Okay everyone, yesterday was the last day of my drops! I am all done for now, but I plan on going again for another round in the next few months. I want to lose about another 50 pounds if possible, but we'll see it how that goes. For now I am just interested in making sure my weight stays off. I've seen a dietician yesterday and they helped me get things in order to keep me on a healthier track. It even includes sugar, which I am really happy about! I love chocolate!
I also got registered for classes at my local CC for winter quarter, too. I'm going to be attending full time there so I can get out of there even sooner. I'm hoping to have a degree within a few years if I can. In the mean time, I have a friend in the nutritional field that has given me some sound advice.
Stay in touch everyone! To all who have contacted me through the blog and sent encouragement, thank you! To those who haven't, it's never too late. Stay in touch and take care for now. Ciao!

I'm so tired and exhausted, but lost a pound! I spent 3 hours over at Tamara's house last evening. They were doing some aerobics/ball class stuff, but then they started doing some strengthening games and yoga. I've never really tried it before, and it was a bit different, but I liked it. I wasn't very good at all, but I didn't mind the stretches and contemplation that it provoked. It was definitely a nice change and something that was quite new to me. I am thinking that I might try to enroll in a yoga class. But first comes an even greater feat that I am really excited about!
I talked to my hubby last night and he thinks it would be a good idea, too. I am going back to school to pursue a degree in nutrition! I want to actually practice as a nutritionist, and I am so excited to be doing that. I'm not in it for the money or career opportunities or anything, I just feel like I could be making a difference after what I have been through. It think that it may be a challenge, since I am going to promote something that I know is met with some skepticism, but I am proof that it works, and I want to help spread that knowledge.

I finally dropped to 215 today! I was being really strict with my diet and exercising a lot, too, though. I also went into Radiant--it was just a quick trip since I needed to get back and go to my daughter's soccer game. I've been getting a number of compliments on how good I look, and they have really helped me pull through the last couple of days. It gets really hard when I am trying to stick to the diet really well. I only have another couple weeks, probably, so I just need to hang on. I am going to probably do the program again in a few months, but I have dropped a hundred pounds so far, and that's pretty good for this girl, trust me! I have been doing DDR every day, and that just about kills me because I find it so strenuous. I'm definitely a city girl, and I don't want to work too hard at something, but I also don't want to gain weight again, so that is of top priority for me, of course. I am heading out to Tamara's house in a little bit actually.
I'm just going to grab "dinner" then be out the door. I'll keep ya'll posted, though. Ciao girls!

Wow! What a day! The carwash went great, but I am so tired! I think I will take a break from writing for the rest of the week because I am completely exhausted and need some R and R. I have a lot of housework to do tomorrow, too. I really don’t feel motivated, and I have been really hungry today and yesterday, but I just have to keep muscling through it. I am at 220 still, but I am not too worried about it. I just assume it is because this is a day I will lose less than a pound, but it will be picked back up tomorrow. Anyway, take care! Ciao!
P.S. Ever notice how my blogging tends to stray away from weight loss to talk about other things? *sigh* Oh well, I’m a busy girl!

The shopping was splendiferous! I got some of the cutest clothes, and all were on sale. I spend about $250, and I was able to get 14 items. That’s a pretty good deal between Nordstrom and Macy’s. I also went to Ross, and got 2 things there for $15! Here’s some of the stuff I got:
• Fleece Blanket (not exactly clothes, but it was $70% off)
• Denim Skirt
• Sandals
• White Blouse
• Jeans
• Gray Dress Pants
• Raglan Sleeve Jacket
• Semantiks Cuff Slacks (Black)
It was definitely a great day at the store! I now have some more nicely fitting clothes for formal events. Hopefully they will fit for a while, because I really like the jacket and slacks! Anyway… We went out to eat afterward, but before anyone gasps, I stuck to my diet to the letter so be proud of me. =)
After we were done shopping, the group of us heading out to Tamara’s house carpooled for our exercise night. We did some more of the games using medicine balls to strengthen the upper body, and that was fun. I am hoping I won’t be sore again tomorrow, because I am helping my daughter out at a car wash, so I need to be able to work a little. I am not too worried about it though, and if nothing else, it will help me lose more weight. Speaking of which, I am now at 220 give or take a pound. That means I have lost pretty much exactly 100 pounds. Actually, I think it is more like 96, but it’s definitely close enough!

