120 Pounds and Counting
Today, my weight loss has reached 120 pounds.This is a HUGE milestone. I have been working to lose these last 10 pounds for about six months. Every time the scale drops, it bounces back up. But as of today, I have lost a total of 120 pounds.
I started at a gargantuan 310 pounds, and today I weigh 190 pounds. Lets put this into perspective, 120 pounds is a slender woman. Everyday I was carrying a woman on my back. How exhausting is that. I look into the mirror and put on my fat clothes. This has become a favorite pastime of mine, and I cannot remember being that fat! But, I know those were my clothes!
I have been working on this weight loss for around 4 years and today, I cannot imagine being that big. But I was indeed that big. My illnesses were the cause of being that fat. My illnesses did not make me gain weight. But, it was through my illnesses, suffering, misery and turmoil that eating became the great comforter. Well, what a shame! But I am coping with my challenges better having the right medications and my life and weight loss is on track.

Hey Rob...that was a great swim the other day in Salem Pond. I'm glad you reminded me to read your blog. I sent it to my friend Dave, CEO and founder of Bounce. He'll dig it and be thankful for the motivational reading you provide. Congrat's on your 120lbs of lossed weight. Currently you're kicking my butt :) I'm stuck around 193-195. But with my leg getting better I can start running more and more. I've been down to 180 about two years ago. I hope to get there again soon. Today I did the SL Century Ride. It was awesome. 106.5 miles in 5:23:00...an average of 19.8 mph. Of course that was with several water/food stops and resting.
Good luck and we'll see you soon!
