I'm so glad this journal exists on CC.... I mean, I keep a paper journal too- but having this specific weight loss journal has helped immensely!

Guess what guys.... (incase some of you hadn't heard yet) 

I have lost over 100lbs!

I did it!  I am a healthy weight!!  FINALLY!  Ha... I went through SO many tempting diets... really, I tried everything... but after a couple of you hit me in the head with the metaphorical smart stick, I got the point and realized slow and steady is the way to roll!

Want to know the best and worst part of losing 100lbs????  Best... I feel healthy... like I can run more than 30 seconds... hell, I can run steady over 30 minutes!  Worst... however... I still feel like tomorrow I'm going to wake up and be 250lbs again.  It's weird... like I look in the mirror and see the little me... but I also see the 250lb me.  Sometimes I feel so fat still!! 

Friends have asked me what comes next... I've reached my goal, now what do I do?  Ha, make another!  I might be a healthy weight but I can still pinch a few inches here and there... so my next goal is to be toned and maybe drop to 130-135... we'll see.  My skin is flabby-mc-flab-flab so that sucks... but I'll tone as much as possible and then see what my options are. 

Oh... and other wonderful news... Mark and I are planning baby #2 =)  We took the mirena (IUD) out October 19 and have been having a blast trying ever since lol.  I've been eating around 1400cals and doing a 20min walk, 20min strength & 20min ab workout (only working out Mon-Thurs though)... think I'll be ok but I'll talk to Dr. once I know for sure baby is on the way =)
