Default Come celebrate with me!!

Soooooo,


I've lost 20 lbs! woot!! I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal!!

Earlier this year I went into sort of a depression and gained about 25 lbs, and add that to being already 25lbs+ overweight, needless to say I got F.A.T.

I posted pics on my sparkpage if you want to check out the difference, I'm still bigger than I want to be (of course) but you can really see a difference in my butt/legs/boobs (of course) especially!!

http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=TRACIREED

And if you're a member of sparkpeople, add me!! I need friends!

Congrats Traci!!! You look awesome!!! I so desperately need to do something. This baby weight is not going anywhere.

How do you like Spark People? Has it helped a lot? I have heard about it, but never gone and checked it out.

hmm, I don't use it for anything but tracking food and ribbing Karah to get her butt in shape, but it's great for that!

Wow, your legs do look awesome! Isn't it amazing the difference 20 lbs can make? I lost 15, and I felt amazing. Of course, I've gained it all back and more with the baby, but that's only temporary. WTG, girl!

Congrats Traci! You look Fabulous!!!!

They say that the best way to stay on track and lose weight is to write everything you eat down in a journal - before you put it in your mouth. It makes you take a second look at what you're eating.
I've been on and off WW for a while and I am going back on again. I don't ever want to see 140 again and I know that I need to work at it to keep it off!!!

So Traci, what exactly is "eating clean"? No processed foods, no fast food, etc?

That's awesome, Traci! It's not easy doing a nutritional make-over. I've been working on it. But, I'm a snacker.

Way to go Traci!! That's fantastic!!

Sparkpeople is great for tracking your food intake. That's about all I use it for when I'm actually making a solid effort at weight loss, lol.

Woohoo!! Doesn't it feel great?? I can't wait until I get the okay to start exercising again after this c-section, everything is still all swollen and gross, it's making me insane.

I am the most impatient girl in the world sometimes. I"m glad you gave me this inspiration!
