Thinking about changing my goal weight

My goal weight is 149 lbs. I set that goal when I first started losing weight. It seemed like a number that I would never be able to get to. Now that I am less than 20 lbs away from that weight I am thinking about changing my goal. In order to be in a healthy BMI I have to be 136 lbs or less. I want to be in the healthy BMI. I haven't decided what I want my ultimate goal weight to be. I know it is just a number and I wont really know where I want my weight to end up at until I get there but it still helps to have a number to shoot for. I am leaning toward 132 lbs. I wish I could see how I would look at 132 lbs right now so I could know for sure it that is what I want to be. Only time will tell I guess.

Those make your butt look little 12-18-08

Holy cow. I won $175 in a 6 week weight loss challenge on Sat. Today I took some of the money and went to buy some new clothes. It is a great problem to have that none of my clothes fit. Today I tried on 5 pairs of pants. I ended up getting a pair of jeans and a pair of khakis. The jeans are a size 10 and the khakis are an 8! I am shocked that I can get them up past my knees and even more shocked that they fit perfect! I put on the jeans when I got home and Mikey said "You look little". I asked him what he meant and he said "Those make your butt look little!" lmao. He is going to make a great husband to some lucky woman one day. Now if he could just teach his dad to say stuff like that.

Size 8's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stop smiling.

Update on my weight.

Weight last week: 167
Weight this week: 166.5

Lost this week: .5 lbs

Total lost so far: 138 lbs

Left to lose: 17.5 lbs

Another roller coaster week with my weight. This weekend I made and ate divinity, fudge, and Irish potato candy. It was a bad weekend eating wise. On Saturday night I saw 178 lbs on the scale. A lot of it was water retention from TOM and salt from all the junk food I ate Saturday. Thank goodness I had a few days to eat right and flush it all out of my system before I had to weigh in. I have to start being consistent again. I know I am going to eat bad tomorrow and Thursday I just hope to keep it in check.

Jon is amazing

Jon was 218.5 lbs this morning. He is 3.5 lbs away from his goal weight. This is the least he as weighed since he was about 13 0r 14 years old. It blows my mind. He has been maintaining his weight at around 220 lbs for the last 6 months or so. He makes me believe that we can do this for life. I am so inspired by him!

Watch out 160's...here I come!

Weight last week: 171
Weight this week: 170.5

Lost this week: 0.5 lbs

Total lost so far: 134 lbs

Left to lose: 21.5 lbs

TOM is here. I could have lost more this week but ate REALLY bad on Sat. I am ok with it. I hope to hit the 160's next week.

~~~~12's~~~~

I am on cloud 9 right now. I went to a thrift store today to get a few sweaters cause it is getting cold here. They had thier pants on sale for $2.99 a pair. I have been wearing 14's. They only had 1 pair of 14's that I liked but they had 2 pairs of size 12's that I liked. I figured I couldn't beat the price and I would be able to wear the 12's in a month or two. I tried them all on when I got home and the 12's FIT. The 14's are a little baggy and the 12's fit perfect. When I started losing weight I was wearing size 28 pants. My goal size was 12. I can't believe I am sitting here wearing 12's. In 14 months I went from size 28 down to size 12!!! I am changing my goal size to 8's as of today. If I can get to a 12, I can get to an 8!!!

I'm baaaaaaaaack!

Weight last week: 175
Weight this week: 171

Lost this week: 4 lbs

Total lost so far: 133.5 lbs

Left to lose: 22 lbs

I had a really good OP week. Last weeks gain made me take a long hard look at my eating and get back on track. I was nicely rewarded with a 4 lb loss this week. My hope is to be in the 160's sometime in the next 2 weeks. I can do it!
