Spring Weight Off – Week 6

Here we are at week 6. I cannot believe I have not lost one pound over the last two weeks. I haven’t gained either, but still. I have been DOING SO GOOD! It just irritates me so bad. I’m not going to let it get me down. I am in this to lose and I will just have to change up some things this week to see what is going on. I mean come on… I didn’t even eat any of my birthday cake HA!

Please leave me some encouragement and let me know this is just normal to go through this weight loss process. I am still doing good right?

How is everyone else doing? We are in this together remember. Hopefully it will be a little warmer tomorrow so the girls and I can do our walks again. It has been really really cold so we haven’t got to get outside much.

The Spring Weight Off – Week 5

I am finally able to get online and blog. Hooray for this! The move went ok. I got teary eyed quite a few times driving up here to NC from Florida. Also it didn’t help matters that Lyndsee my youngest was vomiting on the whole trip and it continued till yesterday. I believe we have figured out the culprit and hopefully we can get her on the mends soon!

I have to say… I have been doing so good with my healthy eating. It hasn’t been easy to not touch temptations that I see some family members eat, but I just go get my water or rice cakes!

I know my pants are getting looser as well but there is no scale here at my parent’s house, so hopefully I can get one Friday. Today I walked 2 miles with the girls and then this evening one mile by myself. Its all downhill going down then uphill coming back so its quite a workout. I was proud and hopefully can keep this up.

So link up everyone.. here we are in week 5. I want to hear how all of you all doing. I know I do wish the pounds would go away quicker, but they say losing it at a steady pace is a healthier so I keep telling myself that.

Let’s hear it moms!

Spring Weight Off – Week 4

End of Week 3.

I’m not going to lie… it has been a very stressful week filled with all kinds of family. I didn’t even focus on drinking all my water I should be and doing my DVD.

But… I got on the scale this morning and was happy to find 2 more pounds gone. That made my morning because I was doing me some more stressing that I had gained.

With that said:

Beginning Weight: 200 lbs

This Week’s Weight: 189.5

I believe everything is calming down so I am going to be doing a big week this week with my DVD and my water water and more water.

How did everyone else do. Please link up and tell us. We all need the support and us moms can do it!!!

Operation Spring Weight Off – Week 3

Here we are at the end of Week 2 and Beginning our Week 3. How did everyone do? Did you stick to your plan?

I weighed in this morning…..

Starting Weight 200lbs

Today’s Weight: 191.5lbs

Weight Loss so far 8.5 lbs

I only lost 3 pounds this week when I was hoping for another 4.5 to 5. I did not get to do my biggest loser DVD because my laptop has crapped out on me, but I am going to see if I can put it here on my main computer and do the exercises here in my office.

Everytime I even think of something sweet, I think Jen this will not look good on the Operation Spring Weight Off. So I love this is helping to hold me accountable. I am super stoked to see where I am at on my birthday in a month.

Ok… Link up everyone and let us know how you did.

Ok… Mom’s… Here we are at week 2. How did everyone do? Did you make sure to drink your water each day?

I did. I made sure I gulped it down hehe. For the most part I did really good this week. Really focusing on my fruits and veggies. Two times this week, I did treat myself to some good ole sweet ice tea. I felt like that was my little desserts.

I weighed in this morning and I am:

Beginning Weight: 200

Today’s Weight: 195.5

So I am down 4.5 pounds for the week. Not too bad. I wish it was more, but will take what I can for now .

First Week Operation Spring Weight Off

Mom’s here we go. This is the very first day of the Weight-Off and I know this is going to be a success. Look moms at all the prizes so far and I still have a couple more prizes that I am finishing up details on. I will continue adding to the page as well.

Each Monday morning we will post our beginning weight and then that week’s weigh-in. If you do not want to post your actual weight that is totally fine as well. Just post how many pounds you would like to lose and where you are at for the week. We will be there to support each other through this and if you are having a bad day, blog about it and we will be right there with you to give you an extra hand of motivation and support. Moms let’s make sure we are all staying in touch with each other. I will post different motivations throughout the week as well.

The beginning motivation I would like to start with… is make sure you are drinking your water each day. 64 ounces of a water is what we want to be striving for each day. If you can do more, that is great. We can do it. Just put the water at your desk and sip on it throughout the day

My story: I weighed 132 pounds when I got pregnant with my first daughter. Which was a pretty good weight for me considering I am 5 ft. 8 inches. After I had my first daughter, I lost the weight really good and all my pregnancy weight was gone by the time she was 6 months old.

Now I got pregnant with my second daughter when my first daughter was 13 months old. I gained 70 pounds with her and never lost it. I had post partum depression with my second daughter and I never had it treated, so I don’t know if that is the reason I have held onto the weight or not. It has fluctuated throuhgout the 3 years of her life and I was down to 170 once but with everything in life that has went on, I have gained those 30 pounds back. So…

My starting weight is: 200 lbs
My goal weight is: 140lbs

I am really serious about this weight off and so happy other moms are joining in to help me through this time. We are all here for each other!

Please sign Mr. Linky below and share your story this first week.
