Catching everyone up!

Before on the Left

Now on the Right

Hello Everyone!

So, a lot of you have been emailing and commenting asking me, "what are you doing to lose the weight?" So instead of answering the question's one at a time, I decided to start blogging my progress. Who knows, maybe the struggles I go through will be struggles you have or will face yourself. If there is anything I can do to make your journey better I'm glad to do it! So here is a quick catch up of the last 6 months.

January: starting weight-330lbs.

I lightly worked out and watched what I ate for the next few months and lost about 8lbs.

I then made the decision to hire a personal trainer, which was one of the best decision's I EVER made. Her name is Thalia Toler, she is the fitness manager at 24 hour fitness in Bedford and is a master trainer. She is absolutely wonderful! She pushes me and challenges me in ways I can not even describe!

Starting weight with Thalia: 322.8

I have been working out once a week with Thalia, plus another 5-6 days on my own. I have been logging everything I eat, and watching my fat/protein/carb intake, and making sure I make the best choices for my body. Since starting with Thalia I am down 38lbs. for a total of 45lbs lost since January.

Current weight: 285.2lbs

Well, I can't promise I'll always be good at this, and I can't promise I'll lose every week, or lose big ever week... but I can say that I'm very passionate about what I'm doing, and what I want for my life. Please feel free to comment, ask questions or give me your imput... I'd be happy to share the knowledge I have gained. :) Good luck with the weight loss, and getting healthy! Life is wonderful, and working out and eating healthy is not about getting skinny and looking cute (though that's a plus) It is about having a healthy lifestyle, and being healthy!!
