What a wonderful day! Today was the day that I found out from Meg at work (Nashua Eye Associates) that I WON THE WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE!!! So in 2 months/ 8 weeks I lost 7 lbs, from 140.5 lbs to 133 lbs which is 7.5 lbs lost total! Love it
Plus I did a good thing tonight. It was just before midnight and I wanted to have some hot chocolate and then decided no!

Measurements from Saturday November 16 2013 with Gail (personal trainer)
Here are my measurements when Gail did them on Saturday November 16 2013
I told her that my weight was 132 lbs and she put down my age as 42 even though I am really 41...I will be 42 in one month
CHEST: 33"
RIGHT ARM/BICEP: 10"
WAIST: 28"
HIPS: 43"
RIGHT THIGH: 23.5"
WAIST TO HIP RATIO: .65 (LOWER THAN .75 IS GOOD)
BLOOD PRESSURE:
104/69 (want to be no higher than 120/80) so that is good
BODY COMPOSITION
Body Fat: 25.5 % (25.6% is considered "good") so this tells me that the weight watchers scale that I bought is accurate.
RESTING HEART RATE
RHR: 49 (this low number means youhave a heart that is exercised, most are in the 70s I think is what she said)
MY OTHER STATS:
SEX: FEMALE
CURRENT WEIGHT: 132 LBS
HEIGHT 64 INCHES (TOLD HER I WAS 5'3 AND 3/4 AND SHE ROUNDED UP TO 5'4)
EXERCISE FREQUENCY: 4 OF 5
EXERCISE INTENSITY: 3 OF 5
EXERCISE TIME: 4 OF 4
BODY FAT: 25.5%
FAT WEIGHT: 34 LBS
LEAN (FAT-FREE) WEIGHT: 98 LBS
TOTAL BODY WATER: 33.85 LITERS OR 56.4%
SO ALL THIS INFO TELLS ME THAT THE INFO ON THE WEIGH WATCHERS SCALE THAT I USE IS PRETTY ACCURATE. SO THAT IS PRETTY GOOD RIGHT?
ANOTHER THING...HERE IS WHAT I WAS WEARING WHEN SHE DID THE MEASUREMENTS:
MY PINK/BLACK YOGA PANTS, PINK/WHITE STRIPED SPORTS BRA, SLIGHT BLUE SHORT SLEEVED SHIRT AND THEN SOCKS AND BLACK SNEAKERS. I THINK I ONLY HAD THE SNEAKERS ON FOR THE EXERCISES OR SO..BUT NOT FOR THE STEP UPS ON THE WOODEN CHAIR/STEP
BUT THE WEIGHT I GAVE HER WAS WHEN I WEIGHED MYSELF THAT MORNING AT 131.6 ON NEW SCALE. I JUST ROUNDED UP.

GOALS for today and this week...
GOALS:
My goals for this week November 17 throughout November 23 2013
Now remember November 23 2012 I weighed 150 lbs. So I am hoping that on November 23 2013 I will weigh in at 130 lbs maybe. But even if I am still 132 lbs (old scale) then it will be fine. That is still 18 pounds down!
Goals:
Eat 2 servings for fruits a day.
Don't eat after 7pm at night.
Change up cardio workout: try bike at gym and also do the arc climber and also maybe I can try the elliptical if I feel motivated.
I want to get down to 125 pounds to 128 pounds before I start any weight training/ strength training. As I know that I will probably gain a pound or two from it and I would rather go up from those two weights than up for where I am or even 130 lbs. I would like to be toned and trim at 130lbs or even 132 lbs but not 135 lbs or higher.
I think once I get down to 128 or 125 lbs and I am there for a month or so then I think that I will feel comfortable working on strength training you know.

