Weigh-In

Hi All,

Just weighed myself this morning and I officially weigh 187.2! Which means I have lost 2.8 whole lbs this week!

My target goal was to lose 2 lbs per week, so losing 3 for sure let me know that I'm doing something right. I am aiming to eat healthier foods and eat all the way up to my calorie goals this week, and I'm also hoping to add weight training into my exercise, so maybe I'll lose even more this week, maybe not, who knows.

I am buying a scale today as well, to weigh my food for more accurate calorie counting.

It's an exciting experience, though, and I am NOT disappointed in losing 3 lbs, that's for sure!

Happy monday to y'all.

HAUL VIDEO!

Hey guys! My haul video from Walmart is FINALLY up!
I look like a total goof and I have no clue what I'm talking about but I don't even care because I'm proud of myself for having the courage to put myself out there and actually put up a video that YOU GUYS are requesting! 

MUCH LOVE but it's 3:30 AM and I MUST sleep now! I've decided I'm going to get my nose re-pierced tomorrow :) Night night xo

All U Can Eat / Tanpopo Review

So last night my boyfriend and I decided that we'd go out to a nice dinner because we don't go out for really nice sit-down dinners.

Tanpopo (the restaurant we went to) is located in our favourite area (English Bay) and is a fancy upstairs type environment.

This was a "planned cheat meal", but I actually did pretty well and stayed away form the rice and sugary things. I went for the all meat, sashimi and bbq and the food was so-so. It wasn't great for the price ($30 per person) especially since we live in the biggest sushi city in the world probably.

None the less, it was a nice night and I even skipped the DQ Blizzard he insisted we get afterwards.

It is now Saturday afternoon, and I am enjoying my family's leftover wonton soup from the Chinese food they ordered while I was out last night (if you know me at all, you'll know I can't resist Chinese food...especially sweet and sour pork.......) Anywhooo I didn't get any and there was none left (thank god!) but I am content with this soup.

For breakfast this morning, I actually attempted juicing.  It was pretty good!

1 small apple
1 large carrot
1/8 med pineapple
1/2 med cucumber

I also added 1 scoop of this vanilla rice protein powder stuff, but it tasted HORRIBLE so I scooped it out as best I could luckily before I mixed it in.

Lots of people on MFP have been requesting I do a haul video from my trip to Walmart, so I am going to do that after my lunch.

Love y'all! Thanks for the support

New Workout Outfit! & Haul Video

Here's the new outfit I got today from WALMART! Haul video will be up tomorrow! Goodnight Y'all!

Hello All! First Post

Hi all,

So, I realize that some of you may know me and some of you may not...either way I thought I'd do a welcome/get to know me post.

My name is Lauren, I was born in 1996 and I am currently struggling a lot with my weight.

I am 5'3" ish and as of 3 days ago, I weigh 190 lbs...my heaviest weight ever.

I have gained a lot of weight in the past 2 years since my sister passed away of cancer, and even more recently due to the loss of my grandmother 1 week ago. She was very dear to me and we were very close and I miss her a lot.

I am leaving for uni this august to Liverpool, England to study music and become a performer.

My goal is to do what I love which is singing and voice acting, but I feel like my weight is holding me back A LOT due to confidence issues which are very obviously important to this career.

Anywayyyy this blog is dedicated to me turning my life around and getting myself to where I was 3-4 years ago at 137 lbs and then down to my goal which is 120 lbs.

I currently use a fitness app called My Fitness Pal and that inspired me to make this blog. Everyone on this blog are amazing, lovely, supportive people and it's honestly such an amazing community to join even if you are already at your goal weight, or you want to bulk up.
If you'd like to be my friend on MFP, you can add me here but please add a message with your friend request or else it will get ignored or deleted.

Today is day 3 for me, but starting tomorrow, I will be posting pictures and recipes of all the food I make and eat, as well as my gym tips (I am going to the gym 5 days a week).

Thanks for all the support so far, I'm so appreciative and excited to start this journey and meet new people along the way that are in the same boat as me and understand where I'm coming from.

Love y'all

xoxo
Lauren
