Weight Loss Blog from Lynn of Lionesse Pride
It's been a week or so since my last post. Since my last post I have finally gotten the scale to reach the 30's!! So now I am officially 139! So 11 lbs down since June/July. Very excited about that. I can kind of see changes in my body but not much. I have lost a couple inches here and there but not anything to go crazy about. I am a little frustrated though with people telling me I look fine and don't understand why I want to lose weight. I know they mean well, but when I am buying jeans that are bigger than the ones I wore last summer (and I do this every summer) than something isn't right. I don't hold the weight in my upper body, it's all in my mid section and butt! And when I had to damn near unbutton my pants just to breath one day sitting at my desk, I knew at that moment it was time to make a change. And it wasn't about to be, buying a bigger pair of pants!! So I look at my "new" life this way. I am working out 4-5 days a week now. I feel more energized and happy. I drink water more than ever and I am actually taking vitamins for a change! I probably have fast food once a month and it's only if I HAVE to for some unforsaken reason and I make better choices in what goes into my mouth. My biggest piece of advice to give to anyone reading this is, if you want to have a healthier lifestyle and reap all the benefits that go with it, then by all means just make it happen!! I know it's easier said than done, but what is stopping you. You really can do it!! It really is a commitment, but it's for you. Food cannot be in control of your life. It just can't!! And exercises is just getting your booty up and moving those legs and arms. You really can change your life no matter how much you have to lose♥ If you need extra motivation please come join me and the sisters at Lionesse Pride! www.lionessepride.com

A couple weeks ago a friend and I decided that we really needed to drop the weight and keep it off for good. Being that we are both in our 30s now, kids and all, we weren't getting any younger. We have been trying to lose weight for 7 years now and once we start we never finish. I came to the realization that the reason why I never stuck to the plan is because life changed on me a lot and when it did I ALWAYS fell off track. When I first started my weight loss journey I was only 125 lbs. I am 5'3 and always have weighed around 110-115. When I first started noticing my pants getting tighter I decided to join a gym and start working out. Of course that didn't last long and over the years I would gain little by little. Now I am at 150+ and if I don't do something about it now then I will definitely be heading toward 175 or more in the next few years. I have to take control of my life NOW.
Since me and my "soul sister" Kiki decided to lose weight together we vowed to be there for one another and not let the other one slip up. We realize that we will have our ups and downs but in the long run we will have each other to pull us through to the next day, week and month. When we told our friends and family that we have decided to once and for all change our lives to a more healthier and active lifestyle, we were surprised by how many friends we had that wanted to jump on board with us. That is a great thing, because the more support you have the better! We decided at that point that we should create a facebook page so all of us could support one another through our journey. It's so nice to have daily motivation and support from people that are also striving to reach the same goal. We decided that we would open up our page to women only and invite members that shared the same struggle and needed extra support. We even created a website!
I truly believe that this is the beginning of a new me. It's been two weeks now since we started the page and the group has grown to 47 members from all over the U.S. I have since made extreme changes in my life so far. I have not had any alcohol, I only drink water and green tea. Sometimes I will have a diet soda once or twice a week. I have exercised 5 times a week so far. I also stick to 1200-1500 cal per day. I make healthy choices when eating out and I have even gotten my roommate and my boyfriend to start exercising and eating better too! I am so excited to continue my journey and I know I can do this! Especially with the help of my soul sister Kiki and my group The Lionesse Ladies Club.
