This was the goal – Lose 50 pds this year..

The truly surprising thing is that it has turned out to be simple, I reduced calories, added in more walking, added in a few new wii fitness games and I am down over 40 pds and well on my way to taking those last few pds off to make my goal for the year..

As a total bonus, I am down two size’s in clothes, my blood sugers are normal, my blood pressure is perfect! my energy is up, and overall I feel much better in so many ways.

I am grateful for all the help in so many ways I have gotten from family and friends, I am proud that I can walk down that chip row, and head for the magazines, I traded my normal supersized bag of chips for my Women’s day, which not only has no calories 🙂 but helps  give me new idea’s on things to do with all my extra energy..

If someone had to push me to say what “one” thing has made the difference this year, I would have to say.. get rid of all your big huge plates, bowls etc.. I went and got the prettiest plates, bowls I could find, that were small enough that when put a proper amount of food, that your plate looks full, I always plate up my meals, no more serving bowls on the table, unless its salad, and its a very! rare day indeed that seconds happen now.

I will keep you posted when I reach my goal and what my new goal for 2011 in this area will be.. my dear hubby is right there with me and has lost over 20 pds to date..
