Today marks 8 weeks since we started program. 8 weeks, 2 months, however you look at it is the longest I have ever stuck 100% with a diet, although now our mindset is shifting that this is no longer a diet but a way of life!! Needless to say I am pretty pumped up!! We still have amazing energy, are still sleeping like teenagers, LOL, and the scale continues to shift downward.
Tim has 5.2 more pounds and he will be at his goal weight of 170. I'm so happy for him!! He hasn't seen that number since he joined the military 32 years ago. The not so great part (at least for our pocketbooks) he is needing new clothes. None of his pants fit him any longer, his belts he had to make a new notch, his motorcycle helmet is too big for his head now, and if he fell off his motorcycle the motorcycle pants would probably fall off too. I guess it's a sort of good problem to have in a way :) Can't wait for him to go back to our doctor and have her see his awesome results!! She's been at us for years to lose the weight and we are definitely going to give her the information about this amazing program!! Plus to hear them say that he no longer has to be on any of his meds will be like music to our ears!!
This week he lost a total of 3.2 lbs with a running tally of 30.2 lbs. This times 3 is what 30 pounds of fat looks like. So gross!! Can't believe we were and I still am carrying this around. This week was also our measurement week. Since starting program he has lost a total of 12" with most of it in the belly area.

I'm soooo close!! 2.3 more pounds and I will be at my first goal. 199 lbs. I haven't seen that number in 13 years. To give you some perspective on how long that is, think about how long you were in school. Kindergarten to a Senior. 13 years.....yep now you get it!! Now you can see why I am just a little excited. I will officially be in the 100's club. But for now, I am celebrating being in the 202 club. My measurements for 2 months and I am down a total of 17.25".

Looking at my pictures from 5/13 to 7/8, Wow!! What a difference. I wish I could get people to understand how great this program is. Believe me your organs will thank you. The best part, I am starting to be able to be more active with my son. It's not so hard to do the fun things now like it was before. I don't get quite as winded riding my bike. I know for certain that if I didn't get my weight down I was on a deadly spiral, there was only two outcomes. Choose this path and get healthy, or choose to continue to eat badly and gain the 5 seconds of satisfaction in my mouth to end up in the hospital with heart failure, diabetes, or something worse. I'm so glad that I chose health. I've seen what a deadly spiral can do to someone (ps, they aren't here anymore) and I don't want that for my life!!
