New Year

Happy New years!! Our group took the month of December off and have all decided to start off the new year fresh and ready for a new goal in our personal health. Each week we will post out weight and how much we lost with a goal for the week. We will see each week who the winner is and who met the personal goals they each set for themselves. I am excited to encourage and help change the lives of all the women in our group!!

Four years ago I went to the doctors office and for the first time I saw on the scale that I weighed over 200 pounds!! I know I had been heavier then that but just never saw it on the scale. This was in March by Oct that year I had lost 45 pounds and had a life changing experience. My personal life changed in so many ways. I was never unhappy and Ii loved the life I lived I didn't think loosing the weight would have changed my life so much!! I knew I had made it to where I wanted to be when my husband looked at me one night ( i will never forget this) and said Deb I feel like I am almost cheating on you with you. I can't hardly see the person you used to be. Now I don't take that as an insult but as a wonderful complement. Usually people who you live with don't see the change but I had changed so much he actually saw a whole different person!! There was one other time that I just couldn't see the difference in the mirror, I knew I had lost a lot and my sizes had changed so much so I knew I looked a lot better, I just couldn't see it, so my husband again surprised me and one day I went into the bathroom and there was a picture of my old self heavy but happy of course eating at my favorite restaurant. I asked him why this was taped on the mirror. He told me I want you to see the person you used to be and look at who you are so you can see there is a big difference.

I hope this group encourages you and helps keep you focused. I will start to post the long term goals and weekly goals as they start coming in. I am so excited bout this!!
