Thanks! I feel incredible. I'd love to break 300 in time for my birthday, which coincidentally is right around the end of the next 10% challenge (I'll be 22). All the fun birthdays are over now, it's time to get old, haha. I've at least got to be healthy in the process.
I think we've discussed it before, but it's great you're getting this done now while you're young. Your skin should snap back into shape--not like old guys like me. I'll be 47 in May and it's not pretty.
Anyway, have a great weekend!
Regards,
Michael

Whooo Hoooo!
Things continue to be crazy and stressful....but all is good. The HR Leadership conference was aamzing this week with lots of success stories. This week, I realized that I am on the path of multiple transformations...I am transforming me, my lifestyle and how I ensure I take care of me regardless of what is going on. I am leading a significant transformation (5 year plan) at work that effects 27,000 employees. And we are redefining our family and how we make things work. In amongst it all I have lost one great aunt, an uncle, and a brother in the last 6 weeks. I am so proud, as I have not let any of that side track me. In fact, I would not have had the stamina and ability to deal with all this if I had not taken the path of a healthier me...
What I learnt and achieve in one part of my life enables other transformations. In fact, I am modelling the change at work and at home. Hubby, co-workers are all on board and taking care of themselves as well.
It really hit me this week, when I was at the podium, decided to let go the podium and work the room. What confidence...this is not the old me. However, I also noticed I was loosing my pants
So off the the big ladies shop yesterday to buy some pants...Here I am thinking maybe a 22 or 20....what a shock when I was fitting in to an 18 and wondering how long they would fit. I actually tried on a 16 (which I could have gotten away with), but I am used to loose fitting clothes now and know I don't have to buy something to prove I am smaller, but want to look great, and professional.
Whooo Hooo....I started at a tight 24 or loose 26 pant (3X) and now wear a women's 18 or (1X)...I can feel the momentum.....16, 14, 12....these will come and go in my closet too. I am so looking forward to seeing me in a size 10....
Wishing you all a great weekend....keep smiling and believe in yourself, one day, one bite and one step at a time.

Contrats on the wardrobe--that IS a great feeling.
Keep up the momentum!

29 off by July? Yup, I KNOW you can do it! I'll be shooting for another 38 off by July 4th--might be optimistic, but again, I KNOW it can be done (with a lot of ass busting!)

New Flash....
I was setting my next goals and realized I am now below a BMI of 40. Officially, I am no longer extremely obese...just obese. LOL. I didn't even realize that there were different categories of obesity.
Feeling good.
Feeling good.

hi melynda
i know how u feel about no one supporting u. my family is unsopportive. my mom is 200lbs my dad is 300lbs...and they think its ok. but no one has ne fhealth problems and im afraid the only way they will get that kick in the butt they need is to get a bad health check up. i hope it doesnt get to that. im hoping my weight loss will become a good example for them. im also doing the shopping but they slip in the breads and doughnuts. then once its in the house its sooooo much harder to diet. but if i can do it, then so can u. we all have to just tell ourselves... is that one bite worth our health. thats whats been getting me through.

Thanks. I know what you mean by them slipping in the bad stuff. My dad brings home muffins and cakes.. But he's not sneaking, he comes right up to me and asks if I want some. No thanks, Dad. Lol..
Oh and Misery- Thanks for that website, It helped A LOT!! =D
And I just weighed in yesterday and found out that I've already lost 8lbs!
