Chest: 46 in.

Hips: 54.25 in.

I am very disappointed!!! I have not worked out for almost 2 weeks do to my period.. I need to get back on track. I also was not as disciplined with the diet this past week do to many events we had to go to this past week. I need to find a way to stick to the diet while attending events. Here's to getting back on track!!!

Week three

Amber-

Okay time to get back on track. I don't like seeing the scale go up, but that's exactly what happened this week. I'm a bit discouraged, but I'm going to work on food choices and portions this week.

Weight: 229.6lbs (up 1.4lbs)
Chest: 44" (no bra, down .5")
Waist: 48"
Hips: 49" (down .5")

Decisions

Amber- I've decided to quit Herbal Life. It isn't the program for me. I've decided to do what I know works for me. Document my foods and exercise. I've decided that I will workout at least 3 times a week. Whether that is a walk to the park, on the treadmill or doing some workout video like our P90x I will do something.

I'm not going to do any special diet or eliminate/deprive myself of anything, but I will make better decisions. I am going to focus on smaller portions and increase in fruits and veggies and more water consumption.

I've been really off track all week and weekend and I feel it. I feel bloated, sluggish and just overall gross. Time to focus and get back on track. Here's to a better attitude and out look on this journey.

I wanna shout out that I'm proud of you Kimi for doing so well. You are inspiring me to NOT give up that I too can lose this weight.

New Approach

Amber- I'm thinking I wanna try a new approach. Although I've had a weight lost of 3.4lbs in 1.5 weeks on Herbal Life I'm thinking it isn't the right plan.

Here's my reasons:

1. Easy to "cheat"
2. Haven't eliminated the "bad foods" from my diet
3. Expensive
4. End up snacking or making bad choices on my 1 meal
5. Too much milk, feel bloated
6. Causing some constipation
7. Weight lost seems slow with what little bit of food I do eat
8. Feel sluggish, unmotivated, discouraged

I'm considering trying the South Brach diet. Although, it would be nearly impossible with the life style Jon and I live, I think I want to try. I know it will be an extreme challenge to do it "alone" at home knowing Jon is eating things I can't have, but I want faster results for the bulk at the beginning of this weight loss journey.

I know that sounds selfish and like a terrible reason, but I'm tired of looking at the scale and seeing minimal results.

Tonight is my last night of soda pop. I'm choosing to take it out of my diet. That's my first challenge. Although it is a staple in working graves I'm tired of "needing it".

I'm going to do some more research on what plan might be best for me, but I am leaning towards South Beach even if it is just for the first phase to get some bulk off. Tired of that damn 200+ number. It's time to let it go!

These girls are the reason I'm willing to try anything. I'm ready to be a healthier, fit, energetic Mom forever!!!

Kim's week 2:


Weigh in & Measurements:
Weight: 244 lbs.
Chest: 46 in.
Waist: 46 in.
Hips: 54.25 in.

This was a very hard week for me. I didn't cheat but I craved chocolate like crazy!!! I also wasn't able to workout because I was having my period. (I have horrible periods!!) I also felt really sluggish this week...I think that has a lot to do with no carbs.
I am still proud of the inches lost!
Hoping with workouts and changing to Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet this next week I will be able to loose more weight.
