41 pounds and counting!!!

Well well, if today isn't just amazing! I hit 41 pounds lost today!! It has been tough, but dang!!! 40 pounds!!! That is beyond amazing to me. I honestly didn't believe I would ever lose this much this quickly. 

There was one person who did though. That was Jesse Thomas. He believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. I am so glad I reconnected with him when I did. He has helped change my life for the better. Seriously, I had no confidence and really low self esteem. I didn't believe I could ever lose weight and I had resigned myself to being overweight for the rest of my life. He changed that. He helped me see that I can be confident and have good self esteem and I can lose weight and feel better. I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there. Working hard and eating healthy and having a good support system is what is working. 

You have all been so great and helpful. I love seeing the comments of encouraging words and seeing that you are being inspired to get out there and do the same. It does my heart good to hear someone say that they are trying to be healthier just because they read my blog, or saw my picture on Facebook. It truly helps me keep going. So thank you all!

Here it is, my transformation picture so far. I started week 11 today (missed yesterday because the kids were really sick). Here is to 40 more pounds!!! Wish me luck!!!
