I did it! I have lost 20 pounds! I am so proud of myself and all of my hard work, and believe me, it is hard. Every time I eat something I shouldn't or I skip a day exercises, I don't just not lose weight, I gain weight. I have been working on this for a month and I have 11 more to go and at least 80 more pounds, but I know I can do it. I have also dropped a full dress size and I am close to losing another. I am in the bathing suit I wore two years ago and it is comfortable and not at all snug! I wore a dress to church today that usually gaps a bit in the chest area and was snug, and today it was a bit too loose and comfortable. I am so blessed to have a family that supports me through this endeavor. I already have more energy and more of a desire to get up and do things. I hate to just sit (until at the end of the day when I am POOPED!). I am excited that this is a 3-day weekend, especially since James had to work on Saturday.
