Moving on down...

For the past couple years I have been working hard on to lose weight. I have been pretty successful...with some bumps in the road along the way.

However, for the past couple of months it's been horrible. I haven't gained any weight...but I just couldn't seem to make the scales go down. It is beyond frustrating! I just kept on doing the things I needed to do...and didn't let myself backtrack (which is so easy for me to do this time of year)!

BUT...finally...it paid off! This week I am down...and have made it to 91 lbs lost! That alone is amazing to me...and I feel horribly proud of myself! I've learned to make better choices...work hard...and not lose hope during the times I don't have tangible results!

I'm very excited and I just wanted to share!

Thanks to my friends that have been there!!!

Just wanted to stop by and say congratulations. That is good news to hear. I started my new way of eating almost 2 months ago and I am doing well with weight loss. Thank you for sharing your success.

91 pounds! Woo hoo! Can you share what kind of things you chose for better choices? How did you get through the hard times and not fall off the wagon? This is very inspiring!

Your message is truly inspiring, not only for the awesome weight loss, but because you got through a dreaded plateau. Everyone reaches a weight plateau now and then during a weight loss program. They're killers. I've learned that you just have to dig in and stick with it. Don't backtrack. Don't get so discouraged that you begin to eat out of frustration. You did that. Well done!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
