Amazing Changes are going on right now!

So as of Friday I weighed in at 204.5. I am so close to the 200 mark I can taste it. I am thrilled to see that number. Of course you know this past week was memorial day. So I also ate, ate and ate. I will make it up for you and I am expecting to be at 208-210 from all the sodium and water retention. But I will get better again.

This weekend I really saw a change in my body shape. I noticed Ro took the time to check out my efforts and really appreciated them. I feel like a woman again. I will keep updating here. Just as summer begins it is pretty hard. Wish me luck. My journey is far from over. When I started this back in January I never dreamed I would be this close this fast. But determination is a strong feeling. I will succeed. For myself, my children and my marriage. I am determined woman. I am strong!

Progress

Slow and steady wins the race. As I was watching biggest loser I realized how unrealistic the program is. Women and men lose weight half their bodies and people praise them. This all happens in a 6 month period. I do not understand how a person can lose 20 lbs a month and do it in a healthy fashion that will be able to be maintained. I let it depress me and I slept like a baby. I woke up this morning convinced I would be stuck at 212 again for the 5th day in the row. I got up got ont he scale and hear the words. "Oh" In a good voice. I look up at the screen and it says "208". My heart leaps out of my chest. I am out of my slump. Praying I can stay out of it. It is hard work but worth it. I will keep everyone updated.
