Lose Weight and Get Healthy

and no longer obese according to my BMI.

Having a hard time getting rid of the last bit. Summer is here and that should help some.

I’m not at my goal weight yet, but I did reach my target jean size before Christmas. I’ve hit a plateau so now I have to start stepping up my efforts.

but then when I went to buy another pair of jeans I was able to buy a size smaller. Woot!

I may actually make my goal around Christmas. I’m joining Curves within the month. I’m really happy with the progess that I’m making.

I’m considering wearing a pedometer at work just to see how far I walk each day. We estimated that its got to be between 4-5 miles.

And I’m down yet another jean size. How freakin’ cool is that? 3 more until I’m back in my high school jeans.

No need to take the stairs with this job. :)

If I keep going the way that I’m going, I should be at my goal by Christmas. That’s even giving me a little cushion (no pun intended.) How sweet is that? I’m excited to think that by the end of this year I may be back at what I weighed before I had any kids.

I am so doing the happy dance.

And I’ve been off Zoloft for a whole month now. I feel awesome and people are starting to notice. ;)

12 pounds isn’t a lot, but I am on my way. I wish I could say that I don’t care what people think, its the inside that counts, etc. It does hurt that people make assumptions about me as a person based on appearances, but while its not PC its natural. After spending years being the fat chick I am determined to get to a healthy weight for many reasons.
I have not having any energy.
I don’t want my kids to have a fat mom and I don’t want to be a bad example to my daughter.
I want to feel good about my body.
I can’t wait to buy sexy underwear again.
etc.

In any case, I am on my way and while its slow, I am feeling better and looking forward to loosing more.
