My progress…

I am so excited to be on my way to being healthy and slim…

If you are interested, below is a ticker tracking my progress…

10/23/2010 – It finally happened! I weight less then 200. I haven’t weighed this since my daughter was born 13 1/2 years ago!
10/10/10 – 200.8 pounds!!!! Woo!!!! I can hardly believe that I am this close to being out of the 200s!!!! YES!

11/08/2010 – HALF WAY THERE!!!!!!

12/10/2010 – Below 190!  YES!

12/18/2010 – Wow… I can hardly believe that I am loosing this weight.  It seemed like such an impossibility before, but now, at 186 pounds it seems that it may happen.

1/2/2011 – I haven’t lost any more poundage. If I only focus on that I would be discouraged.  I have lost inches…I am now in a size 12 pant and a large women’s top.  :0) I haven’t worn those sizes since Dillon was a baby.  I have been working out and I feel stronger and healthier then ever.  I didn’t make my goal by the end of the year…Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years were full of family time and delicious food. But now, I am back to the plan!

March 4,2011 ~ We went on a cruise for our anniversary. I went off my diet and ate & drank whatever I wanted. On March1st, I restarted the weight loss efforts and have already lost 4 of the 10 pounds I gained while on vacation. I’m feeling good and strong!

April 26, 2011  Weight loss has taken a back seat to training for the Tour de Cure. With all the riding and working out it has been difficult to figure out how much I need to eat to lose weight. As soon as we have finished out ride, I will be getting back on the weight loss train.
