I now weigh less than 200 lbs!!

I am officially now 199 lbs.  I don't ever remember a time when I weighed less than 200.  We are talking pre-high school here.  It's just a weird thought to think  I weigh less now than I did when I was a teenager. 

 I don't always have the most inspiring words on this blog.  There are so many who write so much better and use words to motivate.  I don't do that.  I suppose I could, but really it's the actions that make a change.  When I say that anyone can do this, I mean it.  I was 36 years old before I took control of my life.  30 plus years of eating crap and a lot of it!  30 plus years of limited exercise.   But it can be done.  Only if you act well.   I hope I inspire by my actions, because while words are great, they won't help me lose a pound.  I once wrote that one of the things I did differently this time was to stop reading and thinking and start doing.    So I did, and here I am - 91.5 lbs less. 

I love my readers and I hope i inspire you to Do!

  12. Good job! I am in the same boat; I am now the same jeans size as I wore in high school (class of 1987, size 12). I am struggling with getting smaller than I was in HS.
    I've been stuck here for a year. I am on weight watchers, which helps keep me stable, but even when I starve, I don't lose that much.
    Please keep us posted on how you do from here.
