Just wanted to give y'all an update on my progress..... I weigh myself on a weekly basis now, since I CAN! LOL Seriously, though, I weighed myself yesterday morning. I am now at 301 pounds! Well, my top weight was 467 pounds. I am about a month shy of hitting the one year mark, so I expect that I will be under 300 pounds by the time I get to that point. I can walk around the store with relatively few problems. Afterward, though, I have knee troubles. I have a doctor appointment set for next week, so I will ask her what she thinks. Things are starting to look up for us. I found out that Dave may have to finish his schoolong in PA or NC or FL...... that will be the manufacturer specific training. The ones he really would like to go for are only located in those states. That training will be 3-6 months long, then we will have to move AGAIN to wherever he ends up working. I am KIND OF hoping he gets into a program here in Glendale Heights, as well as working for a company in this area. If he does, then we won't be moving again until it is a PERMANENT (or as close to permanent in this life) move. Keep us all in prayers!

It doesn't seem like it has been a little over a month since I updated y'all on this. Well, I hit the one year mark. And, I am happy to say, I have reached 300 pounds. Not only that, I have surpassed it! I weighed myself this morning and I am at........ two hundred ninety-six and one half pounds!!!!!!!!!! 296.5!!!! I can't BELIEVE it!!! Now, just a week ago, I was at 300, worried that I had hit a plateau and was stuck there for awhile! Now, I am excited again! If I keep on this trend, most likely 2 pounds per week, I will be around 240 in six months! I still can't believe that I saw that "2" as the first number in my weight. It has been six year since I saw that number in first place. I'm not done yet! Still have a long way to go, but I am getting there!!!!

That is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Any more updates to your amazing story?

Well, not really.....still right around that 295 mark....HOVERING! Seriously, tho, I fluctuate between 295-300 depending on the week..... you know us women and our cycles! LOL I DID get to 202, but then Christmas came...and with it, baking...well, you know "the rest of the story" But I am doing well. My weight is lower that it was when Dave (husband) and I met. So, now we are contemplating having a second child.... We will see what God has in store for us!
