My weigh-in continues to record progress on my journey, as I have entered 260sville.  As of 12.15.12, I have lost a total of 63.2 lbs. I now weigh 264.6 lbs.  I’m still on track and feeling good about the upcoming holiday.  I know I have the tools necessary for me to be successful in continuing…

Two weeks ago, for the first time during my participation in the Commit to Fit program, I plateaued and didn’t lose any weight during my weigh-in. Sarah, my nutritionist, advised that this is typical as individuals lose weight and is most likely attributed to the body adjusting to the changes which are happening to it….

During the past month I have thought many times that the time I have left in the program is slipping away too quickly. I am starting the eighth month of the program and am wondering what the future brings. Everyone tells me not to compare myself to past contestants and their progress, but it is…

I finally did it. I broke down and bought a pair of Levis. You may remember I am saving for a pair of Jordache jeans – A friend said he read that particular blog and needed to respond to me to tell me as soon as possible that I was making a mistake in choosing…

The past 3 weeks have been hellish and the most challenging as far as balancing my professional and private life. At times I didn’t know if I would make it through, but I did by taking one day at a time, taking some deep breaths  and am stronger for it. One of the causalities of…
