Me and Oprah Reaching 60!!
Oprah and I both reached major milestones this week. She turned 60, and I lost 60 lbs! To celebrate, I thought I would post a few things I've learned along the way. To set the stage, I started this journey in September, 2012. I was 213 lbs. I am currently 152.8 lbs as of today. I am also nearing 43 yoa (yikes!!). I still…

Plateau Info: I don't feel so bad now!
I have been struggling for about the last 8 weeks or so with a plateau and in searching for ways to break through it I have often found people saying to watch for "calorie creeping" or allowing myself to become complacent with my eating and letting my calorie intake creep up.

I have been on a plateau for about 6 weeks and have been trying to follow the usual advice about eating a bit more, changing up my workout routine, drinking plenty of water,…

I've lost my dog!!
I've lost the equivalent of my furry, four-legged baby! Our Katie weighs about 25lbs, and as of this morning I am down 24.8lbs total. It sounds kinda funny but it's a good visual gauge of progress! :flowerforyou:

Scale Victory...Small but Significant!
I just had to share this today. I have been on this journey to get healthy and drop some weight for a little over 21 weeks now. I started at 213 lbs and it seemed an insurmountable task to lose enough weight to be considered "healthy", much less to just be "overweight". Seeing that "OBESE" classification glaring at you…
