It all began at 302...

It's been way too long since I have blogged even though there have been hundreds of times I have thought - I need to put this into my blog. Since I last blogged, (well, actually since April 2011) I have been on a journey of weight loss and rediscovery. In March of 2011, I realized I was at a weight I was not at all happy about and I was miserable too. So I began the search for the one diet/program I could really lose weight with. I found it in Medi-Weight Loss Clinics! They are a Florida based company and the plan is a 3 part program. It starts in the Acute phase(WEIGHT LOSS PART), then maintenance and then wellness. I had never done anything like it before so I was hesitant but let me tell you it REALLY WORKS!! At my first weigh-in, I stepped on the scale and saw my weight total of 302 pounds - WHAT?!? I was morbidly obese, miserable, not enough energy to make it through the day w/o a nap and hating myself on the inside with a passion. This was enough for me to WAKE UP and start something. I followed the plan and the weight began coming off. I lost a little over 100 pounds in the span of 10 months. Here is the first day of the program picture:

Here I am after losing 100 pounds:

Needless to say, I am still journeying through this and I am learning more about myself each step of the way. I took off the last 6 months because I was burned out on the plan and I needed to break away from the restrictions. I have put on some o fhte weight but I am starting back on the plan on Monday and I'll be seeing a whole lot less of myself soon. I can do all thingd through Christ who gives me strength!
