Checking in ...

Hello lovely peoples. It has been awhile since I have been around. I am keeping busy and doing great. I am down 38 pounds total so far and 240 pounds to go but my next mini goal is only 12 pounds away. I plan to join an exercise club at that time. A family member goes to a local shapes and has a personal trainer and loves it. I may try that. I know I am worth it. I am using the medifast plan and chose it after much consideration and with my doctor's supervision.

WOOHOO! Good for you! You're doing fabulous! How long have you been doing this now? 38 pounds is lovely! Feels good huh?

Oh I forgot the time frame. I started February 8, 2008 with 3 different weeks without loss. It seem like a long way to go in the beginning but looking back... I know this time I won't gain it back, it is gone for good. I am learning alot along the way and have a much better body image and think of food differently.

I know you are working SO hard! Keep us all of your hard work!!!

I am sooooo happy for you!! It is really awesome to hear you so happy and doing so well. Keep it up and don't let anything stand in your way. Beth

VERY GOOD! Congrats on your loss and also a very good decision to start the gym in 12 pounds. You will see that it speeds up things and makes you want to do your best. To start out, a personal trainer is a very good idea.

I am inspired by you! Keep it going

Thanks so much for the wonderful comments and support. I am 40 pounds down and feeling great. Also the personal trainer tip is great. I was just talking to my mom this morning and learned my brother's wife has a personal trainer at a local exercise club and it is near my husband's office so that is even sweeter. Celebrate with me this weekend and take a moment to pamper yourself as a reminder that you are worth i! Big hugggsss! ~~ aingeal ~~
