Today marks 2 full months on NS.  I can't tell you how many times over the last 15 years I said to myself..."if I had just started to lose weight when I said I would, I would be thin now!".

Well, I am here to tell you 2 months ago today, I finally started!  Today I weighed in for the week and lost 4.2 lbs for a total of 36 lbs in 2 months!  This time I am sticking to it.  I am going to lose the weight and get back to being someone my kids (21 & 20yrs old) never knew.

Yesterday at work people are finally starting to take notice, or at least not afraid to say anything.  Boy does that feel great.

Keys to my success have been sticking to the plan, drinking the water and more water, and staying committed to doing this for me.  I want to be healthy again and live in pain and discomfort anymore.

In all honesty, the only reason this is working and I have stayed true to the course for 2 months is my mindset.  I am finally committed to making good choices and not giving in to temptation everytime it is dangled in front of me.  It all starts in the head.

I set a mini-goal for myself to be at 250 lbs by Christmas.  Today's weight is 256.  I actually hope I can make it by Thanksgiving now!

Thanks to all my friends on NS for your support and encouragement.  I still have a ways to go, but I no longer doubt I can do it.

Feel free to contact me if you need any support or encouragement as well.  This is a good plan and it will work if you commit to it.

Have a great NS weekend!
