Well, I got on the scale this morning and when I looked down I realized I hit my 1st goal of losing the first 50 lbs!!! I still can't believe I am actually doing this and how great I feel!!!

To make things even better, I am off work tomorrow and heading to my uncle's cabin in Blue Ridge, GA for a long weekend. I'm going horseback riding for the first time since I was 7 years old.

Congratulations! That is a significant milestone on your journey! Your trusty steed will appreciate the thinner you, no doubt! Have a wonderful weekend. You certainly deserve to reward yourself for all your hard work! And what better way than a horseback ride!

That's great! I remember that first 50 lbs. It was such a major sense of accomplishment. You are doing great and your weekend plans sound fantastic.

50 pounds, that is GREAT!!!

Next time you are in the store pick up a 50 lb. bag of dog food (or any other item that is 50 lbs.), it is an amazing way to let you know how far you have come and how much weight you have taken off your frame.
