So today is a fresh start with the weight loss. I'm not proud that I gained the 8 or 9lbs back, but I'm on a mission to get rid of it and make it to my goal of 130. So here are my starting stats for 2/1/11:
Weight-159lbs; Bust-37.25"; Waist-37"; Hips-41"
I will be posting a minimum of once a week with my new measurements, but I will try to post more often with things that I'm doing to lose the weight.

The beginning
So I started out my weight loss journey last July. I was sick and tired of being asked if I'm pregnant...and how much it affected my self-esteem. So when I started the journey on 7/27/10 I weighed 169.8lbs. My measurements seriously surprised me, but my bust was 39.5", my waist was 41.5", and my hips were 43". I counted calories, was under doctor supervision and was required to put my calorie intake at only 1100 calories per day. I thought that number was too low, but the doctor insisted this is what I needed to do. By the end of August, 8/31/10 to be exact, I was down to 155.8lbs, a loss of 14 pounds! I was down to 38" in my bust, a loss of 1.5"; 38.5" in my waist, a loss of 3"; and 40.5" in my hips, a loss of 2.5". I'm willing to venture out and say this was primarily due to the lower calorie intake, the lack of snacking, and the nothing but water to drink. I didn't allow myself to drink any soda or juice or anything for that entire month. Plus I was taking an appetite suppressant from my doctor. It helped tremendously!
As you can imagine, things took a turn when I started my practicum and classes...because well life of a graduate student stresses you out. I kept counting calories, but nothing religiously by any means. Plus I slowly started adding junk food and pepsi back into my diet. I actually managed to keep losing weight because of the appetite suppressant, but I was by no means doing my part for the weight loss goal.
I decided to restart my weight loss journey on 10/1/10. At this time I was 150.8lbs (19lbs lighter than I started), with my bust at 38.5", my waist at 37.25", and my hips at 40". I have since gained back quite a bit of it back. So I'm starting over again as of 2/1/11. It's a new year and I WILL have a body I'm comfortable in this summer.
