One Month and Still Loosing

I am sorry that I did not post last week. It was a good weigh in with over five pounds lost. Twice we have had to exercise for 75 minutes continuous. I wish I could say it was getting easier but I struggle, especially with balance and coordination type exercises. I really am a big lummox. But not as big as I used to be. Four weeks and I am 25 pounds lighter. My stomach is flatter. My love handles are smaller. I am wearing a shirt that is loose around the collar that in February I had to wear a button extender. I am another notch small on the belt. And I am not tired of the program yet. I really appreciate all your prayers that help to sustain me through these exercises and meal choices. Though I really cannot complain about eating. I get plenty. I just still crave foods, like cheese, chocolate, and ice cream. No wonder I was obese when I was eating all that stuff. Well, the program is working. I have lost about 39% of the total amount that I need to lose. I was reading the Mayo Clinic book on healthy lifestyle and I think I will need to lose more than Nancy has suggested because at the goal I have been set I would still be in the overweight catagory on the Mayo Clinic chart. (Sigh). Again thanks for the prayers, the encouraging words and the comments about my improve appearance. Just wish this program grew hair where it would do some good.

Biggest Loser

The first week is over and I ended up being the biggest loser our Journeys group. I lost 11.6 pounds in one week, which is 4.5% of body mass. The leader was pleased. She also was happy with my eating record for the past week. I know that it will slow down, but that it okay. This was just such a stunning start. The exercise was easier this time, but there are some of those coordinated moves that I just have trouble with. I guess I can't chew gum and walk at the same time. So I adjust as needed. Into the second week, so here goes. Please keep praying for it helps me to get through this each day.
