Wow. I mean, WOW!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Just realized. Six months, 44 pounds. Why, that is 7.3 pounds lost per month, almost 1.7 pounds per week. And of course with the previous 17.8, a grand total loss of 61.8 (but not in six months).

WOW!

It is just starting to sink in. I would have never set my goal that high. I mean, I would not have thought it was possible. Especially, of course, for me. My biggest concern at the first was that I would stick with it a month, then at least two. My hope was for a pound a week, or less.

Now my thoughts have turned toward making sure I change as my body’s needs change. I mean, I’m sure I’ll have to change things up at some point and I have *got* to start exercising again.

But for now, wow. I mean, WOW!

How awesome for you. I am so happy for you! I hope you do start exercising and find a way that it is enjoyable. Exercise was a joke to me before, something you had to drag yourself through. But somehow I started liking it and literally Thank God for that because without it I would’ve failed by now and given up hope. When I started this I was 310 lbs. I set a rough goal of reaching 200, not really thinking it would be possible. Then a trainer and other calculators gave me the ideal goal of 160-165. So I set it at 175, then gave in and thought maybe 165 IS possible….Lately, I’ve been thinking, wouldn’t it be neat if I halved myself? and went to 155? Really, I cannot picture a 1 as the first digit.

Keep up the great work. You’re doing it!

That is awesome!! Congratulations! It’s amazing how much we have done when we stop back and think of it. And for some reason, that makes all the ups and downs worth it.
