Taking Back My Health: A Weight Loss Journey

If you recall, this time last year, I started on my Medifast weight loss journey. I plugged away for a good part of the year and managed to lose 35 lbs while on plan. Then I got lazy and fell off plan. I didn’t gain it all back but I did gain back some. Excuse, after excuse, after excuse came up for not jumping back on and here we are a year later and I have about 30 more pounds to lose. So I am getting back up on the horse!

I’m back on Medifast! And some of my biggest supporters are jumping back in the game with me: Kelly, Jenni, and Steph. You really need a good support system when tackling something like losing weight. I know they, especially Kelly, will help keep my ass in gear and on plan. But, more importantly, I have to hold myself accountable and take control of myself.

Not only am I jumping back on board with Medifast, I am also participating in two challenges.

New Year, No Excuses

When I saw Jessica post on Facebook about her New Year, No Excuses challenge, I knew it was perfect for me! It’s an 8 week challenge with a cash prize at the end for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

The second challenge? Well, you’ll have to wait for that one tomorrow because that one requires an entire post itself. Let’s just say you will be floored.

So where are we?