On Friday November 15 2013
I went to my mom's to pick up some size 10 jeans and brought them home and they fit! I had bought a pair of size 10 skinny jeans a week or two ago and they fit really good. I actually fit in size 9 of another pair of jeans but they fit and I could get them on but they were a little tight.
it is such a great feeling when you can fit into jeans.
the size 10 jeans that I got from my mom's... Those jeans I hadn't been able to fit into them since 8 or so years ago. I remember at some point that I couldn't get them past my thighs and now I can wear them! They are tight but it is not about wearing them in public it is all about me and how I feel.
What an amazing feeling!

I met with the personal trainer, Gail M. today.
She did my assessment and measurements today. Saturday November 16 2013
I weighed in this morning
131.6 lbs// 131.6 lbs
6:45am
body fat: 26.1// 25.5
water: 54.1// 54.5
BMI: 22.4//22.4
old scale: 131 lbs 5x
Measurements with Gail
Chest: 33 inches
Right Arm (bicep): 10 inches (only does one arm)
Waist: 28 inches
Hips: 43 inches
Right Thigh: 23.5 inches (upper thigh, highest it can go is where she did it)
Waist to Hip Ratio: .65 (lower than .75 is average for my age group)
Blood Pressure: 104/69
Body Fat: 25.5 %
Total Body Water: 56.4% (33.85 liters)
Resting Heart Rate (RHR): 49
Fat Weight: 34 lbs
Lean (fat-free) weight: 98 lbs
It was a very good day! Can you believe that I am down about 18 lbs..yahoo!
I told Gail that I will go to to gym on sunday and talk to trainer there to have them show me the machines so that I can use them when I go there. another thing, I also told Gail that I will start doing strength training. but I will gain some pounds when I do that as I read that in an article.
So, what I am thinking is this...that I will maybe keep doing what I have been doing as it seems to be working for me and I am thinking that I will wait until I can get down to 125 lbs if I can or even 128 lbs or something similar to that.
I read an ariticle that Gail gave me about how this woman incorporated strength training and weights into her workout, but her clothes fit but the scale went up a few pounds.
AND Gail did tell me that she wished that I didn't weigh myself everyday. I told her why I did it but she wants me to feel the weightloss difference with my clothes and not the scale because once you do the weights and strength training then you will be dropping inches and it will be a bigger change.
I mean I do plan on upping my cardio intensity. Gail suggested that I use the bike at the gym and recumbent bike if they have one. And arc climber still and I might try elipitical if it works for me. also, suggested intervals. (go fast, go slow, go fast, go slow, etc)
Want to eat more fruits and veggies. If I could eat 2 fruits a day and try to eat more veggies too.
I think I will take baby steps you know.
I want to go to the gym and try the bike and or arc climber and
when stretching hold the stretch for 20 seconds.

Sunday November 10 2013
131.6 lbs new scale
130 lbs 2x
131 lbs 2x old
Got my size 10 skinny jeans at Walmart hooksett nh on Saturday November 9 2013... Love that they fit. I even fit into no boundaries size 9 jeans!! Love it!!!!
Saturday, November 9, 2013
Saturday November 9 2013 Was a great day for me! When I tried on my size 12 medium jeans at home I was able to pull them down past my bum with the jeans still buttoned and zipped and that is a great feeling!
So I wanted to try on a smaller pair and not so much buy them. So Richard and I went to Walmart Hooksett on Saturday November 9 2013 and I tried on a pair of no boundaries size 9 and size 11 jeans. the size 11 jeans fit really good and were comfy but tight around the upper thigh area which I think is how it is supposed to be. the size 9 jeans did fit, I got them buttoned and zipped up but they were too tight and not comfy ha ha... but the fact that I got into a size 9 is just amazing for me.
When I weighed in today... or should I say on Saturday November 9 2013 I was 133 lbs 4x at 9:08am with the old scale/ n/c before everything and then with the
new scale around 9:15am or so I was 132.9 lbs..and I was just 133.8 lbs last week.
on Saturday November 2 2013 I weighed in at 133.8 lbs
on Saturday November 9 2013 I weighed in at 132.9 lbs
which means that I went down just about 1 lb or 0.9 lbs
also, I had Cassie and Richard help me measure myself and with no shoes or socks or slippers on I measured at 5 feet 3 inches and 3/4 which is what they got at doctors two weeks ago when I went there but it was with sneakers on and they didn't put it far enough down so I do believe that is an accurate weight you know and Richard believes it too as he feels that doctors do a bad job of that. I don't think they did that time though.
But I am so thrilled that you now....the weight is going down I am just loving it! and
about the jeans. what I ended up doing. I wanted to try on a pair or two of skinny jean because they had them at Walmart. so I tried on a pair of size 12 and a pair of size 10. I tried the 12 on first and it fit but was little loose and so then I took them off and put the size 10 on and that fit too and then I was able to slide them down while still buttoned and zipped but they were so comfy that I just decided to get them. and hten I wore them with my high boots and had C and R look and they both said that the jeans looked good on me. Loving it!
will try to post pics later

