Weight Loss Update!!


Weight Loss Update!

Although the pic shown above is NOT my waistline...
I'm happy to say that I am now down to 211 lbs!
When I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance and PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) in May of 2009... I weighed close to 260 :( 
I was very fat and miserable; wasn't getting periods on my own for a year!
Since I have gotten my insulin levels maintained, am eating better (not the best I could though), am getting regular periods each month, and mentally/physically feel better now.
In the past 2 weeks I've dropped almost 8 lbs!

My goal was to get under 200. 
I HATE that number!
To me its embarassing:(
The lowest I have been was around 195 when my oldest son was 2... that was 7 years ago!!

I'm really trying hard to go down a pant size!
I've gone down 2 shirts sizes throughout my weight loss journey but haven't been able to lower a pant size:(
Its cause of my darn belly!
I think after another 5-10 lbs I may be able to do so!!
I probably will never be skinny again... THINNER would be nice and MUCH healthier would be even better!

Hugs,
Noelle ♥

Congrats to you on your weight loss.
I need to shed a few pounds too and I know if I did I'd feel a lot better.
My problem is the belly too.
