I'm going through some very rough times right now, but I've managed to
maintain my starting weight for August.

Carol Ann,

Good morning! Things are going great with me. I weighed in this morning at
208. The best thing is that I'm wearing size 16W shorts and jeans (and
L/XL, 18/20 shirts) that my SIL passed down to me. That's from a pre-lc
size of 28W! Oh, happy day!

Your 'challenge' is one of the best things I've ever done!

I'm almost at goal after only one week, and I'm very excited about it
because I've reached a new low. Well, new at least since the time I passed
it on my way up to 324 pounds!

Today I am at 258.1, so I'm 4.4 pounds down from where I started this
month's Challenge.

I think all of the Crosstraining I've been doing is what has been doing the
trick. I do 30 minutes each day on the Crosstrainer at my gym, 5-6 days per
week.
Also I make sure that I burn more calories than I take in, at least
according to my Fitday charts.

Lots of dancing at concerts lately has helped too.

I can't wait to see how low I can get by September 1st. Getting below 250
will be a big accomplishment to me.

I bought some skirts at Lane Bryant yesterday and I rarely wear skirts
because my hips are so wide and I always feel I look crazy in skirts. But
yesterday I tried on a size 14/16 asymmetical skirt and it fits! And it
looks nice on me! (a woman who was waiting to use the fitting room told me
so; I was hesistant to believe my own eyes). An 18/20 would have fit a
little better but I figure since I'm still shrinking I'd go with the 14/16.


It feels so good to lose weight and to notice little changes each day. 240's
here I come.

At 176, 1 more pound to go to the goal for month, and the
end goal as far as weight loss goes.

Of course, I still have lots of work still to do in terms of
maintenance and continued activity in building up some more
muscle and, now, general conditioning. I am head and
shoulders above where I was a year ago in terms of what I
can do physically, but I still get frustrated by how quickly
I can work to exhaustion on certain cardio exercises,
especially when I switch up what I do. I'm improving but
still have room for much more.
