Thanks soltestimony!! 

My biggest tips are to cut out soda and sweet tea, I am a true southern girl and the sweet tea was my life and it is AMAZING how many calories can sneak in with that LoL  Also, at first Calorie Counting almost has to control you ~ Log everything that you put in your mouth, because you will be SURPRISED how many of those pesky little calories are in things you just wouldnt expect them to be in!!!

It has taken me 5.5 months to lose 60 pounds.  With that being said it took me four months to lose the first 50.

There were so many reasons that I wanted/needed to change my lifestyle. 

  1. I went to the doctor and was prediabetic. 
  2. Going to theme parks and having a hard time fitting into rides with my kids. 
  3. I have two teenage boys and I know they are getting to the age where this kind of thing is embarrassing to them; they have enough problems at this age that I didn't want them to have a "fat" mom too. 
  4. Being told that I was so beautiful that I could be a PLUS sized model (talk about under handed compliment). 
  5. My husband is UBER thin and I hate seeing my shadow next to his (Lmao). 
  6. Always being the "fat" friend. 
Oh there are so many reasons. 

When I look back at my pre weight loss pictures, I have a hard time believing I was actually that size, I would not have believed it if I didn't see it ~ even though I KNEW the numbers on the scale and the size clothes I had to buy.  I have always been one to hold head high no matter my size and I actually think I am critiquing my body more now then I did then.

Going to Universal Studios with my kids and husband and having to be squeezed and shoved into the rides, hoping and praying the WHOLE time that it would actually fasten and that I wouldn't have to get off of the ride.

I tell myself that a moment on the lips is NOT worth a lifetime on the HIPS!!!  It has worked for me so far.  I used to stress eat BAD, but have learned to do other things when I am stressed, go play ball with the kids, go to the beach,  read SMUT or coming on here and reading the blogs.

Thanks you guys!

Karefreeman,

My final goal is actually 131. But I figured around 150 I would start seeing how I feel and adjust accordingly.

I lost a large amount my first week also.  I think it is mostly water weight.  Since then I have averaged about 2.6 pounds per week.

I decided to go with the Gardenburger Blackbean Chipotle.  My first attempt with it, so I am not going to eat it like a burger, instead have it with salsa and light sour cream on top. 

At lunch time I went and explored the "Nature" food store here in town and found a lot of different foods that I will be experimenting with for healtier choices.  My attempt at Soy pudding was not a fun experience, maybe I will acquire a taste.... I will slip the rest of them to my children to see if I can get it past them :)  I am also letting them taste the Silk "Nog" before I decide if I want any :)

Faye - I love turkey burgers, but I am trying to expand my options and eat different things on my nutritional journey.

Molly - I will have to find somewhere here that sells Ostrich, those sound fabulous!!

I will let you all know how my Gardenburger experience turns out! Thank you for all of your input!
