First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for making my first year of blogging inspirational, motivational, and exciting:
My New Blog Buddies: Thanks for allowing my blog the opportunity to entertain and motivate you as we both struggle through our weight loss endeavor. Many times last year I wanted to surrender to the food devil and just give up, but your blogs encouraged me to persevere.
Me So Hongry First-Timers:WELCOME! Sit back, strap on your seat belt and get ready for a roller coaster ride. Experience my ups and downs with me and I hope you plan to return time and time again.
My Supportive Lurkers:You know who you are. Those of you I inspired to venture to Goodwill or try new food products, show me some love when stopping by my blog.
Well without further adieu I present my 2009 weight loss adventure in pictures:
April 2009: 2nd of 2 birthday celebrations in 1 night
January 2008/December 2009: Wearing the same shirt...45 pounds lighter.
As you can see my hard work paid off , and a long road ahead looms before me. I must work even HARDER to continue to lose and keep the weight off. I refuse to go back to this:
ALRIGHT Y'ALL, 2010 GIVES US ANOTHER CHANGE TO GET IT RIGHT! LET'S DO THIS!

ReplyDeleteHi! Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest. You commented above me, and as the rules say...I came on over to check you out! And boy! How proud you must be! What a wonderful job you've done so far. You look amazing. Keep truckin'. I'm a WW lifetime member, although thanks to an affair over the holiday break with some leftover red velvet cake, I am not over my lifetime weight. Back to journaling and counting...it really is a lifetime thing. Congrats for your commitment. The pics are worth a 1000 words! (P.S. I wore the same Halloween costume 2 years ago!)
ReplyDeleteDropping by from SITS. You really look fabulous. So glad you showed the 2008-2009 progress pictures! You have truly come a long way.

I LOVE your sense of humor! I am a fluffy girl who needs to lose some weight this year...and I feel like you need to laugh...or you will cry!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, you look great!
Hi from SITS! Congratulations, and good luck! I'm a fellow 'repeat offender' and look forward to reading more about your journey.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!! You're working super hard, I can tell, it certainly shows. I'm on the fluffy side myself, and have spent the last six months with a personal trainer to kick my butt into shape, and it's working, just slowly. I've lost about 2 or 3 dress sizes, but only about 6 pounds - my trainer keeps telling me that muscle weighs more than fat and that's why the scale isn't budging, so I'm trying to stay motivated, but some days it's hard. Happy belated new year to you!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great! Congrats on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable year in pictures! They are great:)
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that the 3-generation picture was my fave...you have such beautiful women in your family.
Wishing you the best year...May all your goals be reached!!
You are AWESOM! (which you already know)
ReplyDeleteI'm coming over from SITS and I have to say that I love a blogger that knows how to spell y'all! LOL I'm following too. I started my weightloss efforts (again) in 2010 and my motto is Fit B4 40. I have a year and almost nine months to make it.
Wow! Kudos to you. You are definitely an encouragement - keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Day!
I have been on the weight watchers roller coaster a few times, but you look great. Keep up the awesome work.
ReplyDeleteI have started to eat healthier and trying to exercise this year. I think I weigh more now than I did when I was pregnant.
Karen

ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO!!!
WOW! Way to go! You're inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning! Weight loss has always been a struggle for me, and this is my year too. Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteWHAT A GREAT MIRACLE THAT I HAVE EVER SEE IN MY LIFE. My names are Clara David I’m a citizen of USA, My younger sister was sicking of breast cancer and her name is Sandra David I and my family have taking her to all kind of hospital in USA still yet no good result. I decided to search for cancer cure so that was how I found a lady called Peter Lizzy. She was testifying to the world about the goodness of a herbal man who has the roots and herbs to cure all kinds of disease and the herbal man's email was there. So I decided to contact the herbal man @herbalist_sakura for my younger sister's help to cure her breast cancer. I contacted him and told him my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister cancer will be cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to give me that I will cook it and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how can I receive the cure that I am in USA, he told me That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week complete my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the miracle of Doctor so my dad wanted to pay him 5 million us dollars the herbal man did not accept the offer from my dad, but I don't know why he didn't accept the offer, he only say that I should tell the world about him and his miracle he perform so am now here to tell the world about him if you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get from the hospital please contact dr.sakuraspellalter@gmail.com or whats app him +2348110114739 you can follow him up on Instagram @herbalist_sakura for the cure, he will help you out with the problem.