Now down to 227, which means I lost 6 pounds in about five days. That’s pretty exciting! I went in for a Radiant visit today, so that’s how I actually know. I will have almost lost 100 pounds in about another week and a half, so it’s no time to slow down now. I am really excited about this coming Tuesday, though. The girls and I are planning a girls’ day out in Seattle to do some shopping. The hubby gave me some money to buy new clothes, so I have to hit up Macy’s and Nordstrom to see what I can get for more formal attire now that I can’t fit into any my old dressy clothes. Pretty spiffy if you ask me. We’ve agreed that once I am at my goal weight, which I am hoping is going to be 140, I will go out again and complete my wardrobe. I have a couple boxes of old clothes from about 6 years ago that I have never gotten rid of, either. They fit me again, so I am thrilled to be going down in weight to where I used to be. I’ll update ya’ll on Tuesday with how it went. I am also heading down to Tamara’s house on Tuesday for our weekly aerobics “class.” I went yesterday, and it looks like it will be on Tuesday for a couple weeks.

It’s been a good day, but a tiring one. I went down to the salon with the girls to see what was going on before heading over to Tamara’s house for aerobics. They were closing in five minutes, and said they were coming, too, so we carpooled over. Tamara had something different going on tonight, though. We did some aerobics first for 10 minutes, but then we used medicine balls in a series of games to help strengthen the upper body. It was actually fun, but different to me. I am definitely a little sore tonight, but between DDR and Tamara, I think I will be able to pull off a little more weight loss. I weighed myself tonight at 233, so a pound a day. Ciao girls!

DDR has me so exhausted, I can hardly write coherently right now. I got home from town and decided to work out with it a bit. Two hours later and I was pretty beat! Hopefully I’ll lose a little more weight as a reward, because I was absolutely starving afterward! I am heading out to town now to pick up my daughter from a friend’s house and go to a game with the Hubby. They’ve both wanted to see it, so I am tagging along, more or less. It will be a nice escape, though. I’ve been so concentrated on my weight the last couple months. Speaking of which, I found out I have lost a total of 5 pounds in the last 6 days. That almost puts me at 236. How far I have come from my 320 pound monstrosity! I can joke about it now because I am almost 100 pounds lighter. =D I can tell it is slowing down, though. I heard that you can take a break and then start again a little bit later to finish losing all the weight you want to. I think I might do this, since I am not sure I can lose more than another 15-20 pounds efficiently on the program. Heck girls, I’ve lost 100 pounds! I am not complaining at all!

I’ve lost 79 pounds so far. I am currently at 241. I want to break the 200 pound limit SO bad! I can’t wait to get there, but this week was a bit slower for me because I was. . .distracted by my birthday. My daughter was absolutely cruel to me and got me a box of Seattle chocolates! I can’t resist those, and I had a couple a day, which I think slowed me down a bit in losing. Goodness though they were heavenly! I am going to buy myself a box of carrots once I have lost the weight I want to, though. Have to keep the weight off. On a more random note, I got skirt today that looks great. I really want to see it on me 4 sizes smaller, though. :) Hopefully that won’t be too far away. I also had to stop into Radiant today for another check-in. Doing well, and the hcg drops haven’t failed me at all. I scheduled a massage for later, too. Some wind down time would be really great after this week. Although my birthday was a great event, it was a bit stressful with friends and family coming over. I did get a lot of comments about losing weight though. All I could really say is “Radiant.”

