Put a chalk mark on the board for Crunchy after only two weeks of workouts, I have told the 200s to kiss my royal red bootie! Never again shall I see that dreaded number. That scale might of thought it knew who was boss, but it didn’t realize that it had awoken the beast!
In previous years when that number reared its ugly head, it would’ve resulted in a puddle of tears and a self-loathing pint or two of ice cream. (Counter productive, I know). This time it stirred the Kraken; the inner strenght and determination ( my husband likes to call it my stubborn streak) that is going to get my weight under control once and for all.
Don’t get me wrong, even at 200 pounds, I am still a hot mama. It’s not the weight that’s the issue it’s the fact that nothing fits! I feel like me in a fat suit. Active by nature, life has just gotten in the way. My weight suffered from me putting everything before myself: pizza, ice cream, cheesecake, I mean EVERYTHING! (Ok, so I took the phrase “watch what you eat” a little too literally)
After two strong weeks of workouts and a whole crap ton of water, I climbed atop that familiar foe and with positive thinking set the scale to 150 and slung it all the way to the right. Opening my eyes, I screamed “Hallelujah!” I think the lady getting in the dressing room next to me thought I was nuts. The scale sunk down and declared that 200 lbs. was TOO heavy!
Victorious, I gradually slid it back to the left when it stopped at 199 pounds!!!! So take that flabby foe. Crunchy is one step closer to no longer being gravitationally challenged. Never again shall I see your dreaded number. You, 200 pounds, can officially kiss my slightly less than extra large butt!
This week has been surprisingly easier than I thought. Join by the forces of a workout buddy, my best friend Juliana, and My Fitness Pal. I have really not felt like anything is different except I am more active. I even had not one but TWO pieces of chocolate cake yesterday!

What a great list. Congratulations on conquering the beast – I’m on the same path myself and this time, like you, I have a whole different attitude. Good luck on your journey!
Thanks Cyndy. I would love to hear how your journey goes too! Good luck!
I love those tips. Water is SOOOO important!! My goal weight is 200, but just because 200 SUCKS I think I may make my goal 199.
I’m 6’2″ so I think I can carry 199 well. We’ll see. Good luck on your journey!!
Wow girl. I never realized how tall you were! I am a measely 5’6 so you could definitely rock 200 better than I haha.
A huge congrats!! And your tips are awesome…You have inspired and motivated me to get myself moving!
Thanks Caryn. I promise that it’s so much easier to get moving than you think. Making the choice to do it is the hard part, then sickly you actually look forward to it!

I have been in total workout, lose weight mode myself. I weigh more now then I did when I was pregnant with the twins! I love your attitude and your writing – such great humor!
Congratulations on beating the beast and to your continued success!
Congrats on your mission to lose weight. I haven’t weighed this much since I was pregnant either so I feel your pain! Hope that you keep rocking that scale, can’t wait to hear how you are doing!
