I DID IT!!!!!! Whooo hooo!!!
I did it!!!! Not only did I lose the 3lbs that I had gained, I lost another one of top of that! I’m soooo excited! Yesterday was a really good day for me, not only did I have a great weigh in (and lost 6 inches!) I also got my baby fixed!!! No more treadmill withdrawal for me! I went 3 days with out it and I missed it more than I ever thought I would! So my friend came over to help me fix it and while we were playing with it, I decided that I wanted to learn more about the incline (it has a manual incline) well I read the book (I should have done that a long time ago lol!) and learned how to adjust it. So after it was all fixed I decided to get on and do my work out, and it was much easier than it was before. I checked out the incline and I realised that I have been working out on an incline this whole time hahaha! I was working harder than I thought! Whooo hoo!
Why do people suggest rewards of crappy food when you loss weight? After my friend and I were done working on my treadmill he suggested going out for pizza, I said I couldn’t (thank you Angel for making that deal with me!!! I wouldn’t have any will power to say no with out it!) And he said, “come on you lost 4lbs you can have a piece of pizza, it won’t hurt.” I said to him… that’s like telling an acholic that “Hey, you’ve been sober for 30 days, let’s celebrate by having a drink” haha! That sure shut him up! So I’m really proud of my self, not only did I turn down the temptation, but I made it even better by spending the time I could have been eating junk food with him, on my treadmill! Go me!
So I was reading a friends blog yesterday and I saw that she lost over 10% of her starting body weight (Go Stacey!) And I was curious to see what I had lost, I found this site that tells you how to figure out your percentage and I’ve lost 15.71% HOLY CRAP that made me feel good looking at it! If you want to figure yours out all you have to do is…
Divide number of pounds lost by the starting weight
Multiply the answer to step 1 by 100
Example: 44 /280 x 100 = 15.7143%
p.s. I got my red star back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Congratulations!! Not just on the lost weight and inches, but on the very big deal of not celebrating the loss with food!!
“Hey, you’ve been sober for 30 days, let’s celebrate by having a drink”
This is sooo true! Man, I wish I had your self control. I am very proud of you! You have now had 2 opportunities to eat pizza, and refused both temptations.
Not to mention that instead of eating pizza, what do you do? Exercise?!?! WOW - you inspire me girl, way to go!
PS - congrats on the 16% weight loss!
That is great! Way to go refusing that celebratory piece of pizza! Keep up the good work!
Yay for losing those pounds and getting the treadmill fixed!!! An incline really does make a difference. Great job on opting out on the pizza as well, I don’t know if I coulda done that lol.
Just figured out I lost 14.9% of my starting weight, what an eye opener thanks!
Shawna - I am sooooo proud of you! Pizza is so hard to resist for me too - but you did it! And you made that guy think twice about tempting you again…you go girl!! What a way to celebrate a long meaningful celebratory walk with your buddy the treadmill!
YEAH SHAWNA!!!
Awesome job, Lady!
Great job! The most important part is to not give up even if u gain and u did it! U worked it through! Congrats! Going through it, and also winning with temptation of pizza is a great victory
You are awesome!!! Not only losing 4 lbs, but resisting pizza!?! Congrats on your loss!
That attitude is so common: “C’mon, it won’t hurt.” One bite/piece/slice won’t hurt is the attitude that led me to need to lose 70 pounds in the first place, so yes, it will hurt! Good for you for resisting and making good choices.
Thank you everyone!!!!
You’re guys support helps sooo much!!!
Hey I lost 11%! Cool, thanks!
I say the same thing to people when they offer me candy or something.
Your* haha
I am so proud of you!!! You have really been working hard, and it’s so great to see it pay off. 4 pounds and 6 inches in 1 WEEK!!! Yippeeee!!!!
Glad to hear your baby is fixed, too. I know you were missing it. 
WOW!!! Way to go girly!!
I like the analogy…pizza…booze…LOL! You Rock hun
