weight loss — Mamavation

What this teacher was taught by Mamavation

May 23, 2013 By MommaHunt16 1 Comment

I can’t believe that my time as a Mamavation Mom is coming to a close it is shocking how quick the time has gone by and how much I have learned from this experience. I was asked to come up with my top ten list of things that I have learned from Mamavation and I can honestly say it was hard to keep it to ten things because I have learned a life time of lessons in just these few short weeks. So here we go

10. I am finally ready to make a lifestyle change and get healhty. There have been a 1000 times that I have started down this path but I am in the right place, at the right time, and Mamavation has helped make this a lifestyle change for me

9. Eating food with fat in it won ‘t kill me, in fact it will help me loose weight and feel full

8. When I was eating carbs, and which ones was impacting my ability to loose weight. I now eat my carbs early in the day and only eat healthy “good” carbs which has helped me loose weight

7. Making a lifestyle change was not nearly as hard, and expensive, as I thought it would be. For me this wasn’t a diet but how I was going to change my families life and move to a healthier more eco-friendly lifestyle.

6. My family will support me no matter what even when I start to change their diet and put me first

5. The scale is not the only measure of weight loss success-Even when the scale doesn’t move your measurements can go down a lot and show you that you are loosing, just not on the scale.

4. I am so f-ing proud of myself and I see that in the confidence in which I now have.

Look at me rocking my new dress!

3. I am so much stronger both physically and emotionally than I ever thought I was

2. In the past I have talked myself out of doing so many things and I have missed out on too much because I said I can’t. This campaign has taught me that I CAN

1. 100% of this is Mental and I can do it!

So thank you Mamavation for all the support and confidence you have given me over these last few weeks. Now I will leave you with my standard weigh in picture. It was a really great week for me in terms of weight loss.

Prepared to take the Wheel!

May 22, 2013 By LaundryDayBlues 2 Comments

Throughout the course of this campaign I have learned many things about myself. I have learned that I CAN lose weight, without the assistance of a diet pill or crazy fad diet. I have learned that the key ingredients to my success have been in my hands all along, I just had to learn how to use them.
The top ten things I have learned from this campaign are:
1. I LOVE drinking water. I’m actually quenched by it. Shocking right? When I drink nothing but water, I actually find I do not crave anything else.
2. Portions can be hard to eyeball. It’s funny how I could constantly be under my calorie needs prior to this campaign, and yet, I could be overeating certain things at the same time. It was like shooting myself in the foot. Twice. I’m still measuring things out until I get better at it. And it doesn’t bother me or really add time to the cooking process.
3. Strength training is more important than I thought. I always kind of ignored it in the past. But now that I have been working on building muscle, I’m losing weight in a different way than I ever have before.
4. Planning meals is critical!
5. I need rest days.
6. I always have time to work out. Even when I think I don’t.
7. Keeping track of my steps every day has helped me make sure I am always moving.
8. Sharing my journey with those around me not only encourages others to make healthy lifestyle changes, but keeps me accountable to the changes I have made.
9. What I am eating is just as important as what I am doing to keep active. If I put garbage in, I’ll get garbage out. If I put good food in, I’ll feel great, and work out harder!
10. I am the only one who can determine if I will reach my goals.
I know I have said it before, but I think the most surprising thing I have learned is that under eating can actually stall weight loss by putting your body into starvation mode. All my life I have heard of people starving themselves and dropping weight. I’ve always heard that to lose weight you should eat under 1200 calories (wrong BTW). Learning that the amount of calories required to maintain your body each day varies depending on your size and activity level, was surprising, even though it makes a lot of sense. But the fact that I could not eat enough and not only not lose, but actually gain weight. Yeah, that was shocking! I’m very glad that I now know a little bit more about the proper way to fuel my body. I’m glad that I can teach my children the proper way to eat now when they are young, and hopefully they will never find themselves in my shoes, but will enjoy this new lifestyle of being healthy, and carry it with them as they grow.This past week was pretty great. I had a tremendous weigh-in Sunday, dropping another 4 lbs., bringing my total for this campaign to 10.8 lbs. gone for good! I am feeling pretty awesome and hope I can keep this momentum going until I reach my goal weight! With all the wonderful support I’ve received so far, I have no doubt in my mind that I will do just that!

