Got on the scale this morning and it said 229.  My short term goal is 220 by my birthday (Dec. 26) because that's when my license expires.  I will finally have my weight correct on my license:-)  It's been incorrect for about 17 years.  I am 9 pounds away and it's only Oct. 23rd.  I think I am going to make it.  I was a little apprehensive before but it seems to be in sight.

I've noticed that...
1.  when I sleep on my side, my knees hurt because the fleshy flesh is gone.  It's very uncomfortable.
2.  when I see someone I haven't seen in a while, they just stare but don't say anything about the weightloss.
3.  my face seems much longer and my nose much bigger as the pounds drop.  I'm still cute though:-)
4.  people really are telling the truth when they say that can't see a big change in their bodies after a big weight drop.  I see it in my face but my body still looks and feels the same to me.  I can tell with my clothes size changing though.  I bought a L (12/14) shirt from Walmart and a 16/18 dress.
5.  everytime I bend over, my girls pop out.  I guess that means it's time for new bras. 

With all that being said, I am so blessed to have an opportunity such as this.  I wouldn't change it for anything.  God Bless!

I am 20 pounds from my 100 lb. weight loss mark.  Yeah me!  If I could get to the gym, I'm sure it would go much faster.  I am going back this week.  I have 2 make time some kind of way.

That's all I have to say.  Be Blessed!

I was stuck at 250 for about a wk and a half.  This morning, the scale said 247.  Praise God!  I returned to work today after summer break.  It's nice to get back into the swing of things.  I am going to try to have my classroom set up and functional by Thursday so that I can rest on Friday.  We'll see.  It never works out like that.

I'm down 60 lbs.  I can't believe it.  I've read where some people have lost much more than that in their first 3 1/2 months but I am satisfied with what I've lost.  My long-term goal is defintely within reach:-)  God is so good.

was that I would jog on the treadmill and it would break or make a whole lot of noise.  Well, I jogged today.  Usually, I think about it and then talk myself out of it but before I knew it, I was moving the speed up, up, and up until I had no choice but to jog.  I was so pumped.  So, I walked/jogged my 5k.  Maybe by the time the 5k race in March comes, I will be able to run the whole thing. 

As of this morning, I am down 57 lbs.  I now weigh 257 lbs.  My goal is to weigh 200 lbs. by my birthday which is December 26th.  I pray that it's doable but from what I've lost so far, it seems like it.  The weight on my driver's license says 220 lbs.  That is so funny to me because I wasn't 220 lbs when I first wrote it, in 1991.  Now, finally, 17 years later (my gosh!), it can be even lower.  My llicense expires on my birthday. 

BTW, the treadmill is still in good shape.

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time.  Not much has been going on, just life.  My sister's wedding was yesterday.  It was BEAUTIFUL!  I will add pics as soon as I get them.  I tried to add some pics that I took today but I was having problems.  I will try again later.  Anyway, I am down to 261 lbs, and proud of it. 

I added a couple of new pics today.  I wore the outfit I had on in my profile pic again to see if I could see a change.  I can see some small changes.  When I first took that pic, I was in the process of losing weight so it doesn't compare to a pic at my highest weight.  I am pleased with my process so far.

The scale finally moved...yippee.  I am at a proud 273 and wearing a size 22 dress and 18/20 tops.  I tried on the size 20 dress for my sister's wedding and it fits.  It's snug but it fits.  By the wedding date, it should fit much better.  I'm starting to see a little shape now.
