in Introduce Yourself
I started my weight loss journey a year ago! When I decided to start making my life about me, I have 3 wonderful kids ages 12,8, & 5 but I needed to do this for me A year ago is also when I started a new 9 month class to become a medic! My goal was to lose 50 pounds by the end of may. I did not reach that goal however, I have now reached it and exceded it (down 52 pounds). I realized that I was putting to much pressure on myself along with the added pressure from my class. My ultimate goal is to lose 106 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! I know I can do this. The biggest thing that I notice is a change in the way people look at me and the compliments I get! I will never go back to my start weight again!

    Congrats!!! it is a great achievement! A pound per week is the best way to do it! The looks from other people can be encouraging except the stink eye from other women (even my guy friends at work point it out and say "you've been eyeballed again". haha Good luck and great job!!!
