Working my way to a new me!
Hello! I have been married for 18 years and have two teenage daughters. We also have a mini dachshund that turned 2 in May. I started a weight loss plan in April 2007 and have lost 48 pounds. I reached my goal weight (of 130) on December 17, 2007 and now have lowered my goal to 128 so that it's an even 50 lbs to lose. I have so much more energy and though I still HATE to exercise, I'm more willing to do it. I joined a gym in Feb 08 and it seems to have been the best thing I've ever done. ...

5/26/08 I ran in my first 5K race. My blog talks of the race in detail but bottom line is I finished in 38:51. Not the best time, but I'm just happy that I finished.
UPDATE: I took a break in December 2008 due to taking care of my daughter after a hip surgery and having a difficult time being here on spark, tracking my foods & exercise, and shopping and preparing for the holiday. I was totally overwhelmed and took a long needed break. As a result, I gained almost 10 lbs so now I'm back to it, tracking my foods and getting my weight back down to goal again.

Accomplishments:
In all, I've lost 48 lbs.
I've lost 5 3/4 inches from my hips
I've lost 7 inches from my waist (wow)
I've lost 2 3/4 inches from my chest (sad...I know)
I've lost 2 3/4 inches from my right thigh
I've lost 2 3/4 inches from my left thigh
I've lost 1 1/4 inches from my neck
I've also dropped from a size 16 to a size 6.
*************************************
Here is the amount of weight I've lost in terms of food with the following formula: 1 lb = 4 squares of butter, 5 lbs = 1 sack of potatoes, 10 lbs = 8 medium cantalopes, 25 lbs = 3 gallons of milk.
I have lost:
3 gallons of milk
16 medium cantalopes
12 squares of butter
When you think of it that way, doesn't it sound amazing??
