Weighed in at an even 207 this morning. I’m down 24.8lbs from my starting point and on track for meeting my initial weight goal.
I had a sobering thought pass through my head today. I don’t have an exercise regimen in place so I try to get it in where I can. We just stocked up on softener salt so I decided to carry the bags to the basement one at a time. I put our 18lb 6mo old in one arm and a 40lb bag of salt in the other. This was an extra 58lbs on me. I carried the weight fine but it dawned on me that the combined weight was my all-time high of 265. I can’t imagine having that weight on me again. Thoughts like these really remind me of why this needs to be a lifetime change.
Since I was so heavy when I was young I got a lot of compliments when I first got down into the 220-30 range. It was pretty easy to accept that as good normal. I carry my weight all over so it took loosing 15lbs this time around for many people to see it on me. It feels good to be getting positive reinforcement again but I’m not stopping this time. My current goal is to hit 199. After that I’ll revaluate things and make a new plan.
Thanks to all of you for contributing great info!
