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.

16 weeks ago

Ive lost 18.6lbs since these pics 16 weeks ago!!!

Big Butt!!

I was going through pictures on the computer at work Thursday and came across a picture of me from March of this year. I was HUGE! And my butt was like a giant ghetto booty on a girl from a rap video! I was just so big and I cant believe it! I asked people at work if I still look like that and they said no! Thank God! I didnt realize I looked like that and am thankful that I am losing weight! Even if it is slowly.

Size 16!

I have a pair of size 16 old navy capris. I decided to try to get them on. They were very tight but they zipped up! So I fit in to a pair of size 16 pants! WOOHOO! Its disgusting to say but I started in size 23. I am comfortably in a size 18 now. I can buy jeans at Old Navy! I couldnt before because they only go up to 18. It's so nice!

6 weeks

Its been 6 weeks since I last posted. I've had ups and downs. I am down 28.1lbs right now though. But then it goes up 5lbs and I get depressed bla bla bla. So anyway, this is my 6 week pic since the last time I posted. I dont really see a difference. These size 18 jeans do feel loose though. And this is a size Large shirt.

Round 3

This is the 3rd round of my 12 weeks. I have come so far! My next twelve weeks will end Sept 19. This is my new pic to start the next 12 weeks!

Weeks 12-24

week 12 week 16 week 24

This is the change over the last 12 weeks. I have now been doing this for 24 weeks - 6 months.

This is why...

This is why I can wear a size L! I didn't start taking behind pics until 8 weeks ago but I am glad I did! This is how much I have changed from behind in the past 8 weeks! I am SOOOO excited! WOW look at the difference! I had no idea. Only 8 weeks!
