These past couple of weeks I've been really struggling with my weight. I'm not losing it as fast as I was & that in itself is kinda depressing :( From October 31st until now, I've only lost 2 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. And I just can't seem to hit that 50 pound lost mark yet! ARGH! I'm so close, though.....only 2.6 pounds to go! At this rate, I'll be happy to hit it by the end of November :)
I knew that the holiday months were going to be harder, but we still have a week & a half until Thanksgiving! And I haven't started any baking.......YET! I'll probably hold off on the baking until the middle of December & I don't plan on making nearly as many Christmas Cookies as I have in the past. Every year, I send my Mom a can of cookies & fudge, so that's the only reason why I'm even going to do any baking this year. Maybe I should just mail them all to her??? Yeah, right.....like that'll happen! NOT! LOL
I went to my doctor last week & he was amazed at how much I've lost. According to their scales, I've lost 48 pounds since I saw him in April right before we joined the gym :) He asked me how I was doing it & when I told him we just joined a gym & cut back on our portion sizes, he was really happy for me! But unfortunately, I still haven't lost enough weight to get off of my blood pressure medication yet :( That is something that I cannot wait to be able to do! Maybe when I go back next April for my annual physical, I can get off of it for good!
In case you didn't notice, Toni removed herself from the blog :( She's going through some really tough times right now & I completely understand why she had to make that decision, but I'm still going to miss her on this blog! I hope & pray that when the time is right, she will be back. Toni, I love you & I'm always here for you.....don't forget that! {{{Toni}}}
Until next time, in which hopefully I'll be able to yell that I hit the 50 pound mark :)

All About Me
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.
Wish me luck along my journey!

Thanks Benita :) I hope everyone understands....(((hugs))) to you!!
Benita - we all hit plateau's at some point, but don't give up! The holidays are tough, but look for alternatives and only take nibbles! Low fat or fat free ingredients are great substitutes and most of the time no one knows the difference! Mail all those cookies to Mom! In fact, does she even need them? I'm hoping you keep working hard! (((hugs))) Sue
Sounds like a plateau, but I know you will make it through. I'm cheering you on!
