WELCOME TO MY PROGRESS PAGE!!!!
In an effort to keep myself motivated and accountable, I'm putting my progress and my photos up here to keep me going in my weightloss efforts!

I started my weightloss journey in Feb of 2004.  We got an elliptical trainer from Sears with our tax refund and I work out 3-5x a week on it.   I lost 16 pounds doing workouts and doing portion control with my meals.

In May, I decided I needed something more to get me motivated, and losing like I should be, I joined Weight Watchers online.  I didn't have the time for weekly meetings and I wanted to be able to use all the tools and fun stuff that the online membership offered.  I joined with another friend at the same time to be accountability partners.
To date I have lost 20 pounds total and feel GREAT!!!  I love the way the points work and still allow me to eat all my favorite foods!!  Also has taught me how to change recipes around to be healthier.

I am still working out on my elliptical, but having to keep motivated with that.  Sometimes it's hard to find the time to do my workout with 2 kids, a dog, and 2 cats running around.  So I try to do it when there's a mininum number of "bodies" :)  I have since lost another 4 pounds, for a total of 24 pounds!!!

Down another 3 pounds for a total of 27 pounds lost!!!  Got my nose pierced to celebrate my 25 pound weightloss and also got my hair colored.
My heaviest weight in October of 2003.  I weighed in at 252 pounds!  Very hard to do things that I wanted with my kids and got winded fast.  Also I just hated shopping in the plus size section!!!
This was my costume for Halloween-Static Cling!!!
At my cousin's 18th birthday party the end of February.  I just started working out and doing portion control.  It doesn't show here yet, but I look at this pic and notice my "belly" UGH!!!
January 2004 at a fundraising dinner.  I HATED this picture of me, but I know where I am now and am sooo happy!!!

Feeling better about myself!  I used to HATE having people take my picture!
April 2004, I bought myself a top from Old Navy-a place I had never been able to fit into their clothes :)  This is my "feel-good" shirt.  I had lost 15 pounds at this point.
