A BIG Goal Has Been Reached!!

Wow! I am so excited today! I weighed and have reached my goal of 60 pounds GONE this morning! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how I have been helped so much with http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com.
I don't believe I could've lost the weight any other way except maybe surgery!
Last night we went to a banquet and I passed on the bread, baked potato, green beans AND this HUGE chunk of beautiful German Chocolate Cake! I ate salad and part of a small steak and was so glad this morning when I weighed that I had made that decision!

Started August 24, 2011
Pounds lost - 60
Inches lost - 33.50

Stayed the Same.................

Picture taken at Christmas

That's okay though! It's better than gaining!

I am drinking lots and lots of water and mentally preparing for a banquet dinner tonight.

I am NOT going to eat dessert, lol!!! I am 1/10th of a pound from being in the 180's!! Gotta get there and keep going down.

I love all the support I get from http://affordablehcgdiet.com/ Check it out, you won't regret it!

This is me when I first began my weight loss journey. The blouse was a 3X and my pants were a size 20! I have never been this large, even when I was pregnant with my son who weighed 12 lbs., 6 ozs. and was 24" when he was born!

I started my low calorie diet with http://affordablehcgdiet.com/ at an all-time high weight of 248 pounds on my 5'7" body. I was on an insulin pump for my type 2 diabetes. I had out-of-control high blood pressure, sleep apnea and no energy.

I was at the lowest point in my self esteem from what I was doing to myself through my carb addiction. I didn't think I could lose the weight, EVER! I had donated all of my thinner clothes.

Thanks to my new friend Martha B., I was told about this diet that has been the best diet thing that has ever happened to me!

This picture was taken two months later in October 2011. I had lost 37.2 pounds and 21.5 inches. I sent the before and after pictures to my family, along with my weight and inch loss. My grandson, Dagan, sent me the following email, copied exactly as he wrote it:

"Mimi I saw your pic but Mimi your pic and mimi you look fine how you are no matter what you are still be my sweet Mimi no matter if you lose weight I will always love you as long as you live even when you die you will still be my sweet Mimi"

Dagan loves me no matter how big I got, but I didn't love me. He told his mom he liked me in the red also! Isn't that the sweetest thing?! I am now on my "weigh" to loving myself!

When We Started

These pictures were actually taken on July 4, 2011. We didn't look any different when we started the diet on August24, 2011. I had been told about this diet the week after this picture was taken. It took me that long to research and think about it. Honestly, I didn't think I could do it.

You see, I had been diagnosed with diabetes May 9, 2007. I was insulin resistant and after trying oral medication unsuccessfully, I was put on insulin. My weight immediately begun to rise and I gained 40 pounds rather quickly.

After loosing 58 pounds, I am off my insulin pump and on oral medication. That is only one of the great things that has happened! I no longer take daily reflux medication! My blood pressure is under control and so is my husband's. He doesn't take his reflux medicine any longer.

We feel great and encourage anyone to research http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ or look at the facebook page, Affordable HCG Diet! You will not regret it!

Till next time!
