I wanted to give you an u...

I wanted to give you an update on what has been happening to me lately. As some of you that have read my profile or responded to my posts, I have been in a major funk as far as my weightloss. At one point I had been at the same weight from June 39- December 28. Well I made a promise to myself that 2006 was not going to be like the last part of 2005. I had not been eating the correct foods nor excerising the way that I knew I needed to. Well, on Dec. 28th I weighed in at 317lbs. I have been going to Curves 5-6 days a week and last week I did my own protein train. I have felt wonderful and truly believed that things were changing for me as far as my progress in the weightloss game. Well, BAF my work is starting to pay off. This morning I check my weight on my scale in my apt. and guess what it showed......Drum roll please....It said 300lbs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Thank you JESUS!!!!!!! The friday before I started my protein train I weighed myself and I weighed 315lbs. If my scale continues to be consitent that would mean that during my protein train I lost approximately 15lbs. I got on the scale and looked and then had to get off take a deep breathe and then get on again. It showed the same weight. I ran into my bedroom got on the phone and called who else...my mother. I told her what I had just witnessed and all of a sudden I burst out crying. I have been discouraged for so long but it took me thinking positve and have the belief that this is a new year and with new years come new beginnings. I remembered all the responses from you all telling me to stay strong and to believe in myself. I thank you all for the encouragements. I have one more pound left to make it into twoderland. I have always said that when I reach 299lbs. I was going to give myself a party. I guess I better start planning my party becaise I expect to reach my next goal VERY SOON!!!! Again, thank you all and please keep me in my prayers that my weighloss continues. I will not except anything less than reaching my personal goals. Peace any many blessings,
