My weight journey.

Part 1

The journey I thought I would never be on. I thought I would be skinny forever. Yeah I was wrong. I turned 21 and the weight creeped on. Then at 25 I had my first daughter.

For those that don’t know me I was 100lbs at my heaviest in high school. Then those freshmen 15 in college came on. At my heaviest I reached 199lbs. Did I mention I’m only 5’1 on a good day. Lol When I got pregnant with my oldest I ate for two. Okay more like for 5.

Along with gaining weight I LOST my confidence and had low self esteem. I thought I’m never going to lose this weight. But with hard work I lost weight . 50lbs in 8 weeks. Crazy right, well my husband went to boot camp and I started my own boot camp. Started walking and eating healthy. Husband joined the Army!

He lost weight, I lost weight , it was perfect. Then we moved and I got pregnant again and he deployed. There came the weight again. This time I ate for 3, that’s better than 5 right! Pregnancy made me so hungry and I had no self control. It didn’t help that my husband was in a war zone. Stress eating at its best. Once he came back I tried to lose the weight and just couldn’t. It was harder to lose this time.

That’s when Advocare came into our lives. This was in 2010. I did my first 24 day challenge and lost 20lbs. That’s without working out, just eating better. My husband lost 30lbs but he worked out. I was able to maintain this for a year then the weight came back. When they say consistency is key, they mean it.

Day 1 of my 24 Day Challenge! After being essentially bedridden for the past 7 months with Mononucleosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, I'm stoked to be able to finally get up and get moving. The problem is that I've put on 15 pounds in the last 7 months of no activity and poor eating habits consisting of anything quick and/or sweet. Enter the 24 Day Challenge... Breakfast: Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake with Soy "peanut butter" and unsweetened Soy milk. Lunch: Hummus and Carrots with grapes Snacks: Chocolate Protein powder with soy milk, apple Dinner: Spaghetti Squash with Turkey Meatballs Workout: Stair Climber for 10 minutes, various upper body machines in my boyfriend's crowded gym 🙄 Today's takeaways: EAT MORE! My metabolism is so slow now I am having a hard time eating enough. My lunch was pretty puny so I really need to work on that tomorrow. I still don't have much energy but forcing myself to get up and get moving does make me feel better. Going back to the doctor tomorrow to check up on the mono!

Day 13 of 24 Day Challenge

I just wanted to check in with everyone with a little update and some positivity in the event anyone also has hypothyroidism and feels frustrated all the time with gaining, bloating and exhaustion. I have spent three years looking for the right endocrinologist meanwhile packing weight on, losing my hair, losing my muscle mass, and also at times my mind :)

That being said, losing weight was actually impossible, and after months of Thyroid medication, monthly blood tests and still gaining all the while, I stumbled upon Advocare last year. I had done a 24 day challenge and lost 9 lbs and several inches off my entire body. I was ecstatic and felt amazing for the first time in ages. I was finally alert, my bloating was dissipating, I no longer required a daily “nap” where I couldn’t keep my eyes open - and if allowed to do so I could’ve slept for 4 hrs and then gone back to bed a little later. My hair was no longer brittle and falling out in actual clumps. My nails stopped splitting, and my dark circles around my eyes were clearing up.

I enjoyed my new lighter weight and old clothes for a short time, but never maintained my new Lifestyle and stopped taking the magical vitamins (MNS) I then went right back to exhausted, bloated, indigestion, and hypothyroidism to the fullest extent. I’m so disappointed I didn’t stick with it then because I allowed a year of time to pass to gain MORE weight & Feel WORSE than I ever have. Hypothyroidism is no joke, it’s life ruining honestly. Anyway…… I got back on board and here’s what’s happening

Today is day 13 of my 24 day challenge. I’m only down 2 pounds (this is huge for someone who can’t lose an ounce EVER and chronically gains even when eating right) so I’m psyched with 2 lbs gone. What’s better?! I’ve lost INCHES everywhere, my stomach is going down, and I feel INCREDIBLE. This is the way of life for me. I’m not a doctor and I have no idea why this combination of vitamins helps my metabolism work again, but I love it, I love how I feel, and I know I will only lose more over time. Slow and steady is fine with me as long as I’m not gaining anymore.

So to all you women who can’t seem to find a plan to work for you with hypothyroidism, think of it this way (my personal experience) : you can spend a $45 copay for the doctor every month, a $45 copay for your medication, have monthly early morning blood work, never get better, never get thinner & never get healthy

OR you can give this a shot. Yes the first round is pricey for the entire system to get started but pretend it’s the copay you keep spending to have zero results and at least this way in a month you have something to show for it and actually feel fantastic by using VITAMINS. Simply feeding your body the vital nutrients it needs to work properly - it’s a no brainier for me, I’m hooked.

On this 24 day challenge ready to drop weight again..

[kate-will-lose-weight]

Day one is officially complete and I lost over a pound. Almost 2!! Starting at 228.8!! Day one is essentially easy, I was still eating through out the day which helps a lot. The only downfall was all the water. I was never a huge soda drinker, I just didn't drink a lot of anything(which is so bad for my body) I forced down 115 ounces and was peeing constantly. I felt like an old man because I woke up twice last night just to go pee. ☹️ But well worth it to already see immediate results!! Today I will be going on a business lunch to a Mexican restaurant but I already scouted out the menu and I think I can still stay well on track!!

As of today, it is officially 10lbs, but here is one month of progress...take that body fat!! It's always hard to pick up the routine again, but you just gotta do it!! #healthy #exercise #fitness #fitgirl #girlswholift #gym #strength #cardio #weightloss #fatloss #workingupasweat #feeltheburn #sweatingforthemaidofhonordress #eatbetternotless #cleaneating #inspiration #determined #liftingweights #motivation #fattofitjourney #foodisfuel #advocare #24daychallenge

{July 20, 2018} •Day 3: Boy, oh boy to be honest this was tough day for me to and I don't know why maybe it was the above 90* heat and my asthma kicking my 🍑, or if the heat was just making me so sick, but I'm not really sure. Luckily I'd a really caring goon-squad with me in the form of my furbabies🐶🐶🐶🐶 and my little brother👱🏻 Because of the furbabies (and them wanting to show off their bandannas), my brother (who was wasn't feeling too good) and I pushed through it and reached the bottom! A very happy accomplishment for all, especially when you have two strong little girls willing to tug you the long journey back up the hills🤗😉🤣 I gotta say the accomplishment felt good yes, but the bubble bath and then falling asleep after felt even better🤣😅 #PennsylvaniaGrandCanyon #mygreenmonster #PAGC #pennsylvania #nikeshoes #trainlikeabeastlooklikeabeauty #poppilates #blogilates #advocare #21dayfix #24daychallenge #day3 #fitbit (at Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania)

I wanted to post some before pictures that I took this morning. Today I weighed in at 228 and I completed my 1st Day of the challenge and my hardest part is drinking so much water and not munching when I get home! But determination got me through today and it will get me through the next 23 days!!
