I did it I'm below 180 for the first time in I don't know how long! it's going slower now but still going, need to step up my exercise but I did go bike riding with my kids the other day and it was a blast,I forgot how much funi it is to bike. more later ;-)

things are getting slower now, which is what was expected I now have a BMI of 34.4 not bad since I started out at 58.2. I've lost 128lbs so far, hey that's a super model LOL! I ran into an old neighbor the other day and if it wasn't for my husband she wouldn't have recognized me - too cool!

Stepped on the scales Thursday 6-12-08 and it is official I am down 100 lbs from  the start of my journey, I can't believe I have made it this far, on all of my other diets I would fail around 50-60 lbs then gain it all back and then some. This has been the best! I went through my closet and got rid of a TON of clothes that were too big, it was such a cool feeling to clean out the "old me" and buy a few new things, I'm still going to wait to buy a bunch I have about 50 more lbs to go, but wow! I'm still in shock!

sorry it's been awhile, with work and kids I hardly have time to check on my site. down 85 lbs at 6 months, I was hoping to be closer to 100lbs by now but I'll take what I can get. part of my problem is my physical activity is not what it should, I finally found out what the problem with my knee is and to make it plan and simple I was too fat for too long ;-) I have no carteledge (sp) in my right knee so on May 1st I will be having a partial knee replacement, way more than I planned but if it will get me able to bike ride again, heck if I can just climb stairs I'll be happy. hopefully I can post more while I'm off work for 4 weeks, I'll let you know.

I am now down 60lbs and feeling great! home with the little ones today, and have been since tues at 10:30 when I got a call from my 6 yr old's school saying she was running a fever, called daycare and had them check my son and he was running one as well, brought them home to my sick husband and 16 year old. The only ones holding down the fort  are me and my 14 year old, it's been a joy. Flu season is not my favorite ;-) hopefully all will be well by tomorrow but we will have to see. Hubby went back to work on wed but my 16 year old tried to go wed but I had to pick her up at 1:30 she's back  at school today but I'm waiting on the call. been feeling great but still having a hard time teaching myself to not eat so fast, man I'm a slow learner!

Starting to see a difference, It's so hard to believe that it's coming off so fast. I am finally back down to what I was when I lost weight 2 years ago and was starting to feel great. Now I feel it's all down hill from here! My DD who will be 6 on the 12th of Jan, almost every morning says "your getting skinnier mom" out of the mouths of babes!

Hard to believe that I'm already 45lbs down. Things have been so easy I almost feel guilty. back at work full time and really liking days, Christmas was wonderful and I had no problems over the holidays with eating. I had my nephew say he felt sorry for me because I had so little on my plate, but looking at his MOUND of food I told him I felt sorry for him, I wasn't going to feel miserable when I was done ;-) and he did!!!

Work went really smooth this week, I got a lot of positive comments from co-workers and it was nice being back on days, working 1/2 days was a good idea, I was tired the first couple of days but by Friday I was going pretty strong. Kids loved being back at daycare, I have a wonderful daycare provider who has become a great friend, the only person I have left any of my wee ones with. It's nice to be able to leave your children somewhere and know that they are safe and they have raised their own children with the same values that you have, it takes a bunch of the stress out of having to work. A bit of money stress, I am still waiting on my short-term disability checks from when I was off, pretty sad that I am back to work and still haven't been paid for when I was off. I called them Mon and they thought I was union so I didn't qualify for ST disability but I'm not and should have had a check by then so they fixed the computer problem and said a check would be sent out right away, but as of Friday no check, called again and they said they sent out 2 checks on Wed and one on Friday, so hopefully I will have something by Mon. Mortgage people gave me unitl the 5th to pay without penalitys but damn this is crazy! you think you plan everything and then someone else messes it up;) but as problems go I guess it could be worse, my surgery went great and I'm feeling wonderful and losing weight, family is healthy and we have a roof over our heads, for all of that I am thankful, God has been good!

Made it through Thanksgiving, not too much trouble, I just need to chew better, but I was able to enjoy myself and not feel deprived. Back to work tomorrow, only going back 1/2 days, not because I'm tired, I just have so much vacation to use or I lose it. I tried to use it for some of my time off but work makes you use all your sick leave up first and since I was hardly ever sick I had quite a bit built up, enough to cover all of my 4 weeks, so I guess it's their problem since I have to come back and then use my vacation ;) totally crazy!
I'm going to miss being off with my kids, it was like I was a stay at home mom for a bit, kinda liked it. But off to the "real" world tomorrow and back on days so it will be a real adjustment, I have to deal with people again ;)
