So I sprained my ankle running and now I can't run for 3-6 weeks ugggggggg!!! FML!  My sad face, haha bad pic I know, but just showing my sad annoyed face.

Booty work...

I just got back from a run and can almost run the uphill parts without stopping.  It sounds lame, but seriously the elevation and hills make it tough!  I also, run a lot bigger of a distance than I used to.  Anyway, I had some whole wheat pasta and natural (homemade) tomato sauce for lunch with some fruit.  Super yum and way healthy! Can't wait to reach my goal.  I also went on a hike yesterday and my butttt it sooooo sore from going downhill, I guess that means my booty needs more of a workout! haha;)  The uphill part of the mountain we hiked of course made me breathe hard, but my legs aren't sore from that thank goodness. Until next time,
 xoxo, megs.

What, what??

I have been doing really well and lost 12 more pounds recently!! I'm super excited! I'm pleased with the success and have recently found myself more motivated.  I can't wait to continue the process! Things are going great. I'm working out everyday and also eating super healthy!

Fashion is one of my many passions...

so I can't wait to buy more chic clothes without worrying about bumps and lumps. It will be so awesome.  I used to only  be able to shop at lane bryant and was a size 26-28. it was terrible. I was at the stores last available size.  Now I am a size 16 ive lost 10 clothes sizes.  Oh and today I tried on a size 14 dress and it fit. and the dress i'm wearing in the above pic (large) YAY!!!

Fresh Start Number 359,450,235:)

So it's basically a rule that you have to start a diet at least a billion times before it starts working.  I just started a new semester at college and re-committed to Nutri-system.  I have been doing so good so far. Two days is all it's been, but I am extremely motivated!  So far this is all the news I have, but I can't wait to post pics of my progress! xoxo, megs

raise the roof!

Raise the roof!!

I've lost a total of 15lbs while I have been at college.  That isn't that impressive seeing as how long I have been here (2months) but it's better than what it could have happened, which is what I call the g word "gaining" weight... Starting today I'm being dramatic in the fact that I am going to strictly stick to nutrisystem. I won't add in anything else.  I need to finish my goal and i'm so pumped to reach it!

birthdayyy!!

so tomorrow is my birthday and I will finally be 19!!! Anyway, I have been doing so good on my diet and lost four pounds so far.  It's going great! I ate out last night therefore the reason it has only been four pounds! I will load a new pic soon though xoxo!

redo...

You know how you binge before starting the next diet... yeah well that's what I did.  I don't understand the logic behind it though, because it just makes for more weight to loose. Anyway, tomorrow the Nutrisystem start's, I know I said it would be earlier, but I had a date and ate bad food and have to start over and since I already screwed up I was like oh crap who cares what I eat anymore. haha okay NO more cheating. I already am exercising everday, today I did Yoga, so tomorrow I'll add in Nutrisystem:) xoxo, megs

why is dieting so hard..

I am headed to the gym right now, but went to a movie last night and had popcorn by accident.  I totally spaced, what was I thinking.  I need to

Nutrisystem...

So when in college, Nutrisystem is the way to go.  The meals are already prepared for you and it's easy to grab and go.  I would highly recommend them.  That's what I'm doing today.  I'm going on a one month Nurtrisystem fast.  I'll keep you all posted on how much I loose! I can't wait.  I'm visiting my bro in cali in april and want to drop a lot more weight until then.  Until next time xoxo:)

Getting my game face on.. ahhh yaaa! hahha:)

My motivation to keep going... Still not at my goal!

It's so important to only compare yourself to you.  I don't have pictures of models hanging anywhere because that's not realistic.  I only acknowledge the changes I've actually made so far and can't wait to keep seeing results.  I don't know what I will look like once I loose all my weight, but I also know I won't ever be a model, so I won't compare myself to one! 

Some Before Pictures... EW!

Things start to get tricky...

I've always been confident because I don't see any reason to hate yourself or life just because of how you look to the world.  I know that it's not healthy to be overweight, but I had been all my life so that's all I knew. I have always just tried to have an attitude of gratitude and be grateful for everything God has given me.
I do want to loose all of my weight though, I know I will be happier, because I have already felt a 90lb different change and just that has been amazing!!

I have tried so many diets atkins, weight watchers, nutrisystem, alli, abs diet, rice diet, calorie counting diet, ice cream diet, pasta diet, whole wheat diet, McDougall diet etc.  The thing I found is that no matter what diet I attempt, they are only as successful as I am. I also have found that the time that I keep off my weight is when I make gradual changes.

We all know the type of dieting where you say, okay tomorrow is Monday so I am going to not eat sugar start my new diet and go to the gym.  When Monday roles around though, you may wake up motivated and go to the gym, you may eat a healthy breakfast and even make it to lunch.  Then some temptation arises and you give in.  That's why gradual changes are so necessary.  Start by saying tomorrow I will start my new diet. Then after you have done good on that for a couple of weeks, add in exercise.  After a while you will keep making positive healthy changes and actually keep the weight off.

I am even getting asked on more dates now!
(isn't he handsome!!)

Tomorrow is a new day!! Don't give up!

Halfway There!

Here is a picture of what I look like right now.  I am halfway to reaching my goal! I can't wait to finally be happy with my body and health. 

Before Pictures!!

I can't believe I used to look like this!  It makes me so happy knowing how far I've come.  So far I have lost 90lbs... I have about 70lbs more to go!