Today is Saturday October 20 2013
I weighed in at 135.1 on new scale and 135 on old scale.
I didn't eat the greatest. I had egg and cheese wake up wrap with small hot chocolate in medium cup for breakfast. Then we went to Fitchburg State University for open house. Great day! I had two slices of mushroom pizza , very yummy, small slices, and then I had a salad from salad bar with ranch dressing and then when we got home Jess had made brownies with Halloween decorations in it, sprinkles of brown/black and orange and white. I had too many of them.
then we went to Dave's for cards, cribbage and I had some cheese curls and wine cooler...170 cals for the winecooler. I didn't bring any of mine, Becky & Dave had bought some for me maybe. so that was cool.
I weighed myself at Dave & Becky's with all clothes on and jacket and my boots and I was 141 lbs and Kyla was 47 lbs
I had wanted to go to gym today but no time and I am exhausted and it is 11pm.

Weighed in at 135 pounds today! And Got some great feedback from coworkers! Great Day!
Weighed in today 135.1 lbs on new scale. 135 lbs on old scale.
At work today. I was in the kitchen and Trudy and Erin came in there and Trudy comes up to me and just says "I have to ask. How much weight did you lose?" and I told her "Fifteen" and she said " you can tell" and mentioned my bum/butt is getting smaller and that you can really tell. She's funny.And Erin was there and she agreed that I looked like I lost a lot of weight. When I said I lost "15" she thought I said "50" ha! But then Erin asked how I did it. And I told her counting calories, working out, cutting out soda, candy, ice cream, junk food. Erin was the one that asked me if I go to the gym a lot. I ran into Erin more than once today and we talked about this more than once. Erin said that when she sees me walking down the hall (we are at a distance from each other) she says she can really notice how much weight I have lost. It was very inspirational and motivational and another reason that I pushed myself to go to the gym tonight.
I got my new blue heart rate monitor today in the mail today! I love it. It didn't work as well as I would have liked when I first started using it tonight at the gym, but after playing with it and turning on and off I finally got it to work for a little bit.
I did 2.16 miles on treadmill in 38 minutes, but the HRM only worked for 32:02 minutes
HRM info:
219 cals burned in 32 minutes
average hr: 130
maximum hr: 149
IN Zone: 29:17 so that is pretty good
the info on machine:
2.16 miles on treadmill
38 min
146 cals burned
steps I started with on treadmill
10726 and I ended with steps on treadmill: 15327
that means I did 4601 steps on the treadmill. 2 miles

