Last week marked the 6th Month that I started
my "change of life" journey.
So I thought I would share my results with you
all..

So far I have lost 10 inches from my waist,
10 inches from my hips,
4 inches from around each upper arm,
2 inches from each upper thigh,
2 inches from around my calves.
My BMI (body mass index) was
45 and is now.. 31.2
I have lost 10% body fat as well.
I feel the best I think I have ever felt.
It has not been easy yet seeing the results
keep me motivated to keep going towards
my goal.
To date I have lost 63 lbs and have
37 lbs left to hit my personal goal of 100 lbs.
I have cleaned out my closets and gotten rid of
so many clothes. Now am enjoying shopping for
smaller sizes.
The owner of the gym told me I was an inspiration
as I cried at my achievement. I told her I had never
been an inspiration for anything like this in my life.
I have even had a couple people at the gym tell me
this too. All I can say is, if I help one person see
that it is possible to change habits and your health
than it is a great reason to keep on going in the
directon I am heading.
Ok so you want to see a pic.. Well here I am 2 weeks
ago. Since then my hair is much shorter. How short you
ask? Well remember Sandy Duncan? She played Peter Pan.
Yes it is that short and I love it.. Hugs everyone for a great
day..   kim

Fantastic work!  Congratulations on your achievement! I know it's tough but you're right that it's worth it.

Holy crap!  I just realized you said 6 months!  That's freakin' awesome!  It took me 13 months to lose 55 lbs.  You go girl!

You are an insperation to all of us.

NICE SHAPE YA GOT GOING ON THERE !  

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. It has been alot
of hard a$$ work. No other way for me to say it. Determination,
will power and again hard a$$ work. I am enjoying seeing the
benefits from it all though.
Yes I feel great and Genie even thanks me as well.
She doesnt miss hauling around the extra weight.
She did seem to zoom even better on Sunday than in the
past. She zipped right along and kept up with the hubby's
Shadow. I had not ridden her in awhile and definetly noticed
a difference with the weight loss.
If some of you are wondering if I did Jenny Crain, Weight Watchers,
or even had stomach surgery, the answer is NO to all.
I have just eliminated alot of the things I used to eat as well as how
I cooked and the portion sizes. That along with again the gym,
Zumba and working nights has done it.
My moto has been from day one.
"One Day at a Time, One Pound at a Time."
I haven't nor plan to let myself get discouraged when in some
weeks I lost only 1 lb or didn't lose any. I just kept it up and
even stepped up the work outs.
Oh and my Mom and I are planning a trip to Hawaii next January.
Gotta get bathing suit ready..  
OH I can almost picture myself in the Pink chaps..    kim

Way to go!

Bill, to be honest with you. I can't ever remember being
100#..
When I started this journey, on Aug 1,2011, I tipped the
scales at 250 lbs... I am now as of this past Tuesday 185 lbs.
My goal is to be 150 and yet am thinking that possibly making
it even lower. I just have to see what happens.
All I know is after many years of battling weight, I am now able
to control it and lose it better than I have ever been able to .
I definetly can see the lights at the end of the tunnel..   kim
