Belated Weigh in Wednesday
I have been falling behind on my weigh in Wednesdays, but the boys broke my tripod and I’ve really been wanting to catch up with a video. But I have so much to share with you! Here is the full image from above showing you me after 8 months of dieting! 6 Month Diet I …
Master Grocery List
My homework this month has been to create a Master Grocery List as I’m still trying to learn to get beyond my struggles with menu planning. I am doing my master grocery list on 3×5 cards because I’m making a tool box all on 3×5 cards. It includes recipes, things that are working for me, motivating quotes, and hopefully soon I will include exercise routines.
Next week I hope to be announcing a great new event that I will be having on PepperScraps. Make sure and subscribe so you don’t miss out!
5 Amazing Websites for Losing Weight
No video today. Instead I’m going to be sharing 5 websites I have found that are helping me through my journey. These sites are everything from blogs to communities that have helped me with finding recipes, encouragement, and help me keep going.
My Fitness Pal – I’ve talked about this site before on my videos but this is one of my favorite sites right now. If you join and don’t have friends on the site you are missing out! I have so many great ladies cheering me on with every loss, every good food day, and every time I clock in my exercise! Also on top of that you can keep track of your food and exercise on the site or on their app! It’s just awesome!
Skinnytaste.com – One of my newest finds and one of my favorite. This is a great blog for recipes. She has awesome photos (which I have learned make a big difference to me), good instructions, and the nutrition breakdown (including WW points).
Food.com – Another site you have probably seen on my blog if you have been here very long. I have tried lots of recipe sites but I always go back to Food.com (formally Recipezaar). This site is the best site for photos of the food, for easy to read ingredients and instructions, and for sifting through the 10000s of recipes.
The World According To Eggface – An amazing blog by an amazing lady. Michelle had RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006 and she writes about post surgery life and shares great recipes.
Pinterest – This last one you may be wondering how it fits with the rest of these sites. But I have to tell you Pinterest has been one of my favorite sites to find recipes, link up to recipes and find encouragement. I can just pop in low carb and can find tons of dinner ideas, then I just pin them to my Yummy board. When I’m making my menu for the week I go back to this board for inspiration. It’s great! (This site is invite only but if you want an invite just post it in my comments.)
Those are five of my favorite websites right now.
To Be Continued
Today I weighed in at 242.4 which means I have 27.6 lbs! I’m feeling it in my clothes a bit and can see it in my torso. I’ve been feeling a lot better also, which is a combination of the weight loss, the good food, the vitamin D & B12, and better sleep. I’m also now starting to add exercise to my routine which I will probably talk about next week. In the next few weeks I also hope to share some favorite recipes. So stayed tuned!
Please subscribe to my blog if you would like to keep up with my updates and weight loss tips.
Do you have an awesome diet, food, or WLS resource? I’d really love it if you would share with us!

My 2 month weigh in and building a tool box.
What to wear to an entrepreneur event?
As you may have noticed if you visit here often that I’m losing weight. On top of that I’m going to an entrepreneur event today so that meant I needed to go shopping!
I decided I wanted to wear my Target leggings which are super comfy and cute. I have them in gray and black not sure which I’m going to wear.
I wanted to add my striped cardigan from Lane Bryant, because I think it’s cute, it’s not too heavy or too light and it hides things.
But after those two items, I had nothing! Most of my shirts are worn, too loose, too tight, or proof that I’m a Mom with tiny hand prints gracing them. I couldn’t show up in just leggings and a cardigan sweater!
I ran out to the mall, the boys (hubby included) played in the play area while I shopped. I finally found what I needed a cute fuchsia top that I had eyed Lane Bryant’s website and loved! I quickly snapped it up. I also ordered it in teal blue and grabbed up some needed cute panties to be able to use my $25 off $75 coupon.
Did I mention that my fuchsia shirt matches my business cards! I know I’m crazy like that.
But alas my shoes were in no shape after a very long, wet winter. I pouted to my hubby and bribed him to take me to DSW shoes, which was my first time there. As we parked he asked me if I could be done in five minutes. Really?
But I flew through the store and found the perfect spring/summer shoe. It will work for dress up or dress down, I got it in black so it will go with everything! On top of that they are so super comfy! It’s been a long time since I bought a pair of designer shoes. I have to take good care of them, so hubby sees I just need to buy nicer shoes, that I go through shoes like crazy because they are cheap!
