I've decided that this is going to be a monthly installment. Each month I'm going to post about something I've accomlished or some project I've completed.
For this month's installment, I want to share my weight loss success.
Two weeks ago I started a diet/weight loss program. I'm embarrased to share this, but my weight had reached 202 pounds, which is the most I've ever weighed. With my sister-in-law's wedding quickly approaching and my mother informing me that we would be taking family pictures at the beginning of June, I knew I had to do something. I was not happy with myself and I was embarrased about the way I looked. Shopping was (and still is) depressing - I was wearing a size 16 and nothing looked good on me.
I'm pleased to report that after 2 weeks of being on a strict diet and working very hard, I am down 12 pounds!! I am so excited. When I started I took my bust, waist, and hip measurements, and I've lost 1 1/2 inches in my bust, 2 1/2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my hips. I'm starting to feel good about myself again. I know that I won't be able to keep up that level of weight loss until June, but I'm hoping to loose 20-25 pounds before the wedding/family pictures/my anniversary. Do you think I can do it? I have 2 months. I think I can do it!!
I'd like to ask for your help. Each Sunday I'm going to post my weight loss from the week. I would really appreciate your thoughts and encouragement. And anyone who wants to do this with me is more than welcome. We can do it together!

Yay Kim!!! I am so proud!! You have no idea how much hearing that helps to motivate me! I keep having my ups and downs but I am slowly taking it one day at a time and its getting easier!!! I'm so so happy for you! Keep up the good work!!
I am so happy for you, Kim! You deserve to know how beautiful you are on the outside as well as the inside- YOU CAN DO THIS! Just make sure your not cutting certain foods completely out- enjoy alittle something sweet every once in awhile since your working so hard:-)
Way to go Kimmy! That is very very awesome. Keep up the good work and make sure to take care of yourself.
Good for you!!! That is so awesome and I fully support your endeavor. One thing that really helped my sister in law and Danny (when he decides to) lose weight and keep it off is a protein shake in the morning and then eating lean protein and fruit two hours after. The protein shake is actually really good, I have them for breakfast a lot and Ada loves them too. Protein shake: 1 scoop Elite Protein Powder (the brand on this is important, I get it at Good Earth, but I'm sure other stores have it), 1/2 Banana (frozen or fresh), 1/4 cup uncooked rolled oats, 6-8 ice cubes, 1/2 cup water. Blend all together and enjoy! Then two hours later eat a lean protein like some Greek Yogurt with fresh fruit in it or 1 regular egg + 2 egg whites scrambled with a whole wheat tortilla and fresh salsa.
Sorry for the novel but it seriously worked so well for a bunch of people I know!
Can't wait to see you in about 1 month!
