Well as you read yesterday, I SAID YES TO THE DRESS,so my goal is continue to lose a little more weight but most definitely not go over board because i cant spend a million dollars on alterations and MOST definitely not gain any weight because you cant add more dress, haha. 
SO two years ago i was in a plus size 22 and 2xl in shirts and I can proudly say i bought my wedding dress in a size 16, its fits and everything, almost perfect. 

I am not someone who is working out hard core everyday and being very strict with my eating. I am simply working on my will power and portion control. I enjoy yummy foods and still am losing the weight. I started back to counting and logging my calories, that worked from me in the beginning so figured i should get back to it to help me not eat that junk food and realize what i am putting in my body.

SO I am here to tell you, don't give up, don't get down on yourself, today is a NEW DAY, make small changes and work your way up, all the weight you gained wont come off over night, just keep on going and stay positive! Make a game plan and stick to it. Get in facebook support groups, they help i know from experience. Have a friend or family help support you on your bad days! 
Another piece of advice I have is to DRINK DRINK DRINK water. 
I try to get anywhere between 64oz-100oz of water a day. 

I am going to weight myself Saturday and will update you all next week. I broke the 200 more last week so working hard to keep my number under 200. GOOD LUCK TO ALL, i am here for anyone!

Hi Friends!

Grab a button and link up to join the fun with us!!

Today we are partnering up with Kristin at Fittin' it In on giving away one lucky Ruffles with Love fitness tank top. I LOVE THESE TANKS.

I got this one a while back. I am looking into getting some more for sure. 

How can i not? Look cute while working out, its a no brainer ;) 

Little update on my FITNESS....

I have done the shred 27 workout 4 times now.

For everything we do on the video its 1 minute working out then 30 second rest. 

For beginners he suggests 30 seconds working out then 1 minute rest. So i have just been doing 30 seconds, sometimes a little longer, i am outta shape for sure and don't want to not be able to complete the DVD or hurt myself. I am pretty proud of my self and can burn almost 300 calories. I will slowly work my way up to be able to do those vigorous workouts for the whole minute. Its harder then ya think. I love the high i feel after working out, and always rest and chill with a yummy protein shake afterwards.

I am maintaining my weight right now, 200-202, and i am OK with that. I needed a mental break from counting calories, worrying about if i can go out to eat with Tevis and friends, and just over all stressing about food. So after my Oklahoma trip it will have been a few weeks and I think i can get back on board of losing some more weight. My goal is just to portion control and eat Clean as possible. 

My monthly goal for March.....

lose up to 4-6 lbs!

Drink lots and lots of water

Shred 27 workout 2-4 times a week

buy weights and work on my arms

We Can Wendesday {9}

Hi Friends and New Followers,
Welcome to WE CAN WEDNESDAY!

This is a easy link up a good way to stay accountable and get some support from other fellow bloggers who are on a weight loss journey!
All you need to do is grab the button and Link up your post!
You can post anything goal, fitness or health related! We would love to read whatever ya post.


So I just recently turned 25 and my bff Erica @ LoyalRUN decided to spoil me with one of my fave gifts i got...

I have been on this weight loss journey with her before, but never continued. This time around I have been on this journey with her since November and i have lost up to 19lbs. Its a slow progress for me but i am determined to lose 50lbs before 2014 is over! 

So Tuesday night even though i had a headache from hell, i had to try out my Polar Watch FT7.

I ran in place for 3:06 minutes and burned 28 calories! I love seeing how many calories i am truly burning! I don't have a treadmill nor do i want to go outside in this crazy cold, so thought as of last night I would start running place and keep adding minutes on and see if that'll help me out for when i start running outside again. 3 minutes may not seem a lot to you, but i ran/jogged for 3 minutes straight without stopping and that's major for me! 

I did day 11 of the Get Fit February Challenge.... and burned 26 calories, MFP was close, said i was burning 24 calories. Planks SUCK! lol end of story. Are you doing the challenge with us?? Hope so, let me know how you are doing

So i found this on Pinterest, suppose to be a 100 calorie workout, as you can see i only burned 30, maybe i did it too fast I AM NOT SURE. This watch is a life savor! At least i hope i am using it right. If you have a watch like this, do this quick workout and let me know how many calories you burn. 

Overall i am so incredibly lucky to have this polar watch and will use it EVERYDAY! Can't wait for warm weather so i can put it to work even more! I officailly feel like i am in the "cool" fitness bloggers group hehe. We should have a facebook page for it ;) 

No grab button AND LINK UP!!!!!!!!!!!
