May 27 wow it's been awhilemichelle's blog
well alot has happened sense last time i wrote. I am now a great aunt. Thats just another mile stone we all have to cross. atleast i am not a grandma yet! I have been pretty much keeping the wieght I've lost of except for a couple of lbs thanks to the birthcontrol my dr put me on. I have PCOS and its pose to help with the cyst. I found out losing wieght helps with the other symptoms of PCOS but really doesn't help with the cyst on the overies and all the pain they cause every month. I also found out I have gallstones. I am waiting to go to the specialist for that to see what he says. I get nausiated after eating. But you know that doesn't stop me from eating. LOL it makes me want to eat more thinking if I do it will help. But I know it wont. so with all this going on and the end of school stuff with the kids. I am never bored. I do need to start exerciseing again I have the stuff at home to do things with. I quit going to the gym because gas is too high and I don't live close to town. I live in the country. almost in the sticks if you will. May 05 Still aroundElaine's blog
I see its been a whil since I have posted. Life has been so busy baseball still going . I got sick and been doing test I apparently had a kidney stone that really sucked! lol They did find a cyst on my ovary so IM taking it easy till he tells me what im gonna do about it. As for weight I havent gained any . During the week I go up a pound and down so pretty much still the same. Hopefully after baseball season I can get back to where I was as far as exercise Hope all is well with yall. April 29 keeping it downmichelle's blog
Well last Thursday was weigh in day and I lost another pound. so that brings me to have lost 20.5 lbs. And yes my easter chocolate is gone. (Thank God) Now if I can just keep busy. I also need to go to the gym a little more. It is just so hard now because of gas prices. we live in the country so it takes about 15 mins just to get to town. Tha gym takes about 10. But i have a gas gusseler so just a trip to town and back uses alomst 2 gallons of gas. that means each trip cost me (right now) $7 a trip. It will be more once gas goes up again which I doubt will be soon. April 21 just another mondaymichelle's blog
Ok its another monday i am going to the gym in a little bit. I am going to start going 3x a week now. I did weigh 250.2 this morning so thats good ,but I still need to be building muscle to burn more calories and to keep burning. If you haven't googled metablism and strength training you need too. I learned alot of helpful stuff when I did that. I can't wait to see how much I lose by our class reunion in july. It is kinda hard to estimate with the way that I am eating now. (and o yeah I am still working on that easter candy. It's almost gone now so that wont be there calling my name.But I've not done too bad I am still losing the weight.) I am still looking to get under that 250 mark. I am hoping to be there by this next weigh in at TOPS. April 16 Hump day Yeah!! YEAhh!!!!!!! ALI!!!!!!! I am so glad a woman won! I proves we can do it. She looks so good. All of them look Good. I can't wait until I look like that. Sense I have been eating what I want and stopping when I am start getting full I don't think about food as much as I use too. It is great. I can't go back to the way I was eating. I don't like the overfull feeling I get when I eat too much. I am eating slower and chewing my food slower . You know some foods I use to love to eat, I don't like the way they taste when I have to chew them very long. And if i am eating something that does not taste very good, well I don't eat it because I would rather get full on something I enjoy rather than something thats ok. Like yesterday we went to Chili's and we had chips, salsa and caso. I ate a few chips but I did not eat alot cause I knew I would not be able to eat the meal when it came. It has been a month sense I have been eating like this and it gets easier and easier to do. Before I had hopes to reach my goal but now I have no doubt that I will. My way of eating has changed and the way I think of food. When I think of that stuffed feeling it makes me sick. I just can't do it any more. If i still have food on my plate I know I can take it home or if I am at home I know I can eat it later. It will still be there for me to enjoy. yes a year from now I will be one of those skinny people who can eat what every they want and eat all day long and not get fat. The thing is yes they eat what they want but they don't over eat. I am still going to the gym to workout. I will always need to build muscle. I know muscle burns caleries even while you sleep.
