I just can't contain my excitement any longer :) Yesterday was my 4 month mark since I started this journey of losing weight, but I completely forgot to weigh myself in the morning because our dd had some friends down all weekend to go to the NIN concert & it threw my dates off track, not to mention losing a LOT of sleep in the process (having 5 teenagers can do that to you!). But it was so worth it when I jumped on the scale this morning! I've lost another 2.2 lbs. since Friday & hit the 30 lb. mark! WOOHOO!!! In 4 months, I've lost a total of 30.8 lbs. & lowered my BMI by 4.2%! And, to top it all of, I measured myself today & in 1 month, I've lost another 4 inches for a total of at least 8 1/2+ inches (I never measured myself when I first started, so I'm going by my 1 month measurements). I also added some new front & side pictures to my slideshow over there --->
I thought I would also share the amazing job my dh is doing. He's lost a total of 25 pounds in 4 months & you can really tell it in his stomach by these pictures. He's losing his 'love handles' ;)
Thank-you for sharing in the excitement with me & for supporting Toni & I along the way! I know I still have a very long way to go, but we're doing this & we WILL win this battle!
It all started on April 25, 2008. Jim & I decided that enough was enough & we joined our local gym. We try to work out at least 5 days a week, although sometimes our schedules are crazy. I have also started working at the gym.....gotta love that free membership :)
I made this blog as I thought it would be a great place to get support (and give support to anyone else stopping by), while at the same time keeping a record of my journey down the weight loss road.
I hope to post an update once a week with my progress & stats, as well as my struggles along the way. My ultimate goal is to lose 111.6 pounds.
