I brought the BodyBugg it is a little monitor you wear on your arm and it counts how many calories you burn a day and how many steps you take in a day. It is a great little monitor. On the website you can also log in what you eat and track calories. Yesterday I ended up burning 2861 calories and I ate 1500 my total burn for the day 2408 calories I also ended up taking 12k in steps. I really love love being able to track all my calories/food it helps me stay in check and keeps me from cheating.
I weighed myself this morning and YEAAAA finally 244.8, it is still a high number but really so glad to be seeing that number and not 246 anymore. I have hope on losing that 15lbs before Tarik's first birthday. I just really want to be 200lbs before my 29th birthday in August and I just cant give up even if my body is fighting me on it.
My pant size is between a 18 and 16 which is much better than that 28 I use to wear, my shirts are a XL or a Large. This morning I was standing in front of the mirror and I was sucking in and lifting my chest and I could see RIB BONES, talk about shocked I thought I didn't have any. Well it has been along ass time since I last seem. I also found my collar bones, wrist bones and when I lay down on my side my side bones. It is the small things that make me happy now. I can run up the stairs in my townhouse and not get tired or out of breath anymore, well that really stopped awhile go. But when we first moved here going up and down the stairs were a killer on my knee's and on me just period. It doesn't you fully until after you past that point and look back and think WOOW I have came a long way.
Hell I have lost 85lbs in 11 months now. Seeing how all my clothes go from too tight to falling off is great. My husband is complains I don't have any clothes and I tell him, I don't want to get comfortable in a size 18 and stop losing weight, I want to buy that size 16 or 14 stuff my fat ass in them and work my butt off to get them lose and falling off then I want to buy those 12s and do the same. I have a process if i get comfortable with the size I am I will stop losing weight and stay were I am. That is not happening.