It’s All in the Family

May 15, 2013 By LaundryDayBlues 9 Comments

We are now entering Week 5 of the 7 week Mamavation Mom Boot Camp. I cannot believe it really. The time has just flown by! During the time I have been engaged in the boot camp, you might say my family has been just as engaged! The workouts and diet changes are more than just a passing phase, but a lifestyle change. In order to be successful, everyone in the house will have to make some changes too. Really, it’s been a positive change here. We are eating better food, being more active, and just feeling better in general! Also, not spending money of junk food or fast food, has allowed us to spend more on fresh produce without feeling it in our wallets!
Since changing the way I eat I had to change the way I fed my family as well. So we’ve eliminated a lot of starchy meals, such as pasta with bread, or mac n cheese with bread, or meat, potatoes, and bread. Um do you see a pattern here? I ate a lot of veggies before this boot camp, but it was often just a part of a meal, not a major component. Now I am trying to make sure our meals include protein and fiber. In the past I might have made meatloaf for dinner, with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and biscuits. Guess what I ate? Mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a biscuit. Healthy huh?
In addition to changes in diet, I’ve been working out a lot more. At first it was frustrating. Trying to get in my workouts, while still taking care of my family and housework was a bit daunting. But once I found a time that worked, that was it. It is now part of my daily routine and oftentimes my kids will encourage me or even join in. So that part has been fantastic because it seems everyone is happy when mommy is happy! And when I work out, I am a happy mommy!
The most difficult part of this campaign is, not surprisingly, related to food. As you know, I have 5 kids. My husband works long hours, and has a bit of a commute. So I often felt like I didn’t have time to prepare meals when we were rushing off to an activity for the kids. In reality, I have time, I just haven’t done my homework and planned out our meals as much as I should. When I do plan meals, we eat good food. But when I fail to the kids often wound up eating something processed, or fast food. I often would just not eat. So I have been making a more concerted effort to think about what I will make each day. I’ve been shopping at a produce store instead of my beloved big box store. It feels weird, but at the same time not. I guess I didn’t realize how much crap I was buying until I stopped!
This last week I had not been measuring out my food as I should, and looking back I can see I was not hitting the target for calories each day, or exchanges. I am working on that now, and hopefully the scale will reflect that this coming week. Last week I had a 0.2 lb gain. I am still down 6.8 lbs since applying to be a Mamavation Mom. I am determined to reach my goals, and I truly feel that I will very soon, now that I am finally seeing for myself how important diet really is in my weight loss journey.

Making Changes to my Priorities

May 9, 2013 By MommaHunt16 3 Comments

Before I get started today-I wanted to take a minute to wish Lindsay our other sister well. Sadly Lindsay can’t continue with us and I wanted to wish her well as she heals from her injury.

My stack of grading that I mentioned in my Vlog

This week’s topic is to talk about our struggles we have encountered since becoming Mamavation Mom’s. Although this journey has been an amazing one-it has also been tough. For me my struggle has been with reordering my priorities. As I said in my video, my priority list would be
1. My family
2. My Work/Students
75. Me

When I was chosen it became clear that the above ranking system would not work with having all the workouts, creating proper food, and all the support meetings. I needed to reorganize the list to look something more like this
1. My family
2. Me
3. Work
4. Everything else

The only issue is by moving me up….it makes me feel….well uncomfortable. I feel like I am letting my students down because I am not working as hard for my job as I use to. I know in truth my student don’t notice the difference other than it takes me longer to get papers back, I know that my family doesn’t feel slighted by me putting myself higher on the priority scale. It is just hard to get rid of our old habits and make new ones. I just keep telling myself that I am going to be a better mother and teacher for getting my health in order.

So as far as this week goes, I only lost .02 and lets just say I may or may not have called my scale some very nasty words. Then with some encouragement from my Mentor Rebecca suggested that I measure myself. I did…and damn! I lost over five inches in three weeks. That sure as heck makes up for the small weight loss.

So here is my scale pic and my stats! Have a great week everyone.

Date	Weight	Weekly Loss	Total Loss	Waist	Chest	Thigh	Hips	Arm	Inches Lost
Application	227	-		40	44	30	51	15

