Eight months ago.......

I decided to do something that would change my life.  Fifteen days into March I started my meal plan.  It's been tough, frustrating, fantastic. frustrating, hard, easy, great, frustrating and I would not change my decision for the world.  I have not been able to get on here for over a month and I'm sorry. October was such a busy month for us.  I didn't loose a whole lot on September but that's okay. I've been loosing at least one pound a week the last month. As of today I am down to 161 pounds which means I have lost  64 pounds.  Amazing. 64 pounds in 8 months.  That means I've lost 60 pounds just on my meal plan.  On October 18th I did a weigh and measure, so the totals I am going to give you when I weighed 163 and the total combined(what I've gone down) since March 11th at my first weigh and measure: 

BF%-12.8
BMI-11.6
Inches lost-35.25(the largest being in my hips at 11.5)

Unbelievable.  I weigh less now than I did when Adam and I got married.  Two weeks ago I had to go see a foot dr about some of my toenails looking funny. I did have a blister under one of my toenails and I found out that I will be prone to hammer toes if I'm not careful in my shoe selection.  I found out that not only was I wearing a half a size to small but because my second toes are longer I should be getting about a half a size bigger especially running shoes. I'm waiting to loose my toenail and four of them look a bit ugly but I'm still running.  I did donate blood about two weeks ago and it sort of messed me up.  My Iron has been struggling to stay up. So Sarah gave me red meat back. Ya-hoooooooo!!!!!  Twice a week and 2-3oz.  So I bought some steaks at the store yesterday. hehe!! I can't wait.  So that is a quick update for those of you who thought I may have given up. I think I am stronger than I was.  I still want sweets and ice cream but I know I don't need them.  20 more pounds and I go on maintenance   I will be ready then so when I get my free meals I know I won't over do and I will be strong to stop when I get full.  I will still measure I'm sure. hehe!!  That's another thing.  My meals are habits now and I haven't written them down for a long time.  I know what I eat and I know when so I forget to write it down.  Hope all of you are well, especially everyone on the east coast.
