BLOGSPOT VIRGIN!

Ok, this is my first post... Let us see how well I keep up with this or if i totally forget about it in a week. I do have another blog out there but I will use this one for weight loss since my other one is private and Ive had that one for nearly 8 years.

Anyway, I want to share a picture of me at my heaviest... ~200lbs. This was taken 4 years ago in Atlantic City in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. I was in a size 16, nearly in an 18. I would get heartburn nearly every night, was tired all the time and was just generally UNHAPPY. Not too long after this picture was taken I decided that I needed to lose weight.

I do the low-carb thing but I do allow myself 1 day a week (usually Saturdays) to eat whatever I want. Ill make cookies for my son and I or whatever and eat what i like. Hell, even toast. This way I don't feel like I am depriving myself too much of anything.






SO! Here I am today at 152lbs and a size 8. Now that I am down to this size, the weight doesn't want to come off nearly as fast as before. :-\ I do the elliptical, walk or the p90x videos like 3-4 times a week. It's hard, especially walking in the South Texas heat. But, I AM determined to get down to 130 by the end of August! It's been a long, hard, emotional journay but i know I can do it. Oh, and I don't get the heartburn anymore, Im MUCH happier and i just feel better. I know some of you know what Im talking about.


Feel free to leave me comments, Im still new to this so excuse anything stupid I say/do for a little while. :)
