I have officially lost 100 lbs!!! I can't believe I can actually say that. From 278.8 lbs. on September 19th last year to 178.2 lbs. on September 17th this year. It has not been perfect and I'm definitely not done, but this is such a huge accomplishment for me. I am so happy and proud and excited!!! These are the same outfit, the only difference is that on the right, I'm wearing medium leggings and on the left I was wearing 2X. Well, that and that I feel like a completely different person now. 🙃 I am so proud of myself right now!!

Birthday gifts as an adult are weird. I gifted this to myself to keep myself accountable (and so I can’t lie to my fitbit or food tracking app) Swayze gave it a good sniff to make sure it was ok. . . . . #aria2 #fitbit #fitbitaria2 #chargehr2 #smartscale #scalevictory #fitnesstech #noidontweighmyselfeveryday#yearofjenn

Thought I'd share my new yoga mat with y'all before christening it with a session of Piyo. Feeling so amazing as I have dropped 4 pounds this week! Haven't measure yet this morning but it still is such a great feeling. It feels so great to be making more progress. #weightlossjourney #makingprogress #feelingsogood #feelingincredible #newyogamat #piyo #timetoworkout #shakeology #beachbody #4pounds #weightloss #motivation #iammorethanenough #pilates #yoga #sohappy #becomingahealthynerd #reclaimingmyhealth #makingprogress #scalevictory

I’m up a little bit from Sunday when I hit 178, but I’m assuming that’s because my body decided to celebrate a year of weight loss by starting my period. 😑I’m actually feeling thankful for that right now though because there were years that I was gaining the bulk of my weight and I didn’t get a period at all. It was never regular in high school, but after high school, my eating habits got even worse and I just stopped getting it altogether. As sucky as it is, I’m thankful for having a healthy body that does regular healthy things now.

Down 3 pounds this week! It wasn’t perfect by any means, but being active again feels good and my food was more on point than not. Just goes to show that you don’t have to have an extreme life makeover to lose weight. Just consistently do the best you can and you will see results!

September 19th: 278.8 lbs. One Week Ago: 194.8 lbs. Today: 194.2 This Week: -.6 lbs. Total Loss: 84.6 lbs. It's a LITTLE something, but at least it's something. A small loss is still a loss. It's been a ROUGH two weeks since 4th of July. It actually started in the days leading up to the 4th and continued until last Sunday. There were a few good days and moments sprinkled in there, but overall, my lack of nutrition and exercise has been pretty terrible. I would love to think that I would never let myself go back to where I used to be, but sometimes I’m scared of how easy it is to fall right back into old habits. As for right now, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. I went to the doctor on Monday and the nurse was so excited when I told her my starting weight. She actually got teary while we were talking and told me how happy she was for me. Shout out to Nurse Sandy for helping bring me out of my funk and helping me remember how capable I am!

4 lbs?! After last week’s weigh-in, I increased my calories to only lose ~1.5 lbs/week instead of ~2 lbs/ week and instead, I lost 4! I was really starting to feel like I wasn’t getting enough food, and apparently the increase in calories was exactly what my body needed! You don’t have to completely restrict yourself to lose weight, you have to nourish and fuel yourself. I’m coming for you, 100 lbs!!