I am not going to worry about building too much muscle or that muscle weighs more than fat. I have come to the conclusion that I am a long way from being a body builder. SO WHAT muscle weighs more than fat. I would rather look lean and fit and weigh more and burn more caleries than be flabby and bigger all so I can weigh less. My thing is not to really to weigh a certain weight but to be fit and healthy. April 15 Cool finally first biggest loser woman!I was so glad alli won this. She looks so great. The show was awesome. I do think that even know I wasnt to happy about the picks for mpm that they should have made a bigger deal of the people who went. Congrats to the winner IM glad it was you who won. ON a differnt note YOu know it is amazing how many people email and still look at our site even when the thing is over. If I got unmotivated the show tonight and just seeing how many people take time to see how we are and how were doing is so inspirational. We get emails asking if we have advice and how we are losing etc its really cool . I have had a good week I did weigh at the gym this morning 258 I was really excited to see that under 260 mark seems like i been there forever!! So now I need to get to put that scale on 200 thats gonna be so great. I still havent gotten to work out and go to topps but baseball season has been so busy but at least im losing still thank god! I dont wanna ever see that weight again! My biggest was in NOvember i was 280 and enough is enough so im so glad to see it in the 250s. I even went to lunch a couple weeks ago with my kids and a girl there said I was Taylors Aunt I said no im her mom she said you really look differnt I said I hope in a good way she said yesss. REally hits home crazy to hear that from a kid; I never want to go back there again and I wont. I want my kids to be proud of there mom! Anyways hope everyone is still hanging in there. April 14 Monday again?Well not much to report. I did lose down to 258.7 which is easter weight lost and a pound so so far so good. Not much working out yet gas is so high! I never posted my myspace page cause I thought it would be rude during the matchup so now that it is over here it is www.myspace.com/texanlady31 . Hope everyone had a great weekend I did go outside and play baseball with my kids they loved that it was such a great day and then we went fishing. Well cannot wait till the finale tomorrow hope the vote was good. Wasnt to impressed by the mpm winners though I can say. Everything happens for a reason so hope they have fun. Hopefully Ill lose some more weight this week.  April 11 TGIFmichelle's blog
Well it's Friday again and tomorrow I have a baby shower to do. I can't wait. I went to weigh in last night. I only have 4.5 lbs to lose to break the 250 mark. I have not been under 250 in 11 years. I was kinda emotional about it on my way to the weigh in last night. i mean a big cry baby. I did not realize how it would effect me. I am going to try hard this week to only eat when I am hungry, eat slow and stop when I am full. Thats what I have been doing sense my root canal. and it has worked preety good. I had decieded to eat like my niece (who is skinny) and thats how she does it. Yes she eats all day long but she only eats a little at a time. Its all the same things they have been trying to tell us for years. I could have lost more than I have now but I had bought some 75% off easter candy (lots of it, like 36lbs of it) and yes I still eat too much of it but not as much as I would have monthes ago. i eat about 10 pcs a day.I need to cut that to about 3. If i would have thought to read the calarie content I probably would only eat 3 a day. but you know wnat it is all in determination and motiveation. so for now on I am only going to only eat 3 a day. that is my limit.!!! I will let ya'll know how I do. April 09 hair salon name Ok so I have my building finally just 200 square feet enough for me and michelle. I used the name Progressive Images hair studio before. I never got to open cause of money but now ive moved it so Im gonna try again. Not sure if I want to use the same name or not. Give me some advice. Its not big or anything. I was gonna use best heads in town but lol Michelle said she would not work in that lol So Let me know what names you come up with. Catchy ones etc Were pretty fun people so wanted to find something fun or Do yall like Progressive Images? Let me know this should be fun to see what people come up with. These are a few suggestions I thought of before also. Beautification station, Sophisticut, Hair Creations, Lets here from you! Congrats to the winners and what a great show last nite!Elaine's Blog
Congrats to the 5 winners. Have a great time in LA and think about me often lol What a great show last nite! I was so glad the girls got to go I sure hope one of them win! I need to go vote. I like them both man Alli looks so gooddddddd. They all should be really proud. As for me life is still crazy here it seems when I started this my house has went neglected :( I am trying to get it painted and stuff before it gets too hot. Then I will have to start working out again. I havent done bad though. Seems when im at home and busy I still lose. Even with pms week I lost according to my scale 2 pounds. I havent been able to attend our weight loss meetings this month because my kids have had games on Thursday night. So when I get back there I will know exactly what I have lost. Anyways keep up the good work. Cant wait till the finale and to see everyone who wents pictures.  April 06 Got to get movingHey everyone Im still here but truth man ive had the hardest time exercising in the last month between gas prices and just busy life it has been crazy. I did get on the scale and did not gain anything. I had gained during Easter and did lose it. I have been busy I pressure washed my house today so I did not just sit and do nothing. I actually dont eat alot at home so I dont gain alot. HOpefully when I get things caught up I can get back to exerciing again. I went Friday with michelle but just couldnt get motivate4d. I think it has alot with the time of the month ! We have to get moving cause like I said we have a reunion in July it will be here before we know it. There was a couple of people that left messages and I want to tell ya that really helped me get motivated I really needed it. I came to far to go back now. That is not an option. HOpe everyone had a great weekend!

