Today is a big day!

As most of my friends know, I have been trying to lose alot of weight in just over 2.5 years. I hated being fat. I was 235 pounds. I would cry alot when I was alone, because I didn't like what I saw. I felt like a thin person in a fat person's body and it was just horrible. Then a friend of mine suggested Atkins. I did some research and was happy with what I read so I started it. I lost around 70 pounds on Atkins - in less than a year. Before starting Atkins I lost 20 pounds on Slim fast and just cutting out burgers and fries. After Atkins, I didn't really try for a few months. And I got frustrated again. So I began to watch what I ate again and tried to control the amount of carbs I was eating, but didn't do Atkins again, as I lost alot of hair and I am still trying to get it all full and thick again (though I don't think it will be that way again, but it's MUCH better than when on Atkins). Then I plateau'd again. So I went to e-Diets.com and filled out the free profile and subscribed to their newsletters. I liked what this one man said on there. So I started to watch my calories and it began to happen again. This made me happy. Now over the past 6 months, I have been on again off again. Then in April, I decided to set a goal for myself. To reach 125 pounds by the end of May.

Well there's still a few more days until the end of the month, but I DID IT!! AS OF TODAY I AM 125 POUNDS! I am a size 6 - 10 depending on the brand of clothing.

So now, it's firming this body up more. My abs are more defined, but can be alot better. I still need work on my tummy and thighs, but it's all coming along rather well.

I never thought I'd see the end of this - but I have. Sure, I'll have to watch what I eat forever, but I REFUSE to ever be fat again.... I have lost 110 pounds!
