Good Morning everyone.. It's been a while since I have posted.. Been on summer vacation..I have been still feeling great. I hit the 4-5 month stall but continued my work out plan and stayed at my 700-800 cal per day meal plan. and it has broke. The big scary "Hair loss" started about 2 weeks ago.. :-( sooo I went out and bought a few cute fedora's.. They work! They came in very handy last week while on vacation.. Let me tell you people loosing some hair (temporarily) vs my weight & inches loss, I'll take the weight loss by far (63lbs & 32.5 inches). One of the best things that has happenned in this whole process is the effect that it has had on those nearest & dearest to me. They have all started working out and eating healthier. That is so awesome to see. My workout regime is the gym, hiking & bike riding. On average I work out approx. 4 days a week. no less than 1 hour a day..

A big eye opener just recently happened. I was packing for a 5 day vacation in Rosarito, Mexico. We were taking my husbands Mini Cooper down so I had to pack light. Well, I didn't pack workout clothes.. BIG MISTAKE!! Luckily, between all the girls that came down with us we put together a workout outfit and I was able to workout 3 of the days we were on vacation.. I was so happy!! I've learned my lesson. I will never leave home without a workout outfit, even on vacation.

Thanks for listening & Keep up all the hard work!! It's sooooo worth it..

Congrats on your successes, I'm like you & will take the hair loss over those extra inches & lbs.

Isn't it great to see the positive way it affects your family. My daughter, 20 yrs old. Has really committed to working out & eating healthier this summer. Plus she always makes sure she has breakfast before heading off to work. Hope this continues when she goes back to college.

Good job on being a positive role model. Keep up the great work.

Glad everything is going so well for you. Your weight loss is great!

You really have slimmed way down. Your pics from your recent vacation show how much younger and even more beautiful you are without the extra weight. That black straw fedora looks great, btw!
