Onederland!

I am finally out of the 200s! I am 198.8 and it feels great! I am worried though because Ive been sick. Thurs I started getting the chills. I was freezing! That night I went from freezing then sweating all night. I went to work but came home at noon. I had a fever but my hands and feet were ice. I had a headache, weak, and felt exhausted. I was in bed for about 48hours. If I stood up I got dizzy. Sunday I was 101.4 and I never have a fever. My temperature doesnt even usually get to normal (98.6). Also I was extremely thirsty. Monday I decided to go to the doctor. I was convinced I had the flu. Turns out I had a kidney infection! Who would have thought that would all be caused from a kidney infection. So for 3 days I didn't get enough calories in me and no exercising. I am worried the 200s will come back :o( But I think if Im just careful with what I eat and get back to working out as soon as I feel better I should be ok.

Im back

Kinda forgot I had this site. Need to start using it again. I need to update everything. I have been trying to lose weight since Jan and not doing so well. I had taken a break over Christmas and here I am 3 months later and not even down 10lbs! Geesh. I was close then I go and blow it on a night of binging. How come even when I fall off the wagon it screws up my whole week?

Not eating enough?

I bought a really neat better homes and garden cook book. It tells you how much fat is in each dish you prepare. So I was reading at the front of the book. It tells you how to figure out your daily calories. So I did it to figure it out. I count fat but was curious. So it said I should have 3,000 calories a day to maintain my current weight. If I want to lose one pound a week I need to consume 500 less calories a day. If I want to lose 2 lbs a week I need to consume 1000 calories less a day. So I took the food I ate that day and figured up I had only had 1300 calories. about 1000 less than I should have! Lately I have not been losing like I think I should. I have been stuck going back and forth between 3 lbs. And, it has taken me 11months to lose 32lbs. I dont think thats right cause I work my ass off! So could it be? Im not eating enough? That boggles my mind cause I thought I was eating plenty. So I am going to try to eat more. And Im going to start counting calories instead of fat. I was eating 30grams of fat a day. Now I will eat between 2000 and 2400 calories a day. Maybe Ive been starving myself. I know they say you can go in to starvation mode if you dont eat enough but I didnt think that was me. So here's to eating more!

I won!

My first time winning! Every week I go to a Biggest Loser weigh in group. For the first time in 14 weeks I won! YAY ME! I was really good at Thanksgiving dinner and didnt eat bad. I lost 5.5lbs this week! So I won a $75 Bath & Body works gift card. I'm so excited!

1 yard!

I have lost 37 inches off my body! That is one yard! I took my measurements today and it's a total of 37 inches. Im so happy! Im amazed at myself. I have NEVER stuck to weightloss this long and had this much success! I have had my downs and stopped for a bit but have not completely quit! Ive gotten back on track. 2 months til Mexico. I didnt lose as much as I wanted to by Dec but I am still doing it. At least I didn't quit! I have lost 3 in off my hips and 2 in of each thigh. I am most proud of that. Least excited about the 4 in off my chest lol but that could be back fat and not boobs.
