I was reading my profile and noticed I haven't updated my weight loss story since 2008. So much has happened since then! In the fall of 2008 I reached a weight loss of 55 pounds. That put me at about 235. There might have been a day or two I was at 233. That winter I started to gain weight on up to 249. In early 2009 while I was TTC I started doing well again and dropped down to 242. I know it's nuts but I know my exact weight on the day I got pregnant... 242. :) I had tried for a baby for about year. I had basically given up and was working on weight loss again when it happened! Such a blessing. I had my little girl fall of 2009 and gained about 45 pounds during the pregnancy. Most of that weight fell off after about three months post pregnancy. I had about 7-8 pounds of really pregnancy weight gain that I needed to drop after all was said and done. Not too bad! Well... my little girl started to have some medical issues that continued the first year of her life. i was a total stress ball. I started gaining again. I ate through every stressful emotion I had in 2010. I wanted to eat right, but I knew I couldn't handle it.
In in September 2010 I really started to get bothered again by my weight. I had a couple things happen where I just was appalled at how I looked and how other people where treating me because of it. In August I had won a prize and my picture was in the newspaper. i was horrified at how I looked! Then in October of last year our mom's play group was featured on the local news. When I saw my interview on TV I just about DIED at how big I looked.
Not too long after that had a issue with this 'friend' that wasn't being all that nice to me. Come to find out its because she has a problem with overweight people. I know that is HER problem and not mine, but it really shook me. The fact is at that time I was back up to 260 pounds. My yearly labs weren't looking that great and it was just time to make a change. My little girl was dong better by last Christmas so this year I decided enough was enough.
Since March of this year I have been walking and working out every single week. A friend asked me to join the gym with her and I did in April! My DD loves going there! I'm counting calories on loseit.com (Friend me!) and I get in my workouts 4-5 days a week. In August I took a part time job where I am on my feet and active on the weekends. It's just been wonderful!
I'm proud to say that I have lost 37 pounds this year! I'm at 223 today and my next goal is to get down to 199 by New Years Day 2012. I'm going to make it. There is just no stopping me now.