I have been doing well this week. Weighing in this week I have been 134.0 lbs on the new scale and 133-134 lbs on the old scale and I am just loving it.
I lost my ipod ugh! Sometime after my workout on Sunday. I cleaned the bedroom on Sunday evening and am thinking that might be when I misplaced it. I still want to take a good look in my car, but if I don't find it I will be really bummed and I can't find the first one that I bought. I have to look around for it so that I can maybe use that one.
On another note. I worked out Sunday October 13, Monday October 14 and Tuesday October 15 (am). I almost went to PF in Nashua near work at Nashua after work Tuesday (worked until 8), but I was just too tired. They were having a Biggest Loser premiere and I wanted to go in and check it out but I was just too tired.
So, I went to DD and got the egg and cheese wake up wrap and a small hot choc. I know I shouldn't have done that but I figured that was my dinner. so then, I just came home and then I still ate some food. yikes! But I think I burned at least 150 cals.
My new HRM should be here soon! I can't wait. I have had my orange one for 5 years if not longer. and I think it is time for a new one you know!
I would like to go to the gym at some point today. I am getting out early and hope that after pictures I will be able to get a workout in. I would like to try to go to the gym everyday this week if I can. Friday might be harder. but other than that. Thursday I should be able to go after work. and then definitely should be able to go on Sunday. and hopefully Saturday some time.
I need to STAY FOCUSED!
Pat (MD tech at work) suggested that I buy a pair of jeans or a dress or something that I would like to wear in a size smaller than what I am but some size that I plan on getting into that way it will be a motivation for me to lose more weight.
I have also wanted to put up a picture of someone I would like to look like who is toned and all that as a motivational thing as well.

Doing Good!
I did pretty good today. I ate under my calories for the day and when I was home. I got home around 8pm tonight and I was a little hungry. I wanted to eat something but knew that it was a bad idea. So, I ended up having two pieces of sugar free spearmint gum instead.
AND I must it was a great decision. I had less than 1200 calories today.
and I walked a little over 8000 steps today. think it could have been better you know/
When I weighed in today on my new scale I was 134.5lbs and for the old scale I was 132 3x and then 133 3x. So that is pretty cool I must say.

Pounds are going down!
I am very happy that the scale is going down. I weighed in this morning/ Sunday October 6, 2013 at 134 lbs around 7:50am on my old scale and on my new scale:
133.2 lbs// 25.8 body fat %// 54.3 water// 22.7 BMI
this was the first time,
then the second time and every time after that this is what I weighed in at and my other measurements:
134.5 lbs
26.3 body fat %
53.9 water
22.9 BMI
and this is what I was for like 3 times.
so I figure that my old scale is only off by half a pound and I think that is great!
I did weigh with clothes on today/ jeans and shirt and no socks and was 137 lbs on old scale so that is cool
Also, went to Supercuts today and had them do an all over color of a shade of chocolate brown and she told me that some areas might be lighter than others due to the colors in my hair from before. I told her that was fine.
then I bought some shampoo for the colored hair and she said to use this but any conditioner is good so I figure me and C can both use it as we both have colored/highlighted hair.
Based on my OLD scale I have lost I want to say from 150 lbs to 134 lbs means I am down 16 pounds. can you believe it! I love it!

Great Workout at PF!
Today was a good day for me. I weighed in on my old scale and it was 135 lbs. I loved it! Wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast today. I took a bite of oatmeal and wasn't feeling it, had a little bit of yogurt and that didn't do it for me either. had a few sips of my nestle hot choc and then dumped the rest of it out. Stopped at DD and got the egg and cheese wrap and small hot choc they put whipped cream in that I didn't ask for.
When I weighed myself this morning after shower when hair was wet it said 136.2 lbs I think. That was great. I ate pretty ok today except for dinner when I had 3 slices of large pepperoni pizza from Dominos. Each slice is 340 cals and 14 grams of fat yikes!
So, then I decided that I NEEDED to go to the gym tonight. So, I did 40 minutes on the treadmill and burned maybe 200 calories or so. HRM was not working. I wore it tonight first time in months. But I think it is time to buy a new one when I save some $$$. Then I did the arc trainer for 13 min and burned 110 cals. The HRM worked for this..wonder why.
Then, I did some knee exercises on those machines in the stretching room then some knee exercises and then I stretched and did the child's pose.
I am hoping that I burned enough cals to offset the intake of calories from the pizza I had for dinner tonight.
I worked last night/ Thursday October 3 2013 at night from 10-7pm and I weighed myself on the work scale the way I did it for the weigthloss challenge. and it was 137 lbs. So I lost 3.5 lbs since September 16 2013 on that scale! That is amazing I must say!
I just want to keep it going.
I would love to be able to get down to 130lbs or even 132-133 lbs by then end of the year. That would be such a HUGE accomplishment for me.
I have been doing good in the sense. That I have been eating pizza once a week. I have not been having any alcohol and I have stopped eating at McDonal'ds and other fast food joints. The only one I go to is DD and I only go there cuz I know the calories I am putting in my body.
I have told Richard before that if I don't know what the calories is for something he makes for dinner then I will not eat it. I have already done this before and he wasn't happy. but he doesn't understand that it is working for me. Counting calories is working for me. I track it in Loseit application and it is working for me.
I want to workout at least 30 minutes a day. And I am still using the pedometer for work walk across America challenge.
today I think I have something like: 15,615 steps and that is after my workout . pretty good! yay me!

