I did it... 20.4 pounds loss...
Hello Group...
It's been awhile since I was last on... I was sick all last week with an upper respiratory viral infection (however, i think i was misdiagnosed, it was the flu)! Even though I was sick I still managed to work out with a tape at home (Miranda guess what tape- you got it 10, 10, 10- lol) and when i felt up to eating I ate within my parameters...
Well I weighed in this morning and I have hit my 20 pounds lost mark... Can you believe it... It was actually 20.4 pounds to be exact... 
! I am seeing so much change in the way my clothes are fitting and I am actually looking a little smaller in the face, so i think... I have been getting compliments from every one at work and they are so supportive of my goals... which is so cool!
I guess I better get back to work... just wanted to share my latest accomplishment. I hope every one is doing good... Good luck to everyone on their quest to losing weight...

3 tenths of a point
I am so estactic... I had a weigh in today and i am down in weight once again... I am .3 away from a total of 13 pounds loss since Jan 7, 2008! I am too excited about this accomplishment.
I have been eating the right amounts and using portion control. I have been busting the gym wide open, so it's really good to see the work payoff. I also got back into a pair of work pants that I shrunk a while back, can you say, "get it girl!"
We are starting our church 40-day fast this week. It actually started today. I have chosen the red option out of the three choices we have been given. The red group will eat fruits, vegetables & limited starches. On Wednesday and Sunday we can add meat to the diet (however the meat choice can not be fried nor can it be pork). Water should be the only beverage, except on Wednesday and Sunday (we can introduce regular beverages on those days, that includes, tea, juice, soda, but no alcoholic beverages). The fast also calls for no sweets during the 40 days... I am estatic about what this fast is about to do in my spiritual, emotional and physical life....
Well I am about to leave work, so I better close this out... I promise not to stay away too long!
Take care,

Kickboxing Kicked my Butt!!!!
Hello All,
Yesterday was a great day. I ate within my calorie contraints of 1200, this is becoming easier and easier to do with understanding portion control and having a sound mind and will to lose the weight.
I had almost psyched myself out that i wasn't going to workout yesterday, however the will in me outweighed the laziness in me. I went to the gym at about 6:00 and wasn't back home till a little after 8:00pm. I had a great workout. I first started off with the treadmill. I walked for 35 minutes buring off my breakfast & two 100-caloried pack snacks for the day...
As I was walking on the treadmill one of the class instructors asked if i would join her fitness class for tonight (for some reason it was a slow day at the gym). I said sure, before I knew what class i was about to embark on... Well to my great surprise it was Kickboxing 101... I was not even ready!!!! Oh my goodness.... and she called that beginners! I was so out of breath it was a shame... but i can report that i did make it through, however I wont be back until my staminia is back up...