The aerobics went great on Sunday. The music Tamara brought was like an upbeat sugary pop. It was pretty awesome. A few of us went out afterwards and got our nails done all cute, too. They look pretty girly, actually. I was on a 13-year-old funk, and now I have sparkles and roses on my nails. I think most girls out there know what I am talking about! : ) I think they won’t last long doing the dishes by hand, anyway. The dishwasher broke a couple days ago, so we’re waiting for a repairman to come out and fix it. I weighed myself again today and found out that I lost 5 pounds since my last post, and that was really encouraging to see. I didn’t think that I would lose that much weight, but between DDR and the aerobics class, I must have lost more than I thought. I broke that pound a day mark again. : ) Anyway, short post for today! Sorry about the excessive smileys, too. I am just feeling really good at 245! Ciao girls!

Not quite the more-than-a-pound a day I was hoping for, but I still broke even at 5 pounds over the last five days. I am almost down to 250 even. The scale today says there are a few ounces left, but if I weigh myself again later tonight, I am sure that I will be at 250 even. I feel great, too. And a lot better than my 70lb heavier self a few months ago. The difference is phenomenal, and it’s pretty crazy to see how fast a girl can strip those pounds in so little time. It reminds me of those movies where a person is transformed instantly and notices a change right away. A change that they have to get used to. That is very similar to how it is with me. One week you weigh so many pounds, and the next you are 7 pounds lighter. It’s a crazy wild thing, but I am not complaining and I could definitely get used to it. I would like to write a bit more, but I am heading down to see the girls and then we are heading over to Tamara’s house for some more aerobics exercises. It’s been a lot of fun, and apparently she got some new music, so it’s going to be a blast.

It’s been a better week than last week. I was having a really hard time with wanting to weigh a lot less, but this week I feel encouraged by the fact that I am finally down another 5 pounds. Totaling all that up, I now weigh 256 and have lost 64 pounds according to my Radiant visit today. . . Wow girls, that’s what I call encouraging! Hopefully with a little more time I can finally reach my goal. It is just great to see that I am almost halfway there! I definitely feel blessed to have found such a great program. Here’s hoping that it keeps up!
And for some more technologically focused news, I have been using DDR on a regular basis, actually. I currently use it twice a day or whenever I feel like taking a break from housework and want to feel a little foolish. So far it has worked out great, and I love every second I spend on it—it’s sorta psychological, knowing that every step helps me burn another calorie or two. I’ve lost a little under a pound a day the last few days, but the next time I weigh in I want to have lost more than a pound a day, as much as possible.

I went to my friend’s house for more aerobic stuff. I feel so embarrassed sometimes because I am not fit and slim like the other girls that go there. There are some real exercisers there, and I don’t think there are women there over 130 pounds. They have been so supportive though, and I just have to say a huge thank you to them right now. They aren’t judgmental because I am trying to lose a lot of weight and always lend an ear. Also, an extra special thank you to Tamara for putting this whole thing together. It’s like a support group and weight loss solution that works great with my Radiant program.
I weighed myself every day this week, sometimes twice a day. I just want to slim again so much! I don’t know why this week has been a bit harder and why I feel a little more self-conscience. I lost 6 pounds in the last 6 days, so I am taking a deep breath and knowing that I am almost down to 260 (261 today). It would be great to be down to 250 by the end of next week. Now that would completely satisfy my need to feel good again. I took a picture of myself today and compared it with one I took at the beginning of this weight loss program. I do look a lot better and more attractive. I relish the fact that even my husband has noticed. ;) Making it through the week. . .

Dance Dance Revolution has finally worn me out. I was on it constantly yesterday whenever I had a spare moment. I think it is working because I lost three more pounds between Tuesday and today. Hopefully that will keep up. The only problem is my hunger cravings. I have had to keep an extra close watch on what I eat, because I really get hungry after a workout. Someone mentioned to me at one point that I could help them not be so strong if I ate right after an exercise. Just sayin’, but that seems like it would only make it harder on this girl! I would be hungry again within an hour. For now I am just going to tough it out. That way I don’t have to worry about eating at certain times, etc. I can just eat my regular meals.

