Well I began taking my weight off January of 06' - seems like forever ago!  I choose not to say lost it because I never want to find it againI started at 220 and I lost the first 30 pretty quickly.  But by the summer of 06' I plateaued, got frustrated and stopped working so hard.  I hovered between 190-195 for about a year and half and by January of 08' I had had it.  I weighed in at 194 on January 24th and found CC.  SAVED me for sure!

For the past few months I have been working my butt off and counting EVERY calorie and today I am down to 183 (with shoes - yes, that makes a difference:))

 Although it has been slow it has now been a steady race.  My goal is to run the Twin Cities 10 mile in October - it just may happen this year!

April 26, 2008 - my birthday - lowest weight that I can remember - literally, the lowest I can remember seeing on a scale - 176!!!

UPDATE:  Didn't run the TC 10 mile last fall - I was pregnant!  I found out I was pregnant in June of 08'.  I weighed 174.  When I gave birth I was 197.  I only gained 23 pounds when pregnant.  I was so proud of myself!  With my husband living in another state and being a single parent for 4 months, I forgot about myself.  I weighed myself at the begining of September and weighed 198.  Who drops all their baby weight (at my 6 week appt I weighed 175 - I had my baby in Feb.) and then gains it back???? 

I've begun all over again and so far I have lost alomst 5lbs.  It's slow, but its progress.  So here we go...
