I was at the gym today and sitting down to change my shoes.
There was a guy next to me resting and he says to me,
"So you starting your new year resolutions too?"
I told him,
" I started my new year resolutions in November (dramatic pause) of 2008."
He looked puzzled and then smiled.
I then took the opportunity to share with him that this past week I lost 3.4 pounds
and have lost 75 total.
I had Weight Watchers yesterday and hit my goal of 75 pounds lost. I'm so excited. I cried like a baby I was so happy. This is a HUGE milestone and I am thrilled that I made it. Next up 100 lost. I should reach this goal on or before March 27th. Thanks EVERYONE for your constant encouragement and love during my journey. I say it all the time, but I could not do this without you.
I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

Congrats!!! I'm so proud, and I can't wait to see you next week! Next stop, gold barbell for the 10% Key Ring! :D
That is incredibly impressive - 75lbs is great. Accomplishing an IronMan will be nothing compared to what you have done so far and continue to do.
Stumbled on your blog and I am extremely impressed. Keep up the fantastic work and I will see you in Wisconsin in 2012!!! Because of your blog, I started my own. Not as descriptive, and with a lot more grammatical errors!!!
I’m sure we are in the same mindset that it will be nice when the crods thin out at the health club in a few weeks!
