I am feeling great. I rocked at the gym today doing 4x the weight I thought I could do! I really realized how much I have changed as a person in the last year.
I have always been determined. I want to do things my own way and as many people could tell you, I stood my ground on the things I wanted, believed or thought. I haven't changed that determination just refocused it. I am determined to push myself to the limits. If it means adding weight or doing more reps, I'll push until I can't.
I can not take all the credit for my success. I owe it to a few other people as well.
My trainer, you have heard me mention him a few times, is amazing. He took me from doing a few lunges, fake sit-ups, barely push-ups to 100's of lunges, 100's of hollow rocks (harder than sit-ups!) and more push-ups than I like to think about. He never stopped pushing me to do more, encouraging me when I felt weak and not wanting to try anymore and amazed at how great I am today. He helped me set up regular workout routines, diet helps and a shoulder to complain to about my diet, workout and stress in relation to the whole thing. I am happy to have Zack as my trainer.
My friend Carrie offered initial diet tips and snack ideas when I was at a loss.
My friend Chantal for believing in me and what I could do it.
While my physical appearance has changed a lot and that is what many people see, it is really more of a change on the inside. Knowing I can do, want to do and have the ability to know that the only person that really matters in all of this, is me.

You are awesome girl! I'm so proud of you. I know how hard this is to do and I am glad you have a great support group that is helping you. I've 50 and I'm stuck. I know it is the workout stuff. I need to pump it up and kick butt. I have been doing pretty well with the food part. I have really become a much healthier eater. Keep it up girl!
Love you, Aunt Debra
Thanks Aunt Debra! You can do it! I hit a crazy spot too where is was hard to keep losing but I found it out that it is then that you really have to push because that is when your metablism and muscle make up are changing. It is a hard road but 50 lbs is worth celebrating! I am proud of you, it is hard to change and I can only imagine it is harder for you having a couple more years than I do. Only a couple though. ;)
