It finally happened today. I've lost 10.2 pounds since I re-re-re-re-re ((get where I'm going with this?) started. Usually, I would lose about 5 pounds, become discouraged, give up, gain the weight back and then some.

I'm not giving up this time, I never will again. I'm the heaviest I've ever been, but I'm also extremely motivated and I feel good about this. It doesn't matter how long this takes or what I have to go through, I will NEVER be this weight again. I owe that to myself and my future.

    Yay! Great work! I bet it had something to do with what kind of exercise you were doing, or a certain type of food you were eating. I increased my calories burned and cut my carb intake in half and two weeks later, I was 3 lbs lighter! If you keep it up, you'll get to your goal weight soon enough. I'm willing to bet a year, MAXIMUM!!!

    Great motto to live by or at least refer to on your journey. A success is a success plain and simple and you should feel damn good about it!

    Ten pounds is fantastic! It takes a lot of effort to take that much weight off.*pat on the back*
