This has been a long road. I started in 7/06 at 225. I was doing well and thought I could do it on my own. I stepped away from support, follow ups and chat blogs.

 

It took me 3 years to come back and find my say. I’ve been working on this for the past 6months. I’ve been able to drop 25 pounds and 36.5 inches. ZUMBA IS SO MUCH FUN!!

 

I have learned that if I exercise, complete a daily journal, drink at least 64 oz of liquid a day, weigh daily (really try not to do that one, but you know how it goes when you’re on a diet) or weekly, and measure; I can do this…stay on track…I can smile again and be proud of what I’m doing.

 

The standing goal for life is to keep up w/my life change once I meet my weight goal of 145. On each diet that I’ve done (and I’ve done a lot), I’ve never thought about “what to do at the end when I reach my goal”. I always went back to the way things were.

 

And then I would gain it all back and more…I don’t want this!

 

I’ve gone from a 22 to a 16 in pants …I don’t want that again!

 

I’ve dropped over 30 inches…I don’t want it back!

 

I have a matinee coming up soon. I’ve had this dress in my closet for 3 years, just waiting till the day I could wear it.

I put it on and guess what? IT WAS TOO BIG! I went over to my mom’s house and found some clothes there.

I found out that I now wear a size 16! I haven’t seen a 16 in YEARS!

It felt so good; it put a skip in my step all day long.

 

I’m so happy to be on the journey to a new life!

There's nothing more motivating than smaller clothes! Now get rid of those too big ones...we're never coming back here again! -BG

Thanks renebeau & BG for responding.

I'm trying to save up money to go shopping!! I think I'll hit up the Thrift Stores first knowing that I'll be getting smaller soon!

I've been slowly getting rid of those clothes too!

Have a great day!
