Operation Fatty: March Weigh In

OFMarch

I knew this last month would be hard because of spring break but we also did a lot of eating for some reason.  Despite that, I think I did well. I noticed that I had more mental issues this time around.  I found it harder to get ready to leave to town for my workouts [...]

People that Inspire My Weight Loss

2009before2010after

You know how you see those commercials with the before & afters and while they look great, I don’t know who those people are so it means a little less to me. For me, I need to changes like that from real people that I know, have hugged, and can talk to any time of [...]

Operation Fatty: One Month, Measurements Update

It’s been exactly one month since I’ve been going hard at Anytime Fitness and hiring Sarah as my personal trainer.    It was a month that I thought would be easier with a trainer and while I find it much more motivating to have a trainer, it definitely isn’t easy. Everything about the workout is [...]

This week marks the 1 month anniversary that I’ve been working out with my trainer at Anytime Fitness.  While I haven’t lost tons of weight, I have gained muscle, strength, and confidence.  We take measurements in  a few days and I know I’ve lost 8 pounds but I’m really impressed with several changes with my [...]

Mental and Physical Accountability

Me, breathing during the Pow Wow

Oh man, talk about feeling like a train going 100 mph!  I never expected to be so busy OFFLINE as I am these days.  No complaints really because I like that actually. I like having a purpose and something to do for me and my family.   I’ve been feeling inspired lately by the people around [...]

Well it’s not wonder I got mistaken as pregnant all those times.  I mean, good gawd, I never realized just how fat I was until last night. I was browsing earlier videos I had done when I came across one of me on the treadmill.  Wow.  I was shocked just to see how big I [...]

Operation Fatty: Fail, Trying Again

thumbs-down-small

Fail, a word I know too well but I’m determined to not let it keep me down.  I want to be stronger but realize that I need additional support both mentally and physically. I noticed that when people were rooting each other (me) on, I was doing great!  I felt not so much obligated anymore [...]

Operation Fatty: Recommend a Treadmill and the REAL Me

I get a lot of people saying, “You don’t look like you weight that much!” but the sad fact is, I do.  Many times when I post pictures of myself, I cut just about every part of my body off that I can.  But you’re about to see just how big I am.  Did you [...]

Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer Kicks My Booty! Subway Rawks OVER

I have been trying really hard to work on my weight here lately.  I’ve cut out sodas a LOT and for those days that I can’t live without it, I bought the mini cans of soda.   You know, for a fix.  Yes, I truly am addicted to soda and have withdrawals and need fixes. So, [...]

Operation Fatty #3 Back to the Grind

Well, I said I was gonna start my weight loss journal back up and I am.  I’m weighing in a 190, with a goal of 140 but I’d take 150;) I’ll be using Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer, taking diet pills, and drinking my trusty Propel.  I think I can manage the 10 minutes for [...]