I did it. . .I bought a video game. It’s not too odd for a girl to want to buy a game to look better though, right? I ended up getting a setup for DDR. It is actually really addicting. You have the pads that you step on and move to. It keeps me moving fast, and within a couple minutes I was definitely out of breath. To help me lose weight, I am going to try to lengthen the amount of time I spend doing it. It is much more fun than a treadmill, even when you are watching TV. We’ll see how it works, but I have a pretty good feeling about it.
This was also my radiant day. I know it is really bad, but I had to treat myself today. I ended up getting a fruit smoothie, though. No ice cream or chocolate, although it is killing me right now. I got the smallest size and made sure it had the most fruit in it out of all the smoothies. Hopefully that won’t mess me up too much. Acceptable losses, right?
And girls, I’ll have you know that since the last time I weighed in, which was 4 or 5 days ago, I have lost five pounds! Finally back up to where I should. It is nice to see the scale dropping each day as I continue to lose weight. These last few days have been really strict on the diet, though. With any luck we’ll be looking at 265 by Sunday, which shouldn’t be too hard since I am now at 270.

I scheduled in another appointment to Radiant today. I also lost 3 pounds, but am having bad food cravings. I am starting to think about hunger suppressants again, just because I am so hungry. The one thing that really keeps me going is knowing that even when I used Jenny Craig, I never lost more than a few pounds per week. At now I am losing twice that much.
I went and talked to my friend that does the aerobic sessions with exercise balls. Her daughter actually has a DDR setup in her room, which she plays quite a bit. She runs track and does cross country, so it apparently really works for her! I am thinking about getting one, but knowing me I will leave it to collect dust or abandon it for the latest Scrubs episode (what an addiction!). Anyway, I’ll leave it at that. Only a short post for today!

I have eaten almost exactly what the protocol says you should eat for the last six days. I have lost another 4 pounds, so I am at least starting to lose faster again (now at 278). I will keep up with this strict diet and start going to the aerobic exercise sessions my friend puts on. It’s fun to sit on the rubber exercise balls and call it a workout, anyway. I am hoping that over the course of the next week or so, I can be back up to a pound a day, which I have only hit a few times over the course of the diet. I should really be ashamed of myself, because I truly have not followed the diet as strict as the diet calls for, and that is a huge “no-no.”
Another thing that I am looking at getting into more is active aerobic exercises, particularly those with steps. The gym is great, but it isn’t a whole lot of fun. I like to move and dance, so I am wondering if something along those lines would satisfy my easily bored mind? Any suggestions out there from you girls? I have looked into hip hop dancing and aerobics, but don’t want to really look like a fool in front of a lot of people. How do games like DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) and other foot games compare to aerobic exercises? Ciao!

Went to Radiant again today. It was a good trip in and very relaxing. I was feeling like primping pretty bad today (you know what I mean, girls!), and ended up going to Radiant for more than just my standard appointment for weight loss. I ended up buying some new clothes on the way back, too. I got a cute summer dress and blouse at Ross for $30. Both look great and are sizes I haven’t fit into for years, so it was exciting to see that.
After my appointment and small shopping spree, I went over to the salon with the girls and chatted for a few minutes and showed them the clothes I purchased. I know that is horribly stereotypical of me—hanging out with the girls at the salon and showing them my purchases—but I needed a break from the house, and that really helped.
And now for the confessions. . . I have lost, over the course of the last 3 days, just over a pound and sitting at 282 lbs. I am slightly discouraged at this, but I also know that I have not been following the diet like I should be. I am making a pact right now to follow the diet as strictly as is advised. Wish me luck, I want to start losing fast again!

