Pausing to reflect that in March of 2012 I was pushing 280 lbs. When I joined FS at the end of June of this year, I weighed 255 lbs. Today's weigh-in makes me happy. That's a drop of 50 lbs so far, although the first 25 was not an intentional choice. More importantly, I've made a huge change in lifestyle. Daily walks, eliminated most processed food and sugary drinks. I've started cooking protein and vegetable meals and baking healthy snacks. I am working to conquer my mindless eating so I can enjoy the occasional treat without going overboard.
I have a long way to go on this journey, at least another 80 lbs to get to my goal weight, but I really have to enjoy the successes along the way. My clothes are getting looser. I've dropped from size 22 to size 18 jeans. I can wear my new winter coat that was getting too snug to wear last year. I have more stamina when I bike, swim and walk.
I am grateful for this community for being so supportive and inspirational in my journey.
