Hello to the few who read,
OK, so i have fallen off the Dr. Poon Diet Miserably :( i just got so bored of all the same foods and so upset at not being able to eat ANYTHING everyone else eats, so i just stopped, and i ended up gaining 6 Lbs, so i stopped and thought about it for a few days, i needed to figured something out before i gained back the whole 52LBS i had lost, so i decided to start weight watchers, but on my own, i started yesterday and already lost 3 of those 6 Lbs that i had gained back! I like this system better as i can eat everyday foods as long as i stay within my points, i know lots of people who were successful with this system and alot who were not, but the same goes for dr poon or any other diet out there. I think i have the will power to, correction i KNOW i have the will power to follow this as i was able to cut myself off from EVERYTHING i loved for 5 months and lost 52LBS! However, if this system doesn't give me the results i am looking for, i know have the knowledge of Dr.Poon and can still go back to the Clinic as long as its not longer than 6 months! I think its important to your mind and your body to switch things up once in a while, otherwise you may go crazy and crash so hard that you end up worse off than before you started, and for me there is NO going back to being 286LBS, i gave away all of my bigger clothes, only clothes i have now are a little big, fit just right and a couple pairs of jeans i still need to lose to get into, i REFUSE to give up on my weight loss, my next summer i will no longer be ashamed to wear a bathing suit or a pair of shorts and a halter top, i will be able to walk in heels like i have always wanted to but never could because there was too much weight on my ankles!
my next big goal is to be under 200, and i am now 38Lbs away, i want to get there before the new year, but the new year is fast approaching so i think that goal may be a little far fetched considering i have already lost 52, well 49 as of right now...anyways i thought i would just update the few who read on where i am and where i plan to go with regards to my weight loss, i may have given up on Dr Poon for right now, but i have not given up on myself:)
Thanks for taking the time to read

September Update
Heeeelooooo,
Sorry i have not written in a while, i just kind of figured that no one read, but after talking to a few of my friends they all tell me that they read my blogs and watch my vlogs and look at my food pictures, so that's so good to know..Thanks:)
So here is my update, i didn't make it to 50LBS loss by my cousin's wedding, i think i was at about 46Lbs loss, but in my opinion and everyone else's, i still looked amazing, i had my gorgeous red dress on that i had bought from Le Chateau, i had HIGH wedged shoes on and i felt fabulous! Had the TIME of my life!
My confidence has gotten so much better now too, i have a higher self esteem and i actually make time for myself now, i do my hair, i wear make up i look in the mirror and actually see a pretty girl, been a long time since i could do that!
My last couple weigh ins were not that great, only lost 2 Lbs each time and i know exactly why, i went to the wedding and ate to my hearts content, that whole weekend actually and ended up gaining 5 Lbs, so i had to work super hard that week and ended up losing 7Lbs but obviously at the office i had only lost 2 because i had gained 5 between the weigh ins! Anyways, i do know HOW to get back on track after i fall off track...its just having the will power to not fall OFF track in the first place that i am struggling with a bit! I guess with the end of summer and all the celebrations lately it has caused me to cheat, but as long as i don't allow myself to get back to where i was i should be fine..i have been doing good this past week ( with the exception of an ice capp and a bagel for lunch one day) I started school on Tuesday, i need to upgrade to get into the college course i want( Teaching elementary) anyways there is a Tim Hortons and a KFC right by the school, i didn't bring anything for lunch so i went to timmies, i know i could have gotten a wrap or something healthier, but i really wanted to try the new sun-dried tomato, asiago Parmesan bagel, so i did with LIGHT cream cheese..wasn't worth the cheat, it was good, but carbs make me feel like CRAP now and eating that destroyed me BLAH, never again, learned my lesson!! But i do walk to school and back everyday! Drop Andrew off at daycare and continue on my way..today i had to go to the pharmacy which is about a 25-30 minute walk or 10 min bike ride, i decided to attempt to bike ride...my legs with like jello when i got there, its not like riding the exercise bike in the gym for 10 minutes at all!! But when i got back home, i felt great, a little sore but great! i also weighed myself and for the VERY first time saw 236LBS, do you remember what i was when i began?? 286LBS so i have OFFICIALLY hot my 50LB mark!! YAY, i have been sitting at 45-48LBS for over a month and just been telling everyone i lost 50 because i was close enough to it, but now its OFFICIAL! im so proud, now all i can think of is, if only i can get rid of 37 more LBS, that will bring me UNDER 200Lbs!!! That is my next BIG goal..my first BIG goal was to lose 50Lbs and i did that in just over 4 months, wondering how long the next 37 will take me, i just need to work harder and exercise more, drink more water and stay strict with my diet...
well im going to post a few pictures for you, a couple before and afters and some wedding pictures
Thanks for taking the time to read i really do appreciate it ;)