A New Month... A New Beginning!
I didn't have time to go to the gym this morning before work. Today was my first full day at work this week. I am working half day tomorrow due to senior pictures for C.
So I pushed myself to go to the gym after work tonight. I went to the gym that is near work in Nashua. I only did the treadmill again tonight like yesterday. I am only working half day tomorrow so I am hoping that I can go to the gym some time on Wednesday. I want to try to go to the gym everyday if I can or maybe 3-4 times a week.
My total steps for today Monday October 1 2013 is: 15,781 and the miles say: 4.22 but I think that is incorrect. both might be incorrect who knows. I noticed that my pedometer said 10,000 miles before I even left work for the day today. so that is good.
I weighed myself on my new scale today and it said: 136.9 pounds, which means I am down .4 lbs since when I weighed in on Monday. My old scale said 137 lbs. so I am happy that it is being consistent.
Dr. Engelhart told me today (Tuesday Oct 1 2013) that I look really good and that it looks like I lost more weight. He tells me that he can really notice it. and I think it is interesting because this morning before I left for work I was looking at my face in the mirror in the bedroom and noticed myself that my face looked thinner than before. And that was just an observation that I had. So, naturally when he said that it just made me feel GREAT!
*************************************************************************************************************
I was talking to Mom tonight about how AJ never say anything nice to me or never compliment me on anything. I told her that I have complimented A&J on occasion but never anything from them. I was telling Mom about when I cut my hair a few weeks ago and how J&A never said a word about it. I mean if they didn't like it they could have just said that they noticed I cut my hair since it was such a drastic change. but if they did like it you would think they would have said something. But NOOOOOO! I also told Mom that I will and have complimented J on her hair in the past but no more. or not for some time. I don't feel the need to make them feel prettier when they don't do the same for me. Maybe I am being selfish who knows. But I wish they were nicer to me or us or something.
I am exhausted! Good night!

Workout this morning!
I worked out at gym today. 2.02 miles on treadmill. 36 minutes. I upped the speed to 4.0 mph for 2 minutes. Today is the first day that I used the fat burn on the treadmill. I am not using my HRM as it has not been working for some time. I need to buy another one at some point. The calories on the machine were 139 burned but I think that is inaccurate.
I have been using about walk.com and I can put in my miles and weight and it will calculate. When I did it today. 2.02 miles at 137 lbs it says I burned 147 calories.
I weighed myself this morning on my old digital scale.
6:48am n/c 136 lbs 3x
6:49am n/c 136 lbs 2x
6:50am n/c 136 lbs 4x
body fat percentage (body fat calculator set at 5'4", 137 lbs, normal, female it is the last one in the list maybe number 7)
body fat %: 33.8// BMI: 23.7. Not bad.
When I weighed on the new scale without setting anything up it said I was 137.3lbs. So I am going with 137 lbs.
