Weekly Weigh In

Hey Hoes (Lol I say it and mean it with affection and people take it personal so let's stick to Loves lol) Loves!  

I owe you guys a weekly weigh in...No drum roll, no standing ovation no nothing needed. I am at 

161.0 meaning up .2 from last week!!!


I am 18 days away from the big 25, the big year of "healthy lifestyle", I would love to see 155 by then but I am slacking with lame excuses. For your entertainment (and for some ya'll will relate) some of my excuses this week have been:

• The weather, it's still not good enough for me to go visit a gym steady!
•  Let me have some french fries and ice cream sundae because I can't eat Rice or Drink Soda till Easter
•  I'm "sad" let me go eat!!!! 

What are some of ya'll excuses for this week's weigh in?

20 days left for Easter and I have stayed strong on all of my missions! Woot Woot Go Me!

On a side note due to  my funk, I have invested in a pair of American Eagle Utility Crop Pants to pair off with some pumps or casually wear them with some brown flip flops!

Inspired by Silquias Fashion

I've also received some cute blogger awards and I promise to dedicate a post to the friends that have passed along the cute awards as well participate and "pay it forward"

So there you have it, the good word for Monday!

Weekly Weigh In

Okay now here is something I can be proud of, actually I have two things to be proud of for this weekly weigh in


Drum roll pleaseeeeeeee

Ex Fatgurl has lost  lost 0.6 pounds since her last weigh-in! She's lost 5.8 pounds so far.So That is 37 pounds total from when I first started (which let me remind you guys, that has not been my heaviest, the heaviest number I can remember is 207)

I finally have reached my initial goal and instead of being all hype about it, I am nonchalant about it. I don't think it's hit me yet. Maybe when I reach 150 I'll be doing some cartwheels! I'll be skinny enough to actually do them lol.

Now for the second good news.

Let me introduce yall to ExFatMommy she recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl (my Goddaughter if I may add) The baby is about to be 3 months on April 6 and ExFatMommy began her journey on Feb 14th! Without getting to much into her business

Her first month (I had her wait a month for her 1st weigh in so she won't get too confident or too discourage) she lost 8 pounds. She was not happy! LOL she was aiming for the big numbers but I told her to slow her roll it will come

On this journey we all need support =]

We followed up with more intense work outs and cut starch out (it's also what she gave up for LENT) and checked in 2 weeks later. 2 weeks later being today. She lost -6 for these last two weeks making it a total of 14 pounds woot woot woot!

Congrats to ExFatMommy I'll be sure to keep ya'll updated and ya'll be sure to cheer her on!!!!

How much did ya'll lose?

Weekly Weigh In

I wasn't expecting a weight lost but I lost surpisngly!

I am down to 161.4 whoa, go me!

I also got a 30 day free at NYSC, I start tomorrow going yayy me

Lent Mission- So far so-so I ate rice by mistake on Sat and Sunday but realize I broke it this morning. I didn't even think about it. I am so hung over fb and making sure I don't log on that I forgot the food part to it.

Like I said changes are coming this way, so be very patience with me!

ExFatGurl 

Slow & Steady

Week 2 I took a little bit more serious, stayed consisted and didn't let EMOTIONS get to me, although I had some emotional days and still am on an emotional roller coaster I instead took it out on my wallet lol and not food!

Week 2- 1 pound lost! Meaning 14 pounds away from the goal!


Oh not to mention that Pookie is visiting aka TOM so I'll take the 1 pound lost over a gain!!!


- Off to Target to get the weekly food!!!

I am off this

Happy Valentine Day

Hey Lovers,

In the morning I'll wake up and do my weigh-in routine but....I know there won't be a lost. The entire week I did alright (which was good enough for a pound or two lost) however today all that went to WASTE!!!

I have mentioned this before and today was a reminder of it, I am an emotional eater (hi!). It's the friend that doesn't leave a bitter taste (unless that is your preference), the friend that no matter what or when it will answer your call, the friend that doesn't care and doesn't mind sharing your sorrow,it's the friend that is there thick or thin (literally).

