in a stroller and walked around with her for 45 minutes and then went to the park and played with her. 

I used charity miles and I used She's the first charity and gave 50 minutes of education! 

On LoseIt, it said that walking 45 minutes while pushing a stroller that I burned 301 calories. 

Today has been a good day! 

Don't forget to follow my Pinterest and Twitter!  

7 minutes!

I got this really awesome app. 

It's called 7 minutes. It give you 30 seconds exercises and 10 seconds between them to make up 7 minutes. It is a free app. 

 I hope you check it out! I really liked it! 

Don't forget to check out my Pinterest and my Twitter. 

Weigh in: week twenty-two.

I am at my aunt's house so I weighed on her scale and I weighed in three times, the second time it was a pound above the first time I weighed and then the third time it was under the first one so I just went with the first time I weighed since it was in the middle of the other two but anyway, that made me 3.8 pounds lighter  and means I have lost a total of 68.6. So close to 70! 

I hope everybody has a good and healthy day!!! (:

On the road essentials.

Hey everybody! 

I am on the road on the way to my family reunion for the weekend and on Sunday, I am leaving for three weeks and staying with my aunt. It is exciting! 

I packed some snacks on the way up because I didn't want to have to stop every time I was hungry and I can stay out of making bad choices. 

I love these things! I am not a big fan of 

soda but if I had to choose a soda, it

would be orange soda and it tastes just 

like it (without the fizz) and only 10 calroies

It tastes like a PB&J and for only 110 

calroies. Nobody loses there. 

It's good to have something with protein 

and these deliever with 10g. They fill me

up and are yummy! 

Cheerios are my goto. I could eat those 

like potato chips. 

It's good to bring fruit that can stand the 

heat of a car and won't bruise easily like

apples and oranges. Protein water mix 

delievers protein and is yummy. Special K

has all kinds of different flavors. 

I always bring crackers with me. PB is

good for you and honey is good for you 

and PB crackers always fill me up. 

Tips for packing snacks: 

1. Protein:

If you get snacks with Protein, it will fill you

up and requires less snacks to eat. 

2. Flavor up water. 

I drink water all the time but I know that 

some people have to have some flavor. So

bring drink mixes that aren't many calroies 

and some with protein are good too. 

3. Non-Messy. 

You don't want to bring things that make 

a mess. Easy packaging and things with 

less crumbs the better! 

4. Make things. 

Instead of buying things, you can make 

all of those things. Make your own granola

bars, make Kale Chips (we made our own 

but forgot them), make your own PB 

crackers, 

5. Side Items. 

You can even stop by a fast food and get 

a chicken wrap or something that isn't 

really high in calories and instead of buy fries, 

you can have a apple or any think else. 

I hope this helped and If you are taking a

vacation/road trip soon, I hope you are safe

and can make healthy choices and stick to 

your healthy lifestyle. (:
