Profile

About Me:: I am here to share my journey about breaking free from the excess weight that keeps me from enjoying my life I've been so blessed with. I know there will be struggles, and I know there will be joys, but most of all I know I am worth it to become a better me!

I am a stay at home mom of two blue eyed blessings, my 2 year old daughter, and 9 month old son. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 4 1/2 years. After gaining 120 pounds over the last 7 years (yikes!) and 2 kids later, I finally decided it was time to get ME back!

Plan of Choice:: Weight Watchers

Website/Blog:: http://wwbeliever.blogspot.com

Workout Philiosophy:: I stay active doing everyday activities, I only exercise because I have to

It all started with a plate of nachos...

...and from there, you don't want to know! I'm finally back! From where, you ask? No, I wasn't on vacation (I wish), I have just been a horrible blogger lately and haven't come by to check in on everybody or even to keep myself "in check". I could give you a list of excuses, but let's just say it's time to get caught up. Today marks the day of 20 weeks that I have been "on plan" during this weight loss journey, and how do I celebrate? With my FIRST gain! Yes, my FIRST. This last week has been… Continue

slowing down a bit, but I know why

Well, my friends, I am still here, I just haven't been here, so I apologize for that. These last couple of weeks the scale has shown a smaller loss each weigh in day, and I think that has to do largely in part with the fact that my weekends are looking a little like my "old ways"...a little splurge here, a little splurge there, and then I'm busting my rear end during the week to make up for any weight gain that may have happened in those 2-3 days of indulgence. But, hey, it's a loss and I… Continue

Free-for-all Friday (and then some)

Last weekend we traveled up to Washington state to visit my sister's family just south of Tacoma. I had weighed in Friday morning just shy of saying goodbye to the 240s, which meant I lost another 2.8 pounds...holy smokes! Well, I took that weight loss and ran with it. The day started out well with grabbing a couple of my lowfat blueberry bran muffins and making a smoothie to go, but then we grabbed lunch on the way. Burger King. I opted for the usual Whopper Jr. no mayo, but it was the fries...… Continue

I found the courage...

...to post my "before" and "during" picture for all to see! (Thanks to some encouragement from a fellow blogger...thanks, Kristina!) I hate the way I look in my before picture, but having this blog is all about being honest with ourselves and even though I feel like I looked horrible, this is truth and sometimes the truth hurts. The only redeeming part is that I have another picture to share that shows all my hard work and determination of shedding 40 pounds. I have so much more to go, but now t… Continue

What a surprise!

My weigh in this morning showed that I lost 2.2 pounds this week! The reason that I'm so surprised about this loss is because I did my little "experiment" this week and ate a lot more of my flex points and didn't count my daily points as religously as I have for the last 3 months. I even splurged last night and had a couple slices of pizza! So, I wasn't expecting this loss, but no complaints coming from me! I hit my 40 pound mark and have now lost 41.4 pounds in 15 weeks! Last night I got toget… Continue

We're gonna do it, I've felt all along that this is MY time to complete my weight loss journey. And that mindset is what will take us there :-)

At 11:29pm on August 15th, 2008, Kristina said…: Hi! Thanks for your message! Yes...I'm ready, lets do this! Just think of all of the new clothes we will have to ask for from Santa this Christmas :)

At 12:21am on July 24th, 2008, Alison said…: Funny, I have spoken with several teachers who have said if they weren't teachers they would be nurses. It must be part of the desire to play a positive role in someone else's life. I always wanted to be a nurse, but never had the confidence to try (I was never strong in mathematics) but now that I have a little perspective on life, I have decided I am just gonna do it! You only live once. And, I was really motivated by the awesome nurses in the hospitals where I had my babies, too. I would love to do an antepartum unit, or a L&D unit, or pediatrics. I am a little scared of the peds though because I think it would be hard for me, as I have my own at home and I would probably cry with the parents over their ill children. sad. We will see,though, I am excited! Thanks for the encouragement! :)

At 9:47am on July 23rd, 2008, EB said…: I am! Sorry it's been so long!! But...I have big news! I'm having a baby, so I have to put the WW on hold for a bit. But I'll still be around, as I want to maintain a healthy diet throughout the pregnancy. Thanks so much for checking on me :)

At 1:27pm on July 21st, 2008, Molly said…: Hi Heidi, thanks for the comment. I have been missing for a while, two vacations and no weight lost has left me discouraged and feeling like I will just always have to be heavy. I cannot seem to get myself up off the ground. I am glad to see that you're doing well, keep in touch... Molly

At 10:20am on July 15th, 2008, Alison said…: Hope you're having a great day! I just noticed your pics, I can't wait to see them! I am sure there is a huge difference after all this weight loss :) I hope to post some pics too, I rarely wear makeup or do my hair so I am waiting for a time when I am "dressed up" lol! To answer your question, I am going back to school (I was a teacher before I had my little ones) for nursing! It is a goal I have had for a long time, and I decided I am going to do it ;-) I have prerequisites to do before I can apply, I am hoping to be done when my youngest is in 1st or 2nd grade. I am taking my time ;-) We'll see how long my break is after this class is finished in October, I might take a year off lol ;-) It is really hard to do school with little kids. Hope you have a great day! :)
