UPDATE another goal Achieved!!!!!!

I am so excited; I just realized I have passed the half way mark.  I have lost 46 pounds and only have 41 to go!! (31 would be fine to).  This feels so right and good for me.  I feel so much healthier already!  So anyway I wanted to share to keep motivation going.  I had hit a plateau and realized I was using the calories the site said I burn  (without exercise) and the calories it said I should eat but forgot to calculate the exercise calories. So I am eating more and back to loosing again.  This site is so good for being able to figure things out. I created a separate spreadsheet to help me average my daily calories and the average deficit so I keep more on track.HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Update;

 I have now lost 59 lbs, meeting 65% of my original goal 25% of my original weight. I can "almost" fit nicely in a size ten, not there yet but borderline.  My reward to myself is new glasses (old ones were all chipped and old looking & didn't go with my new blond hair).  Total inches 39.77 gone. Now I only have 29 lbs to go (gee that would mean 19 if I go for the lighter goal.... naw I'm going for the gold!!!)    

 

it feels great doesnt it?!? its like a high.

congrats!

yes it does feel great and even better because I had missed it ( a coouple of pounds ago) so I am not going crazy over goals. I have made this more of a change of life and not obsessing over it as much as I use to, when I tried before!

congradulations on being motivated all this time and wanting to keep going, you'll reach it sooner than you think.

It says I will reach my gaol around October 22 2008. That sounds so far away but I've been thinking about it and I started in July which is about 7 months ago so I know you lose more in the begining and it's only 3 more months than I already have been into it AND since I know this is a life style change and not a diet then what's another ten months ( I keep telling myself that!).  thank you

Awesome job!!! Good luck with the rest!!!! :-D

OH my goodness! Thats so incredible!

Major pat on the back... you totally deserve it! And what a great way to bring in the new year!

WAY TO GO! =D

Congrats, and keep it up!

I'm glad you posted that! It helps others' motivation! Sometimes we lose sight of the bigger picture! HOW GREAT DO YOU FEEL!

HOW GREAT WILL I FEEL when I do it?!?!?

thanks for posting!!! and many, many congrats!!!

i've lost 47 since 9/4 & i have 41 more to go :D same as you, i don't really need to lose the whole 41, but it's a goal...

i'm 5'8" & that would make me 130 with a 20 bmi. i'm not real sure i need to be a 20 bmi lol

Good Luck with the rest!!!

Snowfence that's wonderful, I agree you don't need to go down to 130, from what I read 140 would be perfect. Your doing great and if I read you details right your husband also lost 45 lbs and doing this with you. Wow what better support could you ask for!  Great job both of you!!!

 

What a landmark!  October may *seem* far away but its definitely on its way and think how you'll feel when it arrives, not to mention all the way there trimming down. 

But for now you dropped over half you extra weight - awesome!  And you got your cals up and didnt get stuck in that less is better calorie trap.  Enjoy the rest of the 'trip'.

yay!  Congrats.

Well done :)        

I also  checked my measurments and I have lost 35.525 inches as well! I can tell in my pants for sure but really have not lost anything in my arms. I want to have my arms reduced. At one time I was well over 300 and lost to 110 and the thryoid went back out of control. I at least stopped it before it got to 300+ again. The arms are not going down. If anyone has any experience with skin reduction please let me know.  Thanks

congrats