Today it was clear that my troubles are deep and wounds haven't been healed or even touched.

Valentine day is meant to be this day to profess love to any type of relationship. Well today I am breaking up with my long time bestie Food and I am diving stronger then ever in the relationship with me, Melissa.N.Q aka Ex-Fatgirl.

Who or what do you run to when you feel the walls are closing in?

Food- I am sorry but I can't keep up with this un-healthy relationship...It's not you, It's ME!

As I have always said tomorrow is another day to make it better.

Happy Valentine Loves!

Update: This morning as I predicted no lost however there wasn't a gain either so LETS GET IT! This week doing it right and being consistent!

Getting Back Into Swing

166.6 is what I am weighing, about 3 pounds gain from when I stopped losing weight.

I am slowly getting back into the swing of it. I got my Special K Protein Shake, got my turkey and cheese sandwiches (I went with white bread this week, couldn't find the wheat bread I like) and been eating at home instead of eating out. Slowly weening off soda (again!) and drinking tons of h2o!

It's a bit hard....kind of reminds me of....


:click here: Especially how my mind is craving for everything right now.


Just cause you fuck up today, don't mean you can't do it right tomorrow!
Each day is a new day to make it better

Some Thoughts

....Again my thoughts all over and I am not really sure what is the point of this post or what one thought I want to focus on so I will write what comes from the heart so bear with me readers because I feel I owe it to the individuals that have personally hit me up to tell me that I gave them some new found hope in being able to ACCOMPLISH

I am at 161.8....Whoa is all I can say! I really did it I set out on April 24 to get to 160 and here I am one pound away and although I have added an additional 10 pounds just knowing that this number 160 which to me was impossible, so far away it's right there, RIGHT THERE I CAN TOUCH IT! But am I ready...I keep avoiding the things that I know will get me there...why I am not sure?!? I have slacked on the gym and ate things without putting anything into perspective...Healthy/not healthy....5 calories vs 500 calories and again I fight with myself everyday

This weekend I heard a lot of comments on my weight, I saw myself in pictures and didn't recognize myself and saw my clothes literally falling off me while I dreamed of this I also didn't except it happening...I wasn't ready but a part of me is asking why are you not ready?!?! I spent the entire summer busting my ASS to get my ass like this so why take to insult and not to pride. I don't know =/ I am sure I'll figure it out while I keep walking the answer will come to me.

But here I am, I finally made it to the bridge....and so close to cross it not sure if I will try to build another bridge and run the next one instead of walking it...or take my time building the next one and than walk at a fast pace...AY I DUNNO! and again it's something I will figue out!


On another note
I do want to say to anyone that doubted me, that thought this was a joke. That I was stupid for putting something so private out there....

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW

Monday Blues

I love that the new ticker updates on it's own and I don't necessarily have to come on and tell you how much I lost or gained!

Well I cheated and a week later got on the scale!!! ((Womp Womp))

I lost 1.4 pounds woot woot So I am 165.4 I actually lost two pounds exact but last night I over did it on the rice....OH WELLS!!!

However I got bigger fish to fry!?!?! What I want now is not a number, I want a flatter tummy and thats it!?! Yup that's all I want...My belly protrudes out and it looks like I am a skinny girl who is 3 months prego...Okay maybe not quite a "skinny girl" but you know the belly looks out of place...

So now what do I do? Help !?!?! Good Ol Sit ups? No carbs? What do I do? Ugh Why must this always be so complicated

It's Monday and if you couldn't tell I am in a crappy mood so BAHUMBA TO YOU!

;)

Later kiddies
Ex Fat Girl

Umm Who is That....

Yes thats you!?!?! Dummy....No it can't be.....YESSSSS

So as I was trying to keep my spandex up (yes quality spandex, not the five dollar cheap ones! Q U A L I T Y ) I realize the medium isn't quite my size...but hold up I can not, I mean I can not be fitting into a small...or can I? So whats the deal why do I feel like I am literally swimming in my clothes now....I mean granted I am not the smallest size but I was comfortable with my size 12 and now I am not sure if I am already at 11 or maybe an in between 12 and 11 cause seriously what is up with my saggy jeans in the knees? How cute is that....NOT!!!!

