AMAZING!!!!

So, last week I hit the 50.5 pounds shed mark!!! It is amazing to think that four short months ago, I was 50 pounds heavier!!!

I had to work this weekend and was sharing my story with some of the other folks. They asked if I had a picture of myself from before I lost weight. I realized I hadone on my work computer that was from April 2009, when I wasn't even at my heaviest. I have to say it was hard for me to look at. It's hard for me to believe I was ever that heavy. I never saw myself as a super fat person, but I was. I don't feel like I look much different from that photo, but I know I do. It's just a little surreal.

I also think that I'll be just below the "Obese" level this week to the 'overweight' classification tomorrow. That is also exciting. It is cool too as I quickly am dropping sizes. It took a while for me to go down in size, but once I started, it dropped like no tomorrow. I am at least 5 sizes smaller than I was on April 5th when this journey started.

I'll post the pic I showed to coworkers along with a newer one soon.

Happy Health!!

My Wii Fit said the nicest thing to me today. . . . . . it said "that's overweight"! This is the first time it's EVER told me I'm overweight -- it's always been "That's Obese"; and, if you have a Wii Fit, you know the annoying little voice it says it in. So, woohoo, I hit a milestone!! Of course, the milestone still has to be validated on Monday when I go to class, but I am confident I can hit it this week. Even if I don't hit it this week, I am confident I will hit the 50 lbs. shed this week. . . then it's only another 2 lbs to "overweight" vs. obese. . . . .
