The results from the last 9 weeks are in at The Big Slice Off...I came in third with an 8 pound loss! Jamie, the rockin' chick that she is, lost an incredible 16 pounds! I'm grateful to be in such esteemed company. A big thanks to Jenny who ran the contest and provided all of us with motivation and support.
I haven't blogged about weight loss in several weeks. I've stalled a bit, but seem to be able to maintain without any difficulty. I have lost a total of 20 lbs and feel like I have about 20 left to go. If I can stay away from the wine and the pizza, I just might be able to do it.
I'd be willing to bet that my cholesterol is down too. I have been eating so much less fat and exercising way more than I used to, I can't imagine that it hasn't come down. It wasn't all that high to begin with, but I was wanting it to come down a bit. We'll see at my next Dr.'s appointment.
Overall, I'm just feeling so much healthier. I'm still pretty tired a lot...I am going through perimenopause for sure and am having a hard time sleeping most nights. Over the counter sleep aids help for sure, but I don't want to take them any more than necessary. I also get night sweats and frequent headaches and pretty severe fatigue in the afternoons.
Oh boy!
Wow! Congrats Kris! That's a huge accomplishment :)

20 lbs????? NICE!! Wine and pizza are the first diet killers I reach for, too. Celebrate a little bit...you deserve it!

That's terrific! I could weigh lots less if I would just give up my beer. But some days, it is the only treat I get. SOY works wonders for menopause symptoms. I take a soy/calcium supplement every day.

Wow! That is no small accomplishment. I have about 15 to go, having lost 10. I lost steam, but this post motivated me to get moving again!

Congrats on the weight loss! I am taking these vitamins that have REALLY helped my sleep and energy level. They cost a bit but I found that they are really worth it. Check out Reliv.com. I take the Now (which is the main vitamin) a energy mix and fiber one. They instantly helped me - no more coffee in the afternoon and that 3 O'Clock melt down is gone. My sleep has also inproved and my MANY aches and pains are a bit better - still there but better
If you want to try them let me know and I will give you Trina's number as she is selling them (that is Kelly's widow) She started taking them because of the night sweats and they helped her : )

OMG!! I am going through the SAME exact thing!! What's funny is, as ateen I didn't care much about how fat I was. But after 2 kids..FORGET IT!! I am determined to finally look and dress waaaaay cuter! I weighed myself today thinking I was 200 or so and it said 195!!! I could NOT believe it! The last timt (I think) I saw that number, I had to be, like 10 years old.
Come check out my blog, if you'd like where I go into further detail about being a "Yummy Mummy" b/c I'm still in the age range for 2 more years.
