Y HELLO my fellow buddy slimmers! I’m not a regular blogger but I just wanted to check in a drop a few lines about my progress since I’m not on buddyslim as much. As Loni posted a while back we started a one month challenge ending near Halloween. It really has been going great for me I lost 4 pounds in a week from the zig zag method so Im down to 228.8 YAY! Still a long way to go before I’m back down to where I was when I was playing basketball but I’m being patient and staying positive. I hope everyone is doing great!

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!

Okay Ok Ok…..so I haven’t wrote a blog in a long time since I’m not really a blogger but I felt my thought today would be fair enough to blog. So as our Wildcat challenge we have to basically define our fear and how we plan to face it or overcome it.

Well overall I have been told I am an anti-social type of girl, which I do admit is true. I do not have very many female friends first even guy friends. To get to straight to the point my fear has always been worrying about what people think of me. I have ALWAYS been self conscious of my image. I rarely go out because I don’t want to be compared to all the other smaller girls. To make things worse I am taller then all of my friends so I feel like everyone is staring at me when we are out at a club or anywhere together. Honestly the only thing that will make me feel more confident in myself is if I lose weight. The smallest I have been is 211 and at that weight I still was self conscious of myself. I try to think of all the great things I have going for myself but my weight always over powers EVERYTHING!!! So to face my fear I don’t know maybe I will just have more faith in myself with losing weight and hopefully things will get better for me mentally. Advice would be helpful because I really don’t have any other solutions to my fear.

Okay as some may know it has been hard for me to eat my required daily calories. I haven’t had an appetite almost all week. I have been so afraid to stop working out that I only took 1 day out of 16 days of working out to let my body rest. With the personal stress I have been going through the gym has been my stress reliever. I workout during my lunches at work, I go home and do resist training and crunches, then about 3 days out of the week I go to the gym at night again to get and extra hour of cardio to help me sleep well. After my first week weigh in I lost 3 lbs. When I weighed in this morning I lost NOTHING. Yesterday I tried my best to eat but only ended up having one real meal the entire day. I had a chipotle burrito and chips. Not too long afterwards I took my daughter to get ice cream and got a single scoop of pralines and cream. I know I didn’t eat very much yesterday but I know for sure I went over my calories with the fast food. I have done so well with not eating fast food or even junk food but after yesterday when I got home I felt like I let myself down having ice cream and fast food. I was thinking about all the possible things that can have an effect on not losing weight. I only get 5 to 6 hours a sleep each night, I over work my body, I don’t eat enough or intake the proper amount of fat, protein, carbs and sugar, and I stress a lot throughout the week over school, work and parenting.

Im trying to stay positive and get past all of the negative mental thoughts.

I told myself I will have a good weekend full of rest, working out and proper calorie intake.

Support and Advice needed!!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!

It has been alittle over a week since I started  own personal challenge.  I weighed in this morning and lost 3lbs Yay!! Since the start of my challenge I have worked out 6 days a week sometimes having double workouts a day trying different cardio to burn calories. I have stayed within my goal calories of 1200 and 1500. All my hard work has really paid off this week im so proud of my accomplishment. I really try to avoid blogging about my personal life because I know no one wants to hear about it but this week has been hard for me with work, night school and my 2-year old monster. The gym has been my stress reliever all week. My greatest fear is giving up and falling off from losing weight but buddyslim has REALLY held me together. I really dont talk to too many buddies but reading everyones’ blogs and watching people lose weight everyday keeps me motivated. Every single booster note I receive pushes me further and further away from giving up. I have finally moved my weight tracker closer to my goal and it feels sooooo GREAT!!!!

 Its a new week I plan to go it all over again with working out and eating healthy!!

 Have a great day and God Bless.

My weekend went very well. I got up and ran/power walked almost 3 miles on Saturday and Sunday. The heat in Fontana is unbearable Im surprised I didn’t have a heat stroke. I also did well with my calorie intake.

