Here we go! A diary for 'the last 20'!!

:eek2: Those pics are amazing!! Such a huge difference in just 5 months! :hurray:When was the last time you felt so good?
:grouphug: that's for the messages you have been leaving me in my journal! Your always so right - I wish you could be my mentor or my big sister!
I agree that night time snacking will be a battle of mine for life - as long as I keep battling and not give up I will be fine!
I aspire to be as strong as you mentally - I know I know I need to read that book - I wonder if they make a copy that I could listen too?? I'll have to look into it!
Congrats on how far you have come - I think you need to make a new journal since you are already past your goal!! Enjoy the weather and take care of yourself. Also a pleasure to see you around. :waving:
 
I haven't been to your diary in forever! I miss you! The pics are amazing, and you look great as always!!! 127?!! AWESOME! I have to admit I'm a little jealous!!! :p But I will get there someday..... The running clinic sounds like it will be a lot of fun! It's good to get yourself involved in things like that to make sure you stay on track. Thanks for stopping by my journal and for your post... I feel like I'm back to my 155lb self - to give it all I got and to lose this weight!!! Now I'm extra EXTRA determined because of you! You are a great role model.... thank you!!

Hey guys!! Sorry for taking so long to update... life has been busy!! It's also been really good too though.

Running clinic started last week and I am so happy I'm doing this. I've already met some great people and it's really pushing me to the next level. Running outside is freakin HARD!!! I'm in the experienced group right now, but may have to drop down a level. I was going to start in the middle, but was talked out of it :p We run 2x/wk and then there is a bonus run on the weekends which you do on your own. I did the bonus run yesterday on the treadmill and it was so easy... today I did it just around my neighborhood and struggled. I really am loving it though!!

The cleanse went really well. I was really tired in the beginning and got a bit of a cold at the end. My body did some really weird stuff which I am not used to, so I'm really curious to see how things go over the next couple of weeks. I trying to stick closely to the diet for a while as well (no dairy, wheat, sugar). The wheat is really hard and I'm wondering if I'm not a little hypoglycemic.

My weight has been consistantly under 130 for almost a month now and I'm really happy with my body image these days. I got down to 123 on the cleanse which is too low for me, so I've got it back between 125-127lbs where I'm happy.

I have thought about starting a new journal, but my journey now has really shifted away from weight loss and onto nutrition/overall health.

Thank you for all the continued support. I'll be back soon :)

Wow Marie! It sounds like you are doing really well. The running clinic sounds very cool! I must say I am a little jealous of where you are at right now with your weight! But I will be right there with you soon I hope :) And I am very happy for you that you are happy with yourself. Talk to you later!

What an amazing journey. I am here to lose 20lbs too, and I hope to get there like you did in 5 months. Your story is truly inspiring. Keep up the good work. My best to you.

Hey Lisa, sorry for being away for so long. Maintaining is great. Honestly I don't even think about it as maintaining, it's just the way I live now!!

Can't believe your wedding is so close. So exciting!!! Can't wait for the pics :)

Here are a few pics from our Mexico trip last week.
