Donna Marie’s Weight Loss Journey

Hello all.. its been awhile, but I started my diet 1.8.08 last year, and the anny past, I am 38-40 lbs down, not super happy about the small results in a year, but I am still on the diet {no/low carb} and trying my hardest. I hope this year I will lose more, and be closer to my goal which seems soooo far away.

Start: 408 GROSS!!!!!

Now: 372 ~~

I go to my doctor on Feb 6th to see if I lost anything.. Hopefully! lol

I am going to Florida Feb 11th so I am super excited about that, traveling on AMTRAK~ has anyone ever traveled? if so let me know how it was.. its a 25 hr ride, should be fun especially with my best friend hehe <3

Okay well hope everyone is well!

Take care, and I will update soon!

xoxo thanks to everyone for your on going support!!

love you all!!!!!

9 months ago I started my diet.

January 8th 2008. I wanted to start the year off right.. =)

Sad to say that in 9 months I only lost 25-28 lbs. =/ But that doesn’t mean I am going to quit.!!!

Weight start : 408 (Jan 8th 2008)

Weight  on doctors record: 383 (August 29th 2008)

Weight recently : 380 =)

To start my day off the right way.. I had school. Then I put on Exercise on Demand its channel 1025 for me. And put Leslie Sansone * WALK N TONE * on.. its a 2 mile walk.. I did it =)

I haven’t worked out since the beggining of the summer. I had a very rough summer so I slacked off on the working out. My Aunt passed away from Cancer so I was basically going to the hospital every day to watch my lil cousin. =/ She passed away August 27th 2008 =/ So everything has been crazy.

Anyway.. I hope I can keep up this working out now that I have started again! =)

Well figured I would update my loves. <3

Thanks everyone for your support means a lot to me!

Take care xoxo

Went to the doctors on June 20th.. And to say the least~ she is happy that I have lost 20 lbs. I now weigh 388 on record. Wish I was smaller.. but I started this diet 5 months ago~ and she told me when I first started going there.. that she wanted me to lose 5 lbs a month.. so Im sorta on track. I guess thats all that maters[?] Wish I was so much smaller (lol). Next appointment is August 29th end of the summer, she wants to see me back for a bigger result… or I hope so. lol.

 Recently, me and my best friend have been taking walks. We go for a 2 mile walk with our 2lb hand weights. Let me tell you~ its a workouttt!! lol. Sweating is the worst feeling everrrr lol. I hate it. But in the long run, we both know its for the best. I hope to see more results sooner. I need to feel happy again.

408 - 388 {20lbs down}

 January 8th - June 20th

MUCH more needs to come off.. but thats it for now.

Thanks for reading loves<3 I will update soon.

xoxo Donna marie.

Okay so I know I haven’t really been on much. I have my doctors appointment on the 20th [Friday]. I am very upset. I weighed my self several times before going to my doctor. Not very pleasing news. I don’t know. Last time I was at the doctors I weighed 392.. now during these 2 months (last time I was at the doctors was April 18th) I have weighed myself.. and the lowest it said was 383… I WAS GOING NUTS!! But that happiness ended very soon.. to find out the next week I stepped on the scale I weighed 387 .. and many times it went from that to 389~ish. Just very unhappy. I hope maybe there is a miracle during these 3 days?! I need to lose this weight I am so upset. I am at the point where I feel like this is never gonna go away. :Sigh: I feel like I have been on this for 5 months.. and a measly 21 lbs? come on. Help me~ someone lol. Maybe I lost more when I go on friday? Ugh hopefully.

Starting : 408

As of last week: 387

;[

lets see how Friday goes.. I will keep you guys updated. Thank you to everyone who reads this and keeps on giving me support~ I need all I can get.. thanks again guys!!

So I am offically 18lbs lighter! It makes me think like *wow* I was carrying the extra 18lbs on me that I lost, GROSS! lol

I wish it was more, but I am so happy that it is coming off! I weigh now 390- Started at 408!

I really appreciate all of you guys comments and boosters, it makes me feel really good to know I have great friends on this site to cheer me up & have so much support for me!

The next appointment is June 20th! So that is a little while from now, so I hope I can get a HUGE result! I will be working hard for that~

I hope all of you’s are doing great! Sorry I haven’t been on, its spring break here so I am kinda busy!

I am just waiting till april 18th to see if I lost any weight. That is the day I go back to my doctor. I have been working out (trying to do every day) to get a good result on the 18th of april!

I HAVE BEEN SUPER GOOD!!

On the Walk away the pounds (Leslie Sansone) videos I do… I have been attempting more tan 1 mile. On the weekend I did 3 miles. But today I slowed it down and went to 2 miles which is STILL A BIG WORKOUT! I just want to do really good this month until I get weighed so I can drop the weight faster.

I have so many cravings lately but I fight them all off =( lol I know not to do that to myself like I always have before. I really love this site, I love to see lil booster notes from my friends on here, makes me feel really happy when I sign on to know ppl are here for me (outside of my reg. life) =]

Well Thats it for now…

next updates is the day I get measured which is April 9th so I will keep you guys posted on that & my weight!

Thanks so much for reading!

well today I was shopping with my mom in target to get my dad things for his 50th birthday today & I can’t eat anything in targets food court so I asked my mom if I can get my diet soda. So she gave me the 2 dollars to get it, and the line took FOREVERRR. Finally got it, filled it up, and was ready to leave. A young boy must of been 6,7, or even maybe 8 years old said these lines….. “WOW mommy look, she eats a lot of food” Then you hear laughing. NICE RIGHT? I know kids are innocent and everything, but that put me down SO BAD because I worked so hard to lose those 14 pounds & hearing that made me feel like I was worthless of losing anything. My fist clenched when I was leaving the store and I looked up at the cloudy sky and asked god WHY. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me, but i am SO OVER the comments about how fat I am, gosh get over it I am trying to do something about it, and BOOM I get shot down for doing something.

So as most of you know today was my doctor’s appointment & I was weighed, the last I checked I was 405 lbs., annnddd today I stepped on the scale, I was praying to be at least 399 so I could be out of the 400’s annd to my own shock the scale read 394 lbs!!! So in total I’ve lost 14 lbs. on my diet!!! 9 lbs. in one month!! I’m so happy and it means so much to me to finally be out of the 400’s I hated it so much lol… so yeah there’s my update. Thanks for all the support you girls<33
