60 lbs lost (by my scale anyways)

Jan 22, 2009

When I first made the call to Joyce to start this journey I was at my highest of around 330.  I probably weighed a little less but I believe I was around there.  Anyways, that was in May 2008.  As of this morning at approximately 0530 I am now 269.  I'VE LOST 60 LBS!!!  I'm so proud of myself.  I also can kind of sorta wear my wedding band again.  It's still a little snug but I can now bring it below my knuckle.  LOL  Every little bit counts.  Things are going so good.  I got a bad scare the last time I went to see my doc.  I actually gained weight from the last time I saw him.  5 lbs to be exact.  I was devastated but I didn't let myself get complacent.  I got home and started working out and really watching what I ate.  I knew a few lbs could just be from water weight (I was about to start my cycle) and the rest from too much fun over the holidays but that is no excuse when you are doing a lifestyle change.  I didn't let it hold me down and it is now shining.  I'm hoping I'll be able to stand strong and lose 5 more lbs before Valentine's Day.

I'm well on my way of reaching my personal goal of 200 lbs by my bandiversary date.  I maybe reaching for the stars but hey jumping is good exercise.

PS...Dr. McDevitt, Joyce, or Cathy:  if you are reading this don't be too hard on me about using my scale at home.  Gaining that weight has scared me straight.  LOL
