A Work in Progress

*Originally written on Friday, July 1, 2009*

Just a little update for all my friends: I have now lost 50 of the 60 pounds I want to lose. My cholesterol has dropped 50 points and I feel better than I have in years. Just some stats from the last 10 months:

September 26, 2008
Chest: 44.25 inches
Waist: 40.5 inches
Hips: 47.25 inches
Weight: 213 lbs (August 28, 2008 was 220 lbs)

July 31, 2009
Chest: 41.5 inches (-2.75 inches)
Waist: 34.5 inches (-6 inches)
Hips: 42.5 inches (-4.74 inches)
Weight: 170 lbs (-50 lbs)

At this rate I will lose the last 10 lbs in no time at all.

I met with my doctor last week and she says that I am officially healthy. My allergist calls me her star patient.

In November I will be running my first competitive team race. We will be running 191 miles across Florida. It’s called the Ragnar Relay. I am so totally stoked. A year ago I could not even walk 3 miles and now I can run 5 miles regularly!

I just want to thank all of you for your support over the last 10 months. Without your positive love & support I would not have made it this far.
Thank you!
