I can't believe the scale is finally moving down again.  I have only been losing about 5 pounds a month, but this month has been different so far.  I have lost about 7 pound so far this month and the month isn't over yet.  

I have changed a few things since last seeing the nurse at my doctors office.  I am now drinking 60 grams of protein, taking my vitamins and because of work, eating very little during the day.  I know I have to basically eliminate food in order to lose weight, (have always been that way), but it isn't easy to do.  If I eat three small meals a day, I never lose.  Because of work, I drink my shake between 7-8 in the morning, have a small serving of cottage cheese or tuna for lunch around 2-3 in the afternoon and then a small portion of meat at night and that is helping me to lose.  I am at work 12.5 hours a day when I work so by the time I get home, I eat and go to bed.  No time for snacking.  :) I am also trying to go to the gym as often as possible.  It sure feels good to see the scale going down.  It also feels good to see bones showing....I so love that look.  :)  I am still hoping to reach 100 pounds lost by 1 year, but we'll see if that happens.  I am coming up on 10 months and have only lost 80 pounds so far.  We'll see what happens.  I would like to lose another 50 or so.  Life is pretty good right now.  I'm feeling good even though I'm not sleeping much so I guess all that I'm doing is paying off.

I hope everyone is doing great on their own personal journey!!  :)
