I haven't written in over a year. And guess what? I have lost 82lbs without weightloss surgery. I credit it all to: no sodas or sweet drinks, no sweets, limited alcohol, exercising and staying around 1400cal a day.
The whole diabetes thing gave me a scare so I completely cut sweets...I do enjoy my no sugar added candies, icecreams, and homemade reduced sugar cookies and pies on occassion though! I haven't had a Coke in almost two years. After my first 60lbs I hit a plateau that last about 4months. I would lose and regain the same 5lbs over and over again. This was also in the summer when I wasn't walking to school everday...now that I'm backinto the semester I have lost 17lbs!!! If I loose another 18lbs I would have lost 100.!!! It is crazy to think that I'm less than 50lbs away from my goalweight. I know it will be a challange but I feel like I've gotten over half done.

On the down side...I have those days where I'm completely down. I look in the mirror and still see the old me, when I know deep down it isn't true. I'm hard on myself alot and I'm doing my best to work on this. I know I should be ecstatic about my accomplishments but I keep thinking about what more I have left to do...
