8 more pounds until I am HALF of myself.

I just noticed today that I have lost 139 pounds to date.

To be HALF of my 294 pounds, I will have to lose 147 pounds.

8 more pounds until I am HALF of myself.

1 more pound until I have lost me at my goal weight

YAY! :)

September Challenge:

Lose 8 pounds. 

i love thinking of weight loss in terms like that! like... when i get to goal in 40ish more pounds (after losing 83 so far) i'll have lost the equivalant of MY MOM from my body. i can't wait to get to my goal and then give her a piggyback ride, hehe.

wow your mom is pretty tiny :)

as i would lose 10 pounds, 10 pounds, 10 pounds, i would think of them like sacks of potatoes. id go to the grocery store and carry around a sack of potatoes just because :) 

she's wicked short! haha.

congrats, and great job!

By the way ... you've already lost MORE than half of you, because you're losing FAT and not bones, muscles and organs!  Isn't that even better? :)  So you can discount the first, oh, 80 lbs or so (maybe more) as "essential" weight.  It's cool to play with the numbers.

That's kind of how I think about my lifespan, too.  The first 20 years don't even count as "real life experience", so I won't be "middle-aged" until I'm 60 (since I plan to live to be 100)! :)

star17, you keep me going!  you really really do.

mmmmWAH

 

*yay baby*

woo hoo!

losing 1/2 of u is mind-boggling ~ seriously, did you even think you could do it when you started????  Dish!!

I did think i could do it when i started. I dont live this way having a 'hopefully it will happen' mindset. that only sets you up for failure :)

I'm just surprised how fast its flown by. I should have done this earlier! 

Congratulations!  That is amazing!  You should be soooo proud of what you have accomplished and what you are about to accomplish!

That is wonderful!  What an inspiration you are.  Congratulations, all your hard work and effort has sure paid off.  :o)
