So I finally did it. I got down to 168! That is 50 lbs., I truly never thought I could do this, but now that I have come this far I am motivated and know that I can do anything. My size 12 pants are all very lose and I am close to getting to 10, I will be so happy and satisfied with size 8, that would get me back to the size I was in high school! I haven't been this size since my first year of marriage! I am using a lot of exclamations! But I am very happy!
I did it, I changed my life, I finally figured it out and even though I have farther to go, I know that I will get there. About 40 more pounds and I reach my goal and get to continue living a happier, healthier life. I am so excited that I am finally one of those kind of people who are in to fitness and exercise. I am going to keep it up forever, it is amazing to feel this way. I have so much energy, I get so much more done during the day and I have a great (though useless at the moment) sex drive (sorry again family). I don't miss regular soda and I haven't had a real pizza (just lean cuisine, kind) since I started this, I used to go to godfather's buffet and eat my whole days worth of calories or more. I didn't need stupid Dr. Phil's plan, or Jenny Craig or any of those, I didn't even need a gym! I just changed the way I eat and live and I am never going back. I hope this inspires others, cause if I can do it, seriously, ANYONE can do it.
My biggest downer on this whole thing is that now cause of my weight loss I have the dreaded useless hanging skin that I can't do anything about, when all is said and done I will go get a consultation for plastic surgery. I will desperately need a tummy tuck, and I don't think it is vain at all, it is necessary and what it would take to make this whole process worth while. I know with clothes on I will look great but I will still have to look in the mirror and feel disappointed. After all this hard work I want to just feel amazing not gross, and the vain side of me would like a boob lift too! OK people, keep up the comments and the support, I couldn't have done it without you!

Oh, Emily, I am so dang proud of you! You have stuck it out and look at the results. :) Keep going, girl. You'll hit that goal before you know it!! We need up to date pictures, lady!
Happy Spring! You should get on my mom. I think you've already motivated me and Ernesto to get some exercise! Exclamations are fun!
Emily,
WOW! I am so proud of you and VERY happy for you. Now that you have made it this far, there is no stopping you. You sound so happy.
I am so excited that you want to do the Mother's Day 5K with me. I am really looking forward to it.
I have been praying for you daily. God is soooo good!!!

Way to go girl--It is amazing the change in you. You should be very proud. I am!! It is great to see the pay off for your hard work. Keep it up.
Love Bob
Congrats Em! I knew you could do it! We should go running again when I'm home for spring break if the weather permits! I found a part time job in Manhattan, so when you reach your final goal we should go shopping and buy a cute top or nice dress (my treat) and have a fun night out! See you in a few weeks! Keep up the hard work.
