Made it to my 10% goal......

My 10% charm!!!!
         
I have to be honest today and say that I honestly was not expecting a 3.6lb loss last night at WI!  I had added some weight training into my exercise routine, and everybody said, "Don't expect a loss this week, because you are gaining more muscle mass and muscle weighs more than fat".  I was a little hesitant at first to start doing weights, but I thought what the hell, muscle helps you burn more fat so in the end weight training will be a benefit to me.  This just goes to show that people don't always know what they are talking about and you have to do things and see things for yourself.  I will continue the weight training 2-3 times a week. 
          After saying all of that, I HAVE FINALLY MADE IT TO MY 10% GOAL!!!!!  I was so happy, and I have a total weight loss of 35.6lbs.  This just gets better for me every week.  I am so happy that I am not letting my mind and insecurities get in the way of this weight loss.  Everyone is so happy for me and that is motivation enough.  Thanks to everyone who is in my corner and cheering for me all the way.....
