216! I managed to get to 216! I wanted to see 215 by Sept. 1, but as of a couple of weeks ago, I didn't think I'd even see 216. I am pleased and proud. Only 16 more pounds until the big 200.
Also, my highest-ever doctor-recorded weight was 286. So I'm SEVENTY pounds down from there. That's insane to think of. I still have most of the "fat" issues I had then - uncomfortable with my body, can't find cute clothes that fit/look good on me, self-esteem issues. But I've got to admit, it's getting better. I do respect myself a lot more than I did, I'm more comfortable with photos of myself, and I'm more comfortable in my own skin. I'm healthier, and can exercise for hour-long workouts saying "I could do more."
Looking ahead, I still feel like I have a long way to go, but it seems like a short ride to 200 from here.
Goals:
By October 1: 212
By Nov 1: 208
By Dec 1: 204
By Jan 1: 200!
Four pounds a month. Keeping up like I have this past few weeks, this can happen. I've gotten into a habit of going to the gym (hubby coming helps, but last night I went alone) and I'm feeling inspired to eat well. Let's go, Fall!
YAY!!! Congrats! And a very reasonable plan for the ongoing weight loss--1 lb/week is doable! Keep at it! |
Great goals! Congrats on 70 pounds gone!! Your comment from my last entry has me even more excited about going to IKEA, I love the baby stuff there. Pearl's crib and changing table/bureau is from there, there is a toy box that matches when she moves into her own room. |
Sounds like you're doing great, Becki! Wonderful job getting to 216 - 200 isn't too far away. Keep up the good work :-) |
