New Body...

Halloween Weekend!!

My FAVORITE holiday!! All my best memories are from Halloween...this year I was Supergirl & I felt ADORABLE last night. Haha...here's a picture. Hopefully Jack O'Lantern pictures are coming soon too!!

Food Pics

I've made the decision that in order to hold myself even more accountable for what I'm putting into my body...I will start taking pictures of my meals & snacks.

I know a lot of you do this & I realized that if I start being held responsible for pictures of my meals, I'm more likely to eat the right things.

In other news, WHO LOVED GLEE LAST NIGHT?? Yes...I know the Superbowl was on before it & it was a good game. If you read my blog, you know I really get into sports...but I'm sorry. The winner of my night was the GLEE episode!!

SO SO SO HAPPY IT'S BACK!!

Snowed In

So...I'm completely snowed in today. Since most people in my apartment complex went home for the holidays, there were no cars here to drive before me and turn the snow to slush. I finally made an attempt to go to Harris Teeter, but it sure did take some time.

Now I'm just relaxing in bed...watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...and enjoying my day. I wasn't able to make it into work with it being a 20-30 minute drive for me, so I'll just have to go back tomorrow. Drive slowly & safely of course!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday & is having a relaxing day today!! I'm excited to start the new year and will definitely be posting some of my goals for 2011 in the upcoming week.

What are some of your goals so far??

Alice in Wonderland

Since my laptop was broken this year around Halloween, I never got a chance to post the picture of me in my costume. I have to say, I really don't think I look that bad...it could be worse (considering I was probably around 278 when the picture was taken)

But here I am as Alice from Alice in Wonderland :-)

It was definitely a fun night :-)

I don't have much more to post right now...maybe I'll post more tonight. I did a lot of shopping for my Christmas Swap partner, Michele, yesterday!! I can't wait to wrap it all up & send it off on Thursday!!

Oh yeah!! I hope ya'll like the new layout as well :-) I felt it was time for something new and different...and this one seemed SUPER cute!!

Have a great day!!

I'm Back!

I know I haven't posted in over a week...I've just been so busy. Homework on top of work on top of everything else in my life. Not to mention...MY LAPTOP BROKE!! That definitely set me back quite a few stops on the homework train. But I'm pretty much caught up on all my assignments now :-)

I've decided that I'm going to start afresh on the weight front. I haven't been weighing in or even tracking what I'm doing. So, from this point on, the weight loss journey starts at 275.5 while still weighing in on Wednesdays. So, I'm down 11 pounds from where I originally started back in July, so that's still great!! I just need to REALLY focus this time and I'm sure I can lose more.

I just want to post my facebook profile picture real quick because looking at it this morning, I realized how good I used to look!! This was only 4 years ago & I can't believe how quickly I've changed. I want THIS back...I want to feel good in whatever I'm wearing & have a look that can turn heads.

I miss looking like this!! So, this picture here is my biggest inspriation right now. I know it doesn't show my whole body...but I can just look at my face and see the difference.

Well, I just wanted to post real quick. Let everyone know what was going on. I'm on my roommates laptop right now and a battery should be here for my BACKUP laptop on Tuesday. Then, I have to send my REGULAR laptop in to get fixed. Wayyyy too complicated.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!!

Fruit Salad--Yummy Yummy!!

So, I had one of the best eating days. I can tell...I really am finally on the right track. I don't even want to eat the bad stuff anymore!! Plus, the more weight the scale shows me losing, the more I want to lose even more!!

But, for lunch today, I made this fruit salad that seriously filled me up for the rest of the day until dinner. It was PERFECT! I was SO happy since on my last day off, I felt hungry alllll day. I even took a picture to show ya'll how deliciously good it looked (at least I thought it did!)

I put in a cut-up orange, banana slices, blueberries, and grapes! It was so filling & delicious!! I'm DEFINITELY going to make it again!!

Tomorrow night, my friend who cooks DELICIOUS healthy dinners is gonna teach me to cook some!! I'm VERY excited since we've been discussing getting together to do this FOREVER. I will update about the menu and post pictures tomorrow night!!

Isn't it great how weight loss causes you to just be in such a good mood??

Hope everyone had as wonderful a day as I had!!

Current Picture

So, I was going through my phone pictures & found one of me on my friends graduation day that I thought I would post.

This is definitely the starting off picture!! I might even be a few pounds lighter in this picture than I was when I started this blog & journey. But, for tracking & thinspiration sake, we will say the weight in this picture is 286 pounds!!

P.S. Sorry it's a little blurry!! You know how phone pictures can be sometimes.

Camera on Vacation...

So, I was thinking today about how I would really love to take & post some more pictures on this blog. Current pictures--pictures to track my progress & show ya'll what I'm currently thinking.

UNFORTUNATELY--my camera cord has gone M.I.A.!! I need to invest in one ASAP because I really do want to keep ya'll updated on my life & weight loss!!

In the meantime, expect to see pictures that can be found online! They may not be of me, but at least they'll give a little color to this blog :-)

Old Pictures

The last time I was truly happy with the way I looked was probably senior year of high school and freshman year of college.

To get the ball rolling, here are some pictures of me when I was happy with my weight!!