I did alot of yard work today. I mowed by the way is a real workout cause I don't have one of those perfet yards where everything is smooth and nice grass my yard is half weeds and half grass and not smooth! My whole family was workin. we cut down trees, stacked BBQ wood, made burn piles with the rest of the tree leems(sp)(brain freeze). We worked all afternoon. You know what I have noticed. I have been getting stiff when I have been sitting and I didnot have that problem while we were exercising all the time. Guess I will have to hit the Gym tomorrow. I have not gained any weight. I have stayed the same.But this week is a new week and I will do my best!!! I want to make sure i lose this week. April 01 tuesdaywell I went to aerobics yesterday and then to the gym. Man am I sore today. I can feel every muscle I worked on at the gym. I bought this book at the library sat. it is about working out and it talks about going slow on your reps i am here to tell you it works. I have not been this sore sense we first started. I can tell you exactly which one I worked on. Useally I don't remember what all I did. Thank God I get to rest them today. I signed my husband up for the gym yesterday. I am surprised he is wanting to go. He even took him a gym bag with shorts and tennis shoes. If you knew my husband "He don't wear shorts in public." So you can believe I was shocked! March 31 Good bye Easter pounds!Elaine's blog
Ok I havent been able to work out again yet but I did lose my Easter pounds all 4 of them im bck to where I left off thank goodness. Baseball season is still gonna be hard but Ill get to working out again . Talked to Michelle today and were going WEd. I hope everyone else is doing great and hanging in there. March 27 wagon fall off againElaine's Blog
Ok is it a full moon or what. I tell you the last 3 weeks have been hard for me It just seems so busy and hectic. I havent worked out , Easter as you know was very hard and I gained 4 pounds!!!!! Oh that was just to hard to lose to let that come on again. I havent gotten to talk to michelle much I do know shes doing better than me. Baseball has started and with 2 kids in it always on the run ere and there . My hardest I think is just making myself cook etc. Its so hard not to just pick up a pizza or get a burger when your so busy. Sometimes its 9 pm before we get home. I did tell Michelle today tHat I would be getting back to working out Monday. I did not use the gym 1 time the whole month of march. So not only did I gain , I wasted money! Im aggrevated at myself and Im just not gonna get back in to that routine again. So next week watch out here I come again!!!! March 24 its a new weekWell its another week and I feel good. Sense I had my root canal I have been eating differently. I have been eating slower and not eating as much because I am getting full faster and I stop there.I don't like the feeling of being overly full. I am trying to eat every few hours like we are supose to and I have lost a lot this past week. I feel comlpetely satisfied I eat what ever I want. I just stop when I am satisfied. I did get to go to the gym a few times last week, I am also going this morning. I havn't talked to elaine today but My guess is she is recuperating (sp) from this past weekend at her mother-in-laws.I sure hope everyone is sticking to their goals and don't give up because I know you can do it!!!
