I started my weight loss journey on March 11th of 2013. I have lost a total of 40lbs! I have also been able to reach another goal of mine, which is getting my engagement and wedding band off. They have been stuck on my finger for a year! I really needed to get them off to fix the band. Anyways! I still have 41lbs I want to lose to reach my goal. Hoping to achieve this by the end of the year. :) ALSO I am 6lbs from onederland and could not be more thrilled to be coming back to the 100s after being in the 200s for 4 years.

    Wow; what did you do to loose 40 lbs in 3 months time ? I've just started less than a month, 3 weeks to be exact and I've only lost about 4 lbs, you are an inspiration !

    On the first day, I cut out ALL drinks other than water. I ate 1200 calories for the first 2 months, and worked out 5-7 days a week for at least an hour each day. I always break my diet (eek I know, but it works for me). Towards the end of the second month I became way to obsessed with my calorie intake that I decided for this next month not to count ANY (scary, right??). Well I assumed my weight loss would halt or that I would gain, but I still lost just at a slower rate. My goal is about 10lbs a month. This month I also started a BUSY summer semester in school, so I haven't made it to the gym in weeks. I took up running around my neighborhood, at least a mile 5 days a week, to compensate. I try to stay active like taking my son to the local greenway to walk or even parking in the back of the school parking lot for a little bit more of a walk. Really I think it takes consistency in eating and working out. There is no secret thing I am doing. Just working out when I can and making better decisions about food.


    I meant to add my stats!
