My Journey Through Life

Tomorrow will be 24 weeks since I started this challenge! That means that the following Monday, June 7th will be the half-way point. I started out on December 14 with the 50 pounds in 50 weeks challenge. I have not kept up with posts like I did at the start...I will try to get better at that. I have made such progress and I feel great! Every week I am afraid that I will not lose or that I will gain and I haven't had a gaining week since I started. I lost another pound this week! It is getting harder right now. I want to snack more, but I am conditioned to not snack all the time.

I missed a week of posting my weight loss! Well, now I am up to half way to my actual goal, not just the 50 pounds in 50 weeks. I was sick last Saturday, but I lost 2 pounds, lost another pound this week!! As long as I eat the amount of calories Sparkpeople tells me to eat and burn the amount of calories it tells me to eat, I lose weight. I don't have to kill myself with exercise in order to see results and I don't have to starve myself. People won't recognize me at the reunion in July, I will look so different from last year! I wish I could get a life-sized cut out of a picture of me from last year to bring along. Looking forward to another good week and some time off next weekend!!
