So tody marks day 75, I never realized how fast the time has gone by. I am so proud of myself. I have told myself over and over that I was going to lose the weight that I needed and wanted to lose. I know tell myself daily that I got this an that I can do this. I have a wonderful support system and would never ask for better people in my life. This site is so hopefully to me and I am so glad that I found it.
I have finally taken the steps to get the big clothes out of my house so that there is no turning back, no turning back to what I used to be, I am here for the new me. I want to be able to run around the kids and see their life through. I want my children to see that just because you make a mistake in life like I did with weight if you work hard you can acheve anything you put your mind to and here I am putting my mind to lose weight and here I am losing the weight and losing what I need and want to lose.
I go to the dr one week from wed. The last time I went there I was down 29 pounds and now here I am at 50. I am not going going to lie, he gave me meds to help with my weight loss and yes I took them the first month and when I went back he gave me meds for 2 months. I got them and I took them maybe for the first weekend into the second month and then I stopped. I stopped taking them one becuase I know I can do this on my own for I have before and second I couldn't remember to take them. I am now seeing that I can do this on my own with all the love and support from friends, family and this site.
I am here for the long run I am here to lose the weight that I need and want. I have 97.8 more pounds to go and I am here to work 110% the entire time. I am running which I haven't been able to do in a really long time. I am able to do so much more and still be able to breath. Before I couldn't even go down and up the stairs without being so winded.
I AM SO GLAD TO BE WHERE I AM TODAY YES I HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO BUT I GOT THIS AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE.!!!

    You have done great so far and should be proud of yourself. I'm sure your kids are proud of you too. I was never one for pills. If I got myself into this mess without drugs, I can get myself out without them too. It take discipline and focus, both of which you obviously have. Don't stop. I'm glad you've removed the larger clothes from your house. Once I get to my goal size, I'll be cleaning out my closet too (sounds expensive).
