Weigh-In(s) - This is Your Life!

Hey y'all. So much has been happening at our house lately, I haven't had time to slow down for a minute.  First of all, on top of everything I was already involved in personally, I am now going to college.  I took 3 classes during the fall semester for a total of 9 credit hours.  I knew it would be difficult since I haven't set foot in a classroom as a student since the early 80's, but so far I'm handling it fairly well.  I was always an "A" student in school, but this time around I will be happy if I pass.  (That's actually not true.  I will be devastated if I don't make straight A's, and so far I'm sure I won't be this time around. I just don't have the time to devote to all the extra work involved!)

I started this post before my grades were posted.....and I made straight A's.  WooHoo! That was a relief to me!

Okay, so now that I'm on break from school I am going to try to blog regularly again.  My weight loss has really slowed down the past few months.  I am still losing, just at a snail's pace.

Here's the scoop:

At my last published weigh in on September 12, 2011 I weighed 167.25 pounds.

Wow!  I didn't realize it had been such a long time since I updated my blog! 

 

For those of you just finding my blog....I began my journey on August 17, 2009 with a starting weight of 347 pounds, and as of my last weigh-in on Monday I have lost a total of 191.25 pounds.  My original goal was to lose 212 pounds and it is so close I can almost "taste" it.  However, after I reach my goal I will continue with my current eating habits.  As I have often stated, this is not just another diet to me...this is now my life.  I have made a vow to myself and all of you.....I will NEVER go back.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for hanging in there with me while my life has been in turmoil!  I hope I can give a little encouragement to any of you out there struggling to lose weight and get healthy.  This is not The Biggest Loser, this is your life! So what if you don't lose 10 pounds a week, or 100 pounds in 6 weeks, this is real life!  It has taken me over 2 years to lose 191.25 pounds, and I know I will reach my ultimate goal, and I know you can, too.  

Just remember, it IS possible to lose weight and get healthy if you want it bad enough. 

XOXO

P.S. The most recent pictures of me are the ones taken in Kemah, Texas during August.  I will upload those shortly.  I have asked my husband to take some new ones this weekend, and will post those soon!
