It's Monday, yet again, and time for us Has Been Fat Girls to measure in, and let the world know what's going on with our ever changing bodies. I will let each girl leave their own comment in the section below on how they feel they're doing, what they think they're weakness/strengths are, if they're on target to hit their goals, and what they're looking to accomplish this week :) I'm short one girl right now, but as soon as I have her image I will edit this and add it!!
And introducing Miss Alexis ...
Alexis and I have been friends for a long time, and when she told me she wanted to join us I was thrilled :) She's a super crafty, fellow "tog", who is one of the greatest people I know :) I will let her comment and tell us what her goals are ... although I'm sure by looking at her you can see she's into the "Toning to be a hottie" phase :)
WELCOME ALEXIS!!!

WELCOME ALEXIS!!!
So Im down 6.6lbs this week. I know a majority of that must be water weight, but at this point who the hell cares. I did really well with eating the right foods and keeping my calories between 12-1500 calories depending on which eating day I was on. I struggled like a beeotch on the weekend. They are always my nemesis. I definitely ate more than I should have, and not always the best foods, but all in all it was a world of difference from even last weekend. My goal for this week is to have a "5" as my middle number :)
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooo ...
ReplyDeleteThis week/weekend was tough in the area of keeping to my meal plan. I was so busy both Saturday and Sunday that I just could not keep up. I missed meals on Saturday, and traveled A LOT, and got home super late ... so it wasn't a win/win day for me health wise.
Sunday was stressful because I was doing a presentation, and we were out in full blazing afternoon sun, and I missed two meals ... then overate a bit at dinner. So, yet again, I was off my normal schedule.
I'm by no means making excuses, or saying that my days weren't fun filled, I'm just recapping my dieting woes/issues. I am STUCK at 25 pounds lost, but my BMI keeps creeping down and some of my clothes (esp. my pants) are getting a bit ridiculous looking, so I'm thinking that I'm gaining muscle from doing so much walking/aerobics/etc... but I'm still losing inches. Not what I wanted, but for now it's all good :)
also, my new goal is to look like Alexis!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ladies!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are amazing and I really am hoping I can get my motivation to kick in after following you guys.
Well, I didn't do as much in the exercise area as I should have, I've slacked! I am down 1 pound. I agree with Meg the weekends are soo hard to be good on!! We did go on 2 mile walks both days but I ate enough it should have been 5.. Tonight I plan on taking my measurements and adding them to my comments! Thanks girls and Tina for sharing your glory with us!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, please excuse my lack of matching clothes....
ReplyDeleteAnywho, I'm down 3 pounds this week. Been getting up each day and doing some cardio, except for twice a week when I do my yoga. I've been either walking/jogging a mile in the evenings. We live in a trailer and it's exactly 26 laps around to make a mile. It's been working out pretty well, except for the day I fell in the hole in our front yard and wacked my head on a flower pot. :)
The weekend is my enemy. It tries to suck me in with its promises of sugary goodness. But so far I'm keeping it back. :) I'm really trying to focus on getting my eating habits down so that I can stick with a good routine. Oh, and Meg- I totally want to look like Alexis too!
Welcome Alexis! :)
ReplyDeleteThis week, I've been doing really well eating right around 1500 calories and eating the right kinds of food. Yesterday, I went to the gym for the first time and absolutely fell in love with Planet Fitness! I'm going to try to go back tonight after I put my son to bed. My scale at work (as of Saturday morning) said I was down 4 pounds but my scale at home (which I will be using from now on) says that I am down 3 pounds. Which still isn't too bad. I think I'm right on track and I'm loving it!
Thanks for the warm welcome. Just a quick intro since it's feeding the savages time. I am a 34 year old mother of 4 (16, 14, 4 & 2) and wife to a great man for almost 4 years. I have been struggling with my weight for many years and especially more now than ever. I am currently stuck at 164lbs and in a size 11 (very snug) I am really wanting to get toned and finally see abs instead of flab.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to be in a size 9 but I am really wanting that size 7 by the time summer rolls around. I think that my size 9 goal is reachable however the 7 seems to be a bit unrealistic. Anyhow I wish all the best to each of you in your trek to a healthier, happier, sexier lifestyle.
So this past week....
ReplyDeleteIts actually been rather good..
Aside from my asthma kicking my ass its been good.The asthma has made the weeks workouts a little rough but I've pushed through.
I dont do the weighing thing but once a month as well as my measurements because its really easy to get obsessed with it.So Instead my personal trainer is going to do that on the 20th or 21st & then my new pictures..
I can tell I'm getting more flexible and my body is starting to change.
Im seeing more muscle coming on and my shape changing especially in my shoulders and chest area...
I work out 3 times a week with a trainer then jesse and I normally walk everynight although that has stopped since Ive been so busy..
But I will be picking that up again soon!
Ok thats me update..keep up the awesome work ladies!!
