Get a JUMPSTART on the New Year…
Get a Jumpstart on the New Year and be a biggest loser! I AM!
I think some of you might recall that in my “Tag, I’m it!” post from October, I announced one of the four things on my to-do list was to lose 40 pounds…

…I finally made the commitment to lose those 40 pounds! Today, I am only 16 pounds away from this first goal and have already lost 25 pounds! This time, I might even lose more!!
WHAT GOT ME STARTED?
______________________
Shortly after my October weight-loss goal announcement, I met with a close friend I see on a regular basis. To my amazement, during the three weeks since I had last seen her, she lost 17 pounds! Huh? I know, I know, I was on the same page…it sounded too good to be true! I asked her a lot of questions about her diet and the program. In the back of my mind, as she was telling me all of the details, I was thinking, it must just be her luck.
Then, I saw the same friend two weeks later, and this time, her total weight loss was already 25 pounds! So, I thought to myself, this can’t just be luck, there has got to be something to this program. Hmmmmm… At that point, all I could think about was how happy I would be if I could lose that same amount of weight in only 5 weeks. She seriously caught my attention and got me thinking…A week later, I made the phone call to JUMPSTART MEDICINE.
I have since learned that if you are ready to make a change and learn healthy eating habits to last a lifetime, then the JUMPSTART MEDICINE program is for you. And as for me, I was more than ready!
Since my first meeting and weigh-in, I have lost 25 pounds, and have even gone down two clothing sizes. It has only been 6 weeks, and I feel great! I have discovered more about myself and my relationship with food through the JUMPSTART MEDICINE program than I have with any other diets or weight loss programs.
Before starting the JUMPSTART MEDICINE program, I had already lost about 25 pounds during the past year by giving up drinking soda and committing myself to regularly exercising. This past summer, I began walking with a friend, Stacie Tamaki, the founder of The Flirty Guide and Best Wedding Blogs. Together, we started a new networking group called The Wedding Walkers. Walking, Talking, Getting Fit! A wedding networking twist!

Overall, I feel very lucky to have discovered a weight loss program that works for me! I have spent time over the last few weeks cleaning out my closet and donating all of my big clothes to The Goodwill, Career Closet-San Jose, and The American Cancer Society. There is no reason to keep them, because I am convinced I have made a change for a lifetime!

Track my weekly weight loss progress here on the sidebar of TWC (The Wedding Chat). I hope this post inspires some of you to make a change. I can’t think of a better way to go into a New Year, can you?
