    Congratulations on your loss! You look wonderful! The change is astonishing! :love:

    The scan is interesting. I've never seen one before. I'm amazed at how the whole scan works. Wish I could find one where I live.

    So amazing.. I am inspired. I am 220.. and need to get to 135. I have started, and fallen off, and then started and fallen off. My problem is too much on my plate. As soon as I take ONE MORE thing on my plate.. ME gets put on the back burner EVERYTIME and then it takes weeks for me to get over feeling like crap, and to dig deep to find the fire again. Right now, I'm feeling horrible, again. It's weird b/c when you're waiting for the pounds to come off while you're doing all the right things... it seems like it takes forever.. but when you're doing the wrong things.. you suddenly realized that sooo much time has passed, and you've just wasted that much more time NOT reaching towards your goals. It really makes me sad because it's a sick cycle. I leveled with my husband.. I said, I CANNOT focus on anything else, other than work, school, the kids, and ME.
    We recently opened a business that's taking off like crazy.. and of course I want to pour myself into it.. but once I did.. starting last Thursday, and shifted my focus onto that, ME went so fast onto the back burner.. I stopped exercising.. I didn't' plan my food for the days going to work... all of it. I had some drinks... : ( I'm really disappointed in myself, but in this I had clarity and looked back over time and realized that's it. My plate is full and if I add to it, I fall off course.
    I'm 37 years old in Aug. I have a 13, 4. and 1 year old. I'm in school full time finish up my MBA- have 4 classes left.. and I work full time in a sales job- which pulls a lot out of me. I have a new puppy and then my husband. Anyways, that's my story. I'm embarrassed to say that I've gone through so many programs, trainers.. this is not my first rodeo- after my first baby.. I lost all the weight.. I was exactly where I am now.. but, in the end, I know what to do. I know how to eat. I know how to exercise.. all of it. I did it for years. That's the easy part. The hard part though.. is ME and all that I have on my plate. I'm exhausted. Always over motivated and exhausted. I cannot keep up with my life. So, I'm back on here again, giving everything I got to making ME count first this time. It's a new territory for me, but I think I just have to remind myself to love myself, and I'll make it.
