October 30. 
In two months of working out and eating pretty good, I have lost 15 pounds!  SO I am going down, and although I cant really see it myself and neither can hubby for that matter.  My Clothes are LOOSE!

We went to the Mall the other day and I tried on some outfits at Lane Bryant to see what size I was able to wear.  Drum Roll!  I wear an 18-20!   In September I was wearing a 24!
Those are the jeans that have the stretchiness in them so I dont know if that really counts or if I should find some real jeans and try them out too.

Today I got a haircut and color.  Dissapointed in the hair cut but I will live with it.  Since I have curly hair it is very hard to find somebody who knows how to cut curls right, and add onto that the extremely tight budget Im on for now as a college student. 

Now I will share some pics with you!
God Bless!

 The above pic is 1 year ago, my natural hair color and natural curls

 This is the haircut and color I did today. I do have glasses but wanted to see what I look like without for once.

 This is a pic of me 1 year ago, I still have those pants and that shirt and they are WAY Loose on me. I should take a pic!

 This is me currently, october , 2 months into the new way of eating and I have lost 15 pounds. 
Went from size 24 in Sept 1 to size 18 Oct 30.

My Dry Erase board is my best friend! 
I actually have two of them. One jumbo size portable (18 x 18) for doing homework.
my mini portable (10 x 10) for phone messages, and other stuff.
NOW  it has become my daily reminder for why I am doing this weight loss!

Ok I have decided I want to make a personal blogging diary of my weight loss adventure.  I have done blogs before but not the best at keeping up daily routines.  So this wont be an every day type blog, but more like once a week.

About ME.
Im 48 years old.  I am now an Empty Nester officially. My son moved back to Idaho, so now both of my kids live in their own places over there. I am in Lovely Bellingham Washington, going to college to get a degree, and my husband of 22 years is also going to college to get His degree.

We have 4 chihuahuas.  Nuts.  Crazy.  Fun.  Chaotic.  Need I say more? 

I started using Loseit.com one month ago, September 4, 2012.  I have already lost TEN pounds. My starting weight was 259, and I am a short woman of 5 feet and 4 inches.  That means I was wearing a snug size 24.

We bought a gym membership for 3 months, with our student discount, we have access to classes and the pool as well as raquet ball and the workout stations.  And the sauna and jacuzzi!  OY I am in love!

My GOAL is to be 150 pounds again.  I have been overweight for far too many years and I need to do this for myself to become a healthier person and maybe get off the medications I take for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol.

Here are my BEFORE pics.  Not fancy by any means, shows alot of skin but all the proper areas are covered well.
