Weigh-in: Week 25! WooHoo!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

This doesn’t mean I skipped a week, but somewhere back there I got off track on my weekly numbers. This really is the end of week 25, since the day I started back dieting and began this blog: August 10, 2008. This means next Sunday will be 1/2 year!!

Today — drumroll — down two pounds. Total loss since top weight: 61.6 pounds!! WooHoo!! (New badge in the left hand column.) That is a 3-week average loss of 2 pounds per week, a 9-week average of 1.82 pounds per week, and, down 42.8 pounds since August.

My weight is now below where it was when my son got married, 11 years ago this Valentine’s day. WooHoo! My 20W sizes are hanging on me, and I’m determined not to buy anything larger than an 18 Misses size.

Did you know that a misses 18 is a size smaller than an 18 women’s size? I was trying to get into the 18W but went ahead and tried on a few 18 misses last week and they fit. =D Barely, but not too tight. I’m in the “regular” clothes now!

If I could get to exercising for a few weeks AND drop 10 more pounds, the 18 misses would be skimming me instead of hugging me! LOL And, I get to get a whole new wardrobe! The Lord will provide. =D

Wahoo!

Sometimes the numbers on the scale are so obscure but nothing shows progress like new clothes! And the regular section to boot!!!!

Woohooooo you’re doing so terrific!!!

It’s amazing when you know how many years it’s been since you’ve been a certain size… I was a size 20 when I met my husband 10 years ago and I’m looking forward to being back there again! After that it will be new territory for the both of us (hubby and I) because I haven’t fit into a size 18 for, gosh, over 20 years.

61.6 lbs is quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!

Eileen, I agree. You go, woman, you have a lot to be happy about! I’m looking forward to exploring this new territory thoroughly and making it mine. My next *life marker* is I was hovering just over 230 and soon started going up after moving to NC in 1995, but the year before that, I was in the upper 220ies and able to wear the misses 18s easily. I want to get back to that now! 10 more pounds! Great to see you! Keep up the great work! Delita