I woke up this morning telling my friend how I need to reach my goal of being at 150 and how no matter what the purpose is to reach a goal; to complete it and to not half ass it... Feel me?!?! BUTTTT than I want to the bathroom and saw myself in two, not one but two full length mirrors and I was like umm I feel like ,I look like I might need a piece of chicken how will I look at at 150? Is 150 what I really want....

I asked/told myself: Melissa what exactly do you want? Now is the time to reevulate goals because maybe you have gotten to where you need to be and a number isn't quite what you need to define the accomplishment of that goal...I dunno I am just a thought

So thats the question for the weekend...Do I keep pushing to get to that number goal....Do I change it up maybe get to 160 maintain and work out my body to a shape I want (example: flat stomach, toner legs, etc etc) or do I go to as far as I can? I mean I don't know! I never gotten this far in any diet so I am not sure how this would work or not! When i do figure it out I'll be sure to share with you my .5 readers :crickets crickets:


Oh and I hopped on the scale: I KNOWWWW AFTER ALL THAT CRAP ABOUT GIVING IT A BREAK AND NOT DRIVING MYSELF CRAZY....well I got on it...and the number the number is the same exact damn number!!!

After busting my ass going to the gym twice a day and yoga I haven't lost anything!!!

But I am not all that angry I feel and see myself in the skinnest light I have ever seen my self....so it is what it is!

Have a great one friends...I will be enjoying time celebrating my little niecy lucky 7 cumpleanooooooo....OH YES

Another Week Another Weigh in

So this week I am down 1.8 pounds!

Go me go me go me :does a little dance:

closer to my goal than ever!



Riding this bitch till the wheels fall out =]

Down 1.4

I spent most of August battling it out in hopes to get passed 165 which was the lowest number I saw on my scale. I jumped from 165 to 168 gaining and than losing again. I am not going to lie it was beyond frustrating to know that a couple of months back the weight was coming off so easily and that now I needed to change it around whatever that meant, I know I had to switch it up. I kinda knew I would have to do something differently but put it for tomorrow (again excuses) I stopped with the weekend runs (cuz damn it, it was so hot and sleeping in felt so good) I stopped going to the gym averaging out only once a week (when I was going out 4 times a week) and ate out one too many times!!!!

I started Operations Do It For The Haters because I needed to drop the last 15 pounds and also because I want to drop inches off my waist. Originally it was called Operation 24 because that's what I would ideally love my waist to be while still keeping my curves and thickness yet I got some "on the low" hater comments that really made me say "do it for them"

My trainer meets with me 3 times a week and every work out we work out something different he also gave me a meal plan that included high protein foods, fiber, good fats,and greens! At first it was hard to follow but slowly and surely I got in the groove of it and I am on Day 2 without adding anything extra as I usually do to diets!

Waking up to 164 :sigh; the lowest number I can ever remember makes me feel so good!!! Reminding me that there is nothing I can't do!!!! So I guess adding a trainer and upping my cardio is the change I needed!

My fall goal is to be at 150 by November 26, if you remember I wanted to be at 160 by November 26 but my goals changed a bit over the last few months

And so I am here hoping these changes keep the weight coming off slowly =]

I never offer advice and maybe I should lol so here is my tiny piece of advice:whenever you feel like "ahead" is to far look behind you!

-Ex Fat Girl

Down .8 Ounces

Still stuck in this limbo of 165 and 166 can't wait till I break threw!!!

and some words for motivation:

P.S I LOVE ME BEFORE I LOVE YOU

Operations: DO IT FOR THE HATERS

Yes sir, that is right OPERATIONS DO IT FOR THE HATERS!!!!


If you can't tell, I am very excited to be embarking on a new challenge, a new goal, a new and improved ME!!!!!

