Weigh in week #38 & some randoms

So yesterday was weigh in day and i lost 1.1 lb i cant say I'm excited but its still a loss and since i didn't push myself to hard when i did work out that's what happens you don't lose much, but i am glad i did lose at least. I'm starting to notice a difference in my arms from lifting my 5 lb weights, and my shoulders are getting skinnier woot woot!! lol plus this last Sunday i did eat a whole small pizza that was like 950 cals but it was worth it because i hardly ever treat myself!!!

I was thinking of posting things on here that have helped me through out my weight loss and that can maybe help or motivate others on there journey. This journey hasn't been easy nor has it been terribly hard either but the thing that sucks the most is I'm doing it alone with no help or support from my husband or family but i know in the end that's going to make me stronger
and not what to fail. I am proud of myself doing it alone and I've come this far to turn back. To even think of going back F***k that lol. After all this hours i have put into working out and all the money I've spent on eating right. That would just be plain out stupid!!

Ok here are some tips that have helped me and saved me on my weight
loss since I've been going.

:TIP'S:

Clean kitchen ( A must!! when its dirty i lose motivation in me and everything
around )

Clean dishes ( I'm willing to stay on track if everything is clean and ready to go )

Food scale ( weigh everything!! its a life saver & will help you on portion control )

Measuring cups & spoons ( make sure there always clean & ready to use )

Zip locks ( Good for portions control & keeps food from going bad )

Cooking Spray ( I bought a misto and put my own olive oil in saves $$ )

Oatmeal ( My go to food when im starving, fills me up )

Water water water!! ( water & lemon helps burn calories )


If i can think of anything els ill blog it, My grammar sucks i know lol just
bare with me.

Weigh in week #37


This weeks weigh in i lost 3.5 lbs and that brings my weight loss down to 65 lbs. I have never lost 65 lbs at once before so for me this is such an accomplishment. I'm so proud of myself for coming this far and not turning back. Of course I've like everyone els have had bumps in the road and made mistakes along the way and i have learned from those mistakes.
I been on this journey for 37 weeks now with no family support just me and that has been a bit hard on me but i just keep going. I want to thank all my youtube and facebook subscribers without them i wouldn't of ever came this far in my journey. Seeing other people out there just like yourself going through the same thing you are and watch them every week is one of the best motivations i could of ever gotten. Along this

journey i have figured out a lot of things about myself. I'm a stress and
emotional eater and when things stress me out or i get down i turn to
food for comfort and I'm still not sure how to break that habit but it will
take time and that's why this is a journey to learn as you go and develop
new habits.

Today i did allow myself to eat pizza out today but i did get a small
instead of a medium or a large and it was just perfect. Ok i will wrap
this up and blog again real soon *goodnight*

Ps If you would like any weight loss tips on things that have helped
me along the way just leave me a comment and i will respond

Thank you

No support system :(


I really don't have a support system and i have just wondered how i have come all this way and lost 61lbs on my own with no support :( I wish my mom would be supportive but it just seem like every time i get happy and tell her how much i have lost. She rolls her eyes and that hurts my feelings. I have tried to include her in my weight loss and even tried to help her lose some weight herself but its just not going to happen

she wants no part of it. My husband is not on a weight loss journey with me so
literally its just me. He tells me sometimes im shrinking and losing weight and
that's nice to hear just wish my parents could be that way. It just makes me
sad that they will never be supportive in something that is so important to me.
It really makes me think sometimes what am i even losing weight for?

I know i shouldn't second guess myself because i have come such a long way
in this journey and have worked so hard to get here. I have never lost this much
weight before because usually i would give up after a month into it. This journey
i have been on has been for 8 months and im so proud of that and the fact i have
not givin up. I'm not looking for someone to hold my hand while being on this
journey but i would think some support from my mom who i am very close to
would be nice. Am i wrong?

I just wanted to say what was on my mind tonight

goodnight
