Milestones

I am sitting doing an analysis for work, and  I keep coming across the word "MILESTONES" and I realized that I have hit some pretty big ones in the last few weeks and haven't shared them on here.

Firstly, a couple of weeks ago now, I hit my 50 lbs since joining weight watchers, which meant a cool magnet for me!  That meant a total loss of 65 pounds since i started this whole adventure back in february of 05.  I have since lost 6 more pounds and am feeling great with 71 pounds down...I am so close to the 160's I can taste it;)

Secondly, I completed a 10 k run. I didn't do it in an official race or anything like that, just on the treadmill. I find it help me pace myself much better.  I am taking a couple of weeks off from running and doing some biking and elliptical work while I work out a half marathon training schedule. A hefty goal, but I can't wait to tackle it 

Lastly, I bought my wedding dress.  At first this was a sacry thought to me cause I wasn't sure on sizing and all that fun stuff...plus I wasn't sure my arms and chest were ready for a strapless dress.  But it looked pretty great! AND it is ordered in a 14...THATS RIGHT!!! When I ordered my dress for my best friend's wedding in september 05 it was a 22W or a 24W...eiteher way, it was much bigger.  So I felt really great about that!

So things have been progressing.  Still really S.L.O.W but I am feeling pretty fabulous and I am still seeing results, so it is all positive.  Hopefully the last 29 pounds will be gone before the wedding, preferable before my dress is in, so any alterations can be made. 

One day at a time!

Hiya!

Hi, I was browsing through the blogs and your title caught my eye! I had to write and say GREAT JOB! I hope I can be saying similar things in the near future regarding such a wonderful weight loss. I seem to be stuck without any oompf to get moving. =) But everytime I read a success story such as yours I get more and more convinced that I can do it too. So, thank you for sharing your thoughts for others to read and get inspired by! Good luck and have a great wedding! Karen
