My goal is to go back to American Eagle or gap and fit into the size 8 jeans there, and fit into them to the point they are not tight, you know, that perfect fit, no muffin top etc. I want to get in the 120's, so 129 will make me SO happy! So I am thinking that is 20-25 lbs away. So if I lose 2-3 pounds per week I want to reach this goal by the end of March! So here we go again, I need all the prayers and comments and support that you all were so great with to help me get to this point.
Here is my progress for now though. August 2008 I started this process at around 218 down from having Ruby. My biggest jeans were a size 20 but I mostly wore 18's. I couldn't run to save my life, never ran a mile, hardly walked one. Took me like 14 minutes to walk/jog a mile. Had so much pain in my knees and was miserable. Now I got down to 140's (not sure of the current weight) mostly wear a size 10 (though at walmart an 8, but no where else). I have run 4 5K races in 35 minutes or less, one in 30.5 minutes! I love running and exercise, no more pain in my knees and I am truly happy and healthy.
Now I will get down to 129 and there is nothing holding me back, I have everything that I need to obtain my goal. The hardest thing though is 129 is still in the overweight category on the BMI scale, so frustrating, so I think I just may keep going to get to 125. In fact I just made that my new goal, 130 by March, 125 by April, hot sexy summer body by this summer. I know I can do it and I know that I have the right attitude, the tools I need and the support that has gotten me to this point. I also got a gym membership for Christmas (thank you so much mom and dad). 24 hour fitness is gonna be sick of seeing me this year!
I also am thrilled to see some friends losing weight too, they look so great and I am so excited for them cause I know exactly how they feel, way to go Nicole and Jayma and Kristy you will always be an inspiration though at times I get sick of how awesome you are, my sexy size 4 friend, thanks for being one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders and for loving me even when I was big and unhappy. Good luck to my fellow losers! This is gonna be the best year ever!

Emilee, you are so brave and strong, it will give other young ladies so much courage to be proud of their own accomplishments and strength to keep going. Life has so much in store for you girl, just follow your dreams and know we are all cheering for you. some people just roll over and play dead, but not you, YAY!!!I loved reading your blog and will visit it often !! Hugs girl, Jeanne
Go Emily! I will be re-joining the weight loss regime probably in mid March (maybe sooner if the doctor releases me) and my main goal is to get right back to the healthy lifestyle instead of using all the excuses I did before! My goal is that I will be back to pre-pregnancy weight or less by August (6 months after baby gets here). This also happens to be when my 10 year reunion is scheduled...so even more motivation!!! Good luck!
i am so freaking happy for you!!! i get so excited to hear how happy you are. you deserve nothing but the best. keep up the great work. i'm slacking majorly on my working out. i think i've gained like 6-10 pounds since we came on recruiting duty. i need some of your motivation :) let me know if you have any good at home workout DVDs that you love so i can try them out. out excerise room is like 50 degrees...and that's inside our house! so i don't wanna even go in there. i'm hoping the DVDs will let me be able to workout when Trip is awake (since he doesn't nap anymore) anywho...this is a little long...whoops.
I am sooooo proud of you, Mimi! You're awesome and have worked so hard for everything you've accomplished. Can't wait til it warms up and you're running by my house!
