re: Weight loss journey

Quoting ♥Love♥:" I am so excited for you!   Its coming up so soon! Is there a favorite outfit/type of outfit he likes on you? or a favorite color on you?"

SO soon! The flight he was supposed to be on came in today, when he made the decision to let one of his soldiers go instead of himself, I was perfectly okay with it. But man, I was so jealous when I saw the ceremony pictures posted on FB a couple hours ago.  

And I know he loves me in skirts.   His parents are driving down to KS with me and they'll be down there for about a week, so we get a date night and I already have an outfit picked for that which involves a skirt. I know what kind of jeans he likes on me, but for shirts, I don't think he has a favorite style or color or anything.    

Weighed myself this morning, 171.6 I was hoping for a bigger loss, but I'm still bloated from AF, I'm hoping by Saturday I'm under 170!

Ahh good luck AF def knows how to mess up things lol.

Completed my boot camp class yesterday and although I am still sore in my legs I am not nearly as sore as what I was last week. I am hoping to get in a nice workout this evening after my class. I lost 2 lbs from weighing in last week which is good but its been a little over a week and I really wanna make my goal of loosing 15 by Valentines Day. I need to step it up with my diet I guess! Ladies what are some good things to make for lunch that are not just salad?

That is definitely true! I'm really trying not to get discouraged, but it's getting harder and harder to reach my goal of 159 before Seth gets home.

two pounds is still awesome!!  

I like wraps, tuna with wheat thins, greek yogurt with fresh fruit, green smoothies, sometime I'll do a lean cuisine. I'll try and think of more ideas for ya!

So, I had this ridiculous dream last night.


Seth was finally home and when I saw him, he had slimmed down quite a bit and had very defined shoulder/arm/back muscles.... and then there was me, a super blob, extreme muffin top, like a triple chin, it was terrible. LOL.

I woke up and had to turn on my light to make sure I hadn't gained 40lb over night.

LOL omg how funny!!!! That is hilarious.

Hey ladies sorry been mia in here a bit. I am super overwhelmed being back in school with 4 kids, and Sophie not sleeping great and on top of that I am going to gym 3 times a week for 2 hours and working out at home on the other days. Blahh overwhelmed doesn't describe it well enough. I'm struggling with my anorexia. Like worrying now that I am getting PPD or something. Idk not talking about it with anyone yet but getting worried I'm headed in a bad place. My weight is at a stand still... I''m eating well, honestly no cheating or anything, still nursing full time and I am not smurfing losing. I'm like ready to quit eating. I hate myself and I can't do this anymore. Sorry for the vent but omg I'm dying not seeing results here... Tomorrow is 3 weeks and for 2 of those I've lost only a handful of ounces. OUNCES!

I'm so sorry Nichole.   I wish I could offer more words of encouragement. It sounds like your overwhelmed and stressed. which I can completely understand why! Maybe focus on everything else and not so much your weight, right now? Put the scale up for a few weeks. Keep doing what you're doing, but don't let it consume your thoughts. Your body might be holding onto your body because of everything else.

You know we're here for you. <3

I am sorry you are going through a hard time. I can imagine you have a lot going on. I agree with Alyssa maybe you should put your scale up for a month and try not to focus on the actual weight. If you need to talk know I am here for you. Wish I lived closer I could babysit for a couple hrs.

Im so sorry Nichole you are going through this   I wish I had more things I could tell you but we are here for you!! Like Alyssa said, I think it would be a great idea to put the scale away for awhile. But I know thats easier said than done. Ive struggled with anorexia too, Im here for you to talk any time you need to. Maybe your body is in a plateau due to stress? Stress usually makes me hold onto weight/gain weight. I know many people who lose weight from stress but that never happens to me. You are such an amazing, caring, strong woman. You are such a great friend to me. I wish I could say more to help, my inbox is always open!

Ive had a bad couple of days. Its been three years since I was sexually assaulted, and beaten by a complete stranger. I have come such a long way since then in working to deal with anxiety/depression and PTSD but I still have days where it feels like I have a long way to go. I havent been working out as much as usual and have been indulging more than usual. I think ill be able to get back on it tomorrow. I am so glad I have you ladies to talk to and get support at times like these. <3 all of yall!

I'm so incredibly sorry. <3 January is always, always a hard month for me. Two years ago this time I had a similar thing happen to me, that I can go months with out thinking about.. but then this time of year, I have terrible flashbacks. And January 25th, 2012 was my due date for our baby we lost when I was 16 weeks.   So, if you ever need to talk, I'm definitely here for you and can kind of relate. <3

I'm so thankful for you ladies as well!!
