Weigh-in: Week 17, HALLELUJAH!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Goals| Weigh-In!!

Weigh in today at 249.2! This marks so many milestones.

  • Over 30 pounds lost since beginning again, 17 weeks ago.
  • Over 50 pounds lost since my top weight 4 years, 5 months ago.
  • Down 2.4 pounds this week.
  • 1/3 of weight loss goal - GONE!
  • Less than 100 pounds to go to GOAL! WooHoooooo!

It is shocking to me to see that middle digit: 2-FOUR-9! It is even more shocking to see the “pounds to go” column on my weigh in page: 99.2! This feels like ONE-derland to me. I haven’t spent any weeks at this weight (except when sick) since 1998, and I was above this point 1996-1998. Losing 25 pounds now will put me where I was in 1994.

I’m re-thinking my charting (see: Weigh-Ins page). See new Healthy You Challenge button, left side column. I will set a new interim goal.

And, re-thinking my fitness efforts which really haven’t happened since arriving in Colorado. Less than 100 to go, and I have re-lost all the 34+ pounds put on between 2006 and 2008.

This feels like success to me. This feels like now I can really get serious. Am I going to do this, or not? If I lose more, I will pretty much need new clothes, having not been much below this weight in the last 12 years. The Lord will provide!

I can do this. I can do all things, IN HIM!

That is so awesome, you are making steady, great, healthy progress!!!

Getting into a new digit is always really exciting, and having LESS than 100 to go is just as awesome!

inkheartmeg - too funny on the exclamation points. Sometimes I’m commenting and wonder “why am I *talking* like this??” I don’t usually talk in exclamation points!!! lol BTW, I have the ONE-derland thing wrong. The way they use it on the forum, I think, is when the first digit of your weight is a one. But I FEEL just about that special having ONLY 100 (fewer!) pounds to go. Yep, we can do this, sis! Delita
