Where do I start... I've been having a really hard time with the weight loss... so I thought. It seemed to me that no matter how hard I tried, the scales just weren't moving. Talking to Mindy, she thinks that b/c I am working out so much and eating "okay", that maybe I'm not eating enough. Working out is burning most of the calories off that I'm eating in one day. With that advice, b/c I don't/can't eat breakfast, I started drinking a shake in the morning. I think that is helping but it tends to make me feel like I'm hungry by 11ish which wasn't the case before. The running is driving me crazy. I feel as though I could run a mile with no problems one day, and the next it's hard as heck to run 1/2 mile. No sense! I had my 3rd fill on Tuesday, which was also our 8 year anniversary. As of my last visit which was in January, I'd lost exactly 10lbs. They said I'm right on track losing 1.5lbs a week although by my scale, it's a little more. Obviously I'm sticking with my number! She didn't want to give me a fill but did b/c I wanted one. Not much, just .5cc. I'm wondering if I screwed up b/c it seems like I'm having a difficult time with food....sometimes... and have for sure found out that I cannot eat bread!!! yuck and ouch is all I can say! Here's a picture of the beautiful flowers that my husband sent me on Tuesday.
My next appointment @ Dr. Babineau's office is April 14. I am shooting to lose another 10lbs which would put me in "onederland." For all of you that don't understand that term, it means I would be in the 100's!! Whoohoo .... Which I haven't' seen that number in forever... Will keep you guys posted... Also by the way... forgive me for any typos or wrong terminology. I try to do this so fast and my husband informed me the other day that it's looks like I have no high school/college education and that I can't spell.... ooppssss hahahhaha

I was worried about you as you hadn't posted in a while. Great work on the 10 pounds. I am cheering you on to "onederland". It feels so good. You can do it. Eat your 3 choices each meal or your body will starve itself.
Ahh, a fellow typo/spell checker amigo..my friends constantly make fun of me for my "blog grammar"..I think it's just b/c our minds go so much faster than our fingers, that our blogs sound so jibberish.. Either way, people get the POINT, Right??!! :)
Congrats on the progress..I need help. I haven't been to The Institute in weeks!! :(
Ugh- I HATE being Fat, so why can't I DO something about it?!
Hi!
Congrats on your loss. 10 pounds is fantastic. I can't wait to hear all about onderland!
Your flowers are beautiful!
Take care,

Thanks girls! Candy... It's so hard to stay focused on working out. I was one of those people. Hated it after a month. I paid for the membership @ Parkway in full thinking that would make me go. (last march) Nope! I quit after 2-3 months and just started going back around Dec-Jan. I've found a new love for it. The way it makes me feel and look. Granted I have an advantage b/c of my band, but my body is really starting to take shape. I plan on joining the institute probably next week. I do have days where I don't want to go, and if so, I don't b/c I don't want to burn out. I've been living this chunky life for 15+ years and I'm tired of it. I wanted to have kiddos and not be so overweight that it would be that much more to lose. I have faith in you! It's so freaking hard but just do a little at a time. That's better than nothing. I also know this.. and don't want to sound like a preacher b/c the Lord knows I've been preached to a million times and hated it.... people could preach all they wanted to but until I was ready, nothing was going to happen!!! You CAN do it chica!
Hey lady! Keep working hard. My trainers tell me to eat 5-7 times a day. The more often I eat, the more I burn. Can't wait to hear from you again!
Your doing a great job !
10pds is great. and your doc is right 1.5pds a week is "average" and a good speed for weight loss.
Also I forgot, are you allowed snacks ? If your doc says " no" you might want to talk to him , ask him if you can have them . Im allowed snacks and honestly cant imagine not having them , I can have up to 3 a day but really only need one , SOMETIMES 2 , I usually need one in the afternoon and if i have another one its a night , but uuslaly thats just cause im mindlessly eating. But def need one in the afternoon between lunch and dinner.
Check on the protein shake your drinking in the am , does it have enough protein ? maybe try one w/ more protein to keep you full ?
hang in there your doing awesome

Congrats on the 10 pounds. So close to onederland has to feel AMAZING! I love reading your blog so I'm glad you did an update :)
Congratulations on your 10 lb loss! That is great. I am plateaued right now and trying to make the scales move. You are an inspiration to me! Keep it up!!!!
Ladies... yall are great! I'm so happy right now and haven't been in so long. It't horrible that being over weight will do that to you. For the first time in forever, I am proud of myself for the accomplishments that I am making. It's not always easy, but will put up a damn good fight to win! We all can win this... it's just how bad you want it... and let me tell you... I want it BAD!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
Congrats on the 10lbs loss! Keep up the good work!
