Counting my losses

I've lost a few pounds since my last post -- in fact, I'm down to 253 pounds. That's a total of 45 pounds since January!

I feel so much better. I'm eating better, healthier foods. Heck, I'm even eating yogurt!

If I can do this -- Anyone can do this! :)

19

Tomorrow is my 19th Anniversary. This year I give my DH a gift he's been wanting for a long time: a happier, healthier me.

Since July 2008, I've lost 42 pounds and I'm still losing. As a matter of fact, I weighed in on May 4th and I'd lost another 4 pounds. That takes me to 256.
Yes, I have a long way to go but I've come a long way, too.

So, Mike, this is for you, sweetie. :)
