Why We Do What We Do

Thanks to some great people on Facebook, our page/blog is becoming more and more popular! This is extremely exciting for us, and is exactly what we hoped for when we started this journey.

Some people may wonder why we're putting it all out there for everyone to see.. Well, the answers are simple!

Reason 1: Accountability

Everyone can now keep track of not only our successes, but our failures. Because no one likes to air their own dirty laundry, it pushes us to go above and beyond so we don't have to. Also, should we fail, we have amazing people out there who will pick us up when we fall down.

Reason 2: To Track Our Progress

What girl doesn't love a journal? This is our online journal. Here we place our thoughts, struggles, victories, etc. We want to be able to look back and see how much we have changed.

Reason 3: To Motivate YOU!

I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE to see conquer their fat struggle, and I want to hear how they did it. Their stories are motivating. In the same way, we want to motivate you. We want you to see that the average joe can accomplish something phenomenal when they are determined.

Reason 4: To Motivate US!

YOU MOTIVATE US!!! Seriously, we love getting encouraging feedback. We love it when you cheer us on! It really makes a difference! When we feel like we can't, you tell us we can. Knowing that we have people out there that believes in us is so encouraging!

Thank you everyone for following us, commenting, etc, etc. We appreciate each and every one of you!!!

It's Been A While

Hola World! It's been a few weeks since I've been able to post anything, as I currently don't have internet access at mi casa. However, thanks to the local public library, I'm able to update!

So here's a few little milestones I've hit recently:

I went down a couple pant sizes (now at a 20/22 depending)

I've lost a total of 57 lbs!!!!

I currently weigh 2 lbs less than I did when I met my ex-husband. This is HUGE!!!

I'm feeling so great lately, not just physically, but about my life in general. I haven't been this happy since about 2004.. Gosh, that's a long time.

Also, I set a new goal.

As I've stated before, I absolutely LOVE roller coasters, but I haven't been able to ride one in years due to my size. Well, I've decided enough is enough! I'm not going to let another year pass without riding one. I'm NOT going to skip another county fair because there's nothing to do there but eat. Seriously, life is about living, not standing on the sidelines watching everyone else have fun. It's time for me to take back my life!

So, here's my goal:

On March 15, 2013, I will have lost at least 48 more lbs.

At that point, I'm going to go to Silver Dollar City and ride Wildfire!

I can't wait!!
