I have to admit I have missed all my buddy trimmers family!!.. I’m back!! woohoo I left buddyslim for personal reasons… My life went upside down and I fell into a crazy depression.. NOT excuse just simple little facts of my life.. well.. after several months of therapy I’m back and going strong!!

During this little side track adventure I did gain almost 25lbs! It’s ok though.. I will re-lose it all!! I started weight watchers or (going to start) for that matter and also just bought ZUMBA!! I hear such great reviews on zumba.. if any of my buddy trimmers tried it now will be the time to chime in for me??? I’d love to hear your opinions..

Weigh in: 335lbs.

Goal 7 days: 333lbs.

Good luck and God Bless fellow buddy trimmers!!

Today day is my weigh in and it is offically my 1 month anniversy here on buddyslim. I have to admit I was nervous this week weighing in being I’m 3200 miles away from home. I’m here in California visiting family and friend tip June 30th. All the temptations of my favorite foods. I had to find inner strength and boy was it hard!!!

I lost -4 lbs. this week!!! That is a total of -17 for the whole month!! Woohooo *does boogie dance*

Yesterday I measaured my waist and I had lost 3 inches! When I was at walmart I decided to buy something new. I grabbed 2 sizes, my normal size 26 and a size 24..

To my surprise I fit perfect in the 24!!! I don’t know why I was so shocked. I walked out of there showing my mother and boy did she ever smile. I was so proud to have made her smile..

For all of you who ate just starting out I’m not going to lie it I’d hard.. VERY hard!! I struggled all month some days easier then others.. But the end results are worth it.. I can’t stress how much better you will feel.. I am so active and my energy level is out of control!! I almost don’t recognize myself.. BUT it is me.. The true me.. Not the unhappy person I use to be!!

Thank you to my lovely other half who has put up with my craziness and my family who suuports me through all my wild adventures.

My buddie trimmers who always are here to kick my butt.. thank you!! I will be taking some new pictures soon!!

Good luck all and God bless!!

I had to rub my eyes.. I cleared my throat.. I looked down again.. OMG IT IS TRUE!

- 6 poundsssssssssssss!! WOOHOOO! I was so proud of myself! I couldn’t resist to check today.. I was orginally going to wait til tomorrow but I couldn’t! haha

RUNS AROUND DOING HAPPY DANCE.. BOUNCE BOOTIE BOUNCE!

Hello fellow buddy trimmers! I haven’t been too active lately but I’m back and ready to play!! woohoo Been having a hard time with my oldest daughter but I have realized I can’t let her as much as I love her.. I can’t let her control ME.. Man this sounds like deja-vu .. I realized that I was allowing even my own child to control my moods .. I didn’t want to do anything!.. Teenhood argh!!

Today is MAY 1ST!! I cleaned up the house.. got some cardio in..and going to move forward.. new goals.. new way of thinking.. new life to enjoy!

I am extremly excited.. I am heading back home to California!! I will be there for almost 2 months.. Grant you I will miss my honey but he will be ok without me.. We have a little personal challenge going on.. I told him we’d make some fun challenges so we can both still be part of this together!

Well fellow buddy trimmers! Missed ya all.. but glad to be back!

GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK!

Good moring everyone! I hope today you will find your day becoming easier and easier for you.. Make sure to drink plenty of water and get the right foods in your body.. Otherwise your body wont know how to lose the weight! YES I know sounds strange..but eating right and drinking plenty of water will help your body burn the fat off!

I woke up this morning feeling refeshed.. I had been down a bit on myself jus trying to find “my balance” and I think I found it! woooooooohooooo!!

Maybe some of you can relate.. I had been so hard on myself about eating and working out.. that it all become overwhelming.. after a few days of  being “down” I finally said.. arghh enough! I got up my butt and started to feel better.. last night I walked a mile and then went swimming for 2 hours.. My eating habits last night were horrible.. but I had been very good prior to that..

Today is a new day.. smile.. laugh.. and most of all.. HAVE FUN! Losing weight doesn’t have to be an evil thing!

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

So towards the end of this week I was having several blah moments.. Feeling “weak” ect ect.. Last night I came home pretty late from swimming and was starving! The night prior I hadn’t done so good and ate SO much food.. but last night I was going to fight it!

I decided to make popcorn (120 calories per serving) and drank water.. After a bit I forgot I was hungry.. I went to bed thinking.. WOW I think I made it!! I think I actually made it!

*intermission*

Runs around room doing the happy dance!

 I am so proud of MYSELF! I knew I had the inner strength to not let myself repeat the horrible eating habits I grew so close and familar too. *hence being over 300lbs*

Goal Today:

#1-Eat 3 healthy meals

#2- Drink plenty of water

#3- Walk 2 miles in 30 minutes

#4- DVD Boot Camp

#5- Tell myself at least 3 times “YOUR WORTH IT”

Fellow buddy trimmers.. I have to say a special shout out to you guys!

Team Fitness Fanatics.. you guys are truly amazing! Thank you for your support too..

Good bless and Good Luck this weekend!

