My progress for getting back on track with my weight and health 4/25/22

I am finally able to wear jeans again now :) 

I haven't been able to fit in jeans in FOREVER aka months and so the fact that I am able to wear them again, makes me feel like I am doing good with getting my weight and health back on track again :) 

I'm really hoping I will see more progress with my weight and health getting better by the end of the year :)

I will check in again soon and share my progress as the year goes on :)

Picture of me from 2/13/17

2/13/17

I am still going through my computer and trying to delete stuff I don't need on it to make room on it so it can actually function like it is supposed to and I came across this picture of me after I got this computer and was testing out the webcam on it. 

I gotta say that I have lost weight since this picture was taken (even though throughout this last year I gained some weight back and will be losing it again).

I was also living in Fayetteville, NC (Spring Lake, NC) when this was taken. We had just moved there a couple months before this was taken and now I am in Richmond, VA and doing so/so... I kinda feel downhill this past year (January 2020 to now) and am trying to get back to doing better like I was in 2019. 

But yeah, I just wanted to share this on here to look back on later. 

For now, hope you all have a great night because I'm going to call it a night since it is 11:45pm and I'm sleepy. 

Gaia Sciences Garcinia Cambogia Super CitriMax® 60% HCA Patented Formula - Product review soon - Product information

I just ordered this a few days ago off of Amazon, because I want to see if it will help my colitis calm down. Not to mention help with my diarrhea, that I deal with from my colitis. I also want to see if it will help with my losing weight.

 

I will be reviewing it and letting you all know if it is worth the price to buy it in a blog post soon. The review should happen either the first or second week of April 2015, because I'm not supposed to get it till about April 1, 2015. I got to get the product at a discounted price, but that won't effect my views when I review the product.

My BMI went down in the last 2 weeks

2 weeks ago, my BMI was 43.8 since my weight was 271.2 on the doctors scale and as of yesterday when I weighed in on my household scale (naked) it read 266.6 so I realized today my BMI is now 43  I'm proud of myself. I also realize that with clothes on I am most likely going to weigh in about 268 on a scale, but that isn't too bad. I prefer to weigh without clothes on. I think I get a better idea on where my weight is at. 

Which do you all prefer and trust when you do your weigh in's?

Getting back on track using SparkPeople

I am now as of yesterday working on being active on SparkPeople to help get me back in track with getting back in shape and feeling better about myself again.

I have lost 5 lbs. since the beginning of the year, as of yesterday :) So, that makes me very happy, but I want to do better and actually see progress with my weight loss more in person then on the scale every few months when I go to the doctor.

I go back to the doctor in 6 months (so November 2014) and I want to have lost at least 10 lbs. by then because the doctor didn't seem impressed with my weigh loss of 5 lbs. :( Even though I was very happy to see that.

Starting Weight: 290
Current Weight: 271.2 (As of 5/15/14)
Lowest Weight: 130
Goal Weight: 170

Also, here is a starting photo, so that I can work on seeing progress again through photos, because it is motivation for me. Photo was taken on 5/11/14. So, I will update it again on 6/11/14 to see if I notice a difference in my looks. I will wear the same clothing that day as well.

I have simple exercise goals of starting with working out in the morning and working out for 10 minutes everyday, if not more. Also, I am working on kicking out soda from my diet again and adding more water with crystal light into my diet again.

Also, when I go to my GI doctor in June, I am going to try and find out if I have  a gluten intolerance and if I do, then I will be going gluten free as well, to see if that helps with my chronic stomach pain.
