The weigh in was not what I was thinking. My scale must be totally off. It told me I had lost 14 pounds but the weigh in said I lost 8 :(I cried all the way home, it was a very depressing day. However, my wonderful friends and family reminded me that I had lost 8 pounds and should be excited. I have had a rough time getting back to healthy eating and exercising. I started off really well but have almost given up lately. Just seems I worked so hard for 8 pounds. I needed to get that thinking out of my head. I have to suck it up and show myself I can do this!

I am really excited for the weigh in on Saturday. I have been using my scale at home and have lost 13 pounds, but the scale at LEAN is official in my mind. I am excited to see what it says. I am actually looking forward to having it in the paper too just do I can see the loss in print. I am home sick today (so no Cabanas) but I am going it helps drop some pounds ;). I am glad I joined this program, seems to be the push I needed. I have had my mom brag to people about what I am doing and even had my nephew ask me for advice! Feels great to have made some healthy changes and have people asking me for weight loss tips. I am not dieting, just making healthy lifestyle changes!

well I was doing well...then my and my husbands birthdays came and his family was visiting from out of town..so I had a bad few days. Time to get back to it! I really wish that the lightenup had a support group for us once a week. Just seems like that would really help me. Maybe next year ;) I am still doing better then I ever did before. Tonight I am going rollerskating with my son, should be interesting and great exercise!

People are starting to notice that I am losing weight. Got a compliment today that my faces looks thinner!! Lost over 10 pounds so far!!

Finally have my picture in the paper (and I actually like it) and right next to it is my weight..I really thought it would bother me, but it doesn't..because that weight is WRONG!!! I don't weight that anymore :) and next month when they put it in again it is going to be a lot less!! :) :) :)

This week I stuck to my low calorie diet, but only lost 1 pound. I know that is how it goes but it was discouraging. Lucky for me my husband and my parents are such good supporters. My son (who is 5) makes me exercise every night. It may only be dancing to Just Dance for an hour but it is something. I know tomorrow will not be a good day for the diet, but it's my birthday!! I am feeling so good and I am loving the example I am setting for my kids. It also feels great to have my husband and my mom tell me how proud they are of me!

This was sent last week but for some reason it didn't post

 

So far this weekend I have already lost a few pounds. I feel great. I have been eating healthier and so has my whole family. I have a great support system and I know I am really going to need them. Worked out today with my 5 year old and had a great time. He stopped before me because he was tired :) I know there will be ups and downs but I know I can do this!
