Something I never knew....
I started my weight loss journey one week before thanksgiving at 319lbs. Life was difficult on me at this weight. I was constantly tired.....constantly frustrated and constantly eating. It has been a journey of self discovery. One that I could not have imagined four months ago. As is the case with many of you...it has been…

I was able to do 20 mins high impact kickboxing. :sad: :love: While I'm just barely breathing, I am super excited because I can remember just a month ago doing 20 mins of Richard and I was about to pass out.

Finally!!!
I'm back on track and I'm so proud of my progress this week!! This is week 5 for me and its been a rough 5 weeks with little loss (4lbs in 4 weeks). Yes I know that's normal, but it was so frustrating because one of those weeks I gained 2lbs. So this week I increased my calories (I wasn't eating what I should, and with the…

I set out to do it, and I DID IT!
I stepped on the scale today with a feeling, even though my weigh-in day isn't until tomorrow. When I looked down at the scale I almost cried it read 150lbs. It took me 11 long months to get here. It was diffficult and easy at the same time. I've gone from 209lbs to 150lbs, a size 18 to a size 10. My waist has shrunk to a…

Old Jeans
I put on a pair of jeans today and didn't even realize they were ones that haven't fit in 2 years until I got to work. They were the jeans I kept in my closet just in case one day I woke up and had lost the weight I gained over the last few years. They were the only ones I hadn't gotten rid of because it felt like I was…

Ok, so when I started my weigh in # was 5 lbs lighter then my new scale said.......so I started measuring my weight last Friday (bought my own scale)........it registered at 249 ish (ok 250) and I am guessing that seeing as I started 15 days ago, it is likely that my original weigh in was a lil over 250, I didn't have my…

No WAY!
I weighed myself today, and I am 164.5!!! I thought the # was wrong, it HAD to be, so I weighed myself again, and again, and again. All 164.5 I know some could just be daily fluctuation, but I haven't been under 170 since before I got pregnant with baby #1. Even then Imy lowest was 169! I don't feel like I LOOK like I've…

MY FIRST KICKBOXING CLASS
I decided to go to the gym today. Normally I workout at home because I am too embarassed to go. But I have to tell you. I GOT MY *kitten* KICKED! Now I have taken kickboxing classes in the past, it was more like an aerobics class. But this class was the REAL DEAL! The trainer is a 17 year amateur boxer. We started with…

My son gave me the best compliment!
Last night I was in the living room and I heard my 22 year old son say "You're pants are so tiny!" I got up to go see what he was talking about and he was taking my jeans out of the dryer so he could use the dryer. He said, "You're pants are so tiny. They're so cute. They look like little tiny teenager pants." :laugh:…

I am sooooo proud of myself!!
I recieve a tin of really yummy cookies for a big purchase we just made. I ate only 1 (rather than all of them) and brought the rest to work where everyone else can eat them!!! I think I am actually ready for change this time. Usually I would keep them and eat all of them in like 2 days. Michelle
