Update

I see that it has been forever since I last posted. Well, there is nothing much going on in my life. I am 8 months out. I went to see the doctor on last month and I had lost about 85 lbs (yeah me!!!).  I am now in a 14-16, which is great. I would like to be able to walk into the stores and pick up a 12 or 14 and be confident that I can wear it. I have now started to get the comments, "you look good, you look fine, please don't lose any more weight." "Don't get too small." I have learned that I can not satisfy everybody, so I have to make the decision for myself at where to stop this journey. On the scales, my goal weight is between 175-180, which is still probably obese from the doctor's standpoint. However, I think I will be okay with this weight, it was never my desire to be skinny. I want to be healthy, and keep some meat on my bones. As of today, I am still at about 225, so I still have a loooong way to go. My weight loss has slowed down, but the inches are still coming off, so I can't really complain. People are still telling me I am loosing even though the scale is not agreeing with them. My body seems to stall for a while, then all of a sudden I drop between 5 and 10 lbs. On a great note, I have started at the gym (FINALLY), and I am doing great. It is so funny that now I have to do a lot more to get my heart rate up. I guess that extra weight was  holding me down. I am trying to go at least three days a week for at least 45 minutes a day. On a sadder note, I notice that my body has started to accept more foods. That is a great thing b/c it gives me more variety, but I don't want to get carried away and fall back into old habits. Therefore, I am trying to watch what I eat. I seriously need to keep a food diary. Hopefully the next time I post, I will have all sorts of exciting news to post. Maybe I will have met the man of my dreams by then. Continued success to ALL!!!
