50 lbs. down! in 6 months!

Thanks everyone! Your words mean so much to me. I do elliptical every day. I started out at just 15 min. I am now up to 100 min. I have not missed 1 day on my elliptical since Sept. 1. I try to eat as healthy as possible. But, I don't completely deprive myself. I keep my calories around 1200, but I don't beat myself up if I go over a little. Because I know I've done so well on the elliptical. I drink my 8 glasses of water a day or more. I do lots of crunches to get rid of the mommy tummy. I also do arm exercises to battle the bat wing arm syndrome. I stopped drinking cokes. I do have an occasional Diet Dr Pepper or Dr Pepper 10. I have 4 boys ages 19, 14, 7, and 3. I want to be healthy as an example for them and to enjoy being their mom. I am a more active mom now. They are my motivation. I gained the weight over the last 9 yrs. after having 3 miscarriages and going into a depression. I still get sad when I think about my losses, but I need to be here for the children I have on Earth. It has taken a long time, but I have pulled myself up out of this hole. I will enjoy life and take care of the body God gave me. 30 lbs. to go!

Thank you! All of you! I still can't believe it. I wonder how good it will feel when I post my final goal pics in March. Then, I hope to be able to say 80 lbs. down in 10 mos.!

Thanks, everyone! And tdaddybarlow, we always try to dress up for super hero movies. We were going to see Thor in that pic. My 2 yr. old had long blonde hair and really thought he was Thor. He got his first hair cut a month after this pic. Now, he thinks he's The Flash. This year, we all went as DC characters. He was The Flash, My 7 yr. old was Green Lantern, my husband was Batman. I was, of course, Sexy Robin! LOL! We have fun with it. I think if I hit my goal weight, I'll be Wonder Woman next Halloween! haha!
