18 Pounds Down……YES!!
Hey….Here I am actually making a difference in my life, I actually can’t believe that I am able to stick with the program I chose. I do thank God for giving me the strength to turn down all the foods that have held me hostage for so long. I know that once i get into my maintenance phase I will again be in temptation village, so I’m hoping to keep myself in check for a lifetime.
So I am 18.7 pounds down in 26 days, that gives me such a boost and helps me believe that it is possible to get this weight off!!!!!
I am going back to personal training this week I need to start getting some muscle, and I’m going to force my husband to start taking weekly pictures of me so I can see my progress!

Thank you on the congrats!!!!! I actually went to a medical weight loss program in the town I work in. I basically had to leave all of my weight loss ideas behind and put my trust in a doctor who has been in the business for 30 years (make sure you check backgrounds). I have paid countless personal trainers, took countless spin and step classes, but I really needed to address my nutrition and thats what it came down to.

I saw you paid me a visit
Congrats on the weight loss. WOOHOOOO!!!! That is awesome. I went to a medically supervised program as well to lose my weight. It will definitely give you a great foundation for when you have to do it on your own.
Here’s how it went for me: 1st year–easy as ‘pie’ (though none allowed); 2nd year–yup, lived in temptation village and constant fluctuations, ate what I was craving then back on program; 3rd year–scared s*^%less that I was gonna mess up and go backward. Now, year four, I’ve mellowed out, I’ve lost ALL my craving and I’m not afraid anymore. When I gained over my daughter’s wedding and Christmas, I wasn’t worried one bit. I ate right, just more than I should have, still no cravings and I knew that I’d have no problems taking it off.
I’m confident that you’ll get there
