It's a part of my life

I'm sure that you my readers might be getting tired of or even bored of reading my updates on my latest success at weight loss. This is a huge part of my life right now and will be until I am where I would like to be as far as the scale is concerned. I started working on the weight loss process back in 2006 as was probably mentioned in another post, and I kind of lost track of it for a while. I am now back at it as I have the support of my roommates as they are also trying to tackle their weight. Though the wife of the two didn't need to lose much she was right along with us for the support aspect and to get back into shape for herself also.

As a household we have lost about 75 pounds since the beginning of May. I just went past the 25 pound mark this week, but that is just since May which I know is really good. However there is more, as of this morning I reached a grand total of 60 pounds! This is a huge accomplishment in my books. Last year my family celebrated with one of my aunts for losing 100 pounds! My 60 pounds sounds like peanuts in comparison, but I'm determined to get pretty close to that. I have mentioned before that once I hit my first "goal weight" that I'm going to get my hair cut and get a couple of outfits (these will be used as I'm hoping to shrink out of them rather quickly to be spending a lot of money on them). Once I hit that amount, (which by the way I am only about 8 pounds from) I plan to start the couch potato to 5K again. I tried to do this in my third year of college, but my Plantar Fasciitis flared up, so I'm hoping that with such a great loss in weight that it will not be an issue this time around.

As I was out for a walk today I got totally excited as I realized how great I feel. I am the lowest weight I have been since I can remember other than my lowest in High school. So as of right now when you talk with me I might share what is going on in my life which will include this as it is part of my life. Just as you would talk about that relationship or your children. Since I don't have either of those things right now the next best/biggest thing going on in my life is this.
