Okay, so I’m still here. Still at it. Still in the low 180s (yay! LOW 180s. Not high. Not mid. Yay!) and seeing some old friends and getting great compliments about how I look.
Still 20-25 pounds away from goal and still eight months away from “the big birthday” for which I wanted to lose this weight in the first place (and that’s not exactly the right way to phrase it. I wanted to be as HEALTHY as possible by 40. I will be).
Hope everyone is loving life! I’m taking a break from cocktails for most of the month of November. That should help. Sort of doing a post-Halloween detox. Yay!

So my weight keeps being in the 180s. And not the good “oh so close to 170s” 180s. The actual, real “I guess I weigh in the 180s” 180s. :\
Bleh.
Time to kick things into high gear, but I’m just so dang comfy “as is” that I can’t get motivated to “get closer” to my goal. There’s the whole “am I afraid of succeeding” thing. And the “am I lazy” question. Probably a bit of yes in both columns.
Gotta get serious about this, if I’m serious about it. 
Yes, it’s awesome to have lost so much and to have stayed this far south of where I started (240) for so dang long, but I am not at my goal yet, so I need to get back at it.
Hoping the desire to do that washes over me with overwhelming enthusiasm… soon.
How’s everyone else doing?

Just doin’ the usual “log in and post something before my account gets deleted for being inactive.”
Still weighing in the 179-184 range (not happy about the upper end of that, as it makes me feel like I’m actually a gal in the 180s, and that was not the plan).
But I’m actually feeling really great. I’m in HUGE size 16s. HUGE. And that’s amazing. I haven’t been “swimming in 16s” in a long time. I’m having to belt ‘em to get ‘em to stay up. I probably should buy 14s, but that just seems way too ambitious for a gal in the 180s. Maybe next month.
Point is, even though my weight is sticking in this range, I’m changing shape and my bod looks fantastic. I’m so close to goal weight (and I know, I keep changing it to smaller weights. Just can’t help it) and I’m pretty thrilled about where I might be before my 40th b’day, which is still nearly a year away.
Just happy. Just feeling really good. Just making better choices and living my life. It’s a good place to be.
