First Weigh-In

Wow! I lost 9 pounds my first "real" week of dieting!!! I know it won't be like this every week, but I feel so excited and pumped up! I lost 5.5 inches total in my measurements, including 3 inches off of my waist! It really shows too! I am so ready to be rid of all of this weight... I'm never going to get back to that awful place again...I will eat to live, not live to eat!

    Lora!! This is so exciting!! Good for you for making the decision for a "life change" rather than a "diet" ... this will help you AND your family!

    I also got back to losing weight last Monday! We can both do this!! Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers!!

    Hi Chris I am not sure you remember me we went to school together I was April Higgins. I have also been wanting to lose some weight because I am too heavy for my body frame. I went to a doctor about the stomach surgery but I am not fat enough as they say to have it so me and my family are also going to a healthier eating plan I wish you all the luck in the world.

    I am soooo proud of you Lora!! That's awesome! What a brave thing to do! You can do it--I absolutely know you can, and you have inspired me too. If you want to set up a time to exercise with me or come to the YMCA again, I love to have a buddy to motivate me. I'd also love to know how you are planning on changing your diet. I can usually stick with exercise pretty well, but I am also addicted to food. Another guy who did this was fatcyclist.com--you should check it out sometime. WIN LORA!

    Lora, I am so impressed. It takes a lot to make goals and pursue them, but a great amount of courage to admit failings out loud. I, too, have an addiction to food. I eat until I make myself sick to my stomach and then berate myself for being so pathetic. I've been praying for the last few weeks for help with this because I know addictions come in many different forms. I needed to hear this! I am making a pact with you right now that I am with you. I will control what I eat. I will eat to live and not live to eat! I love you. Ticia Stolt

    This is awesome! You are doing so great and I can tell the difference already. I think this is a good goal, and I need it too. What kind of diet and exercise are you doing? I should be doing this along with you.
