Lost 22 in 2012, 13 remaining for 2013.

Last year I met one of my best friends and her daughter in Nashville for a long weekend.  They are both over weight but beautiful and photogenic.  I am not photogenic and was more overweight than I thought.  As they shared the pictures they took of me, I was horrified.  I knew I had gained weight but was in denial on how much.  The next month I joined a weight loss sight and signed up for a challenge.  The challenge was to walk 100 miles in one month. I love to walk so it was a challenge that I knew I could accomplish.  Just by counting calories and walking, I lost 22lbs in 5 months.  

I put my weight loss on hold for Nov and Dec.  I decided not to add that extra stress on to the holidays.  My only goal was to not put on weight....which I managed to do.  After tonight, no more excuses.  I will get back into my routine and loose my remaining 13lbs.

I encourage everyone who wants to lose some weight to find a method that is easy for them.  .   I learned from my past that stressing over losing weight is counterproductive.  Keep it simple and you may actually enjoy it.
