I was going to wait until after my daughter's wedding to join a transformer but this one came along and it gives me just enough time to lose weight before the wedding and then lose any bit I gain at the wedding before I weigh in for the end of round 1. 

I did really well on my last transformer and am looking forward to this one. The last one I did also spanned the holidays and becuase of that the holiday struggles were a bit less because I was paying attention and weighing in faithfully. 

Day by day I am starting to feel more like myself. I am gaining energy, learning how to incorporate the things I love into a healthy diet and also how to navigate social situations without going overboard. I can have a glass of wine, a piece of chocolate or even a bit of my favorite candy and still lose weight. I am working on healthy and it feels great. Also, I'm starting to like the gym again and am already seeing a difference in my heart rate on the cardio machines. I'm lifting more, working harder and feeling better. 

Here's to the next 6 months. To losing weight, gaining energy and feeling healthy and strong!
