Single digits!!

I have EIGHT pounds to go until I reach my goal! EIGHT!!!

I'm fairly certain that I'm going to want to lose more weight, but I'll decide once I hit my goal. It's not just the number that makes me want to lose more, but I truly believe there's more to be lost.

anyway, it's pretty exciting to me... i'm down 74lbs now... i can't believe i was able to do this!

having a rough time

the last week, i've had a hard time with eating right. this weekend was especially bad since we were out of town.

i wouldn't say that this whole weightloss journey has been easy by any means, but this last week has proven to be exceptionally hard.

i guess there's always tomorrow... get back on track and keep heading toward my goal. only 11lbs more to go. and once i'm there, i know i can treat myself to one meal a week of anything i want and not feel guilty.

i just don't know why it's so hard NOW.

70lbs down!

Guess that sums it up! I have 12lbs more until I reach my goal! Woo hoooo!!!

Awesome compliment!

My uncle came to visit this weekend. I'm used to people commenting about my weight loss as soon as they see me. He never said anything and I'll admit that I was a little bummed.

After the kids were in bed, A and I were chatting w/ him and the topic of the gym came up. My uncle said to me, "You sound so much stronger now. Not just that your voice sounds stronger... You just sound [I]stronger[/I]."

I can't even begin to say how much that meant. Because most of the time, people only acknowledge the physical change in me and rarely comment on the mental aspect of it all.

16lbs to go!

I have 16lbs to lose until I reach my goal weight. In all honesty, I know I've come a LONG way, but seriously.. I'm going to need more than 16lbs more to be gone.

Though a lot of people may not understand... I fully plan to have some serious surgery next year (summer 2010). My boobs look like they belong to a 70 year old woman. If I had to have a mammogram right now, there would be NO problem with it being uncomfortable. I kid you not. It's sad. I also plan to have a few imperfections smoothed out. At that point, I figure I'll have busted my ass enough to warrant having it done. While I have no delusions about having a perfect body, it would be nice for it not to jiggle so much. (And oh my!! The jiggling has gotten waaaaay worse!! Damn skin just hanging around. YUCK!)

BUT. I kick ass, so whatever. ;)


Oh.. And a new pic in "real" clothes!

Time for a new post and new pics!

Well, I'm down over 60lbs now!! I have 20lbs to go until I reach my goal. I seriously can't believe it. I never would've thought I had it in me.

50lbs!!!!

I was too chicken to weigh yesterday so I waited until this morning. I'm officially down 50 pounds. FIFTY!!

(No, that's not the goal I was talking about in my last post. Twelve more pounds to go for that.)
