WEEK 26 RESULTS!!!

Today marks 26 weeks weeks and 6 full months since I began my "weight-loss journey" back on January 7th.

The 6-month mark brought with it a very special milestone.

For the first time in my adult life, the number on the scale didn't begin with a "3" or a "2".....it was 198. I haven't cried in years (not since I took a slapshot in hockey in a realllllyyyy bad spot) but I almost cried today. I toughed it out though, as I have these past 6-months.

After 6-months at Herbal One, I not only met my goal of 70-pounds, I surpassed it.

I've also lost nearly 76-inches....that's more than my height!

I can't thank the staff at Herbal One enough for what they've helped me to accomplish. I honestly never thought years ago when I tipped the scales at 335lbs that I would ever get anywhere close to the 198 I'm at today.

I'm not done yet either, as I still plan to lose a bit more. I'm tied with Heather at Herbal One in our "Weight Loss Challenge" I only need to lose 9 more pounds to beat her. Ric Johnson is in the challenge as well but he's going to have to hack off a limb at this point to even be a factor!

I'm still kicking myself wondering why I didn't start this years ago. I guess it's because I never believed in myself that I could accomplish this. When it comes to weight-loss, much like a lot of things in life, I think we tend to be our own worst enemies. I had some incredible coaching along the way from the staff at Herbal One and that's why I've been able to make it this far. Sometimes it's that little boost from someone else that can make all the difference in the world and keep you on track to your goal.

With Step One now complete, I'm moving ahead with Step Two - Win the Weight-Loss Challenge with Heather! I'll keep you updated on how things go with that...the victory champagne is already on ice! Joking aside, there are no winners or losers....only weight-losers...and that makes us all winners in the end.
