Gearing Up

We are all gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Out here in Southern California it's summer weather. I am a winter girl and want it to be cold and it's crazy hot!!! This week I am down to 156.7lbs. I am 6.7 lbs til my birthday goal weight. I am so close and so excited. Maybe I will be at my final goal by my birthday!!! We will see...one goal at a time for me :) I love that I am getting to my goal week by week and lb by lb. In the beginning I set an achievable goal and I have been determined to get there and here I am 6.7lbs away. I am thankful for every lb I lose because I know I am getting healthier. Getting healthy outweighs any piece of cake or spoonful of ice cream!!!

Obese to Normal

When I started my journey I was in the obese category and now I am in the normal range. I cannot tell you how exciting it is. My goal is so close. I am so excited to be in the normal BMI range. I lost 2.2lbs and now weigh 159.2. In the entire time that I have been with my husband he has always weighed less than me. Well now I weigh less. That is another goal that I wanted for myself. Not to feel better than him, but when we first got together he could carry me and give me piggy back rides but then I gained so much weight that I wouldn't let him for fear of me hurting him. Well..now I will be able to get piggy back rides again and he can lift me. I have 9.2lbs to get to my birthday goal. This has been an amazing journey thus far and I know it has been worth it. Cheers for getting in the Normal Range on my Wii!!!

over 50

yep i have now lost over 50lbs. i have lost 51.6lbs. I am 161.4lbs and only 11.4lbs away from my birthday goal. I am getting very excited. my goal is so close!!! I have not strayed once thus far and it is paying off for sure. I am just now able to recognize that i am thinner when i look in the mirror. I am happy about that as well. people say when you are overweight for so long, when you lose weight you still see your old self in the mirror. so if you are on the journey to losing weight and still see your old self in the mirror - have no fear it will come when one day you will the change.
