Michelle's Weight loss journey... the feeling..
First of all I dont know if y'all know this but I'm reallllllly reallllllly into Fashion. its something that i've always been interested in. I was one of those little girls at the supermarket carrying Vogue around begging my mom to buy it for me (even tho all i did was look at the pictures...)
For as long as i could remember Fashion has drivien my life. I have SOOOOO many clothes its unbelieveable.... and frankly that was a big reason why I didn't get serious about loosing weight for a while was because I didnt want to have to buy all new clothes lol. ( I know the excuses we come up with? CRAZYNESS!)
Anyway, So when i found out about this....
DITA IS MAKING PLUS SIZE STUFF!!!!
I was reallly really excited! I cant wait to try it out! :)
OK SO... I weighed in on friday 4/15/11 and i gained a little bit, but I thinks its because TOM is here (That Time Of The Month= TOM) so we'll see how next week is, but I just wanted to tell you guys this great feeling that i have.
I feel refreshed and way better, no sluggish tired feelings, I get up and move more... i love eating healthier- and I'm SO glad that i feel that way because honestly i was getting so sick and tired of being SICK AND TIRED!
oh and im quitting smoking. so i hope its not too much all at once. I just dont like it anymore- and im tired of not being able to smell. ICK!!
love you!

Michelle's weight loss journey- the gym
SOOO since i started this life change a couple weeks ago I've been working out at home trying to more more. Ususally I just dance around with my ipod at full blast in my ears until im sweating... then i started timing so i made sure i was working out at least 30 mins a day... and now im doing that plus some aerobic type stuff (you know, sit ups, lunges, crunches, some other things i made up along the way etc etc) soooo yesterday was my first time back at the gym in years. I went with Jamie (MFP kittycat613) because she wanted to sign up at her local gym so i tagged along...
i liked it! but i was still just doing what i do at home--
we started off on the treadmil then that olipitical machine (SP?) and i did ok.. better on the treadmil then the other but it was ok.. then we went into the dance room and used the little weights and i showed jamie all the aerobics that i do at home. She seemed really impressed which made me feel good.
it turned out that i kinda took the lead at the gym and helped jamie (which i was really suprised at because i was the one who didnt even want to go. she had to get me modivated!) its weird how you even suprise yourself sometimes isnt it?
Later when we were done Jamie told me that i should teach a plus size workout class- that was awesome to me that i was able to work out and also help her get moving too. Maybe i will get a little workout group going! :)
so weigh in is tonight! we'll see how i did this week
-love you all!

I have a weight loss blog... do you want to see it?
Here's some of my weight loss blog that I had on MyFitnessPal.com I love that site. It's soo helpful.
SO I think its time that I start blogging my weight loss. I think it would be something that Im going to want to have when i get to my goal.. so Im going to start a milestone blog. basically expliaining everything that i have been going thru.
sooo here we go! The only people that TRUELY know what i weigh are the ones the closest to me, and since all my Fitnesspal amigos are going with me on this journey its only fair that they know as well....
I weighed myself in january right after the holidays and i was at the biggest ive ever been im 28 years old and weighing in at 420lbs! are you serious? I dont know what happened!! all of the sudden?? --that was my mind-frame... but the truth was i knew exactly what happened! I wasnt working out, and eating like a pig, and letting the time get away from me and this is what happened!!
first off let me just say, I love all 420 lbs of myself! you can ask any one of my friends! Im happy, i love, i smile, i work, Im in the media field of work at Fusion Radio, i write about fashion and beauty/make-up and everything in between, I do plus size modeling- and i love myself. I think im beautiful! i think my weight hides itself pretty well and im not really unhappy with anything major in my life. sure i wouldn't mind being a little more financially stable.... sure i wouldnt mind having a better love life, but all in all i dont feel that the weight directly effects those aspects of my life.
however, i do know that i need to loose the weight if i want to live a long, healthy, happy life. I can feel it already- I cant run or jog- shit i cant barely walk for long long periods of time without breaking a sweat. I would love to go hiking, or walk all around the city, or join a dance group (i love love love dancing!) I can feel it in my knees when i go up and down stairs.. IM 28 PEOPLE NOT 58!! i knew that the weight was taking a toll on my body whether i learned to accept myself or not wasnt the problem- the problem was i needed to learn and accept that i am going to die if i dont change my life.
SO things just clicked! i joined myfitnesspal! I started a diet and i weighed in almost 2 weeks ago at 401! that was a 19 lbs loss!!! then i weighed in again on friday and i weight 399.06! thats another 1.8 down!!!
so heres my starting blog, i've been doing this now for almost 3 weeks this friday 4/15/11 is going to be my third weigh in! I know im going to have good weeks and bad weeks. I know that im going to have some tough times but so far so good! Im going to do this, and I dont care how long it takes until i get there, but IM GOING THERE DAMMIT!!
thank you! love you all so much!
