Weight loss.........again!!!!




I'm so hoping this is the last time I have to do this. It seems I get an amazing amount of will power to lose the baby weight right before the holidays. I stick with it through the holidays as well. So 5 1/2 weeks ago I decided that I was going to do it for good. I can proudly say that I have stuck to my way of eating 100%. The results 26.5 lbs gone. I'm hoping to be at my goal weight by June of 2009. I will be posting updates of my weight loss weekly, and pictures monthly. I'm so excited to lose the weight this time around because I'm so much more educated. I found out May of 2007 that I have Insulin Resistance. I make way too much insulin so my body resists it and I'm unable to process anything that metabolizes to sugar quickly. So my body just turns it straight to fat. I'm on a medication that helps my body with reconizing the insulin but it's not a cure all. I still need to watch what I eat very carefully. I have many scarey risk factors if I don't keep my weight under controll. I have to be healthy so I have so much determination to get healthy and stay that way. So here is a picture of my starting weight and current as of today.










So here you go. Those before pictures are just scarey. I'll update with weight loss in a week and pictures in a month.
