Well it's been a while since I've visited the website, I am still Loosing 2 win and loving it! I absolutly love MY Band! My weight loss has slowed down, I am just a few pounds away from my goal weight and it's been rough trying to shed these last 7 pounds they just don't want to seem to go. sometimes i can't believe that I have actually accomplished loosing this much weight i look at myself in the mirror constantly, I love to buy new clothes and shoes. I can wear my heels all day and walk in them all day without feeling tired or my feet hurting.  I weigh myself daily, some may say that's over doing it, but it keeps me in line. I tear up every time I think about how big I use to be, I don't ever want to go back to being unhealthy and Morbidtly Obese.
I'm on this journey for life! O what a feeling!!!

Today is my Bandversary, I'm still amazed at the progress I've made. I seems like a dream to be able to shop in the regular women department and even in juniors. My daughter cleaned out her closet getting ready for school shopping and guess who reaped the benefits of her old clothes? Yep! ME! I love my band, and I'm so grateful to God for giving me the stregnth to go thru it and to be sucessful at it! I realize this is a life long journey, and I'm in it to win it! Happy Bandaversary too me!

It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating getting into 180's, I'm weighing in now at 166.0 today, my weight loss has slowed down to 1/2 to 1lb a week the scale is moving ssslllooowww...  but I am making progress. It's been over a year now since I've drank soda, ate fried foods, or even purchased a candy bar or my former habit of morning donuts and orange cream cup cakes. It feels awesome being in control of myself and making healthy decisions for me. Choosing to live and be healthier is an awesome empowerment!  I really wanted to reach my goal of 150 by June looks like it may take a little longer but hey I'm not complaining as long as the scale keeps showing me progress I am happy. I even purchased a few size 10 clothes! O what a feeling ! nothing in my closet with an "X" on it! or from the plus size section! whoo hoo! 

Woo-Hoo! weighed in this morning at 180.8lbs, 170's here I come, my loosing has slowed down but i'm still consistantly loosing and loving it!  30 more pounds to goal!!!!!  I haven't been able to work out as much as i'd like to due to my work schedule but I'll be changing jobs soon so I'll be able to increase my work out times.  I hope to reach goal by June. Sometimes I feel like i'm dreaming,,,, I can't believe that i'm actually here I haven't been this weight in over 10 years!!!! Eating healthy, exercise and loosing weight is so empowering.  I love my band, it has showed me just how much power we can truly have over ourselves if we work with the tools we are given.

Victory is Mine!  

Woo- Hoo! I tried on a size 12 and yep they fit and are cute not even too tight either! Today I wore a large sweater and size 12 pants. Not an XL but a Large- feels so good to have on an outfit that was not from the plus size section. Looking forward to getting rid of all the old and shopping for new clothes think I'll be there by the Spring! I'm loving my band, it works if you work it!


Be Encouraged!

Progress! well my weight loss was a little less in the past month I've lost 6lbs, I'm still happy with the progress. Today I weighed in at 189.8 i'm on my way down the 80's and i'm just extra excited about it! Our family had a Christmas party and I actually wore jeggings with a short legnth shirt! ok i't s not good to toot your own horn. but Toot, Toot! lol- I felt fab and the compliments kept coming. My own step dad didn't even recognize me for about five minutes. lol I've lost so much more than weight, I've lost depression, shame, embarrassment, food addiction , fear, and the list goes on! I started this journey wearing a size 20, I am officially a size 14 and working my way down!  it works if you work it!

I am so loving the new me! it's official I have made my first goal to be 195lbs, when I started this journey my first appointment to the obesity center I weighed in at 244lbs and as of 11/27/10 I am am 195lbs. I have not been this weight or size in over Ten Years I have actually made some purchases in the regular size clothes. I'm not buying to much though because I won't be in them long. I am working out at least three times a week and sticking with the plan. I had my first true battle of hungry last week
but I ate enough to satisfy my cravings (Thanksgiving food) stuck with 4oz and I actually lost three additional pounds. Hipee!
I was afraid that I wouldn't like my body transformation but so far so good, my tummy needs lots of work but it definitly looks and feels better now than before. It feels fabulous to wrap a regular towel around my body again and to lotion my feet or even to strap up my own shoes. I'm so excited! I'm half way there already! Victory taste sooo sweet! I can't stop dancing and smiling!

  I've been wearing belts for the past week and I can't believe it! The thick waist belts that everybody is wearing I bought them last winter and they looked horrible on me, with my big belly hanging underneath and over the top, But today I was able to buckle it up on the last notch and my belt still had room, what a feeling! Allday I was referred to as either being skinny or Sexy- well I was sexy as a big girl so that no suprise! lol just kidding. Seriously it feels like such an accomplishment to have a belt that is loose fitting a few pounds from being too big, hey even all of my shoes are flipping off of my feet! well I have 10 lbs to go to enter ONEderland- :-) SWEEET! 

I've also bagged up some clothes that are way too big! it feels weird because in the past I wouldn't get rid of my clothes in case I didn't keep the weight off but this time I AM in it to WIN IT!

Be Blessed Ya'll - remember God is on your Side as long as you walk with him!

I see me changing physically, mentally and emotionally. Loosing weight has been great and it's only just the begining. It is hard work planning meals and incorporating exercise in my daily routine but Hey, I'm worth it! I have 12 pounds to go and I'll be in wonderland I hope to reach that goal be the end of November! it's funny even my shoes are too big, it's kind off a bummer because I own well over 100 pairs of shoes and in the past two weeks I've discovered every pair of shoes I wore started flipping off of my feet. I guess that means shopping for me but I'm holding out as long as I can. I love putting on my clothes and seeing them fit better or even too big, its a reminder that i'm making progress!

I had a great weight loss week this week, I have lost a total of 6lbs this week, I believe it's because the week before I increased my walk to 5 miles for two days! I couldn't believe it, I stepped off the scale and stepped back on atleast 3 times.
tomorrow is my first fill appointment. I'm not sure of what to expect but i'm excited about it. although i don't really get hungry now, soo far.  anyway just thought I'd share my joy!
