I’m back!  I got off track there for awhile.  I found out I was pregnant a day before my wedding.  I got married on May 23rd.  I started to miscarry two weeks later :(  This was very hard on me.  I had 3 ultrasounds in a week.  The first two ultrasounds were showing a heartbeat and a healthy fetus.  The third, nothing.  I miscarried naturally and I am just starting to feel before.  The only thing that I’m not feeling good about, is that I gained weight.  I eat when I’m upset it seems.  I am now at 312 lbs.  I have started seeing my trainer again.  The only problem is that I have a sprained ankle and it’s not too easy at the gym with a sprained ankle. 

I am trying to my hardest to shock my body.  I completely cut out all bread, pasta, rice, crackers.  I started this on Monday and it seems to be working!  I weighed myself this morning.  I wasn’t suppose to be weighing in until May 15th, but I was so curious.  LOL  Sooooo….I’m weighing in at 302 lbs!  I’m going to continue this way of eating until my wedding day.  (May 23rd)  How much do you think I could lose by then?  I’m aiming for 290 lbs!  Wish me luck.

When I just started this lifestyle change, I weighed myself every two weeks - once a month.   I was losing a lot of weight, fast because my body was working hard to adjust to the change.  I made A LOT changes all at once.  I lost 20 lbs in the first two weeks.  It motivated me to the max!  I loved it.  I just thought….at this rate, I could reach my goal within a year.  Now I know that the closer I get to my goal, the harder it gets.  LOL.  Big downer.  Well, I know I didn’t gain the weight over night.  So, I know I won’t lose it overnight.  I will never give up or go back to the way I was.  I love myself more and have more respect for myself now.  This is the new me and as long as I keep up my healthy ways, I will live longer and have a happier life.

I saw my nutritionist again.  This was the second time.  She gave me a meal plan.  I’m excited to start.  Sometimes it’s really hard to follow those things.  It’s not easy to be out with friends and they are ordering fast food and your trying to stick with your salad.  I’m doing my best though. 

Also, the nutritionist advised me to stop weighing myself once a week (everyday….ha ha ha).  I should be weighing myself once a month.  I will see my results better that way and I won’t get discouraged.  I’m going to have my fiance hide the scale for me.  LOL.  So…..from now on, I am weighing myself on the 15th of every month.

Does anybody have any advice on how to get throught a plateau? 

I think I had a couple “mini” plateau’s before.  I just reduced my calories and got through it quite fast.  But I heard that some people can go through them for a long period of time.  I know that when it happened to me, I got very discouraged.  I started to question everything that I was doing.

The scale is evil!  I weigh myself 3-4 times a day.  Everytime I weigh myself, I am a different weight!  Why?!
