I'm LOSING it!!!


Well, literally.... depends on the day. But I am losing it.... the extra weight! I've hit a total of 35 pounds so far since I started the Optifast program through Kaiser at the end of September. It has been hard, but SO worth it! I feel so much better, inside and out. Anyways, I've been keeping it quiet, but I'm so excited! I am so thankful for my mom and Brian who have been such a good support base for me. I'll keep you updated with my journey! :)

You are doing so good! That's great about the weight lose. Congrats! You are inspiring. It's good to have you back on the blog again. I especially love the family picture and the ones of the boys, especially with Derek's mouth openin a yell or something.Merry Christmas to you all. We love you and miss you.

Can I add how GREAT you look. I don't know if it's because of losing the weight but you seem happier and have a glow (like you just had a baby).
It was GREAT seeing you guys a few weeks ago, thanks for stopping by.

Every Sunday when I'd see you, I noticed your weight loss. But since I'm so busy with primary I've never gotten a chance to tell you. But you look great! Congrats!

I noticed that you looked thinner from the above posts. I always gain tons of weight when I am pregnant and have to exercise like mad to get it off and completely change what I eat so I feel your excitement to loose that weight. We are going to be at my mom's house from the 30th to the 3rd. We should meet half way if you are in town.
