Weight Loss Wednesday! Volume 1

I am going to start doing this once a week or so. I think getting healthy is a big part of being happy. My journey in weight loss is far from over, but I am making great progress. I am down 50lbs. I was actually down 70, but put a few back on. The majority of this weight loss happened in a 4 month period. As I continue to shed the extra Chimtot, I want to share the process with anyone who it might help, motivate or encourage. Let me start with a few pictures.

At my heaviest I was about 390 lbs.

I realized that I had a problem.
I needed to lose weight or die young.

I started losing by cutting out my
large consumption of Mountain Dew.

I started the HCG diet.
I was around 350 lbs at this moment.
I had good luck with this diet,
but I am not convinced that it is healthy.

The thinnest I have been in years.
This was about 320 lbs.
Still a long way to go, but better
than I remember.

So as of today's blog I weigh in at 340 lbs. I will check in here weekly until I hit 220. Please join me on this journey. If you don't have weight to lose, I'd love the support and encouragement that you can give me, and I will do the same fr you.
