response to Connie du Toit

This is in reference to a friend of ours’ post… just thought i’d post it here just to tell of how things have been gong…

I know I’m young, but I think I can DEFINATELY say that I know what you’re going through. At least on the weight loss side. When I was ten years old I weighed 210lbs. I was depressed and pretty much alone when it came to trying to lose the weight. I went on weight watchers and lost down to 140lbs in the span of four months… 70 pounds in fou months was not good as you probably know… I became very ill. Ever since then I’ve been gaining and gaining. When I got married in April, I was at my heavist. 320 pounds. That’s a lot. Just recently I decided to do something about it IF there was something I could do… I restricted my caloric intake to 1500 a day. I’ve been on this new “Diet"/"Life Change” since the end of August and I’ve lost roughly 3 inches off my waist. It’s not terribly noticible to anyone other than my husband, even I don’t notice a change. But it’s just because I’ve always, ALWAYS seen myself as the BIG girl. I’ve been flip-flopping between 322-318 lbs in the last week and I’m feeling a little dissappointed. Bobby says that I’m doing well but it’s still a big struggle for me. I just thought I’d let you and the family know that you and the family are thought of and aren’t alone.
Here’s hoping!
Good luck and Lot’s of LOVE!!!

Measure Up

I’ve taken to realize that I haven’t really lost any weight this week. BUT, my adoring husband reminded me that, since I have increased my activity level, I am mostly likely gaining muscle. Therefore, I am losing fat and retaining the weight. Which isn’t too terrible o a problem.

So, I’ve been sitting here on the couch deciding what I should do about this weigh thing, and I was feeling around, trying to see where I’ve dropped the weight (or to see if I could notice any type of diffrence...) and low and behold I know EXACTLY where I’ve lost my weight.

I. CAN. FEEL. MY. HIP. BONES.
OMG.
I haven’t REALLY felt my hopbones since my freshman year of high school when i weighed 140lbs. I am finally seeeing my jawline again which is so encouraching. I have wonderful cheekbones and they shouldn’t be hidden by baby chipmunks…

So after this beautiful discovery… I decided that I am going to start measuring myself…

A few websites that I’ve researched said that the ‘perfect’ woman should have measurements of 33-23-33, 36-24-36… Yeah, that’s crap. Well, at least right now it is. I’ll get there soon…
But I’ve also seen that women should keep a good waist-to-hip ratio....  They also said that the ratio should be under .8 and how do we find this ration??? 

SIMPLE!  ish… just divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement!

ok. lets see how I do…

Waist = 47
Hips = 59
___________
app. .79661

WEWT!!!
So I’m doing great so far.

Ok, i’m tired after all that excitement.
Signing off.

bored

Ok so it’s 9:36am and I’m waiting to leave for school. I’m just sitting here. There. Is. Nothing. To. Do.  I can’t leave now, because if I do I’ll get there at like, 10:30… and class doesn’t start till 11. I mean, I could go and bring a book.. Gawd that’s a great idea. Ok I’m going to go do that.. lol. Just thought I’d post and see if anyone is paying attention to me. hehhe…

WOOHOO!!!

Ok.. so on Monday I decided that my life needed a change. Now, I don’t know if you all know, but quite recently Bobby and I were researching the LapBand. Well, after calling the Health Insurance company, they told us that they don’t cover any type of weight loss surgery unless it’s a life or death situation.

Yes, pretty devastating, but…
That won’t stop me. I am DETERMINED TO LOSE WEIGHT. No matter what… And to prove how determined I am, I have begun a strict calorie counting diet.

I began on Monday.  I am a little ashamed to say that my starting weight was 330lbs.
Since monday, keeping my calorie intake between 1000 and 1500 calories, I have lost a grand total of…
Dun, dun, DUUUUNNNNN!!!!

5 whole pounds!! 
I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF!!!

by next week I should be down another 5 lbs!!!!

*CHEERS*

(thank you thank you)

Well, I will be updating each week now.
I’m in school so updates will be a combination of recent projects and progession of weight loss!

Love you all, and peace out!!!

Road Trip!!!

This morning my wonderful husband and I woke up at 6:30 and began our drive to Cordele, Gerogia. It’s now 11:45 and we passed the Florida/Georgia line about half an hour ago. It’s amazing the things that you see on the road. I mean, a Semi just passed us that was packed down with catfish. I mean, that is awesome. I’m not too bored because I’ve been driving for about three hours, my turn for a break, but I’m thinking of starting an “Eye Candy” section of my favorite guy actors and singers. I might throw some women in too, but then I guess I couldn’t call it Eye Candy… Hrm… We’ll see how things come about.

After we hit Cordele, we get to head on up to North Carolina. This whole trip is to train the people at these two places how to use a program Bobby wrote for a printer for packaging. I think. I guess. Anyways, it’s a nice road trip. Just to get away.

I Definately can’t wait for next week. On Tuesday Bobby and I will be flying from Florida to Washington for a conference for him. A GREAT perk is that there’s a Koi place (can’t remember name of it right now) where one of the Koi breeding Champions will be at with his World Champion Koi!!!  We really hope we can get one of the Babies.

After the conference we’ll be hopping on our CRUISE TO ALASKA! WOOT! OMG!!!!!!!!! I’m excited. Could you tell? I’ll be bringing my camera so we’ll take LOTS of pictures.

Well, I’m tired of writing for the moment.
Love you all!