Wow, my blogs have been really sporadic! Well, here’s the update on my last week and day or so. I weighed myself on Monday, and I weighed 283, so a pound a day was my weight loss. I weighed myself today, and I weighed 281, so half a pound a day. That’s. . .kind of sad. But I’ve broken the 40 pound mark. I’ve lost 40 pounds in a little less than two months! I’m at 280, and the last time I was anywhere close to that was 3 years ago. I’ve been in the 300 to 320 pound range for the past 3 years, and I’ve finally brought it back down to a more realistic weight. I’m 100 pounds away from where I want to be, and although I am not going to stay on the diet long enough to go that far, I will come back to it after a while of recuperation and try to get even closer. Every little bit counts as far as I am concerned.
One thing that I am also SO thankful for is the ability for me to not have to undergo weight loss surgery. What gal out there wants an ugly scar? I’m no exception! But in all reality, it’s way too expensive, too. This has literally saved my life in more ways than one, and I can look better, feel better, and tuck a few extra dollars away that I would have spent on a weight loss surgery. Although I wasn’t sure how this HCG would really work at first, I now have complete faith in it and in Radiant MedSpa. But anyway, just glad to be thinner and have saved the money! Talk to you all later ladies and gents. . .

I woke up this morning, and to my surprise, I had lost 3 pounds. That’s over 1 per day! I thought to myself “that’s the first time that’s happened.” And it has been, actually! I’m not complaining, though. I took my drops with renewed vigor and savored them in my mouth. . . Ok, not really, but I had a new, almost rejuvenated appreciation for this diet. Oh, to be thin again!
I am also looking at enrolling in a fitness class down at a gym nearby. They offer some classes on other exercises, as well as meditative exercises. I think these might be interesting to take, and will help me be more well-rounded and broad in my interests. It can’t hurt to expand one’s horizons, right? Then again, that’s probably what the Roanoke Colony thought before they disappeared off the face of the earth. I won’t mind if the fat keeps disappearing, though. That’s a good thing.
Does anyone know of any ideas for other exercises that I can do that aren’t too hard? I’m not a runner by any means at this point, and I am not sure I really want to try it. I would much rather have less active exercises that are still kind of exerting. I’ve thought about carrying weights and just walking on the treadmill, but I don’t savor the idea of walking around and going nowhere. It’s pretty hot to go outside and do that sort of thing, too. Anyway, ideas? Ciao!

It’s been a while since I posted! I went down to Radiant MedSpa today. I am finally over this cold, so I felt well enough to head on down there. I’ve found out that there are others out there who have been losing much faster than I have been. I was surprised to find out that there are some who can lose even more weight -- closer to 30 pounds in about 30 days. I’m at 30 pounds over the course of a month and a half or so. Still, that’s not bad, and I am excited to see a thinner me starting to appear underneath all my flub. We all have to deal with that, right girls?
I went grocery shopping today, too. I bought almost nothing but health foods and natural foods. It’s probably getting to my hubby, but it’s hard enough for me to get food at the store without getting him his “snack” food. So he’ll have to live.
In the meantime, I am still on this 500 calorie diet. It’s not so bad, but I have had some really bad hunger cravings in the last couple weeks. They come and go, but don’t last too long. For now I will be patient and watch as the pounds continue to “roll” off.

It’s been five more days, but I only lost 1 more pound. I got sick with a cold and missed a day or two with the treatment. Slept all day in bed instead! Between that and an eating craving that I had as I was getting better, I think it messed me up a bit. So total, I’m at 295 pounds, and have lost 25 pounds in just over a month. I decided I want to track my progress each time I post a blog, so I started an account on Daily Burn. It’s free, and it works really nice. I set a goal (180 for now) and can watch as I get closer to it. It’s a good motivator (although Radiant’s program is so easy, I don’t know what for!) and hopefully will help me see how much I am losing per month. I also mentioned talking to a dietician to help plan my meals and diet better. I finally started looking today to see if there were any good ones out there. I might call one of them sometime this next week. I am not sure I want someone hunting through my life when I am already losing weight so easily! On a side note, if any of you guys or gals out there have an idea for widgets that I can add to my page, I would love it! Maybe some tips or something to help me out on my weight loss expedition. Ciao girls!

