BIG NEWS!!!

Ok, so I have big news.  I have reached my goal of losing 50lbs before my birthday!  Granted, I thought I weighed less before my official weigh in to start my weight loss, so technically I'm still 3lbs away from reaching my number on the scale goal.  Once I hit that, I'll gladly post my start weight and current weight.

I'm super proud of my accomplishments.  There were a number of people that thought I wouldn't last by eating this way.  Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of days where I've just wanted something different.  Like a sandwich.  But then I think about how far I've come and where I was when I was able to eat a sandwich and I know I can't and won't go back there.

Here's a progress photo.  I won't call it a before/after picture because I'm not done losing weight.  I want to lose more and get healthier.



To me, that's a scary picture.  Not where I'm at now, but where I started.  I honestly can't believe I was that big.

Tory has hit his 60lb mark.  I joked yesterday that between the two of us, we've officially lost your average size teenager.  :)

I hope one day, my progress will inspire someone else.  I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I'll get there.  I know how to do it now and I can't wait to see what my end results will look like.

Long time...

It's been a while...I've missed blogging, but my laptop is down and it's hard to blog via my Kindle Fire.  But, I'm taking a minute during my lunch break to write a post.

First of all, I was doing a Commit to Fit competition at work.  Yesterday was our final weigh in and the results were sent out this morning.  I ended up winning SECOND PLACE!  While it's not first place, it's still awesome.  Why?  Because I'm a fat girl that has committed to something and I KICKED ASS.  I was the second highest weight loss winner and had the second highest points.  I'm so proud of myself.  23.8lbs gone in 11 weeks.  Not bad.

On another note...I'm officially down 47.9lbs. I'm about two and a half weeks from my 30th birthday and my goal at the beginning of the year was to lose 50lbs by then.  Well, I didn't know exactly how much I weighed, so I'm happy to report that I'm 2.1lbs away from my 50lb goal, but I'm actually 6.6lbs away from my scale number goal.  Once I hit this goal, I'll list my start weight and my current weight for the world to see.  ;)

Last note for now...I'm so proud of my husband.  He's stuck with this lifestyle change and he's down 57.4lbs.  I can't believe how great he looks!  He can run and play with our kids and he doesn't get winded like he used to.  A few weeks ago he mentioned that when he hits his goal of 100lbs gone, he wants a tattoo.  I'm not crazy about the idea, but I know he deserves something.  I mentioned that he should get a motorcycle instead.  Who knows what he's going to end up with.  But he's doing so good!!  LOVE HIM!
