Today I hit 40 pounds gone!

So very excited... I started my weight loss journey at 195 and today I weighed in at 154.4. I am so thrilled..As I sit and reflect for a moment I have a huge smile on my face. Although my journey isn't without frustrations I am doing it and proof it can work. My weight loss has been slow..I think I've finally realized I'm not eating enough to sustain how much working out I am doing.

A year ago I could barely walk around the block. I am now running, thats right running 3.5 miles at least 3 days a week. On other days I do elliptical, swim, or walk. I crave exercise, I love exercise, it is my new found hobby.

Best of all, I am healthier and so much happier. I love making good food choices and learning about fitness and nutrition.

I still have 20 pounds to go to be healthy. I now enjoy looking in the mirror instead of avoiding it. I can see the transformation and others are always commenting too..

Never give up, even if you get discouraged or fall of the wagon..
