So now on to week 28.  Wow, i've been doing this for 7 months.  I did get off track for a while there, but i've gotten back on track, something that i cant see myself doing in the past.  More importantly, even while sort of off track, i didnt go crazy.  I knew i was slipping and needed a break, but made sure i stayed below 150 and was sure i would snap back and continue soon.  And now i have.  I have to admit that when my motivation was slipping i decided to raise my goal to 140 and stop there for a bit.  I figured seeing my goal so in sight would help.  Plus i realized my old clothes were getting really loose, and i would actually have to buy a lot of new stuff if i got down to 130.  Which is interesting since a lot of what is getting loose is stuff i used to wear at 130.  Well, i know i dont have money for a new wardrobe but my mother stepped in with some extra motivation this time.  If i do reach 130 she said she'd finance all the new clothes i need.  So 130 here i come.  Only 10.6 pounds left! 

I remember when i started how intimidating losing 50 pounds seemed.  I can't believe i've lost just over 40.  I can definitely see the difference though.  I'm proud of myself.  And i have hope that despite slipping up for a little while i can still reach my goals in time.

First Goal: 170 by May 5th - Reached April 22nd!

Second Goal: 160 by the end of June - Reached May 27th!

Third Goal: 150 before the beginning of fall semester - Reached July 5th!

Fourth goal: 140 by Samhain (Halloween)

Fifth goal: 130 by my birthday (December 1st)

I think i can definitely get to 140 in the next month, after all, i only have .6 pounds to go!!! *does a happy dance*

And after that its only 10 more.  The past 5 have been more difficult, so i think the last 10 will be the hardest, but i can do it.  I'm so excited!
