So...On July 9th I decided I needed to do something. I had lost another 12 pounds by July 9th, but still none of my clothes fit. I decided I would make a goal of losing 2 pounds a week for a total of 16 pounds by my birthday. (August 30th). So far...It has worked. I have lost 2 pounds a week for a total of 8 pounds so far. I know it isn't lots, but I am proud of myself. Everyone that has known me for awhile has knows that I have struggled w/ weight for pretty much forever! I go up and down and back and forth. I have clothes from size 8 to size 14. It is pretty sad. I have always been active and never eatten horribly, I guess I am just not consistent.I decided that I wanted to feel good about myself again and so far it is working. I have always wanted to get the weight of fast, but that never lasts. I feel like I am finally doing it the right way. Eating healthy and exercising. Yippie Horray.
Wanna know what my inspiration is, besides wanting to feel healthy and happy?
Look at my HOTT little sister Hailey! (Kacy is Hott too, but she has always been thin)
Hailey has lost over 55 pounds in the last 7 months! I am so proud of her! Yippie for Hays!

Lindsay, 8 pounds IS a LOT! It doesn't sound like a lot, but in terms of weight, it makes a big difference! I'm so proud of you! And Hailey is looking SO beautiful! You guys are awesome... It is SO hard to keep on a diet and exercise regularly. I decided about 2 weeks ago I was also going to get the rest of the "baby" weight off too. I have like 10 pounds to lose (I don't know real numbers because I don't have a scale... it could be more!) Anyway, I've discovered that theres a TON of yummy diet foods out there! But even with the low-cal foods those calories add up FAST! I can only imagine how many calories I was eating before when I ate whatever.. Good Job Linds, lucky for you you look beautiful at any weight (and that's the truth!)
"On July 9th I decided I needed to do something. I had lost another 12 pounds by July 9th," You sure lost a lot in one day Linds!!
I think you're doing awesome! Just so you know, I gained 60lbs when I was pregnant with Byron--I started at 138 and got all the way up to 198!!! But two weeks after I had him, I had lost almost 30lbs (I had retained water weight soooo bad), 9.7lbs being Byron! I had the hugest double chins ever. Your pregnancy picture is way cuter than any of mine were! Anyway, I'm impressed you're doing what you are--it's hard, but worth it! Good job!
Thanks Sarah and Jill. You both know what I am going through. Ick! Hopefully if will all be off soon. Yup Sarah. I ran for 12 hours on July 9th and lost a pound every hour! Crazy huh!! heehee
GOOD FOR YOU! I am going to blog about my weight loss efforts too. I just haven't done it yet. I've been having one of those 'pet peeves' about people's comments and my current weight.
I'm glad you went public. I will feel more comfortable 'baring' my feelings now. Weight loss is so hard...particularly when belonging to a church that has no other vices (although technically eating is definitely not a good choice either).
And wow, Hailey looks gorgeous! I'm so proud of her too. I hope she went about it in a healthy way. I've kept most of my weight off because I've always lost it in a 'healthy' manner instead of crash dieting. Anyway, I'll blog about it soon and everyone will know what I think. (oh no!!!)
I am so very, very proud of you and your sis. It is sooooooooo hard to stick to a weight loss program. Keep up the good work. (I like the take it off in 1-day plan!)
Wow! I am so impressed with you Linds. I have consistently gained weight since I lost it all. It took me a few years of carrying the baby fat around before I wanted to do something about it. I would love to know how to lose eight pounds in two weeks. I need a good kick start. I lose motivation fast if I don't lose much to begin with. Hailey is beautiful and I am so proud of her. Please post more pictures of the both of you. By the way is she back home yet?
You are really doing great and it sounds like you have such a healthy plan to do this. Unlike me who is so impatient that if I don't lose five pounds a day I become frustrated and grab that candy bar. Weight issues....don't get me started. GRRRR!
Wow Hailey looks so good. Her eyes look so huge in that skinny face. How pretty she is....just like her sisters.
