GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As of this morning I've met and exceeded my weight loss goal.

My original goal was to get down to 150 lbs from a starting weight of 256.6 lbs, for a total of 106.6 lbs lost. I've now lost 107.4.

My goal going forward is to keep my weight between 148 lbs and 155 lbs, and to never let it exceed 155 no matter what. Never again. Never, NEVER again will I let myself look the way I used to look, feel the way I used to feel. NEVER. I want to savor this feeling, keep it, and remember how good it felt to finally be at goal.

So close, so close...

Only 4 tenths of a pound away from goal. Can't believe it.

I also kind of started a relationship with a new guy...I don't know where it will go but so far, so good. He can pick me up as if I weigh nothing and referred to me as a "tiny little thing". :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Another milestone reached!

Just passed the 40% mark today; since July 2008 I have lost 40% of my weight! I'm 3.6 pounds from goal and feeling good!

I think this plateau is busted!

After recovering from pneumonia my weight loss skidded to a halt and I bounced around between 157 and 159 lbs for almost a month.

Today I weighed in at 154.4, a total loss of 102.2 pounds from my high in July of 256.6 pounds. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made it to the century mark!

My weight loss has slowed to a trickle since I recovered from pneumonia and I've also been extremely busy with work, but I am taking special time out to post this morning:

I have lost 100 pounds. WOW!

100 freaking pounds.

100 stinking pounds.

100 pounds.

I can't believe it!

Still stuck at 159

I've been good and I'm still stuck weighing in between 159 and 160. I've seen it as low as 158.6 and as high as 160.8 this week. It's PISSING ME OFF!

Plus the quitting smoking is not going well.

Grrrrrrr.

What's wrong with me?

No changes except...

I've been trying to get back into a good routine and it has not been easy; I am very sore from my lift class but I have kept forcing myself to keep going to the gym even though it's so HARD!

I haven't lost any weight this week either. :-(

Plus this weekend I have been VERY naughty with the smoking. I'm back to my old habits, and I have a date tomorrow with a guy who HATES cigarette smoke. Why do I bother?
