Let's Do It!

Alrighty then. (Jim Carey, Ace Ventura : Pet Detective)

It is a new year as we all know, and I think that I have lost the "easy" weight that was being held onto by my steroids. I came of the steroids almost a month ago and lost about 7-10lbs very quickly with out trying. Now is the hard part... loosing the extra weight that is not because of the medication. Now I have to loose the fat in my legs and belly and tone all the muscles. All I can think is "aww crap". The one thing I am lacking to do this is motivation which will hopefully come soon.

Here is the most recent picture I have taken. 

I hope to be able to go down a size or two before summer. While I need to loose a little weight my mind isnt really set on a number but the look of my body unclothed. Hopefully that will help with the motivation and stress. 

Good Luck Everyone!

Kassie's Workout Day 1

Okay so I barely just survived day 1 of my new self imposed workout program. 15 minutes doing stairs, which includes another 5 minutes before for warm up and 5 after for cool down. 25 minutes in all is a great start. By the end of this I should have the best looking ass on the planet!

My inspiration: Rob songs... Nothing like a little Rob music to workout by.
My goal: Go down 1 pants size by the Breaking Dawn DVD release party.

Day 1 down... If the weather cooperates I might get to rollerblade on Friday woohoo!

How are your workout regiments working? What are your inspirations? Goals?

PS: I'll update later with my before pic... for now I'm gonna hit the shower.

My Progress So Far

I am the world's laziest blogger!

I know I am.

I may not have been blogging, but I have been keeping up with my Alli and my healthy eating habits. 

I thought it was time to compare pics.

So the first picture was taken last spring and the second was taken today.

Spring, 2011

Today - 1/2/12

I've lost nearly 20 pounds, and I know there isn't a dramatic difference, but enough for me to feel good about the progress I'm making - however slow it is.

The Scale

Hey Everyone!
I hope you all are doing well on your journey to smaller sizes! My aunt shared this on Facebook this morning and I thought it was hilarious. Remember, its not always about the number you see on the scale but also HOW YOU FEEL!

I am praying for us all as we deal with this struggle in our lives.

Good Luck
Katie

Had to share.....

Things are going great here!  I ran out of Alli and I hate to spend $50 on it when I know it will be coming for free soon.  So I'm going without it for now, and guess what!  I lost 2.5 pounds this past week!

Then today, I went to log in to my alli Communispace where we check in, chat, etc.  And I found this!

This week's weekly weigh in thread featured my weigh in post from last week.

I was so surprised to see it up there.  

And I did go from 217.2 to 214.7 this past week!

Woohoooooooo!

Have a great week everyone!

Just say no!

That's what I keep telling myself. :)

Checking in.....

Hey everyone!  Just stopping by to check in and see how you are all doing.


School is kicking my ass, so my blogging has definitely taken a back seat.  I've decided that I'm not going to stress about it.  If I have something to blog about, I will.  If not, then....oh well.  


Anyway, I do have something to blog about!


I just wanted to share some news.  A few weeks ago, Alli posted a link on their Facebook page saying that they were looking for 300 participants who would be willing to take Alli for 5 months and be willing to participate in an online support community.  In return, if accepted, the participants would receive a 5 month supply of Alli for free.


I have tried Alli in the past, and despite all of the horror stories you may have heard, I did not have any of the horrible side effects.  Honestly, the side effect only affect you usually if you eat more than 15 grams of fat in one meal.  Believe me,  the possibility of having an incident of bowel leakage, will keep you on the straight and narrow!!!!  My biggest problem was just remembering to take it.  So anyway, I went ahead and filled out the application, and guess what?  I'm sure you already have!  I was accepted.  I'm really excited!

So while I am waiting for my free Alli, I did have some left from using it before.  So as soon as I was accepted, I began taking it again.  And I'm happy to say that I have lost nearly 2 pounds.  I know it doesn't sound like much, but the way it's been going for me lately, it's a triumph.


How are you doing these days?
