This is my journey to become a healthier me. It began on January 26, 2010 and stalled out... I got a type 2 diabetes diagnosis on March 30, 2022 and started to focus on my health again. On November 8, 2022 I added Ozempic to my toolbox to help me shed some pounds and inches!

It's been 20 weeks...

In not much more time, I'll have been following Nutrisystem for half a year. I have lost almost 45lbs, with my 2lb loss this week.



If I was talking to someone else, I'd say how great that is. But to me, I am just impatient to get on with it! I have nearly another 80lbs to go and that seems like so much. I was looking through some of my pictures from a couple of years ago when I was about forty pounds lighter than I am now, and I looked so much better than I do now! I miss those clothes. I miss getting checked out by guys when I go to the casino. I want to be there again- and then blow right past it because I want to lose another 40 pounds on top of that.

My friends keep telling me all in good time... but I am so impatient and ready to get on with this!

My son's birthday is October 2- I am setting a mini goal for myself to get to 70lbs lost by then. I think that is going to be a challenge but I'm going to try.

    Congratulations Susie. And, I know how you feel about wanting to get on with it. I know how I got this way but I keep asking myself how I let myself get this way. I just hit 21 pounds and still have a long way to go to.

    Hang in there! We'll do it!

  3. Anonymous 1:13- I am not sure I really have any good before photos this time. I have some of my previous weight loss attempt in 2005. Most of my photos before I started NS are either of me massively pregnant or holding my little boy, so no real full body pictures.

    I'll see what I can dig up!

    I'm glad to hear I am helping you! Please feel free to comment anytime.

  4. Thanks so much for your blog. I used NS to lose 85# two years ago but stopped before goal. I gained 30# and am now recommitted to losing the weight. Your blog has helped me get excited about the foods and think of new ways to make them. Thanks so much!
