Yes I know my weigh in is late, but I’m still going to tell you what I weighed on Friday,, also my other stats will have to wait till next week as I didn’t have my measuring tape till yesterday.
Last weeks weight: 242
My current weight: 241
So I’m still losing. I am really happy with my progress so far and I’m really excited because I’m finally moving my Step 360 down to my apartment. It’s a good thing too as the weather is starting to get really cold and I don’t want to have to try to go out and walk.
So I have been moving and doing schoolwork and dancing around my living room for the last week or so and I have to say I am really happy with my progress this week. I want to keep working out and keep trying new things, but I know with winter coming it will be hard. The good news is I have my step 360 and my sisters Wii to play with so I think I’ll keep going. Lets just say I have not been this weight since I was just out of high school. I am really excited to keep going.

Yes I have lost 10 pounds in the last month. I think it’s because I’m eating better, food really is a big part of all of it. I still want to exercise as that is going to help my blood sugar, but food is what can really help you to lose. Make sure you eat enough though. My scale tells me that today I need 1800 calories to keep my weight, so I’m going to aim for 1500 to lose weight.
Are you trying to lose weight? How are you doing it?
I have been moving the last three weeks and I’ve also started classes so I have been busy. I’m still going to be writing on this blog, I have not done a weigh in because I just got my scale to my new apartment this week. I will do one tomorrow I promise.
I’m having a time with this move, it’s been harder then I planned but I think things are starting to come together and I’m looking forward to sharing more meals with you and other ways I plan to lose weight. right now I’ve been unpacking and doing homework so no exercise the last 2 weeks. I’ve also been sick so it actually works out.
This week has been interesting, I still have yet to exercise, but I am packing and cleaning and doing a lot of activities with friends, so in a way I am exercising! I think that’s the problem with people today. They think that if they are not running, lifting weights or in a gym they are not exercising, but really everyday activities can help you lose weight. This is very true if you are obese or are always sitting. Any moving will burn calories!
On to my weight loss
My Weight Last week:253
My Weight This week:252
I only lost a pound, but that’s okay. I lost something without even trying. The other thing I have noticed is I am not as hungry as I use to be. My mood I think has something to do with that, so if you find you eat a lot see what mood your in when you eat. You may just need a pick me up with some friends.
Sometimes you think that something is just too good to be true and then you try it and learn that it’s not. Recently I got to try out the It Works body applicator. It’s a body wrap that will remove inches or stretch marks from almost anywhere on your body. Now I will say not everyone loses inches if your already thin your may not lose much at all, but if stretch marks are an issue I would recommend the wrap anyway.
My experience was a very good one. I have a friend who sells the products and she came to my home and did the wrap in a private session. You can also do this as a party if you would like. We took down my measurements
Waist 43.5
Tummy 49.25
Hips 51.75
Then I did the wrap. Now for me the 45 minute mark where you measure again was not that great, but I did still lose some
Waist 44
Tummy 47
Hips 52
Yes I gained inches, but this process is not just 45 minutes. You actually measure after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Here are my measurements after 72 hours.
Waist 43
Tummy 44
Hips 51
I lost a total of 6.5 inches! Now you do have to drink a lot of water to flush out everything and I know your thinking well if you drink a lot of water your going to flush out stuff why use the wrap. Well I drink at least 5-8 glasses of just water a day. I don’t drink pop often and I love my tea. That said I still lost 6.5 inches. So in my experience this does work.
It Works! also has supplements and other health and wellness products.
What do you think would you pay $35 to lose a few inches?
Check out their product videos to see how it works.
Disclosure: At the time of this review the only connection I have to this company is though my friend. I did receive a discount to try the product but did not receive compensation for the review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own unless otherwise stated. I am now an It Works distributor, the above has not been altered or changed in anyway since I became a distributor except for the link to It Works now goes to my personal website.
The last month was a little crazy I had a friend pass away, met some new people and started packing to move in a couple of weeks. The good news is that even though I haven’t had to to do traditional exercising I have been busy doing so many other things that I have lose weight!
You will also notice that I am measuring a few other things. I didn’t get to share what I tried out this week as I have been busy, but I am almost done with that post and it will be up next week!

Yep I know didn’t lose anything, but it’s okay. I actually tried something really cool today and I’ll be sharing it with you next week!
I have realized something. Just after I started this blog I started hanging out with my friends more. Until that point I had managed to lose 40lbs in about a year and a half. The last two years I have lost about 20 and it’s been a struggle. I know many of you are thinking, well everyone has a problem at some point, but I’m not trying to lose 20 or 30 pounds. I’m looking at 100 pounds!
I eat out more now then I did before and I’m not eating at my set times, that could be part of why my sugar is so crazy. No one seems to get that I need to sit down at 6 pm and eat. My friends eat when they are hungry, I however don’t have that luxury anymore.
I’m hoping that when I move it will get better, though I know school will get in the way a little, I don’t think it will be that bad. I’m excited, but I have now figured out my problem, my friends are keeping me fat.
I loved taking my walks last week and the week before. The helped me to relax and get my head on right for the day. I usually found that I could at least feel like things were okay once I was on my walk, now though it seems that the relaxing is gone and I’m just drained by the end of them. I actually took a nap a couple of days ago and today I really thought about it.
I’m not sure what it is. Maybe I’m just stressed out over moving, yes if you have not heard I’m moving! I’m excited, but it seem that I just don’t have the energy to pack and clean and everything. I have a month and a half to get it all done and it’s just not working. I did get a little done today, but when I say little, I mean a garbage bag that 3/4 full and there is still a bunch of clutter on my desk.
Back to the walk. I’m not sure what I’m going to do to bring the spark back to my walks. I already listen to music, but maybe I shouldn’t and I should let myself think instead of listen. Of course I think I do that already as half the time my mind is on other things. I’m also thinking maybe I need to change where I walk, but really the picture above is the road I walk on. How much more relaxing can you get?

Last month was not a great month at all for me. I went back on insulin so I gained weight from that, but my sugar is better so now I can exercise again!
