I started this adventure back in May as I was at my heaviest. I wasn' feeling good and my confidence was in the toilet. I was to get married in July and to be honest I didn't want to look back at photos from my wedding day and be completely unhappy with how I looked. I am a full time EMT so unfortunately I have a pretty inactive job. I used to work out a lot but right now I am finding that eating an very low calorie/low carb diet is working for me. When I start to work out I feel like I have to double my intake and I usually end up plateauing instead. I'm currently focused on weight loss. I will focus on toning later.

August 8th: 184.6
August 13th: 182.8 I'm not doing much to really lose weight at this point.
August 31st: 181
I did't track much this month. I was having a really hard time getting in the swing of things.

Total Loss for August……………… -3.6lbs.

September 4th: 181 Still not doing much, I keep saying tomorrow but my will power to walk away from the junk food in the EMS rooms has not been there.
September 8th: 179.6 I'm getting there
September 9th: 179.2 been walking away from the junk food:)
September 16th: 178.8 super excited that I'm still making this happen but i need to step it up
September 22nd: 177.8 even better. Finally drinking sufficient amounts of water
September 24th: 177.2 Every little bit counts
September 25th 175.6 I have been really good about walking away from the junk food. Trust me this can be really hard at 2am. This is really exciting! I haven't been below 180 since 2012.
September 30th:173.4 had a few beers on Saturday and went out for Mexican food on Sunday. Slacked on O2 consumption the last few days.

Total Loss for September…………..7.6lbs pretty happy with total loss for this month
