burn baby, burn

I thought I'd share a little bit more about weight loss journey.

This has suddenly become a huge part of my life and I have no intention of stopping any time soon.

Now...

I'm not quite ready to share my starting numbers.

But I will share that I have lost a total of 35 lbs so far!!

I have 45 more lbs to go before I hit my first goal.

Ok I lied...

That's where I'd like to be before summer.. aka swim suit season.

My FIRST goal: lose a total of 60 lbs. (that's only 25 more from where I am now!!)

That will put my BMI inside the "overweight" range.

I will no longer be considered obese!!!

I hope to be here by my birthday - March 27, 2012

That's about 3 lbs per week that I need to lose.

I've been doing 3-4 lbs per week and occasionally hitting 5 lbs per week so I think this is within reason.

My second goal: lose a total of 90 lbs.

That will put my BMI inside the "healthy" range!!!

Goal time: July 4, 2012

That's 2 lbs per week after my birthday.

Totally do-able.

By the time I'm done I want to be down a full 100 lbs!!

That will put me at my ultimate goal weight.

I promise I will share my starting weight at some point... just give me time.

:)

Now I'll put it into perspective for ya...

This is me at my heaviest:

((with my 2 very beautiful friends Hannah and Lisa at Cedar Point))

August 2010

And now...

I weight LESS than I did here:

((at my absolutely beautiful friend Jamie's wedding... miss her like crazy))

May 2008

Can you see any difference?!?!

Even if you cant, pretend that you can.

It'll make me feel better.

Here's a current picture of me:

((yes I realize it's only my face... but I feel like my face looks good in this picture!!))

((with cute little chubby cheeks Hannah!!))

And here's some of my goals of where I want to be when I'm done:

I WILL get there.

((Pictures found here.))

Anyways...

I feel a huge difference in my confidence level.

I realize that I'm not near where I want to be yet.

I realize that I'm no supermodel.

But I feel sexier.

I feel like I can take on the world.

So world??

Bring it.
