That was then this is now

Ok so here is a picture of me at my top weight and where I am now. I hit my top weight when my daddy passed away. This picture in the blue sweatshirt was taken about 1 year ago at the hospice. Since then i have lost 40lbs!! I must say i do look so much better now and am continuing on in the journey of being healthy and feeling good. Like my mentor Sister King i have plateaued and am kicking up the exercise! We can do it! As my mother in law said "it took a while to pack on and it will take a while to come off"

Galations 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not!!

Five weeks

23.1 pounds lost.

February update

Well....I was on a big losing streak and now it has grinding to an absolute stop!

I am still eliminating wheat and dairy (except for Non Fat Greek Yogurt) from my diet.  I have added spelt and rye flour occasionally.

I also am not eating potatoes or sugar.  White is gone!

Not sure why the standstill...hoping it ends soon!

I have lost 8 lbs since Jan 1st.  10 lbs since Nov 2012.  I was really hoping to lose another 7 by March 15th.  Not sure that will be happening at this rate.

One thing is I know I have eaten too few calories.  I know that is bad and I really need to add more in.

I also know I need to put exercise with the program as well.  I did walk 5.33 miles today.  Just need to do more on a consistent basis.

How is it going for the rest of you?  Shoot out a post and let us hear about your frustrations or your victories.