Total weight lost: 24 pounds. Current weight: 296 pounds. That’s so much better than what I was at. Now that I have broken the 300 mark I am starting to look at new clothes. Great excuse to throw some cute shoes in the cart, too, right? ;) I am heading down to Ross in a little bit to do that. I had another meeting with Radiant today, too. That was nice to go to. As usual, they were friendly and checked up on how my weight loss program was doing. I told them that in the 8 years I have been trying to lose weight, this has been the most effective and hassle-free program yet!
I headed out again to hang with the girls and do some more aerobic exercises. My friend down at the Salon actually went to Radiant’s website and checked out their products and program, too. It’s really exciting to see such a change in my weight and realize that other people can do the exact same thing. I’ve also had a lot of friends visiting my blog lately and emailing me about my success so far. Yes, I am extremely happy about how the program has been going! See you all soon!

It’s Independence Day! And what a way to celebrate American independence with a little bit of my own! I’m down to 300 pounds. That’s 20 pounds gone in about a month. I am hoping that it will pick up a little faster later on, too. It would be nice to see myself in a two piece again before October rolls around. I’m not completely sure that I am actually ready for that, but who knows. My girlfriends have been really supportive of my so far, and it’s been great to have people backing me up. One of my friends already called Radiant to see what it is about. I may have made a convert!
Speaking of which, I didn’t end up going this week at all. It’s been way too busy to really do anything, so I figure I will go in next week instead. I don’t think that will be a problem. When I called to cancel, the receptionist was really nice, too. Gotta love those people – They’re so friendly! That’s one thing that was another big selling point for me after I went there. The people are nice and courteous. I like to be treated like a real human, not a lab experiment, so this was good.

I cooked up a complete vegetable dish for the first time in about a year. I’ve always had a meat or a cheese dish for dinner, usually. I am trying to stay close to the list of allowed foods, because not doing that can create bad results. This was a big change, but it was good. I also met the girls down at one of their homes for some aerobic exercises using rubber balls. She’s apparently really into it. I didn’t mind trying it out at all, though, considering that I got some girl time and we were able to do a light exercise while chatting, too.
I also took my weight again this morning. 15 pounds are gone so far. I don’t know exactly why the amount of weight lost went down a bit, but the body is a weird thing sometimes, I suppose. I have an appointment in a couple days for a follow up, so it will be nice to see the full progress I made and head into Radiant again.
Another thing that I have been really considering is going to see a nutritionist or dietician. That way I could learn to better take care of myself and my body and maintain a good weight once I have lost all of these pesky extra pounds. I am not completely sure I will, but it couldn’t hurt, right?

I’m at 13 pounds less than what I started at, which is really nice. I talked to some of my girlfriends yesterday, and we’re going to start doing some workouts together. It will be a good group motivational force. It will give us time to socialize, too. I wouldn’t mind more of that with my busy schedule and life. More on how that goes later.
In the meantime, I was looking into the Radiant MedSpa a bit more and I found that they are actually medically owned. Basically, they have a real doctor practicing there. That’s a huge comfort to me, because although the HCG is definitely working, I wanted to make sure that someone, somewhere in the spa knew what they were doing. Now I have my answer. It’s good that they don’t use the foreign suppliers, either. Most foreign suppliers are probably selling flower with some kind of drug inside. Anywho, more later gals!

