Week 23

I lost another 1.8 lbs this week to make it a total of 53.8 lbs in 22 weeks. I also got measured and I've lost another 3.5 inches for a total of 24.5 inches. My counsellor was looking at my file and was really impressed because I haven't gained once in the past 23 weeks. I've stayed the same twice and only lost .2 of a pound one week but other than that it's been a steady loss. Needless to say, she was very encouraged.

Week 22

Well, I finally did it. I made it past the big 5-0. This week at weigh-in I lost another 3.2 to make it a total of 52 lbs lost. For the last couple weeks I've been trying to get over the hump and finally have done it.

Week 20

This week I lost another 2.2 lbs to bring the total to 48 lbs lost in 20 weeks (that's an average of 2.5 lbs per week). I also got measured again and lost another 5.5 inches for a total of 21 inches lost. I should have some more pictures next week.

Week 19

Congratulations go out to our very close family friends, Tillie and Depak Parmar on the birth of their daughter, Natalie Channan Parmar. She was born on Monday night and weighed in at 9 lbs. Very cute with really chubby cheeks.

9 lbs 21.25 inches








This baby has many sets of grandparents in BC and these are one set of them.






As of today, I have lost another 2.4 lbs bringing my total to 45.8. Thank you to all my biggest supporters.

Week 17

I lost another 2.8 lbs this week to make it 44 lbs total.

This isn't the best picture but for now, it will have to do.

Week 16

I've been trying to find an updated picture but I can't seem to find one. I guess I'm going to have to purposely take one just for this.

As of this week, I have lost a total of 40.8 lbs and 15.5 inches. I actually had someone ask me last week if I was losing weight. This was the first person to actually ask without knowing that I was working on it. That felt really good to know that even someone who didn't know to look for it was noticing.

I will post a picture as soon as I can get one. Thank you to all my supporters (cheerleaders).

13 weeks

At today's weigh-in I lost another 2.2 lbs. I also was measured and I have lost a total of 13 inches. We then checked my body fat and it has decreased by 5.5%.

Week 12

It's now been 12 weeks and I have lost a total of 32.4 lbs. I am really starting to notice it in my clothes that are getting baggy and others are starting to notice and mention it. I had a couple rough weeks where I hardly lost anything but we figured out what I was doing wrong and the weight is coming off again.




The baby with me is my cousin Randy's daughter, Shaelyn. They came out to Abbotsford last week for our Grandpa's funeral.

This is my immediate family including my mom and dad, my sister and her family and my grandma (she's 99). It was really hard to know which camera to look at as there were 3 taking the picture at the same time.

Decision Made

I finally made the decision that I needed to do something about my weight. On Saturday, Jun 16, 2007 I went to an Information Session at SureSlim. Basically before I even stepped in the door I had made the decision that this is what I needed to do. Considering the fact that my birthday was 10 days away and they needed approximately 1 week to set up my eating plan, I decided that I would start this lifestyle change on June 27, 2007. The picture with this was taken on my birthday (the day before I started).
