Yay , another loss!

We did our weigh in this morning and I am down another 1.5lbs. Yay me! Despite getting an unwelcomed visit from Aunt Flow this morning :( Oh well, I went 18 months without a period......I guess I'm due!


Cadence has been having sleep issues again (I think due to teething.) So neeless to say, I am in serious need of a good nights sleep.


On a lighter note, my good friend Lisa just found out that she is pregnant with #2 after 6 long months of trying. Congrats Lisa :)

The driver's licence LIES!!!!

Well I was looking at my drivers licence today and the weight that it says I am is 150lbs! I want to be at that weight SO BAD!

While watching "Biggest Loser" tonight I kinda had an A-HA moment. Why am I fat?? I am fat because I had a baby; I am fat because my parents divorced when I was 9 and the only comfort I got was from food; I am fat because I don't remember what it was like to be skinny........and it scares the hell out of me! By identifying these reasons that I am where I got to today, makes me realise that I am stronger than any of these things!!
I can do this!

Goals for the week:

1. Stay on point for the 2nd week in a row
2. Drink all of my H2O
3. Go to the gym at least 4 times


Ok, well thats all for me tonight. Cadence is finally sleeping in her own bed and I am going to get some much needed sleep.

Death By Chocolate

Df has this guy he works with who is an unbelievable cook, I mean he'd give Martha friggin Stewart a run for her money. So he is over at his house today and he brings me home a piece of chocolate moussey, cheesecakey, tort thingy.....and I ate it (well most of it)!!! It was so frackin good I almost died, totally worth the bazillion points. I'm heading to the gym tomorrow morning bright and early to hopefully burn off some of those well worth it calories.

Before, Heavy & Now

Here are some pics of me, the good, the prego & the huge!

Being Accountable

Well this is my first post in my weight loss journey. I am currently 210lbs, going down from 218.5 after following WW for the past 2 weeks. This is the heaviest I have EVER been, I gained close to 50lbs when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was 100% worth it and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I want to lose this weight, for 2 reasons; 1. to fit into my wedding dress (I ordered it 2 sizes smaller) & 2. to feel better about myself and get my confidence back (ok I guess that was 3 reasons)

I am marrying the love of my life on Aug 31st 2008 and I want to look gorgeous. This is my dress and my inspiration.
