Between my college graduation (December 15th) and January 4th, I managed to gain 15lbs! But as always, I’m back on track. I’ve lost 5 of that already, for a total loss of 43.

The trick is getting back on track..over and over again.

Losing weight really is a battle!

Discovery Health has a big program called the “National Body Challenge” at the beginning of every new year to promote weight loss and fitness that you can join for FREE. There are several benefits, including meal plans and an 8 week free trial to Bally’s Total Fitness. I have just joined myself and will be beginning my fitness routine tomorrow to shake things up a bit. You can find out more information and can join by clicking here.

I was really excited to get to 50, and couldn’t wait to take the next picture… and then I gained 4lbs back, for a total of 45lbs lost.

Full-time school with about 2 tests each week and an average of 30hours of work a week has moved my weight loss to the back burner. I’ve been kind of in limbo with the whole diet thing- losing my grip on the bandwagon. Then I weighed on my scale this morning, and much to my surprise, I’m down 50lbs!!

I will take a new picture as soon as I weigh in at the diet doctor- I feel like their results are more “official.”

Hopefully that pic will be up Wednesday, so keep an eye out.

P.S. My sister has also started a diet. What do you say we drag her on here too? Carmen, send me over that before pic!

Check the Photos page to see what a loss of 29lbs looks like!

I didn’t really think you’d be able to tell a difference, but with those pics next to each other- well, you decide for yourself. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
