Alright so I weighed in at 199 so I was down 2lbs over the holidays not great but not bad either...I went down over the holidays even with my cheat of turnip and table spoon of stuffing..LOL.

Yesterday Andrew was eating ketchup chips in front of me...I really wanted one but I resisted.

Well I am 49lbs away from 150 (maybe my goal) and 69 away from 130 (maybe I will pick it somewhere in between).  I have almost been on the diet for 2 months.  I will let you know the final total for December on Friday.

Okay so I have my after Christmas weigh in tomorrow, and well I cheated but I mean I cheated with Turnip and a table spoon of stuffing....at least it wasn't with chocolate or anything else sweet.

Who would have ever though that a cheat could be turnip...LOL.  But I LOVE turnip and so I had to have some.

I just hope I don't throw off the scale too much I will let you know tomorrow.

Well it is getting harder and harder to resist all the yummy Christmas Treats.  I bought a mini gingerbread cupcake (it came in a bunch of cupcakes I bought for present opening with friends tonight) and immediately placed it in the freezer for later.  I really wanted to eat it - LIKE REALLY, but I have a goal I am trying to get to on Wednesday so I cannot cheat.

I weighed in today and I was 201.8.  My goal is 199 by Wednesday (it is a goal they set for you).  I hope to get down to that as it would be 35lbs down since November 1st.

But Christmas really is not the best time to try to lose weight - apparently most people gain 3-5lbs over the holidays so I am working against the grain here.

But as I have said before I will be cheating at Tristan's first birthday - I just have to its my little mans birthday.

SO lets start off with the fact that I went to a birthday party with pizza, dips and other yummy food and I got to eat vegetables (ones without dip even...ARG).  There was also ICE CREAM CAKE.

Second I went to the Olive Garden with friends yesterday and as the bread and salad and all the yummy pasta entrees came, I got to eat a plain chicken breast and broccoli.  I was not impressed LOL.

All the yummy food at the table...I had to distract myself by playing with a 20 month old...LOL.

I weighed in today and I guess my choices were a good one as I was down another 2lbs since Friday.  I am down to 203.  I am 10lbs away from my pre-baby weight and right at where I was the first time I went on a diet for my wedding.  I can fit into 2 pairs of regular jeans, 1 of which was pre baby (although they are a little tight in the tummy but hey I can do them up so in my books they fit...LOL).  Still in a couple pairs of maternity pants but not tops so I am moving up in the world.

So I have been having a very hard time of it.  Partially because my hubby keeps eating things I cannot (like last night Chicken fingers and onion rings) and partially because the weight was not going down at the same rate as it was...but I had not cheated.

Today I weighed in at 205 so 29lbs down and my waist measurements were down 1 1/2 inches and my hips were down 1 inch.

Now don't get me wrong 29lbs down is great and I know it hasn't been that long, only 6 weeks but considering what  I cannot eat I want the weight to come off quickly I mean that is why I am doing this particular diet.

In order to keep the incentive going I just bought (as my Christmas present from my hubby who told me to get something) a new lululemon sweater and top that doesn't fit yet but should in about 15lbs.  That should keep me going...I HOPE.

December 13, 2011

So I went in yesterday and I had to change the location of the shots...TOO many bruises.

I weighed in at 207 so I was down one..I will admit that I cheated on the week-end.  We were at a friends ugly sweater party and I had 1 jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese...I LOVE THEM but I did take off the bacon so I cheated but not really.

I tried on my pre-baby jeans (which are a large size but still didn't fit after baby) and they fit...well I can do them up they are very tight and create that lovely muffin top but HEY at least I did then up :)

December 9, 2011

SO I weighed in today and I am 208 so that is down another pound.  The only think stopping me from eating a chip or 2 (or 100 LOL) that are currently in my cupboard (as hubby likes to tell me he still needs snacks) is the fact that the numbers are still going down.  By my calculations I should hit 198(ish) by the end of the month which is just shy of the 20lbs that I lost for the month of November.  I did hope to lose another 20in December but I guess I will take what I can get.

December 7, 2010

Well I am fully entrenched in this diet, but let me tell you I would really like to eat some potatoes even...LOL.

I weighed in and I was 209 so I have gone down again...seems to be a bit slower than before...OH well I just have to stick this out.  I cannot believe that I have not cheated yet...maybe it is knowing that if I do I lose an entire week and well this diet is too expensive to lose an entire week...LOL.

December 5, 2010

Weighed in today - I am down 24lbs to 210.

This is good, but does it mean I don't want to just eat some chips or have a cupcake...NO...will I...HOPE NOT...No no I WILL NOT.  Agh I am not hungry just wishing I could be like all those skinny girls you see who eat like my Hubby and don't gain a pound...why did I not get a metabolism like that.

Festivities have Started

Well it is getting a little hard to not eat what everyone else is eating as the holidays have started.

I weighed in at 212.6 so it is going down and this is the only reason I have survived.  We went to a Bull Dogs game and everyone else had chocolate and candy as snacks and I had an Apple.  Yes an Apple it was not that exciting.

What does not help...I made diner for my hubby and what did he want chicken balls and onion rings so my house smells like ONION RINGS and how much did I want one...ALOT and what did my hubby say or some on just have a bite...ARG.