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

May 8, 2013 By LaundryDayBlues 9 Comments

The title of this post is a great quote from Theodore Roosevelt. When I see it I think it fits nicely with where I am right now in this journey. Half the battle is trying. Half the battle is choosing to fight. So right now, we are halfway through this boot camp, and because I chose to apply and believe there was some slight sliver of a chance I might be chosen, I told myself I could do this. And look, I am doing it!!
This past week was my third week as a Mamavation Mom. I will tell you this week was hard. It was hard for a few reasons. I was sad to hear my friend and Mamavation Sista Lindsay had injured her back and was unable to continue the boot camp. Of course, I wish her well and I know she will continue to have success in her weight loss journey. The other reason this week was hard had more to do with my mental state. After a couple of weeks of pushing my body further and further into an uncomfortable territory it was ready to give up. I was exhausted. Each day I would get up and psych myself up to do my workout. I found that focusing solely on getting through that one workout was what allowed me to break past the exhaustion and the desire to give up. And as soon as the workout was done, I was good to go again. The other wonderful thing I was able to do to get past these moments of frustration was to talk with the other Mamavation Moms, past and present, about how I was feeling and what I was struggling with each day. Having someone as an accoutability partner when you are developing a new routine is a great way to set yourself up for success!
I have always heard that a habit is formed after repeating something for three weeks. I think that this is where I am right now. I am forming these new habits. I get up and do something right away. I might work out, I might run; but in any case I am burning calories before the sun is shining. Well maybe shortly thereafter! I am not skipping meals. I am thinking about what I am putting in my mouth. And please don’t let that statement fool you. When I say thinking about what I am putting in my mouth, I don’t mean obsessing over calories and that kind of thing. I mean being thoughtful about what my meal is composed of, and eating as closely to nature as I can. All of these things have been simple changes to make, little things. But put together, it has made a very large impact. I feel amazing and I am losing weight!
Speaking of loosing weight, I lost another pound this week. Bringing my total weight loss to 7 lbs since applying to be a Mamavation mom. I am just about halfway to my goal weight now. I was also very excited to note that since I got my scale after joining Mamavation in January I have lost 20.2 lbs!

And while this weight loss was thrilling, it was not my only victory this week. We had some non-scale victories as well. Starting right here:

Start Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Total Change
Weight 158.6 153.8 152.6 151.6
Bust 36 35
Waist 31 30
Hips 39 38
Arms R-11.75 L-12 R-11.0 L-11.0
Thigh R-20.5 L-19.5 R- 19 L- 17.75

So in 3 weeks I have lost 7 lbs and 7 inches!! I am pretty pleased with my results thus far and cannot wait to see how much further I can push my body in the coming weeks! Where would you like to be in three weeks? “Believe you can and you are halfway there.”

Eating More to Weigh Less-For Real!

May 2, 2013 By MommaHunt16 12 Comments

Hello -it has been another exciting week around here at Mamavation. Although personally this week has been a bit rough now that I am back in the full swing of things at work and keeping up with all my resposnibilities of being a Mamavation Mom. Yet, despite the crazy feeling I am really loving that although the program is tough (it isn’t called boot camp for nothing) it is managable in real life.

Shockingly one of the most manageable pieces has been the food. Alyssa (find her on Twitter and Facebook) started out by giving us exchanges-Each food we eat equals a carb, protien, fat etc. We were assigned a certain amount of each at each meal and snack. Then this week to help us out she gave us a few meal plans to work with. This has helped emensly because I am always looking for new food options. The craziest thing about the whole food plan is how much good I eat and all of it-wait for this-is full fat. Like I am eating real peanut and almond butter, avocados, and healthy oils. Shocking right! Well there is a whole lot of scientific mumbo jumbo about why this works Let me tell, who cares. I am eating good food that I know is good for me and my body is loosing weight. Yeah! So before I get to the down and dirty of my totals for this week I thought I would include a sample menu for you to take a peak at-I have including a few food porn pictures for those of you into that stuff!

Breakfast: 6oz of Almond yogurt, 1/2 cup granola, 2 TB unsweetened coconut, and 1 cup strawberries

Lunch: 3oz Chicken breast, salad greens, four TB of Avocado, 1/2 cup black beans, and 1/2 tortilla with and apple not pictured

Snack (not pictured because I am eating this as I type) 8 almonds with 10 baby carrots

Dinner-3oz pork loin chop, roasted fresh golden and regular beets, and grilled pineapple

Night Snack-Small banana and 1TB of almond butter

Sounds and looks yummy right-Seriously I ate food like this all week and lost 1.4 pounds for a total of 4 since starting. I also apologize my phone was being cranky so I had to call up my weight post WI-hence no toes in this photo

Date	Weight	Weekly Loss	Total Loss	Waist	Chest	Thigh	Hips	Arm
Application	227	-		40	44	30	51	15
2-WeekChallenge	229	_	+2.0	38.5	43.5	30	51	15
Start of Campaign	227.4	-1.6	+.04	38	43	29.5	50	14.5
April 19^th	224.6	-2.8	-2.4
April 26^th	223.00	-1.6	-4

Hope you all have an amazing week and I am hoping my hard work pays off in another nice loss

REAL good food is REAL easy!

