Today I weighed in at 182.6. I have lost 62.4 pounds, I am almost halfway there, and I am seeing numbers on the scale that are the lowest I have seen in my adult life. This is awesome! Very very soon I will weigh less than my hubby. That's a very significant goal for me. I also have only 3.4 more BMI points before I will no longer be considered obese. I can't wait to be overweight. I know that sounds strange, but if you've ever been obese or morbidly obese (as I was when I started out) then you understand.
For me, successful weight loss always seemed impossible. Now I am sitting here looking at what I have accomplished so far and realizing that I am doing the impossible. There's a song in my workout playlist - You're Unstoppable by Paul Hoffman. It has a line in it "unstoppable begins with you". I liked the song from the moment I heard it, but I have never felt it as strongly as I do right now. I am unstoppable. I'm unstoppable because I decided to be. As the song tells me it is time to do I changed my thinking and found my mission. I decided I was not the me I wanted to be so I decided to do something about it. It's not impossible, there's not some amazing secret to it, it's just a lot of hard work.

About Me
- Roxy
- Jacksonville, Arkansas, United States
- I'm a 33 year old chick who is currently on a mission to become half the woman I was (less than half, technically). My starting weight in Feb. 2009 was 245 and at 5'2" that is not a good thing, so here I am, fixing it. I have a wonderful husband and would like to have some wonderful babies, but first I must be healthy. I want to be around to get my kids to adulthood and I want to be a good role model for them.
