Halfway there!
permalink
Five months and 66 lb. later I am finally halfway there. Fourteen more pounds and I am in ONEderland. It is really exciting to start to feel like 'me' again. Thank God for the band! I can't imagine how I would feel or where I would be without it.

Now my new goal is to really focus on exercise. The weather is finally starting to warm up and the best exercise for me is outdoor walking. A friend at work joined Curves and as part of a promo got me two weeks free, which I start tomorrow.

Now that I have about 60 lbs. left I wonder if I can make it by my one year bandiversary, which is Nov. 1st 2008?

Starryeyed, Congratulations! I've been working to get to my mid-way point as well. I'm almost there. I'm like you about the outdoor walking. I started mine Tuesday.

Give yourself a pat on the back, you've done a great job!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! They mean a lot! I did my third session at Curves today and I have really been enjoying it. I think it's a great addition to my outdoor cardio.
