I am no longer obese !!

I've been on this journey for 5 months. started at 216lbs, just hit 179 today, which means I am no longer obese!

I had slowed way down since Christmas, was getting pretty bummed. Changed things up two weeks ago, added weight strengthening, and Bam 5lbs gone this week (weigh in this am)....I was floored, never have I lost that much that quick. I cried (which I don't do, I'm not a person who cries. I think it's because I really didn't think I could/would do it. I've tried so many other times, and so many other things, and failed.

My planter facitis is gone, my leg pains are gone, I can walk upstairs without getting out of breath. I have more energy (even after I work out for 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day). Now I'm looking forward to the next 44 pounds to be gone, and the changes that will bring. There is a bike ride coming through our town this summer 80 miles a day...my sons and I are talking about riding one day....WOW! I can do this, Maybe even in a pair of cute little riding shorts!
