Checking in
Well my surgery was on AUgust 25th and on Tuesday of this week I hit 60lbs!!
I have been working out 4-5 days a week and have been faithful to the regime.
I find it hard not to compare myself to CHris and others who seem to lose it a lot faster, but have faced the fact that 2-3 lbs a week is what I can expect.
Suddenly, people are noticing and its great to hear it!
see you at the next Living Life Meeting!!

Lisa!!!
Awesome! 60 pounds!
You're workin' it Darlin'!
I'm so proud of you!
Okay, time for some pep-talkin'
#1 Where would you be right now if you hadn't begun this journey in August? Probably about 65+ pounds higher than where you are now!
#2 You're able to move around more easily now! Can you imagine working out 4-5 days a week about six months ago? You're amazing!!!
#3 Come on now...you KNOW a man loses weight more easily than a woman. AND everyone loses weight at different rates. You're actually (like me) considered a 'light-weight' coming into this journey. We tend to lose the weight a bit slower than others.
#4 Slow and Steady wins the race...I know you HATE hearing that! But TRULY the slower you lose, the more likely you are to keep it off! This is a life-long journey! There's no real finish line! Where you are now, today, is just a small moment in time compared to the rest of your life's happy, healthy journey!
#5 Look at yourself in the mirror and say....."Lisa, YOU are Lovable, Capable & Worth It" You are doing great!!!
See you next week!

Slow and steady wins the race is my new mantra. I'm slowing down on my weight loss, too, but I'd rather lose it slowly (just as I gained it) and keep it off!
Keep up the great work!
