Watch How I lose my excess weight

I am hoping by making this blog, that it can show that the impossible is possible, and that maybe I can encourage and be encouraged by others. I would love to put things that work, things that don't and the PROGRESS I make. I would love this to be a conection, with no commitments of money or time, for those who are trying to lose weight. As well as this can be a blog for understanding the true struggle with weightloss that I have and many of us who struggle with losing weight. Thank you for reading and join my conversation and encouragement.
Love Judi :)

1 week officially in

I am going by my weight from this morning, which was 232.8 a little over a pound lost! yay!

I started walking with my mom at work about 20 mins 2 times a week... its not much but a start...

and I didnt stuff my face tonight at dinner which was easier to do because I actually ate today.

The sweets I had today was 2 chocolate nuggets!(Thanks to My boss, Sheri, lol) and hot cup of cocoa, it was really cold today! and I feel like I didnt eat to much which was my goal for today!!! I also started back on my other meds so maybe my body will actually want to go with what my mind wants to do lol

-------> So i will still weigh myself on Sunday but with internet access availabilty i may not post that day lol....
until next time...

Later~

Here I go!!!!

my current:
45.7 BMI
weight 234
goal weight 128
A healthy BMI is 18 to 24 which for my height is 97 to 123 lbs.
An overweight bmi is 25 to 29 for my height is 128 to 148 lbs.

OH THIS SEEMS SO IMPOSSIBLE!!!

I am starting out looking at healthy BMI I need to loose 234-123(lol)= 111 lbs
Had I not gained this 9 lbs back I wouldn’t be this far away, this is where some of my anger towards myself comes in.


I am setting my goal at 128, 234-128 is 106 lbs total.
HOLY SMOKES!!
So I have a calorie per week what I need to eat to lose 2 pounds a week which is healthy and quick (kinda lol)... thanks to a site to lose weight
So my exercise now will start with 30 mins a day walking everyday, except 2 days a week. I am going to do this for 4 weeks and then start to 45 mins a day and after 4 weeks do an hour a day. That is 12 weeks planned and unless I crave more exercise I will keep it here?
At night I will drink tea instead of eating unless Im working past 7 30 pm.
Simple start basics.. GOOD?

I am not calculating calorie output yet, I am leaving it at the above keeps me motivated but not overwhelmed.



well here I go.... Im jumping in... enjoy!
til next time....

Almost started????

Have I started my weightloss? Yes, a long time ago.
)(WHAT????????????????)

I started to lose weight when I was about 11 years old. I started with weight watchers, then to slim fast, the ones I saw on tv lol, that was a co-winkie-dink lol.

so I have started but I am not at my goal weight. I used to be smaller.
When I got very sick at 14, I lost A LOT of weight, got sick again gained it all back plus some,
I did a weightloss thing at Childrens Hospital when I was 17 and lost over 40 lbs, and it stayed off for years and I lost a few more pounds after that program. When I was unemployed for a little while, I gave myself have nothing to do, as well as some may know also when your down in the dumps from not being able to financially support myself, you really do think about taking care of yourself or feel able to... That is what happened to ME lol < I laugh because its easier

 Well I started back at work after 8 months of unemployment and had to walk pushing a buggy around a lake for 20 minutes. After 1 day of doing that I almost cried, I could not believe the PAIN I was in after only a 20 minute brief walk. I was only 21. But I want to work and realizing how out of shape I was, I had a spark to get me going on trying to truely lose weight.

I started walking more, after work, also it helped that I had to take the bus home so I walked about 20 minutes to get to the bus, and it went down to 10 mins, WALKING WORKS on getting started.
When I started this walking I was in pain everyday. Oh my back, my feet, my knees, my calves. I would get DIZZY and thirsty and just could not breath, I hated it!!!!


When I go on long walks it sparks me up to lose weight, I get the thought If I can walk for 2 hours and how good and bad I feel when I am done, I get to tell myself, I love this BUT, I NEVER WANT to feel like this again and I keep going.


after a year of walking I started at the gym 10 a month, great and awesome price :)....
I pushed myself SO hard, I went for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week.
.... I would weigh myself and I wouldn't lose a pound.
I worked out for 4 months straight on this routine, I lost a total of 10 pounds... AND I ATE RIGHT... I think I let other people keep me from keep going, and maybe chop it in half. I didn't understand why I was working so hard why  I didnt lose weight. and I got sick a week after I stopped UGH!!!
I miss working out, not because I lost weight but I felt more toned and healthier and happy.... imagine 100 pounds less

Though these experiences of "TRYING" I hope I can reflect to see what works and what doesnt.

So I am packing this weekend and I still plan on starting with the weight and figuring out the hard facts:

I am going to walk 20 minutes a day to start.
I have started with a suggestion from my mom, eat one plate, don't go back for 2nds
and keeping with this blog I believe gives me something to look forward to try.

oNE Thing I look forward to when I lose weight I want to look cute in clothes I really like, not black and dark and baggy. Or something I like and just doesn't look right.

I will be back by Sunday at the latest so I can update the new goals and calorie structure.
well until next time.... see ya

Second Day... Is this working?

So I officially decided to start weighing my self on Sunday, that way I can weigh myself consistantly and at the same time every week. I was wondering if I am going to be shy in my blog about this weight loss, NO! I am going to put the struggles and the ALL the EMOTIONS that tie into this process. This is going to be the hardest thing I will EVER DO! I think Mainly because so much relies on this one thing for my life. I know through CHRIST I can do ALL things.
 As you saw I have 5 reasons why I want to lose the weight that I have been carrying around with me for over half my life.

The Basics of weight loss is eating less calories than you put out! SIMPLE????? LMAO (on paper)
to make it more fun... you have to eat a minimum so your body doesn't go Crazy without you knowing it and end up not losing weight lol... that is a deal breaker!!!

My homework for what I need to get started next week.

  1. On Sunday after I weigh myself,
  •  I will figure out my BMI
  • My total wight I need to lose to get to my weight goal
  • The calories I need to Intake and output
 2. I am going to figure out how I will eat healthier, with in my required calories. (intake)
 
 3. What I will do for exersize. (output)

I know that it has been easy for me to start a diet or an exersize regimen... That IS NOT the problem, for me... It is how to keep going!!! lol
 I am hoping with this blog, it helps me look forward to losing weight, being excited about it lol.


I am doing this to be healthy, so I also need to start other regimens and healthy choices that will make it easier to lose weight as well as keep me stable and and have a productive weightloss. Hoping with all that, keeping the weight off AND STAYING HEALTHY!

Til next post.... have a great night!
