Me at my heaviest weight.
1 month later (April 15, 2010), 18.2 lbs. lighter
2 months later (May 15, 2010), 32 lbs. lighter. :)*
So, here I am my fellow bloggers, 2 months into this thing. I feel fantastic.
*
I've lost a total of 6 in. in my hips, 8 in. in my waist and 2.8 in. in my bust since I began this in March.
*
Still soda, junk food, fried food free.
*
My husband has lost a total of 15.2 lbs since he began 2 - 3 weeks after me. :)
*
I was going to treat myself to something when I reached my 30 lb. loss (biscuits & gravy from Cracker Barrel), but Robert and I decided that when he reaches his 20 lb. loss, we are going to go enjoy a yummy hamburger and fries from Fuddruckers. :) So, I can wait it out till he reaches his next 5 pounds.

Have a blessed Sabbath day!

Wow Dawn! I hadn't even realized that you were blogging again and I come to find a whole new you!
You are looking fantastic and I KNOW you feel better. I joined SparkPeople back in February and although I didn't join initially to lose weight or anything, I'm now hoping that I will. It has had a positive impact on my life though-even without the big weight loss you've been having.
I think the soda issue is the absolute hardest for me---I will do very well for a while and then will slip back and start drinking 1,2,3...or more glasses a day. I always feel awful when I do, but I still do it!! :-/
You are looking more your age now---something I can relate to because of my weight people have always thought I was 10 years older than I really am.
Maybe you and Robert should treat yourselves to a new pair of walking shoes instead of a burger...:-)
I'll be checking back more regularly now that I know you are back and I can't wait to see updates of both of you! Congratulations!

Very nice Dawn!! Good work!
That is wonderful. I have a lot of weight I want to loose too
How inspiring, Dawn!!!!!!!!!!!! You make me want to get back out there and get exercising! But I have a nasty cold + fever so I have to rest instead. Arrg lol
I'll have to post a new pic of me... I am starting to have a figure again! It's shocking!
Dawn, you are both doing wonderfully with this! Congratulations! Amazing what soda and fried foods will do to us, isn't it? I'm sure you've made a lot of changes and adjustments overall, but just dropping the soda and fried foods really kicks some fatty behind, doesn't it?
Not that my little thought makes a huge difference, but sister I'm over the moon proud of you!! Way to go girl!

As I have said before! Wonderful and I am proud of you both.
Dawn, you look fantastic! Congratulations, all your hard work is certainly paying off. You are certainly an example to me and I am trying to follow your diet menu. Congratulations to Robert also. It may not be a good idea to reward yourselves with food.
You know, Robert and I were talking about not celebrating our victory with food. He was reminded how easy it is to gain the weight but it's a pain in the rear end to lose, so, we won't be rewarding ourselves with Fuddruckers after all.
I'm okay with that. :)
Our anniversary is in June and we plan on going to this fancy schmancy place to eat so we'll go ahead and just wait it out.
Thank you all for the encouragement! :)
Awe, You are a great inspiration.
Wow good job!! That's a lot of weight to lose in a short amount of time. Of course it's not how much you weigh but how healthy you are and how you feel that really counts! I haven't seen your blog in so long. Glad to see you doing well!
You go girl! LOL
You have me motivated to lose my baby weight. The soda thing will be the killer though. I love my Coke (and sweet tea too).
WONDERFUL! You are doing great, I can't seem to stick to anything here lately :o( I really need to though :o(
Keep it up, you are an inspiration! ♥
