Discovery Fitness Challenge/Weight Loss

[barb]

I know that some of us had signed up for the Discover Fitness Challenge and that others have mentioned in the past that they wanted to lose weight, so I thought I'd see how we were all doing...

I started going to Weight Watchers on January 13 and as of this past Saturday I have lost 19.4 pounds. I'm beginning week #3 of going to the gym. For the past 2 weeks I've gone 4 times a week and have walked between 30 and 45 minutes on the treadmill.

My mom asked me last night how much I had left until I reach my goal. At this point I have 90 - 115 pounds left to go.

I started my weight loss journey in June of 2003. This is my *before* picture. I weighed 284 pounds.

What an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
I think that is my problem. I need to take a picture of myself and post it on the fridge, the front door, the bathroom, in the car, etc...
I have been taking walks here and there, but not enough. I need to do more.
What gym do you belong to? We were good about going for about a month, and then for some reason we stopped going. Hopfully we will start back up again.

Thanks ladies!

Michelle, there's a gym here on base that I go to. I've been rolling my butt out of bed at 5:30 to go. I am *NOT* a morning person, but that's the only time of the day I can go.

Thanks Becky! :) I'll holler! :)

Great work! You really do look happy in the 2nd pic. Keep up the good work! The more you exercise the better you will feel too. I'm sure you already have figured that out.

Really, you make me want to get my butt in gear, what an inspiration!
