Weigh Day - Minus 41.8 pounds and Happy New Year!

It's official!  Between Turkey Day and New Years, the season where everyone expects to gain 10 pounds, I lost 7.2.  Does that put me 17 pounds ahead?

I've been doing this for 5-1/2 months now.  I got started by eating frozen diet meals and now I'm cooking!  I'm enjoying exercising, and miss it when I can't do something physically active.  Almost everything in my closet is too big, including shoes. My rings are falling off my fingers.  I put some tape on my wedding ring, but it's still flopping around.

And now it's a new year with new goals!  For the first time in my life I made it through the holidays without derailing my diet!  I think I can reasonably expect to lose between 50 and 75 pounds this year, getting me that much closer to my goal!  

But first, I have to take care of today, and then tomorrow, and then the day after that.  His mercies are new each morning!

Happy New Year!

  2. FAB-U-LOUS!!! You are a far better person than I as over this past month I did manage to find a few of the pounds I had lost! But I know the program and will get back on it and lose those pounds once again. It will be a little easier, I think, because you INSPIRE me! Thanks!

    Blessed New Years to you! Jill