I’ve come to realize that the scale is very depressing, it makes you feel like you’ve done nothing when you have workout your behind off for results. I know for a fact it killed my confidence this morning when I got a quick weigh in before breakfast I feel a difference in my clothes so I’m just gonna put the scale where I can’t see it to keep me from hopping on every day (hope it works).

So its week two I am looking forward to doing things the same as last week but a little better with food choices. My boyfriend is no help since he tells me he loves me the way I am, its a good thing but its not because he doesn’t care when I have my food cravings and eat things that I know I will regret later. Overall I’m happy with my progress thus far taking everything one day at a time at my own pace and not rushing things. I’ve haven’t been this excited and focused to loss weight in almost three years. Thanks You Buddyslim and all my new buddies for the continuous motivation

Have a great week and God Bless!!!

Happy Sunday Everyone,

So far I’ve explored Buddyslim and it has motivated me to start my own challenge for each my month to come. My first challenge for the month of August will be as follows:

• Working out at least 4 to 5 times a week for 45 minutes or more.
• Staying within eating between 1500 to 1800 calories a day.
• No fast food excluding fresh food restaurants such as Subway and Quiznos.

I feel like I need to do this challenge to get my weight tracker moving. I’ve already taken my BEFORE pictures and look forward to a least an 8 lbs difference when I take my AFTER pictures in September.

Yesterday was day one for me and I ran/walk a little over 2 miles. The heat in
Fontana, CA almost gave me a heat stroke but I went as long as I could against the heat and wind. I also did squats and sit ups after my run. Yesterday I took my two-year old to a birthday party and managed to stay within my goal calorie intake. I didn’t have any cake and ice cream nor did I have any of the snacks they had for the guests, so I was very proud of myselfJ

I kind of feel somewhat lonely on buddyslim since I’m still fairly new to everything so more buddies and support would really help me or if anyone would care to join me on my August challenge it would be great.

Have a good day all and God Bless!!!!

Day one was good as far as my eating and working out. I was mentally and physically drained from work and studying for a midterm but it kept my mind off eating anything near me. I only got 30 minute workout in between work and class but something is better then nothin right?? Choosing what to eat for dinner was a challenge because I didnt want to eat any fast food. I was proud of myself for making it all the way home without stopping for any fast food, BUT I did come home and have two oatmeal cookies. I stayed within my calories but I wasnt too proud of my choice for dinner :0(.

 So far today for I had a small bowl of oatmeal and a navel orange. For lunch I had 6 fish sticks with ketchup and a glass of water. I’m proud of my progress so far for the day. I am going to the gym later on for a good intense workout. Any suggestions on what I should have for dinner that’s light and not expensive?? Let me know what you guys think!!!!!

 Have a great day and God Bless!!!!

Hello All,

I am blogging to you all for help and advice. I have not been with buddy slim very long so my progress thus far is pretty lame. Well, since I stopped playing basketball and could not longer afford weight watchers I have lost all motivation with working out and controlling my calorie intake. I have done two weight loss challenges with family and friends and won both, but it seems as if I cannot stay on top of things when there is nothing won in the end. I commit to starting today with monitoring my calorie intake and working out daily. Overall I want to lose b/w 40 and 50lbs. Advice from you all would be greatly appreciated (the more the better). If there are any support groups I can join or challenges I can get involved in would really help my jump start.

So far my calorie intake has been decent, I’ve had a bagel (with nothing on it) and 12oz of orange juice. I have fruit and yogurt for snacks between meals. I am going to do 45 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of resistance training today after work around 2pm.

I look forward to all responses :0)

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE & GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!

Hello All :0) Im new to buddy slim seeking a weight loss buddy or buddies. I did weight watchers and lose 30 lbs but it became too expensive for my budget and began to plateu with my weight loss. I’ve realized that I really need support by others to push myself and loose weight and eat healthier.

Today I did well staying within my recommended calorie intake.

I just hope i can keep it going tomorrow and for the 4th :0(     HELP!!!