April 30, 2013 By LindsaysFamily 11 Comments

Before becoming a Mamavation Mom, I ate a lot of processed boxed foods, but I am happy to say that 98% of what I buy now can be found in the produce, dairy and meat departments of the store! Very rarely will I go in the middle isles of the store, in fact the only thing I buy there are my almonds, hot sauce, bread, and some things for the kids. I used to think how the heck do people just shop the perimeter of the store and make meals out of it? I won’t lie and say everything I eat is REAL food, but I am transitioning and I eat more REAL food than not, which is progress. Which is good! As Leah says,”It’s all about progress, NOT perfection.” Good thing, because I don’t know anyone that is perfect, do you?

Are you curious about the types of foods I eat as a Mamavation Mom? I will share a few here for you, but you could head over to the Mamavation forum where I journal EVERYTHING: sleep, water intake, workouts, steps, and food as well as my emotions!

So here is a typical day for me!

Breakfast:

1 Fruit: 1/2 banana

1 Fat-Free Milk: 1c. I put it in my coffee

1 Starch: 1 Slice of cinnamon raisin toast

1 Lean meat: 2 egg whites

1 fat: 1 tbs cream cheese

Lunch:

1 Vegetable: 1/2 yellow bell pepper and 1/2 c mushrooms

1 Fruit: 3/4 c Blackberries

1 Fat-Free Milk: 1 c milk

1 Beans/Lentils: 1/2 c black beans

3 Lean Meat: 3 oz chicken breast

Afternoon Snack:

1 fruit: gala apple

2 fat: 12 almonds

(all packed and ready for the park)

Dinner:

2 Vegis: Mixed vegi’s

1 Fruit: 1/2 pear, grilled (OMG SOOO good!)

1 Fat-Free milk: 1 c milk

3 Lean meat: 3 oz Tilapia fillet

2 Fat: 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil (used to saute the vegis)

Evening snack:

1 Vegi: Sugar snap peas

2 fat: 3 tsp natural peanut butter, water, worcestershire sauce, cumin, onion powder

You know what the best thing is about all of these meals? They took a half hour or less to make!! That’s right, you can eat REAL food and not be in the kitchen cooking for hours! Being a busy mom with 3 really little ones at my feet, I just cannot be cooking all day, so this is a major plus for me!

A HUGE thank you to Alysa for putting my meal plan together and teaching me that eating healthy doesn’t mean that I have to eat bland, that it can be done and can be easy! You can find some pretty amazing recipes on her blog, Inspired RD! You can also find her on Facebook and Twitter!

I’m A Mom-A Mamavation Mom

April 19, 2013 By MommaHunt16 13 Comments

Hello everyone-My name is Erica (aka Mommahunt16) and I am so excited to have been chosen one of the three moms for campaign 16! It sure has been a wild ride to get here and I couldn’t be more proud and scared that I have been chosen. Yet, before we get to the proud and scared, lets start at the beginning shall we.

Why did I do this….there are two reasons. The first is this….

Yikes-Mama needs a Pedi

This BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEPING number. I have always hated it. I hate it now, I hated it ten years ago, I hated it when I was 12. I have always had weight issues and I have always had a stigma about this number. I know now one really cares about that number but me, but it haunts me. So shortly after my daughter J was born I realized I needed to get my act together. I didn’t want her to hate that number and herself because of the number on a scale. I spent a long time in therapy dealing with my self esteem issues and my eating issues. Yet, despite all the mental work that number didn’t move. So I decided it was time to make a change and so something. So I joined Mamavation and shortly after decicded to apply to be a Mom-I needed the help and the support that comes with this process.

My other reason for trying out to be a mom…….These guys!

Mom and Miss J

Mom and Master D

I mean how cute are they! They are my world and I want to be the best mom for them and I know that means being happy and healthy. The reason I was so drawn to Mamavation was because it was a group of other moms who knew that being a mom is great motivation to get healthy, but is also often your greatest challenge because of all the demands being a mom means.

Ok now back to what I said at the start of the post…I am so excited to be picked. I know that this community will support me in my journey and be my cheerleaders. Both Amy and Lindsay are amazing ladies who I know would not mind that I already consider them friends. Yet, I am also scared. I have never been so good at loosing weight (hence the number on the scale). I am scared that I will let you down, the Mamavation Team down, and myself. I did promise myself thought that I would get my big girl panties on and give this my all for the next seven weeks. I just want to say thank you again to the Mamavation Team for believing in me enough to be one of the Moms and I hope to make you all proud!

