Yep! I saw 130.6! But I feel so yucky because I am having problems the "bathroom" again! So maybe I am actually 130! LOL
My daughter Tennille has New Motivation to Lose her weight and start a New Life! She is learning that she has to make serious life style changes..and she has even been changing her ways of looking at food. That is really KEY!
I will be helping her as much as I can! I have a great blog here to refer too. ;0)

Feedback Is Fuel
Feedback Is Fuel
Eating the right foods is just one part of fueling your workouts — the other is all in your head. As you're working your butt off to achieve big results, even if you can't tell a difference, there's the satisfaction of other people noticing.
Positive feedback is great because it gives you added motivation to keep busting your butt. People may not understand your positive lifestyle yet, but you KNOW you're doing something right if they pay you a compliment. So, when your friends and family say you look slimmer (though maybe they still think you're crazy for getting up at 5 a.m. to work out), take that flattering remark and use it as fuel to continue making it to the gym each day. When your co-workers say you're looking re-energized, take that as motivation to say "no, thanks" to that big hunk of chocolate cake they're passing around the office.
Every time someone notices your new lifestyle and attitude, it's a pat on the back that will make you feel awesome. Use that feedback as fuel to stick with it!
Here's what one online teammate had to say about her accomplishments on the Message Boards:
"Ok, so I know it doesn't seem like much but I have lost 8 pounds in exactly 6 days. I am sooooo happy! Now you have to understand that for me this is a big thing. I haven't stuck to a workout in such a long time. And some of the things I do in my workouts are incredible! I never thought I would be able to do chair lifts and so many squats. I am in pain and it feels good! Just wanted to share my happiness with you all. Now I have to work hard this next week so I can pull another great number. I got my sister to join, so I am now officially in battle mode to be the Biggest Loser! Anyone interested in joining? Let me know. And if you have any great weight loss numbers, please...BRAG!" – kikikins
Go ahead and share with her and your other teammates what you done on the Message Boards — get your own feedback as fuel!

Find the Middle Ground ~ From Jillian
What's your favorite treat? Come on now — if you could eat your way out of a room filled with one kind of food, what would it be? Cake? Potato Chips? Chocolate? Cheese? Ice cream? When you know that you can never have just one potato chip, it's tempting to swear off that food forever — especially now that you're focused on improving your health, diet, and physique. But as many of us have found out from experience, labeling something as "forbidden" makes it all the more appealing!
A critical step in renouncing the destructive, all-or-nothing mind-set is knowing how to walk the line between self-denial and self-indulgence. It is the middle ground that offers the best foundation on which to build your new life. Denying yourself little pleasures such as an occasional glass of wine or a chocolate truffle will only make you feel deprived, frustrated, and ultimately hopeless about maintaining your discipline. A temptation is a lot less powerful if it isn't totally forbidden. This is where moderation comes in.
There is room for all foods, no matter how "bad" they are; it's just a matter of being conscious and careful of how often and how much. It's fine to have a piece of cake now and then, just not every day, and not the whole cake.

Been too long!
It's been a long time sicne I wrote here! I have slacked off from my strict diet, but have continued excersise, also not a ridged. But have continued to slowly lose the pounds.
This morning I actually saw 131.4! Haven't seen that in years!!
I have been gearing up to get the slimfast back out and start counting and writing the calories down everyday. My goal is 125 by May 13th, so I still need to lose 6-7 more pounds by the end of the next 6-7 weeks or so.
I know I can do this. But I actually think I look just fine..grat even at where I am now. Maybe that's why I have backed off?? But a goal is a goal right!

Tune in to Your Body
Tune in to Your Body
Your body is trying to tell you something, but you're just not listening! To win at the weight-loss game, you've got to make some changes. One of the most important ones is to stop listening to anything but your body to establish a realistic weight for your specific build. Forget about what you see and hear from pop-culture sources.
Another thing not to rely on is the body mass index (BMI), which determines the amount of fat you have on your body according to your weight and height. Here's why you're not going to use it: It fails to distinguish between fat and muscle, so the BMI will ultimately give you an incomplete sense of the shape you're in.
Today, the medical industry has set its weight guidelines according to the waist-to-hip-ratio method, which is a much more accurate way of arriving at an ideal goal weight. Follow these steps to find yours:
Get a tape measure and measure your waist right at the belly-button line.
Standing with feet hip-width apart, measure your hips at their widest point.
Now simply divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. This is your waist-to-hip ratio.
The ideal waist-to-hip ratios are 0.80 for women and 0.95 for men.
