I Finally Reached the FIFTY mark!!!!!!!!!

Well, I did it......... I finally got to the 50 pound mark. I have been trying to lose weight since November 24, 2009. I started working out at least 5 days a week, drinking water, cutting back on red meat and choosing chicken instead, cutting out breads and pastas and going with wheat and I quit eating after 5 pm. It has been almost 10 months and I weigh EVERY Friday. I weighed this morning and have lost 52 pounds!!!!!! I was ecstatic! I have been at a plateau of about 47 pounds for about a month now and it has been so frustrating being so close to one of my goals. I have taken it about 5 to 10 pound goals at a time and have gone from a size 18 to a size 12. I feel soooo much better, it feels so good getting the compliments and the attention from the hubby~heehee. I even had my blood pressure checked last week and had an outstanding reading compared to the norm. Anyway, the blog is a tribute, I guess , to say so long 52 pounds. OMG, that is like loosing the weight of Houston. That is exactly what he weighs. Anyway, don't get too grossed out with the FAT pics, but I wanted to compare the "old" me and the "new" me!

This is the NEW me
