Slow Success

I guess with baby steps comes slow success! I'm now on my 4th month with sparkpeople.com and I'm down 12 pounds. I haven't been at this weight (won't mention any numbers) since before Jonah (who just turned 11). I'm starting to get into a rut though and my weight loss is stalled, but I'm determined to stick with it.

I joined a "New Years Weight Loss" Challenge group at sparkpeople.com. All of us have have the goal of wanting to get through the holidays and come out with a weight loss! It's great to have other people going through the same thing you are. I have to keep thinking about the benefits I'm seeing... more energy, confidence, and I've gone done 1 pant size (woo-hoo!!). I'll post my "before picture"- which is actually before this particular weight loss challenge starting, at the beginning of September. I've lost 6 pounds since then.
