Gee Wiz!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you!  I can't believe the outpouring of love and support and kind words that came my way yesterday!  I truly feel like I have this team cheering me on, and wanting success for me.  So, thank you.

Honestly, words cannot express how grateful I am for each of you.  For reading my blog, for commenting on my pictures on Facebook, for talking to me about my success when you see me, even for the "likes".  You are the greatest people in the whole world!

I posted a picture on FB yesterday at 5:15 or so, and by 8:00 this morning this is what I saw (and it keeps coming!).  
I LOVE YOU ALL! :)

I've mentioned it before, and I'll say it again.  Y'all are motivating to me.  If any of you are trying to make the healthy change, surround yourself with supportive people.  DON'T try and do it alone.  If people know, it will hold you more accountable.  Thank you for that!


Here's my 50 pound down picture.  I think I might start taking pictures every 10 lbs down so I can see my progress.

Also, sorry for taking it in the restroom.  Haha  It really is such a great place to take pictures because of the mirror...although I have quite a few mirrors in my apartment I could've used.  haha  I promise I'm not trying to be one of those people. :)

Again, THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  I love you all, and would do anything for you.  I will always say it, if you need any help, or someone to talk to, some motivation.  I'm your girl!  You deserve happiness and success!  Never forget it.

xoxo

    Keep it up girl! You seriously are amazing! I love the idea of taking a photo every 10 lbs so we all can share in your success! Then at the end you can see the progress over the time on your journey.

Farewell to 60

Image
It may have taken me a little over a month to lose 10 more pounds, but I did it!! I'm finally down to 60 pounds lost!!!  This is honestly insane, and I can't fully express my emotions. 60 pounds.  Wow.  I've expressed this before to a few friends, but, when I was at 30 pounds down it was a big deal, but I didn't really see the big picture.  60 pounds proves that I have done something hard.  That I am MORE than half way to my goal.  It's kind of mind blowing to think about!  Like I said, I can't fully express the emotion. To put it 60 pounds into perspective: I've lost that much fat!  How gross is that!?!? I love to see pictures that show my progress, since I see myself everyday I don't really notice it.  Last August I went to San Francisco with some good friends to see some Giants v. Braves games.  So, here's a picture showing 7 months difference: So the left is August 2012 and the right is today, March 15, 2013. My how 20 lbs. makes

First Off...Introductions

I've struggled with the thought of starting a blog.  Who am I to think that I'm important enough to have one?  No one will read it.  Then I thought to myself, "Maybe one person will, and maybe that person needs some help on their journey." Also, the thought of starting a blog about my weight loss journey terrifies me!  I don't want to put my weight up for the world to know...but if that number keeps falling, who cares, right? :) To begin. I have, pretty much, always been the chubby girl.  I gained weight when I was about 7 or 8, and it just kept piling on. One of the first steps to losing weight is: understanding WHY you gained it in the first place.  So, why did I gain my weight?  Simple, I'm an emotional eater.  My life has been amazing!  But has it been full of sunshine and daisies, unicorns and rainbows?  No.  Life's been hard.  If things get hard or stressful or sad, I eat. When I was 8 my mom got REALLY sick.  She was diagnosed with kidney fai

My Goals...NOT Resolutions

Image
Just a quick update on my week:  I've done good!  It was my birthday, and I even went out to eat a few times and I still lost weight!  I've stayed on track with my new healthy lifestyle, and I am SO happy! Like I said last week, I have goals that are different from my resolutions.  My resolutions are set to help me become a better person.  My goals are just things I want to accomplish.  So here are my list of goals for 2013:  (Some of them are motivated by my weight loss.) 1.  Go skydiving.   I already have a few friends that are on board to do this.   You have to be at least 200 lbs. before you can go skydiving.    So this one is a goal and kind of a reward.   SO excited! Do you like my awesome "Paint" project? :) haha 2.  Pay off debt.  I'm not swimming in it, but I am a student who doesn't really qualify for grants or scholarships. 3.  Get an Ipad.  Yup. :) 4.  Hike Havasupai.     My weight has always held me back when it comes t
