20 pounds DOWN Holla!!!

Hee..Hee.. I am pretty SUPER giddy this morning as I am officialy 20 pounds down from my start weight of 260 lbs on 1/7/2008!!!  The first week was a pretty dramatic loss of 9 lbs. (mostly water weight I am sure).  I found CC a week later(that is why my start weight/pounds lost is lower than 20 on here), thanks to a friend and since then I have been losing a pretty steady 1.5-2 lbs a week.  I have to pat myself on the back because I have been following my cc plan to the T and have only had one "semi" cheat which was Super Bowl Sunday evening.  Even then I manged to make "healthier" choices which never would have been the case before. 

I am so excited to be on the verge of the lightest weight I have been in the past 10.5 YEARS!!!  Before becoming preg. with my 3rd baby (SURPRISE) SHOCK OF MY LIFE) I had lost around 60 lbs. counting calories on my own.  I must admit I did not know 3/4 of the info. I know now (like making sure to eat above 1200 no matter what) and probably didn't lose that 60 in the healthiest way.  I was about 235-240ish when I got pregnant...so now being 239.6 I am on my way to being smaller than that and I am soooo stoked!!!

It's funny because yesterday I had a funky day, due to PMS (I even posted about it), but today I am feeling much better!!  I know I can do it and this site is invaluable, I thank my friend and GOD every day that I was introduced to it.  I am well on my way to a healthier, happier and LIGHTER person!! YEAH!!!!!

Congrats!  That must feel really good!  I'm on the verge of losing my first 20 too (lost 16.5 so far, as of this morning).

Way to go!