I start working out with a trainer and hope to lose the last 16 pounds as well as get the perfect curved body! OH YES BEYONCE I AM COMING FOR YOU!!! ;)....On another note I named this Operation: Do It For the Haters because people's response to my plans were all out of wack! I wasn't looking for can I do this? or even an opinion? I guess I was talking to talk, share my goals. You know I will figure out while on my path what is achievable, what looks nice, what is crazy, and adjust as I need to but I NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT ON MY OWN!!! Not have people tell me all this crazy nonsense (I rolled my eyes at a lot of my close friends for that one)! I hate when people tell me that is impossiable or not do able...it just amps me up to do it just to do it! Someone shoulda told me long ago I couldn't lose weight I woulda dropped pounds so quick!!! (it's the stubborn Taurus in me that wants to prove the world wrong)

OH AND P.S And I am not saying my friends are hating but they sure did sound like a bunch of heckling roosters ;)

So here it is DAY ONE OPERATION DO IT FOR THE HATERS

- Current Weight- 166.8
- Chest- 36
- Waist- 33 (I want a second opinion I feel like it might be bigger so this might get adjusted [First time I got 32])
- Hips - 41 (Same as above [first time I got 42])

Will be weighing in every Tuesday and Measuring once a month! Doubling up on my work out starting next week once I am able to see how the trainer works out and how it leaves my body!

- Ya'll do a double take next time yall see me

Break

Howdy Kiddies!

And so I am on my well deserved vacation (1 week off from work)!!! And it has been great thus far!!!! I am still on a cloud and have created a bubble that I don't want anyone to even to attempt to POP!

Anyways while I have been on this vacation or staycation if you want to call it that ;), I haven't gained nor lost but I can tell you that I haven't exercised, haven't really kept track of my calories, and just put dieting, healthy, exercises, and all that to the back of my mind! I needed a mental break where I can just chill and breath and it has been lovely to just enjoy my new body and this new cloud of confidence that sits above me!!!!

Tomorrow I am back on the grind ready to push these last 15 pounds and get my belly flat!!!!


This is short and cute just wanted to share with yall a little update on what is going on~~

No Reason to Stop Now!

Have no fear Ex- Fat Girl is here with plenty to share!!!

First I owe you guys a weekly check in....Drum roll please :drum roll sounds: (you know I love sound effects)

Ex fat girl has lost: lost 0.8 pounds since her last weigh-in! She's lost 30.2 pounds so far
:crowd goes nuts: what!?! Unbelievable 30.2 pounds in less than 4 months! Amazing if I say so myself!!!! ( @ 166.0) [Well note when I logged in my weight yesterday I was 166.8 and this morning I was at 166.0 I just didn't log it in but I feel like I can officially say 166 is my number]

But there is always a but

A lot came to mind when I saw this never before seen number on the scale....I am doing it! Whoa, I actually set a goal and I am keeping it while not killing myself...WHOAAAAAAA I actually feel the difference now it's very real!

I am also terrified I guess, I am not sure how to explain it...But this is the new me! Right?! So when the initial shock of friends seeing that I am doing it goes away and this all settles down HOW WILL I KEEP IT OFF? Will I forever have to log in my foods? (Not that this is a big task in itself but you know the feeling of FOREVER is kinda scary for anything), Will my hair forever be a hot mess because I can't actually go to the salon because whats the point I will just sweat it out and who wants to waste all that money for something that will get mess up tomorrow!!!! I mean I dunno with a new body came a new Me....and I am not even sure if I expected that or am ready for her....and regardless of anything she's coming she isn't stopping for no one!

I guess I could stop at this point and still feel I look good (cause I freaking do), but I really want to get my BMI to a healthy range and not over weight, I also want to like my side view I'll show you some pics in a few of what I mean, and I also want to prove to the fat girl that I can do it so to 150 I am well on my way!

Pictures to come!

Sunday Check In

Yo Yo Yo,

No lost No gain, well actually I did gain a pound exact (168.6).

But It's not really a gain see...the night before I had a heavy feast on PASTA! It was yummy but I am sure that had something to do with my number on the scale...


Going hard this week and I feel like 165 will be here in no time!!!

Oh and by the way, I am going for the 150 mark :)

Let's get it
