Before And After – #NSNation Update – Week 17
If you read the post prior to this one, you will see I talked about being involved with Lands End with Swimsuit Confidence. I’ll admit it, sometimes it is hard to feel good about yourself in a swimsuit. However, as I’ve learned, we are often harder on ourselves than we are on others. I have to learn that I am never going to be that perfect airbrushed pictures we see in the magazine (and for that matter, neither are the celebrities that are in those pictures). Instead of looking at where I still think I am fat, I am going to concentrate on what I have accomplished so far. That being said, the best way is to show you. Since I’ve worked with Lands End for a while, I have a swimsuit that they sent me last year around this time. It was a 26W:
I loved that suit. That being said, I did try it on, and it’s too big this year. I ended up with this swimsuit this year:
This suit is a 18W. Now, I’ve been complaining that I can’t see a difference. Well, I can see the difference in these two photos! I’ve even noticed that some of the new clothes I bought are getting too big on me now too! And yes, it is still hard to put on a swimsuit and post it on the internet, but I did it anyway!
THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 2.4 lbs
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 40.2 lbs

Feeling Good About Shopping – #NSNation – Week 11 Update
When you are heavier, shopping is a nightmare. The majority of my wardrobe was black clothes. Why? Because they don’t make clothes if you are larger that are stylish and most of them have huge floral patterns that wouldn’t look good on anyone! Now, I still hate shopping, but it is soooo nice to walk into a store and actually find things on a rack.
As many of you may know, Madison’s first communion is in less than a month, and since my weight loss, I’ve got nothing to wear! While I was in Green Bay this weekend, we went clothes shopping. Again. This time it was to find a dress. I will also need a dress for Bill’s brothers wedding in September.
Since we were looking for dresses, we headed over to Dress Barn. We were there about 2 hours and I swear I tried on at least 50 dresses. However, we scored! I found 2 dresses that I bought there! This is the dress I got for Madison’s first communion:
This is the dress that I got for Bill’s brother’s wedding:
It was so nice to find things that looked good on me in a size 16! I couldn’t tell you the last time I wore a size 16, and I can only thank Nutrisystem for this! Now, over the weekend, I ate out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I was a little worried about what I was going to weigh in this morning at. I watched what I ate and made smart choices. That being said, I lost an additional 2 pounds! Nutrisystem has taught me to make good food choices when I am out (now, they are going to recommend that you don’t eat out but sometimes you can’t help it. Like when you are out of state like we were).
THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 2.0
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 29

#NSNation – Week 9 Update – All About The MiniGoals
My overall goal when I joined Nutrisystem was to lose 100 lbs. I’ll be honest — when I started, I didn’t know if that was even an obtainable goal. Every time I’ve tried to diet in the past, I didn’t do so well.
With Nutrisystem, I was given the tools to succeed, and one of the recommendations we were given was to make minigoals. Yes, that 100 lbs would be great. However, I (and you) need something that is little closer at in grasp. So, I am actually going to reveal my minigoals to you all. For me, that is incredibly hard to do. In my warped brain, if I tell people my minigoal and don’t achieve it, then I’ve failed. Except I know that I haven’t, but my fat brain hasn’t figured that out yet. (And I call my brain the fat brain because even with everyone telling me how much weight it looks like I lost, I don’t see it!).
So with sweaty hands as I type this, here are my minigoals that I set up for myself:
- Lose 25 lbs.
- Lose 50 lbs.
- Lose 75 lbs.
- Get below 200 lbs.
- Get out of Plus Size Clothes
Here’s a little video I made letting you know what goal I beat!
As you can see, I’ve hit my first mini goal. It took me 9 weeks to lose 25 lbs. Now, that 25 lbs was no where near as daunting as 100 lbs or even 50 lbs. That is what this is all about. I can celebrate that I lost 25 lbs. That makes me proud to tell people.
When you lose weight, do you set minigoals? What minigoals do you set for yourself? Any minigoals I should add to my list?
THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 1.4
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 25
