Everyone wants to know where I am at in my weight loss journey.  Well, I have gone from a size 28, to a 8!   I have currently lost around 138 lbs and am just amazed!!  I'm definitely not trying to lose anymore, my main goal now is to keep up the work outs and nutrition- that's the way to keep it off forever!

Now I think it might be time to address a couple of questions and comments that I keep receiving.  On the issue of extra skin.  I do have it.   About 10 pounds of it, if my doctor and Marcus' opinions are accurate.  Because of my age, and the amount of working out I have done, I have been lucky enough to keep it mostly in hidden places.  I am so proud of how far I have come, and I have worked and continue to work on leaving 'stupid' out of my vocabulary, that I am not about to let a few problem areas stop me from enjoying my life!!  When and if I can ever afford to have to skin tucks done, I will of course jump at that opportunity, but I refuse to let my brand new confidence level take a hit due to a little extra skin!  Everyone has 'problem areas', and I am no different!  :)  So for those of you who have written me about what to do with the extra skin, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you to forget about it!  :)  Work hard, play hard, and enjoy your life!  Why replace one worry or concern with another one if you don't have to??!!  :)

I'm happy, content, a normal, average weight, and I still have insecurities and issues, just like always.  I just don't let them run me anymore.  That's the bottom line.  And it's great to have finally been here for long enough that this is my norm now... So great!
