When i lose 5 pounds im just going to work on losing 5 more and try on everthing in my closet that i couldnt fit last month. My husband gets back into the states off of deployment in 2 months I want his mouth to drop open and the drool roll out!! He has been away for a year.

I did really well this month. I lost the 5 pounds I wanted to lose and learned a little about how to keep up the good work. I hit a snag in the last week, and it has helped me reevaluate what I am doing to lose weight. I earned the shoes I wanted and I look forward to earning something awesome next month as well. This blog was a lot of help, because I was able to see how I was doing each week, and I am finally under 190 again. So here's to another good month and hopefully getting under 185.0 -
