Keep This Ride Going

By May 31st my weight was  at 221. Since January I've lost 1 inch off my bust, 6 inches off my waist, and 4 inches off my hips. I lost 22 lbs and am on top of the world. Except I had a really bad sinus cold and was miserable, but HEY, I lost weight.
I started to add exercise to my plan, I didn't do anything hard mostly just walking with my dog and free weights in my basement. Dexter was happy because he was getting nice long walks. Now, I can't put on my shoes without him going insane. It also keeps me out of the fridge and food off the mind. I was on a mission it was working and had to keep going.

By the  end of June I was down to 207 lb.  I haven't seen 207 since college. I was posting like crazy on the hCG facebook sight with both my ups and down of my eating and my emotions. I started on this page to hold myself accountable but it turned out that I was motivation for others myself. I often chatted with others that had questions and I would share my experiences. The more that I could help others out, the better I felt and it motivated me. I only had one co worker ask me if I had cancer. A little surprised at that comment. But, whatever.
I had not bought any clothes because I was losing weight so fast it was useless. I had a overstuffed closet of clothes ranging from size 20 to 12 so I managed ok, just a bit out of style, but ok.  I refused to get rid of any clothes as I KNEW I would fit into them again. By July 15th I weighed 202 lbs. Another inch off my thighs, an inch off my hips and 2 inches off my chest.  Happy Dance
