Weight loss

Make August Count

Gone are the days of doing nothing from 6PM until bedtime, i.e. my life for the past few months. My awesome weight loss results feel like eons ago and the pounds I’ve gained back are haunting me everyday. I’m dedicating August, AKA “last-month-of-free-happy-life-because-I-start-my-Masters-in-September,” to getting off as much of the 30 lbs I put back […]

I’m a Natural…Boxer

I’m a natural at lots of things, i.e talking/socializing, tweeting/blogging, making people laugh, sarcasm, persuasion, organization etc., but who’d-a thought I’d be good at boxing? Turns out I’m pretty angry and strong, and decent with the 1- 2- 1- 2- attack-attack! A lovely coworker recommended I go with her to check out this boxing/MMA gym […]

Do the Detox

Thanks to a debilitating need for Sun-day drinking November-January (football season) I sadly fell off my weight loss wagon and gained 5-7 lbs. Enough is enough. I will finish this weight loss, and be the fit superwoman I want to be. Screw all these p90 vows, and the beer binge day-drinking crap… it is on. […]

One Resolution

…and one resolution only. Another year come and gone and what did you do? While I don’t normally DO much from year to year, it doesn’t help to set yourself up for failure if you do set hard core “resolutions.” Last year I explained, “I don’t like referring to New Years resolutions, as “resolutions” because it […]

Against the Holiday Grain

Guest Blog: Frankie @Feed_MEE Ever since 3rd grade when asked what my New Year’s resolution would be, I responded by saying I was going to lose weight, every year. Sometimes I succeeded, other times… I failed miserably. Since college graduation (2010) I’ve packed on about 30 pounds. I love food. Mix THAT with a heavy […]

Fat & Skinny Jeans

Big dilemma more recently, I have no jeans. Not that I can’t go out and buy them, but I guess I’ve been waiting to be at my smallest or at my ultimate goal weight before the big ol’ shopping spree. What I noticed though, is that I need clothes… especially jeans, because it’s one thing […]

8 Weeks Up

8 weeks ago I decided I wanted to reach my goal weight (of 165) by today. Then, it was about 18 lbs left to lose. I weighed in every Monday as I worked hard at the gym and with a trainer, to lose it. Anyone following, probably noticed I skimped out on weigh-ins the past […]

Eat Eggs like Rocky

Well sort of, not ACTUALLY: For the past few months I’ve acquired the taste for egg whites. Never was a big egg eater in general- used to always just get bacon and cheese on a bagel. Only ate moms’ very well done scrambled eggs, if ever. It wasn’t until I started Losing It, that I […]

Week 5, 28 Days Left

THIS IS SO HARD! AND FRUSTRATING. There is so much truth to the fact that the last of your weight loss IS THE HARDEST to get off. Haven’t stopped working hard- but with the ‘muscles’ building it adds the 2 lbs I might have lost in water or fat. But… stay positive, right ExFatGirl? …RIGHT! (Thought this […]
