Thats right its official!!!
Straight from my Drs scales!!!
That 57 total lb lost since My heaviest.
I am the lightest I have been in 8 years
The Dr was so impressed with my improvement in my diabetes that he said "you may just make this a disease of your past"
Holy cow...7 months ago he was about to put me on insulin!!!

I feel soooo good today.

New goal...60lbs off by next Saturday!
By the way I rode my bike every day this week including 14.13 mile this morning.. I am gonna bust that 200 mile mark for April.. I am at almost 160 now.

Fantastic job, mate!! Awesome news with the doctors report.Lets keep the ball rolling...Hope you have a fun filled weekend!!
 
Hello Brawny, thanks for poppin in on my diary. It's good to see yet another rockin' the weight scale and aiming for more than just losing weight!! Great Work! ;)
 
One more little good thing about my weight loss.
I umpired the little kids T-ball game in my town this morning (my kids are past this age but Im a sucker for the little ones) anyway you have to keep picking the ball up and putting it back on the T about a jillion times a game and you know what......It was no big deal!!! Last summer all that bending over would have killed me>. Today....aint nuthin!!!

Just got off the bike...I just busted 170 miles for the month. 200 is gonna happen!

Hi Brawny, I just popped in to say hi, and say thanks for your support in my diary. I just wanted to say, that all of those "little good things" with regards to your weight loss journey add up to one HUGE success. Its all great. Michelle
 
Baby Steps, Baby Steps, Baby Steps

Gotta keep on taking them. So far so good. In fact this is by far the best I have ever done.
I bet I lost 10lbs about 20 times in the last 15 years.
I bet I lost 20lbs about 7-10 times
Three years ago I lost 40.
Gained it all back plus some interest.
Got in too big of a hurry. Not this time
Baby steps, Baby steps, Baby steps
Nearing 60lbs off. This times gonna be the last time.
 
Thats a great attitude, mate!! I know exactly how you feel! Baby steps and we will get there eventually!The journey may take a little longer but will be well worth the wait!
 
Hello Brawny, great attitude!! No cutting corners, & baby steps very good to keep in mind. I believe it to be actually faster, especially in the long run. The other way, a person always ends up having to re-start, which is a true pain. You're doing awesome! I am excited for you, and no kidding bending over and over a jillion times would have done me in over a year ago too.

I bet my dad would really enjoy that too. Lately he has a thing for the lil ones...

Truer words were never typed.

No more starting over. Gotta handle stuff as it comes...like this morning..my alarm screwed up and didnt get my bike ride in. Gonna try for tonight. React and adjust. Life will try and get in our way. Gotta just keep trudging forward. Small (or large setbacks) are to be expected.

Thanks for the good word my buds. And Ivette glad you are back.

Rode bike this morning I am over 195 miles! Its gonna take me till the last day but Im gonna make that goal of 200. I am already at a personal high cause the most I have ever done in a month before is 193 miles......Another mini milestone...savor the little things and you have a better chance of reaching the big goals. I hope to post a 60lb total soon. Maybe Sat or Sun.
 
"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
Brawny, you rock my world!!You are just pure awesomeness! ( A friend shared that word with me yesterday, I felt this a very appropriate time to use it!!)
Making milestones all over the show, you make sure you let me know when you hit that 60lb loss mark.Great way to keep moving forward!

2. I will meet my 200 mile bike goal for April (I got 79 miles to go)
3. I will be at 279 by my Dr Appointment on Friday. (281 this morning)