Before I go…..here are my stats and my before pics (please feel to divert your eyes here folks this is not for the faint of heart)

Seriously is that a baby bump

Begin at the Beginning

April 18, 2013 By LaundryDayBlues 16 Comments

Hi! My name is Amy. I am a wife and mother of five. I spent exactly 193 weeks of my life being pregnant, in a span of 7 years. During that same time frame I spent 27 months breastfeeding, which I liked to call “eat whatever you want dieting”. And then I resigned myself to being overweight simply because I’d had 5 kids. Just like so many of you here on Mamavation I am unhappy with my weight. For too long I have allowed my own excuses and bad choices to control my weight loss. No more excuses! I want more than anything to take back my body, to take back control and be the best me I can be. I want to set an example of how to live in a healthy way, and I feel my body should reflect that. The Mamavation community has given me such a fabulous start on my weight loss journey and I really hope to reach my goal by the end of this campaign. I would be so honored to have you support me during these next 7 weeks!

When I started my journey with Mamavation back in January I was 172 lbs.This picture was taken at Christmas. My first reaction was, “Wow, what an unflattering picture!” Then a couple weeks later, I bought a scale and was shocked by the number staring back at me. I really thought I was about 150 lbs, and somehow I was off by 22 lbs. No wonder I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes!

That was such a hard number to wrap my head around. When I was gave birth to both my 4th and 5th children I weighed 180 lbs. Both boys were OVER 9 lbs at birth! I couldn’t believe I had let so much weight creep up on me. I was determined to do something about it. I struggle most with my diet. I think that is probably pretty normal, but in my case I was definitely eating far too many carbs and not enough proteins. And not enough calories in general as well. When I applied to for this campaign my weight was 158.6 lbs. On Sunday, I was pleased to weigh in and see the number below (Please ignore the cat, and the lack of nail polish on my toes!). Yay for losing 3.6 lbs thus far!!

I am wicked excited about having been chosen as one of the Mamavation Moms. I plan to do everything in my power to take full advantage of this amazing opportunity and shed these excess pounds! And now I will share with you a picture of my adorable little loves because they are far cuter than my feet and you need to un-see that right now!

Are they not the most gorgeous little creatures ever?

My Before Pictures

Please ignore the lovely face I was making, I hate having my picture taken! Apparently so much so, that I scowl! Lovely!!

And of course here are my beginning measurements:

Waist: 31 inches

Hips: 39 inches

L thigh: 19.5 inches

R thigh: 20.5 inches

L Arm: 12 inches

R Arm: 11.75 inches

Chest: 36 inches

To Leah, Mark, Shelley, Shannon, and Alysa: Thank you again for this amazing opportunity! I hope to amaze you all with my results! And to the wonderful mentors, thank you for your support and guidance!

A new beginning

April 17, 2013 By LindsaysFamily 26 Comments

Hello! My name is Lindsay. I am a 32 year old mother to four pretty cool kids, ages 14, 4, 3, and 14 months, and wife to an super smart amazing husband. We are a multicultural family and are pretty dang proud of it. When I met my husband I was 135 lbs. We started trying to get pregnant immediately after we married and was quite successful. I found out I was pregnant in December of 2007 and not soon after was put on bed rest, where I stayed for 30+ weeks. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in my early 20′s and the surgery that was required to remove it caused me to have an incompetent cervix. As soon as my cervix started to thin and dilate my doctor placed a stitch there to keep my baby in, but this meant bed rest. I seriously only got up to shower and use the bathroom. It was totally worth it though because this is what I got out of it all:

Fast forward 5 months when I realize my period is late. I take a pregnancy test and sure enough, I’m PREGNANT. I cried! Shhhh don’t that tell my little man. Again I was placed on bed rest and got this reward:

Needless to say that was ALOT of laying around for 2 years. I gained weight. A LOT of weight. I couldn’t even tell you how much weight. I was just starting to make progress with loosing some of it when I found out I was pregnant with my youngest (whom will always be my youngest! HA) I of course had the same issues and was again placed on bed rest and diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes to boot. I had a really though time keeping him in, even with cerclage (stitch in cervix) and he was born at 35 weeks. He was in the hospital for a few days longer than me but was healthy.

I am now done having babies and am ready to take my body back. I want to be around a VERY long time for these precious little blessings. I want to be able to run around and play with them in the back yard and not be out of breathe. I want to set a good example of what health is and gain back the confidence that I once had. I am so excited to have been given this amazing opportunity! I promise I won’t disappoint!

My before pics:

Starting Weight:

Okay so this pic was taken this evening. I swear this morning it said 205 :/

Starting Measurements:

Waist: 39.5″

Hips: 46″

L Thigh: 25″

R Thigh: 25″

L Arm: 14″

R Arm: 14″

Chest: 42″

A special thank you to Leah, Mark, Shelley, Shannon, and Alysa for giving me this amazing opportunity and to the graduates of campaign 15, my mentors, I love you and look forward to your encouragement!