Just got back from my follow up appointment. It was a breeze! I’m ten days into this, and I am minus 8 pounds. That’s darn good if you ask me! I told one of the girls down at the Salon, and she can’t believe it. I think she may even try it out if it continues to work how it has been. For now, I am already looking at the swim suits for this next summer. If I stick with this program and am diligent, I may even find myself feeling a lot better about swimming this fall. That’s been one of the biggest struggles for me, having to deal with my body out in public. I avoid pretty much all swimming except for with some family because of it.
Another thing that just keeps getting me with this program is how easy it is. I put the drops of the HCG product under my tongue and that’s pretty much it. I have to keep telling myself that this isn’t a starvation diet and it doesn’t involve surgery, and it almost makes me feel guilty that I don’t have to really do anything. I am not a big outdoors person, so I don’t plan on exercising a whole lot, but I have decided to cook healthfully now. No more oily or fatty foods or excessive meat products. With any luck, I’ll see some great results. This blogging will also help me out because I can stay accountable as I update you all. If anyone has any other suggestions on getting slimmer faster, let me know!

Hey there. . . Okay, so I am actually a little excited. I figured that if I paid for the product I should at least use it. It’s been 6 days, and I lost 4 ½ pounds! That fast! I have never even come close to that previously. I really think that this could be the diet that has avoided and eluded me for years! We’ll see how it goes, but I am pretty sure that I am going to do fine on this diet. I am setting my goal weight at 180. That’s 140 pounds less than what I weigh now. I am sure I can do it, I just need to stick with this.
It’s funny, because I didn’t even notice a change until yesterday when I went to weigh myself and saw that I was missing three pounds. I thought that maybe this is just the typical weight change that many women go through. But today I have another pound gone, and I think only one place to thank for that. I’ll keep everyone updated on how the treatment goes. It’s super easy – just drops under the tongue and you’re good to go.
But yes, I am really getting excited about the possibility of being thinner! It’s been way too long of a struggle with obesity. But hey, tides change, and so can I. I will be making an appointment soon for another follow up visit and will post another blog right afterward. Until then!

I got up at 7 this morning to get out to Radiant MedSpa. This girl may want to lose weight, but it was just way too early to be thinking about dieting. I was just a bit skeptical about the diet, too. HCG is something I’ve looked into before, and I only chose Radiant because I heard that they used a really good quality HCG. I was excited my first post because I didn’t know they used HCG. A friend had only referred me to them.
Anywho, I got to their place and was pretty impressed with it. It’s decorated nice and has a warm atmosphere. I hate going to places that are not neat or look like an office building. This place was far from it. They took my weight (my worst nightmare!!!) and talked with me about their products. I purchased their HCG drops, which are supposedly new. We’ll see how the treatments go. I’m not crossing my fingers, but I’m willing to try anything, and I would be doing my friend a disservice if I didn’t at least have a quick go at it, right? Anyway, bye girls!

It's Time to Lose Weight. . .
My name is Rebecca Simmons, and I've decided to start a blog on my process through weight loss. I've struggle with weight all my life, and it's really something I need to work on. I used to weigh 140 in college, but I've gained more than the "freshman 15" now that I am 37! Office jobs and a lazy personality, I guess. But who says I can't change? Seeing my girlfriends who are slim and sexy makes me feel left behind when I weigh a whopping 320 pounds. It's time to work on my weight and see if I can't bring it down at least a little bit. I've tried Atkins, but the diet is so hard to stick to when you can't eat many sweets and pretty much only higher protein foods. I've also tried Jenny Craig, but going in each time only to see little or no results was too disappointing. Now I am going to try this new place, called Radiant MedSpa and Weight Loss. It's supposed to be a life changing weight loss solution, but I can only hope to get faster results.
I called them today, and they were super nice. I was really impressed with their service and the helpfulness of the person I talked to. I am anticipating a rewarding experience from it, and it look like it is going to go very well. I will keep you all updated on how it goes and what the results our. With any luck I'll see some result and FINALLY reach get the body I've wanted back for a long time. I'll place the link to the place I am going at the bottom of each post. Ciao!
