I started my "Diet" on Jan. 5th of this year, well actually I like to call it a life transformation.
I have been REALLY GOOD about exercising every morning, I LOVE my weights and Taebo classes and really love that I get up at 5:15 am, no really I do, I feel so much better during the day when it starts early!
It has been hard to cut out my Dr. Pepper in take, I still allow myself to have a can or 2 when I want but I find myself craving water more than anything!
I am happy with what my scale says even though I have 40 more pounds to loose until I get to my "Goal Weight". I hit a really good weight loss number..... I have lost..... 50 pounds, that's right 50 pounds!! I know right I should be SO excited and don't get me wrong I am, but I look back at pictures of me (the BEFORE pictures) and I think to myself, wow I was really heavy, the sad thing is that I still feel that I look like those pictures. Granted I have been able to go 3 sizes down in my pants and I can wear a much smaller top now ( even though it means I might need something a little extra in the chest area!) but I just wish I felt like I looked 50 pounds lighter because 50 pounds is a lot of weight, so this whole LIFE Transformation thing I should probably work on how I feel about myself inside too!
When I have reached my weight loss goal (40 more pounds) I am going to post some Before & After pics, which I am warning you know is a site to see ( the before ones!) I am also going to post my before weight loss weight and my after, which is a BIG deal to me because the only people who I have told that number to is my sister and my sister in law, I have not even told Jeff, maybe because I had a TOTAL Breakdown when I stepped on the scale on Jan. 5th, so hopefully by the end of this year ,2009 ,you will see this post I am talking about!
Until then I will keep working out, drinking LOTS of water and trying to be nicer about myself to myself! I just can't wait to go on a shopping spree for ALL NEW clothes ,which my sister and I are going to be doing once we reach our goal weights, which I should add my sister, Jennifer, is looking AWESOME she is loosing weight too, even though she has always been smaller than me, (BRAT!) so soon we will be hitting the town on a GRAND shopping spree so, WATCH OUT!!!

You look AWESOME Jill you are crazy!!! Seriously 50 pounds is a huge deal!!!!I'm so proud of you!!!Now only if you wore my size shoe you could borrow those too!!!!
Jill, you should be SO proud of yourself, that is a HUGE accomplishment! but you should love yourself no matter what size you are, because you have always been beautiful on the inside and out. I think weight loss really has more to do with how we feel about ourselves and being healthy, otherwise we would all be huge and fat!!! you are such an inspiration to me, i can lose weight but then i always seem to put it back on. i love my dr. pepper and have yet to try to give it up. i am so proud of you. you are an awesome person and i luvya to death!!

Jill, you should know that you LOOK SO DIFFERENT. Dennis came home from church the other day and commented to me that I should go back to taebo so I can have the success that you're having. (I HATE getting up at 5:15!!) I am SO proud of you (and I'm SO jealous, but I just don't have the will power that you do!!) WAY TO GO!!!
I think that you are looking totally hot. I am so proud of you. You are such a beautiful person on the inside and out. I have always kind of looked up to you. You seem to do it all: teach preschool, be an awesome mom, be an awesome sister, be an awesome wife, a wonderful friend that everyone counts on and keep your house totally spotless, you always seem to have it together. So not only do you continue to do all of those things but you also managed to lose 50 pounds. You freakin wonderwomen!!!
