Within Reach

I finally feel like my weightloss goal is in reach- it is a great feeling! This saturday's weigh-in showed a loss of 1.8 pounds (much better than last week's .2!). So I now have 22.6 pounds more to lose. And I feel very excited that I will be able to accomplish this feat in hopefully a few months. I know the closer I get to my goal weight, the harder it will be, but I know that if I persist I can achieve my goal.

I am 6 months postpartum and I have already lost 47.4 pounds. I just calculated that amount... that is almost hard to believe! 20 of those pounds probably came off once I delivered my baby and left the hospital... but still 47.4 pounds I don't have to lug around anymore- whew!

I feel so energized about the changes I am making, which in turn are helping me be healthier. I just heard on the news that if childhood obesity continues the way it is going 1 in 3 children will have type II diabetes as adults. That really scares me. I hope to continue leading a healthy and active lifestyle so my family can avoid this scary statistic.
