Lose it or MyFitnesspal, maybe spark people

I am now trying to decide which app I like the best for my food journal. I have to say I have liked weight watchers in the past but at the moment I just cannot afford it.

at the moment I'm using both the lose it and MFP app I like that it has a scanner so if it has a barcode I can scan on both, I have created a sparkpeople account but have not really used it

Starting Fresh June 2012

I keep getting off and on the wagon with weight loss

I have been so off it lately

Other things like work and school are going well towards my road of trying to find a new me

My mom passed away in August of 2011 and my life has been pretty yuck because of it, But like I said school is well I have completed 2 semesters towards my BSW that is great, I am also working as a personal care aide part-time during the school year but pretty much full-time this summer.

I had a physical with my primary care physician we that depo birth-control is a big fact in my weight gain.
both my Gyn and primary care wish for me to try the mirena IUD and if that fails I am going to do  sterilization, I do not want any more kiddos, I have an 18 yr old son and a 5 yr old daughter I am good, plus in December I will be 35, not in any type of committed relationship, I am good with no more babies besides I may be a grandma anyways we will find out with DNA when the baby is born.

Anyways the theory is that now I am off depo hopefully I can shed some pounds, also am joining at the Y again on Friday when I get paid I can pay the membership fee's and start up, I think swimming at first and some treadmill walking.

I also went to a seminar for bariatric surgery, and I have a consult on July 25, I do not know if this is the route I want to take but I do want to be informed greatly. A friend did it and said the only regret is she didnt do it sooner

doing good

This 1st week is going well I lost 6 lbs.

so giving up soda has worked well, I have been very tired lately though and I think I need to add a multivitamin to my regimen.

I will start posting pics again when I get back to my original weight loss.

So

Today I ate egg and cheese on a plain bagel for breakfast, totally should of had it on an english muffin or like a wheat bagel but its totally better than eating two corn muffins from Heavenly Donuts (kinda like dunkins but better in my opinion)

Probably the last of the beef stew for lunch and I need to figure whats for supper as I need to take the meat out now if I want it ready to cook for supper, so do I want steak or pork the other white meat? or chicken again, I could make chicken alfredo?   I think steak and a baked potato

... I know these aren't super healthy choices but its what I have in my house and its cooking at home and not ordering out, which next month should save me money, I am going on a trip to Arizona in May the trip is free but I still want to have some money and not be broke while there.  being a few pounds smaller or back at where I was before I started gaining again would be good.

There is the guy that says I am beautiful the way I am that has been distracting me from losing weight but just like i can't get thin for a man, I also can't stay unhealthily over weight for a man either.

I don't want to be super skinny, I want to be healthy and feel good in my own skin

Still Job Hunting

I had an interview last Thursday and now I am waiting on a call for the second interview.

My car keeps breaking down so I am so broke, I still owe some back money to the gym and can't go.

today I found an app on my phone to keep track of my points, this will make it so much easier.

my doctor put me on depo provera birth control and I seriously need to fight the effects gained some weight now that I am on it. I gained back 15lbs yuck.

I am concentrating on not drinking soda yet again and cooking at home instead of eating out so much, I made beef stew in the crock pot for supper yesterday and it was my lunch today, tonight its chicken and garlic herb noodles and peas

finished my associates degree in Human services

So I finished my degree but school kicked my ass and totally got off my get healthy lose weight curve.
I also believe some other contributing factors didn't help me with my weight gain.certain people saying I am fine the way I am. which is nice but I am not I am at an unhealthy weight.


I am planning on starting back at the gym this week and I am contemplating WW again



However I am also Job hunting and looking for a college to Transfer to and continue with my Bachelors degree
