Posted to my WW buddies on GOAD, titled... Saturday WI - THE SCALE MOVED!! :o) I couldn't possibly submit you guys to another one of my WI ramblings two weekends in a row, but I'm just so excited & so darned proud of myself! Down 1.6 lbs this week for a total of 70.2 lbs gone forever! 70 pounds... that's SEVENTY POUNDS!!! OMG! I think my dry spell has passed! This is my 3rd WI in a row w/ a loss of 1 lb or more. My average for the year was about 1/3 of a lb per week up till now! Thank you guys, so much, for your support & encouragement! I'm such a lucky girl to have found such an awesome & comfortable group of people to share my journey with! :o) Thank you, too, my fellow challengers, for keeping me accountable & challenging me to do better... my bonus challenge this week was to get some form of APs in daily & I did that.. LOVED IT & will continue to do so! (33 APs for the week - my average is 12 or so) xoo.. Julie ps...did you know, that in reality, I have really lost EIGHTY pounds since Christmas '02? That was my weight (275#) at a Dr's appt just after Christmas, a month before joining WW. A few weeks before joining, I started journaling again (after 9 months or so off) & was down 10 lbs by the time I joined. I don't know why I don't count those 10 lbs. ?? AND, LOL, my doctor's office has put everything on computer in the last year & when they transferred my weight into the computer, they messed up & put my weight in at 291!! When I saw that this past summer, as the nurse was figuring out my weight loss, I just about cr@pped!! I said "NO WAY! 275 freaked me out enough to start a month later, if it had been 291, I would've started WW the next day!!" So, according to my clinic charts, I have really lost 96.2 lbs!!! LOL!! I told the nurse I didn't like seeing that number (291), but that "I" knew what the number really was & even that didn't matter, because either way, I am that much lighter now!! :o) So much for not rambling, huh?? LOL!! April 28th... I saw my doctor yesterday & we were talking about the fact that I have lost 70 lbs, I even showed her my WW book, LOL, & stated that I ONLY have less than 55 lbs to go to reach goal! She said "what do you think of that number... 55 lbs?" & I said "like it's nothing!" Really... LIKE IT'S NOTHING! (she was surprised... 55 lbs to most people isn't NOTHING... 55 lbs to alot of people is just a start & it's overwhelming... I understand that, but I'm not at the beginning of my journey, am I?) It IS nothing... all it is is time at this point. Time is passing, I'm eating healthy, exercising, striving for a better life & at some point in time I'll reach goal. I know it's going to be sooner than later... I'd like it to be by next spring (2005) just because I'm so darned ready for my PT Cruiser! LOL!! (& want to enjoy it for a while before I have to put it through its first Minnesota winter... salt, etc...) But until then (& even afterwards, of course) it's just living my life... my new life, my awesome life, my healthy life!! :o) Anyways... I'm just blown away w/ how far I've come. :o) MAIN PAGE - WEIGHT CHART - RAMBLINGS MINI.GOALS |
