Weight Loss Update

Okay, here goes another week's report...

I weighed in this morning at 193.6 lbs, just short of 3 pounds down from last Tuesday! I am happy with that, but I am even happier that I had to buy a couple of new blouses to wear to clinicals last week because all my "professional attire" was too big! WOO-HOO! Anyway, when I started the nursing program, I had to purchase XL pants and 2XL tops. This semester I purchased L pants and XL tops. Last week, I had to buy L shirts. Yes, I realize that to some people that is still WAY too big, but I have not been able to purchase clothes outside the "Plus Size" section in over 10 years! I am excited! My week got even better when my husband noticed my changes and commented (more than once) that I looked nice and that an outfit looked good on me. Please understand, my husband is a wonderful man and has loved and supported me through these times, but I know that deep down, he wants (and definitely deserves) better. To see the light in his eyes and know that he really means the compliments he's giving me makes me want to do even better. I love seeing my husband happy, and I can't wait for these other 80 lbs to go away and see his reaction! I want to be the wife he's dreamed of all his life, and this fat has only served as a hindrance to those dreams being fulfilled. This journey is on its way. Keep watching, and I'll try to get some new pix up soon. Thanks for all your encouragement!

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love;
give preference to one another in honor. —Romans 12:10

Weight Loss Update

Okay, guys. It's Tuesday again. I have way too much to do for it to be 10pm already, but the clock doesn't seem to care. Let me just start this post by thanking those of you who have emailed or commented to encourage me. You have no idea how much I've needed it this past week! Please keep my family and me in your prayers. I will try to post a bit of what it happening one day later in the week, but for now just take us to the Lord in prayer and know that He knows what we need. Again, thank you for your love and friendship!

Now for the update... I lost exactly one pound, so I am at 196.2 lbs now. I got David to help me get my measurements last night. They are still WAY too big, but they are better than they were!

Thanks, Lynn for this today:

I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
--John 17:4 (NIV)

Weight Loss Update

Hey, everybody! Sorry I didn't update last night. I've had a migraine since Saturday and still don't feel well. I am down to 197.2 lbs. It's still not good, but it is at least a little bit in the right direction. Any encouragement will be appreciated!

Weight Loss Update

Okay, I weighed in at the same weight as last Tuesday, 198.6 lbs. I am a bit frustrated but not really surprised. We have had a week to say the least. I am just thankful the numbers weren't higher than last week!

I just want to share a couple of Bible verses that have been speaking to me the last few days:

Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.
~ Proverbs 16:3 (NLT)


Whatever you do, do well.
~Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NLT)

Now I just have to work even harder to lose more for next Tuesday. Any encouragement will be greatly appreciated!

For My Wonderful Husband

This is the song we had played at our wedding in September 1993. I don't ever want my husband to wonder if I love him, admire him, cherish him, or want him.


David, I love you even more today than all those years ago! Sixteen years and three kids later, I still gets chills when you are near me and long for you when you're away! I love you MORE...

Yours Always,
Lindsey
