As I continue on with my weight loss journey I have become very interested in obesity and our youth and how much of an issue it is. I want to help! And my thinking is-if I am able to reach out to just one kid, help one person get through the bullying and the hard times of being overweight/obese then I will be happy.
And then take them down a road of getting healthy and fit for THEMSELVES not for others! Thats the most important thing to me, at least.
Check it out and pass it on to your young ones about teen bullying due to weight/obesity! We can change the world, we really, truly can!
For some strange reason blogger wont let me just post the video I'll try to fix it later, but heres the link to it for now!! :

Happy Halloween Weekend!
I LOVE HALLOWEEN! As I get older it's slowly becoming a favorite holiday! As I get skinnier costume shopping is getting easier too ;)
Yesterday we were out all afternoon so I had a salad from a restaurant. It was quite yummy! And salsa works as a great dressing - I haven't stepped on the scale yet but ya know what, family time and seeing my brother perform on stage made it all worth it.
Just because we are on this new lifestyle doesnt mean you have to stop enjoying life, it doesn't mean we can't have fun with holidays, we just have to realize that food isn't the only way to have fun anymore!
But getting home at bar close with friends stopping for french fries is still tempting but...I must resist! (french fries were my weakness and I can't believe I havent had one small bite of one in over 5 months!)
So blessed. Stay happy. I love yall!

What a beautiful, what a beautiful mess I'm in...
Hey!
I hope you all have been doing great-I have too! Feeling great. Sorry for the lack of posts...my computer died. And then my back-up computer didnt work :( so much of a backup!
Oh well. BUT! I have stuck to dukan and these pass two weeks I have lost 7 lbs! And on Oct13th I hit my 5th month anniversary with Dukan! A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!
I cut back on unsweetened cocoa - which may have helped, but its mainly because they stopped selling the special dark cocoa lol so oh well.
OH and I dont know if I checked in with yall about the size 10 jeans that now fit me, from size 20 to 10 in five months! WOOHOO! If I fit into a size 8 by christmas I'll cry. True fact! lol
Off to do some ab workouts...

Sigh.
I feel like that bad girlfriend who says she will call and then never does.
I haven't posted in forever!! SORRY FRIENDS!
But I'm still at it losing steady actually. I've lost 4.3 lbs in the last three days. Which is amazing!
I'm not really sure what's the difference is, except I started pilates again and I drink chai tea with 2 tbs of skim milk and sweetener each morning.
So maybe that changed things up? My size 12 jeans are getting too big...but heck I'm not complaining :)
Tonight for dinner:
Stuffed hamburger and tofu fries
Dessert:
Vanilla cookies! Yum!
I've been eating really great lately and I am super proud of this new lifestyle.
Sigh...I'll be a better girlfriend and post more....
...at least I'll try my best!
How is dukan treating you all? Happy Autumn!!!

51.2 lbs lost so far!
Hey loves!
So yesterday I did it-I lost over 50 lbs! WOOHOO! And I'm still going strong planning on hitting my true weight come december. Man...it feels good. We recently went shopping and I got a size 12 pair of jeans...from a size 20 in May of this year! WOW!
And my mom's size 6-yes 6-jeans are becoming too big!
It feels really good to be fit and healthy. My gosh--just think where all of us on this journey are going to be in 6 months? or a year! or 30 years! WE ARE MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES! We are choosing a life of happiness and a stronger future.
We are choosing ourselves.We are choosing life. And that is the best choice in the whole wide world!
If you are having struggles here are my tips of the day:
1. Breathe. It will be okay! Trust the process.
2. Back to the basics-do a day or two of only white meats and very lean proteins.
3. NEVER EVER EVER give up! The hardest part of the journey is normally the moment right before the miracle.
Trust in yourselves, you can do it. You truly, truly can!

Football Season! Appetizer recipe! Jalapeno Poppers! :D!
I love love love these yummy treats!!
Jalapeno Poppers Recipe:
Ingredients:
12 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise, stems and seeds removed
1 8-ounce ff cream cheese
6 slices of reduced fat bacon (or turkey bacon-I'm personally not a fan of turkey bacon)
1/8 cup shredded ff cheddar cheese
Steps:
1. Preheat Oven to 375 degrees. Fill up the jalapeno peppers with cream cheese.
2. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese
3. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each pepper with bacon.
4. Toss in oven for 10-15 minutes (until bacon is cooked through) We flipped ours halfway through.
5. Enjoy! We had 12 and share with 4 of us, so about 3 peppers each! It's great for football parties, and we have been making these for years! The family (even the non-dukaners) are always asking for us to bring them!
