When I started off four and a half months ago, I was determined, but not very sure if the determination would last. But now, 50 pounds lighter, after sticking to a balanced diet & very regular exercise regime, I’ve proven to myself that it is humanly possible(for me) to lose weight. I suppose its all about how much one wants it. I’ve made efforts before, but gave up after the initial setbacks. This time, I was not willing to cheat myself and continue to abuse my body. Yes, people have noticed the difference, yes I’ve dropped 6 dress sizes, and all that jazz, but this stuff can’t beat the amount of pride I feel about gaining back control – control to say no, and the willingness to say yes to a healthy ‘lifestyle’. I suppose all weight issues involve giving up on oneself.
I am 22 pounds away from my first goal weight, and 32 away from my ultimate goal weight. I’m going to be realistic from now on, the weight came off easy when I was heavier…its now time for the real battle. Ahoy!
Once again, it sure as hell is worth it.

Summary: Pounds lost : 52
Pounds left to reach this goal: 28

Well, I have finally lost 31.3 pounds and a further 16 inches from all over my body, adding up to a total loss of 36.5 inches since I started out 2 months ago. =)
I am taking it slow and with a positive attitude and am seeing acceptable results. And wee!!, people have started to notice the loss, and I especially jump for joy when I get those compliments from people who have no idea about my weight loss decesion. All the more motivation for me. I am fearing the arrival of a plateau, but I plan to kick the shit out of that too. heh heh.
It’s more than worth it, not only do I look better, my stamina and endurance is better than it has ever been.
49 more to go.
=)
