soon will finish my 16th week



1st taken in January, this one take today. Can you tell any difference?
here i am, on track, exercising, eating right, staying positive! I wanted to try taking these pictures to show my 20 pound weight loss. When I reach 24 pounds lost, I will have lost 10% of my weight! Hooray! I think I get a magnet or something.


I am feeling so healthy moving so much easier. I can't wait to be at my goal weight 135-140 and really understand what it is like to be healthy and not fear furthur health problems dying young.


Oh, and I have started a program with the Berkeley HeartLab and they are monitoring my cholesterol (which wasn't too bad, though my good cholesterol was low and my bad cholesterol was high, AND, worst, my insulin was elevated). The dietician who is following me is holding a weight loss challenge and whoever looses the most weight in a certain period of time will win a prize AND be highlighted in a flier to help motivate other HeartLab patients! I totally want to win. So far, the average weight loss for those participates ws only 4 pounds - I can totally BEAT that!

Go Diana! And I can see a difference in your face - cheeks, especially. You are an inspiration!

And there is nothing like a good old fashioned competition to aid the motivation factor...
