Hi all,
I hope everyone is being faithful to their commitments! You are all worth it and I know we have all worked so hard to lose what we have already lost! Don't ever give up or go back to your old habits. Those habits made me feel tired, lazy, painful in my back, bloated, refluxed, tight fitting in all of my clothes, and frankly just fat! While I still need to lose over 100 pounds, I feel so much better already! I know this is only going to get better, the more I lose!

I found myself this weekend at my son's ballgames walking around eagerly where last year I welcomed that chair where I could just sit for hours. I walked the track before his game while he was warming up and last year that would've never happened. I also no longer sit at home for hours looking at the computer screen playing mindless games and looking at facebook or pinterest. I want to get up and be active with my kids and NOT be lazy. I am thankful for these feelings and I NEVER want to go back!!

I also haven't had cravings for sweets at all and that is amazing to me! I use to crave m&m's, and chocolate and could eat 2 king size in one sitting. That nauseates me now to think of consuming that! I really don't crave anything anymore and that is success in itself!

Yesterday, I took my son to his allergy shot appointment. Usually, we do this after school, but since we are on spring break we went at lunch time. There were so many elderly, overweight people who were on canes, walkers, oxygen and had BAGS of pills. I DO NOT want to be like this as I age, so I have got to stick with this commitment NOW to be healthy LATER! I want to continue the exercise so my body will be ready to age appropriately. This was an eye opener for me!

I am thankful for this program and for the support I have had from all of you! I look forward to our successes and going through this journey with you. Never give up!!! We will be the ones on here next January giving support to those who are just beginning!
