Amazing what exercise can do

Today I stand in front of you. 188.5! I am officially out of the 190's. It seems like just yesterday I was struggling with the 220's! I am very excited to go to my doctor and see her reaction come December. She is going to get to see a healthier and happier Susan. I am thrilled to do this.

Yesterday I did Zumba for 45 minutes. My shoulders were screaming at me. After I get home from volunteering at my sons class I will do biggest loser again. I am going to get this done.

Welcome back Bob

So lately I am not happy with my weight loss. I want to see bigger numbers. The only way I can make bigger numbers happen is to start back my exercise. My strap broke for EA active so I am going back to biggest losers. Damn Bob still has it. My legs are screaming and I got very sweaty but the awesome thing is I feel great. So welcome back Bob. Let's do this and help me achieve my goals!

Who am I?

As I sit here on my desktop today this question is popping into my head? Who am I? 9 months ago I was depressed, scared, and very overwhelmed with myself. Here I stand 9 months later. I am a much more confident woman. I am much more social. I am very happy in my relationship. For the first time in a very long time I am content with my life and that feels amazing.

Do not get me wrong. I am thrilled I weight 190. I never dreamed I would be this small again. I did not imagine it. Especially when it is still 2 months shy of my goal to be 200. I am sure that losing 53 lbs is helping me. I seem a bit positive, a bit more content and a heck lot more healthier.

So tell me the truth...do you really see a difference from my old picture and this one? Please excuse the mirror, I did this quickly in the morning.




Finally, I have everything I have wanted in life. I have a man who loves me, 2 incredible children, an safe community to live and a happier healthier me. I am not close to the end of my journey yet but here I am. I am surviving and doing this. I am an incredible inspiration and a very happy person.

50 lbs Loss Officially

So here I am as of today. 50 lbs loss. 50 lbs of fat gone never to return. I am going to hit my goal this year. I have to do it. 175 here I come. Can I lose 20 lbs in 3 months? Not sure but even if I hit 180 by then I will be happy! 20 percent body fat gone. I can do this.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Here I am 1 week later. I have had a week of ups and downs. Here I am this week struggling but this morning I got on the scale. I am 1 lb lighter. Everyone says slow and steady wins the race. But well I miss the days of 3 lb losses. I will get there again and even if not I am closer and closer to my goal. 193 and counting every pound is 1 lbs farther away from 248.

A new me. A new approach to life

Today I am so thankful for my very supportive husband and my beautiful children. Today I stand just shy 8 months of when this all started. Most people create babies in 9 months. Not me I created a whole new woman. I took a very depressed morbidly obese woman and turned her into a beautiful woman. Yes according to BMI I am still class one Obese. But I am so close to just being overweight right now that I can taste it. Yes right now my ultimate goal is 170 and that is just overweight but I can do this! I can be the strong woman I want to be.

Today I stand a strong 194 pound woman. Today I will be the best woman I can be. 48 lbs lighter. Hell yeah! I am woman hear me roar!
