Sixty
S-I-X-T-Y. Six zero. 60. SIXTY.
It's official. I have lost sixty pounds. It's a number that I am having trouble fathoming.
I am immensely proud of myself.
And, now, I have no idea what to do with myself. Maintenance is key, and I've been chugging along with that for a while now, experimenting with my food intake. I've been at this weight now for three weeks. I'm still exercising almost daily, and avoiding high fructose corn syrup/trans fats/hydrogenated oils/white flour. I've been adding in some treats now and then, though.
Sixty pounds.
Whoa.
Good for you, Carmen!! That's incredible! You've lost a whole grade school kid :) You should be so proud!

Wow Carmen, what an inspiration! I gained 40 lbs after my last child & have only lost 1/2 of that. I was feeling down for not having been able to lose the rest.... until now! Thanks for motivating me again. Congratulations on your AWESOME achievement!!!

Congratulations! That's awesome! That took a lot of effort, mental and physical. You should be proud of what you have achieved. You were a strong person to undertake the challenge, and you are even stronger now for the difficulties you have overcome.
Now, would it be too forward to ask to see a before & after pic? I always find them so inspiring. (I have lost 20 pounds and I still have 15-20 to go!)

Carmen that's is AWESOME! I'm jealous. I started WW a couple of weeks ago and its SLOW going. How long did it take you to loose it?
