WOO HOOO, I lost another 1.4 this week. I want to be coninually losing and getting leaner, stronger and healthier.

I am on facebook, for anyone who does not know that... and I now have many friends who are currently or were on Biggest Loser. I am so amazed and honored that I have received many responses from them individually and personally. It is nice to see them as real people with real struggles. I enjoy cheering them on and watching as their lives change too.

Here is the post I made on www.sparkpeople.com which really shares my frame of mind right now.

Well, I know my body is trying to plateu. I began this journey at 396 lbs. I am as of today 264 SO That is what an awesome 132 lbs GONE!!! Well, I have been playing from 269-265 for the last couple of months. So last week I decided I WANT TO WIN. So though my body wants to plateau, I want to lose!

On Biggest Loser last night Bob reminded his team that they need more protien when they are working out as hard as they are. I had already decided I wanted to step up my workouts and SEE losses again. I also then updated my fitness page on Spark and my calories and balance changed to match it. I have added more protien because it is the fuel to repair all the hard work I put in and gives me the strength to carry on!

This week I lost 1.4 and I would have liked more, but I will keep going one day, one step, one meal, and one workout at a time. Each choice we make shows in our lives. Taking it one little task at a time makes it do-able.

We have GOT to "Eat to LIVE not Live to Eat!" (TOPS) We also need our support systems. I have incredible support at TOPS, with my Spark Team, and my Facebook friends.

"Don't give up and Don't give in, when you think you're finished that's when you begin. When you walk one mile, go one step more..." (Tops # WA 804, closing pledge.) JUST DO IT.... we have to fight harder and see our weigh as the adversary that we are kicking to the curb.

I WILL WIN, I have to... I never want to go back to where I was 1 1/2 yrs ago! Tina
