"We Are The New Vintage"
So after reading Roxy's post, she has really inspired me to start my own weight loss journey thread.
First of all I am new to PL and I love having such a wonderful group of people to interact with! Everyone on the site has been so welcoming and I look forward to getting to know as many members as possible! So let me introduce myself. My name is Kitty Pratt and I am a Texas girl! I work as an Artistry and Sales trainer for a cosmetics company and I am on the road 42 weeks a year. So restaurants and fast food are a way of life for me. I also recently got married... and with that got reallllllly comfortable... and gained 30lbs in a year! I have already lost 7lbs in the last 3 weeks. I booked a shoot with Roy Varga to motivate me to jumpstart my weight loss. Well I finished the shoot last Friday, the pics turned out great because Roy is amazing, but I also really noticed how much weight I have gained in the past year. In addition to that my husband just left for Baghdad on Wednesday and I have been an emotional eating machine ever since! So now is the time to re channel my emotional energy and turn it into something good. My hubs will be back in July and I have my 10 year high school reunion that month as well.
So here is the plan:
Big Goal: Lose 25lbs (Get back to my pre wedding weight)
Short Term Goal- Get back to the 130's (11lbs)
Starting Line Stats
Size: 10
Weight: 150 (eee just got on the scale and gained 2lbs since Wednesday! put down the cheetos Kitty!)
Bicep (flexed) 12 1/2
Bust 40 1/2
Under bust 35
Natural Waist 32
Belly Button 36
Hips 48
Butt 41
Thigh 22 1/2
The Plan:
-Eat around 1200 calories a day. I am doing Nutrisystem with a twist. I travel 5 days a week and am always around bad food choices, I am packing Nutrisystem food, but I am realistic and know I won’t be religious with it J. 2 lbs a week would be a perfect number to lose per week.
-Workout, Doing something everyday… I have a few workout vids that I can do in a hotel room and just got a gym membership to use at home.
-Eat less fast food and cut down on my Diet coke intake.. (I drink at least 4 a day!!!) So I will be giving it up soon for Lent
-Drink at least 80oz (or ten glasses) of water a day.
Alright, so week one starts tomorrow. Wish me Luck!

Hey Ladies - I'm so happy to see women motivating each other to do something healthy! It sounds like you are really committed and working hard - so commendable! I've been training for a little over3 months now - I'm up to 5 days a week in the gym doing cardio and lots of strength training. For me it's never been overeating, or eating bad foods, just not eating enough, or drinking too many calories (oh, alcohol!). I reached a turning point when I started working with a personal trainer. We meet every 4 weeks or so, but I see her at the gym for weekly classes. It really is a great motivator and offers the workout guidance I've been missing. My trainer keeps telling me to get off the scale and concentrate on feeling good and the rest will come. It's working - I'm a lot stronger and my body fat is dropping. I wish you luck, but I don't think you need it - just keep doing what you're doing! cheers!
