Week 5 POUNDAGE LOSS update!!!

I am still going strong in my goal to release these excess pounds off of MY body!

I know you don't want to hear me ramble so I will just quickly give my stats first. And then if you want to stay for the rest...feel free.

Start Weight: 194 - Now: "drumroll" 182.8!!!!
Start arms in inches: 14.5 - Now: 13.5
Thighs: 26 - Now: 24
Bust/Chest: 43.5 - Now: 40
Waist: 41.5 - Now: 35
Hips: 48.5 - Now: 45
Low belly fat: 47 - Now: 45
High belly fat: 37 - Now: 35


I have lost 11.2 pounds and 18 inches OFF OF ME!

Can you believe that?

I am really excited to be under 180.

It really hasn't been hard. Those first 2 weeks were BAD! I cried for my late night snacks and the sugars I wanted so badly. I mean it HURT! It was painful in every way.

I know that the sugar and late night snacks were to feed something. And I am working on those issues as well. I find that I have started to replace my eating with the control of my weight loss, counting those calories, saying no to cake, etc. But it is something Matthew and I are both watching because I cry if I feel I don't eat well enough for the day. I am a control freak. And now that I can't eat to stuff that down, it is coming up more.

Just be in prayer for me. :)

I am enjoying that when it is meal or snack time that I am actually hungry. To eat again because I am in need of food is a neat feeling. And then to eat to hunger is another neat thing. I am starting to not feel deprived. And planning what I want to eat is FUN! When you really think about your meals and plan for them it is like Disney World plans. HEE HEE.

When your smallest son comes to you as your dressing and says, " WOW MOMMY YOUR TUMMY IS WAY SMALLER", you can't help but feel good!

When your husband thinks he has the wrong car when you meet him somewhere because your jeans look "different" on you, that is delightful!

I can't wait to have lost 20 pounds. I am going to reward myself with a new piece of clothing. CAN'T WAIT!

Alright, I will leave you guys with that weight loss update.

I do have some sad news to share...but I will most likely wait for a few hours so I can wrap my mind around it. Just know my family is okay.

You are doing such an awesome job. You will be shopping for new clothes in no time. I am so glad to hear that it is getting easier for you. :0)

Wow, you are doing GREAT! I am on that path too. I probably have about 10-15 lbs to loose. I have been exercising and not seeing drastic results so I went to the next step. Paying attention to diet. It isn't fun, I know. I like my night time snacks and sugar too. But when we get to see the results, it will be worth it!
