Just wanted to do another check in. As of today I am just about halfway to my goal. I actually want to lose a total of 42 lbs since my weigh-in in October (when I first started) I was at 167lbs.
As of today, I am 19 lbs lighter! I honestly didn't think I would have been able to do it. Especially with my thyroid problem, but now I know that it really does take a LOT of dedication. Now that I'm almost at 20 lbs lost there is no turning back now. Gotta keep it up.
October 1, 2011: 167.9 pounds
November 10, 2011: 157 pounds
December 31, 2011: 152.5 pounds
Today, January 23, 2012: 148.8 pounds
I did start taking progress pics when I was at 152 pounds and will continue to take more pics. That way I have some good before & after pictures when I do my final post.
The picture on this post is a before & after. I found the pic on the left on my iPhone and it shows when I was at my heaviest ever since I developed hypothyroidism. Left side was about 7 months ago at about 165-167 pounds. Right side was taken on Friday 1/20/12 at 149 pounds.
I have been adding a lot of people on My Fitness Pal. We can all use the support, join me!

I hope that my weight loss journey will motivate and help others to start on their own journey. I thank all my supporters for cheering me on since I started. I'm not there yet, but I will get there!
Until next check in!

Congrats mama, keep going!!!!
Wow! You look great for starters. You''re taking care of what you're putting in your body.
Mind if I ask if you're incorporating an exercise routine? Any type of cardio {dance, zumba, spinning -- whatever you like} helps. Weights - light weights help sculpt, build and maintain muscle {which aids in burning fat}.
In long run, exercise {along with eating right} will make you stronger, more energetic [endorphins etc], and keep the weight off.
Til the next update!
@L Thx, Mama! I totally appreciate the support!!
@Anonymous Thank you so much for the support. I actually do my daily cardio on the treadmill. I try to go for at least 35-45 mins a day as I'm only allowed an hour at the gym in the morning before I go to work.
I also do light weight training a few days out of the week. I do feel a lot more energetic now. I will actually try to post up my regimen in the next update. Thanks for the idea. I'm sure a lot of people would like to know what I've been doing.
Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing the details. Considering you're wife, a working mom to 3 boys, I can appreciate/understand how hard it is to fit in regular exercise. You would inspire other busy moms who want to get themselves healthy-- they can find the time to do it too.
congrats gorgeous! you're doing great! keep it up!
