Before 12/25/01

After 12/25/02

After losing my mom to cancer 9/27/98, see my tribute to her, I went through a depression which included eating. I was up to 163 lbs before I knew it 12/25/01. After seeing the above picture I started watching what I ate. March 12, 2002 a very dear friend of mine convinced me to go with her to a Weight Watchers meeting. By their scale I had dropped to 158.8. I joined not knowing what I was getting myself into. I kept saying "I can't do this". But my encourager Glenda kept telling me "Now Debra, you can do this". She was right and by October 15, 2002 I weighed in at 130.0 lbs, 2 lbs under my goal. I was able to become a lifetime member. By Christmas 2002 the above picture I was weighing in at home at 123 lbs. I LOST 40 lbs!!!!!

UPDATE

10/13/05 down to 130.

11/31/05 down to 123.

And it keeps getting better 12/15/05 I am down to 118, less than I weighed in High School.  

Now just to keep it off.

Since 8/29/05 I have lost 30 lbs.

Keep an eye out for pictures, I will try to have some made.
