Hi folks,

I feel great, still slowly but, surely losing the weight. In feb. of this year-9 months ago-I weighed 194 and now today, I weigh 168 lbs. My goal weight is 150 lbs., so I have 19lbs to go. Some things that I do are I exercise consistenly. I eat healthy and don't drink soda or eat candy, before i did this almost daily. I eat more at home now than out at restaurants. I eat a very limited amount of bread. I think the biggest changes I made were self-control when eating and exercising. The greatest changes I made is my attitude. I don't think ok I am eating this way than when I reach my goal weight I can eat anything. This is just how I eat now period. I also watch the show the Biggest Loser, not to get tips or anything but rather, encouragement. Some of the contestants weigh double what I weigh--and it motivates me to think that if they can do it so can I. They have the courage to go on national tv and change their lives.  I hope this encourages someone.
