55 Pounds Gone!

I've lost 55 pounds since April! I've been walking at least 5 - 6 days a week. I've cut out sugar, sodas, sweet tea, candy, chocolate, milk, eggs, cheese (mostly), and a lot of meats. I've been doing smoothies and oatmeal.  I've went down from a 42 waist  to a 36. I am off of my blood pressure medicine, too! I started drinking green smoothies last week after listening to Dr. Brooke Goldner on the Plant Fit Summit.

Welcome! - Two-fold Purpose of This Blog

One  purpose of this blog is to track my progress as I seek to get to weigh 213 by Oct. 13, 2016, which is my next doctor's appointment. I weighed 253 on April 11. The doctor told me that I was borderline diabetic. I like sweet tea and chocolate. Over the last 2 months, I have consumed very little of those two things. I have starfed working out with my son and walking in the mornings before I go to work. I am also eating healthier. I eat boiled eggs, salads, and yogurt. I am drinking more water, too.  On June 27, I weighed 237. Yesterday, I weighed 233. 20 more lbs. to go! Another purpose of this blog is to encourage others in their weight loss journey. Feel free to leave comments in any of the post here. Follow along as I strive to reach my goal!