Since I started my new life journey to lose weight.. I am stunned with the reaction of my friends and family… All my life I have been over weight.. the fat one of the family.. I FINALLY make the change to do something about it.. and every single person has told me “be careful.. don’t do too much” or they say “talk to me about it when your really changed”.. *sigh*

What gets me so mad is.. WHY the heck would someone tell another person those things? I know some are trying to be “helpful” or they are concerned.. but I wonder is it truly a good advice they are giving!

I have sat on my ass my whole life.. DUH hence the reason why I need to loose weight!..  I didn’t get to over 300 lbs for nothing.. NOW THAT I FINALLY made a choice to move my large behind.. they are saying.. “be careful”??? arghhhhhhhhh!

Sorry all I guess I’m venting.. I just don’t get why the first thing out of all there mouths is BE CAREFUL!!

MY NEW THEORY! if your overweight GET OVER IT and do something about it.. SO WHAT if your body hurts.. duh you haven’t moved it in a longgggg time.. PLEASE don’t tell me to be careful!! TELL ME KEEP MOVING.. arghhhh!!

 OK OK I’m done venting..

No wait.. SO WHAT if I want to work out 3 times a day! THAT IS BETTER then 2 weeks ago when my activity was from bed.. to computer..to couch..to bed! HELLO!

OKKKKK I’m truly done now!!

 Positive Note: ” I LOVE MYSELF AND I LOVE WHO I AM NOW”

YAY!! It’s a new day.. and new things can happen! Without the support of my LOVELY caring boyfriend DJDES and my friend Lili I wouldn’t be able to do this!.. DON’T WORRY fellow buddy trimmers! I LOVE ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT TOO!! PLEASE KICK MY ASS WHEN I NEED IT!

Arghhhhhhh!! Is all I can say to myself.. Yesterday I was so busy that I had forgotten to eat lunch.. and have a snack.. I had burned about 1160 calories working out and only had eatten about 1300 calories all day.. So of course.. late at night while in bed.. (watching FOOD NETWORK) channel *big mistake* I got so hungry.. I fought with myself for about 10 minutes.. then I got up and made something to eat at 12:30am!! *SMACKS SELF TWICE*

Not only did I eat late at night I HATE WRONG! I had 2 cups of my favorite food! CHEF BOYARDEE!! omg horrible horrible! NEVER buying that again! THEN to top it off I wasn’t satisfied still! I went and ate a half of a ham sandwhich and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos!

Now this morning I asked myself, ” Am I trying to distruct the little work I have done this past week.” Why wasn’t I strong enough to not grab the food?

WAKE UP CALL- Hello Piper.. stop fighting yourself.. You are your worst enemy.. YOU ARE IN control of YOU!

New Goal for today-

#1-Eat properly

#2-Drink plenty of water 2 liters

#3-Walk 3 miles

#4-Weight traning

#5-30 minutes straight swimming

Now I’m back to focus and realized I am not perfect and I will make mistakes.. Yesterday was yesterday..

TODAY IS A NEW DAY!

Hello fellow buddy trimmers! My first weigh in was today this afternoon. I was a bit nervous..but I knew this day would come! Today we had our first trainer session too.. 45 minutes!FEEL THE BURN BABY!Earlier today I did a 30 minute DVD from Bob (The Biggest Loser) called boot camp.. ok ok ok..

*DRUM ROLL PLEASE*

5 POUNDS!!! woohoo GO PIPER GO PIPER GO!! I had set a mental goal of 3 pounds so I was so happy to know I past that little goal.. I was so proud of myself.. I knew that all this hard work would start to pay off!!

I was trilled also that my boyfriend lost 13 POUNDS!  WOW is all I could say.. I didn’t have too much effort in working out but the small changes of eating habits really proved to him that eating right is THE ONLY way to go!

Well I have to cut it short heading back to the gym to go swimming!

Man oh man did I learn a good lesson today! I allowed my stupid mind take over! I started to become “obsessed” with finding a “quick fix” to jump start my weight loss plan. UM BIG MISTAKE! $27 later and a feeling of DUH I realized today STOP allowing your mind to control YOU! I know.. I know it sounds so dumb! But it is so true.. 

I ask myself.. “Why am I so stuck on trying to find a quick fix?” it has taken me a life time (20 plus years) to gain the weight.. Why did I think I could be that special one to find a quick fix? LOL Man can I laugh at myself.

I realized I have TOOO much time on my hands if I’m searching on web sites for a fix.. LOL I should be outside walking or um maybe cleaning up a bit around the house..I did notice my obession of losing weight has gotten me a bit lazy on my daily household duties..

LESSON #1: Don’t let “scams” get you to think there are “quick fixes” out there! (took me 20 years to get fat) 

LESSON #2: Slap yourself into reality when your MIND takes over YOU!

LESSON #3: Don’t ingore daily household duties and become “lazy”
due to my new found obsession!

Man what a week it has been! I guess I’m having so many mixed emotions. Finally deciding to lose weight and having this new inner stregth is overwhelming. I almost dont recoginize myself.. Did any of you experience my craziness? LOL 

NEW Plan for this week: 

Allowing my own self to settle in with my new inner strength! 

 Good Bless All and GOOD LUCK!
