Before After

174.6!

I broke through my mini goal of 175 this morning! Woo hoo!  I think my next mini-goal will be to break 173, but in reality, I can't wait to break 170!!  It has literally been DECADES since I was in the 160s.  Hope everyone is having a great day!

Less of me

On 9/18/07 I weighed 175.6 and today I weigh 175.2.  I finally reached my lowest weight when I was actively dieting 5 years ago!! Yay!!!  Now on to my goal of 150!

Creeping down

Well, I won't have anything drastic to report at weight watchers.  According to their scales I've lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks.  Almost every day I get on the scale it has gone down by 0.2 pounds.  But you know what?  I'll take it.  My husband has started to notice some difference though.  He says I'm getting my waist back.  AND I bought a dress for a wedding yesterday, a size 14, and it fits!  I'll probably need a body shaper to tuck that belly in, but it other than that it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.  HOpe everyone is having a great day!

New Mini-Goal

My new mini goal will be 176.  That, I believe, was my lowest weight 6 years ago, when I had lost 31 pounds.  Can't wait to see that number again and then keep on keeping on.  Weight watchers is really helping.  I forgot to post it, but I had lost 2.4 pounds at the last meeting, for a total of 3 pounds since I started.  Its slow going, but that way I will keep it off.  

Broke through a barrier!

I finally broke 178! Granted its only by .2 pounds but I'll take it!  I don't know why I had such trouble going past that number, but I was beginning to think that scale would never change.  This gives me motivation to keep going!
 

Closer to my mini-goal

178.0 today!  Yay!!  If I'm careful today, I hope to break through that barrier tomorrow!!

Breaking barriers

Today I weighed 178.6 pounds, which is the lowest weight for several years.  My mini-goal is to break through the 178 mark to 177.  I was at 178 a couple of months ago, but couldn't manage to go any lower.   I really think breaking through that barrier will spur me on to more weight loss.   I'm having baby carrots for snack.  Not as good as chocolate but it will have to do for now.  :)

Here we go again

Well, at least i haven't gained back too much of the weight I'd lost.  I see I weighed 179 before my 10th grandchild was born.  She is 2 now and I weigh 181.  2 pounds, so not so bad.  Still not happy with my weight thuough.  I joined weight watchers last week.  I hope the weekly meetings will make me accountable.  My goal is 152.  we'll see how it goes.  All prayer appreciated.

Still at it

Woo hoo!  I broke 180 and am at 179.5 today.   I'm headed back down to 175 and then to 150.  I've been working on this for a couple of years, but I will do it eventually.  My goal is to be at 150 by the time my 10th grandchild arrives in December.  

Another year.....

Its been a tough year. I got a new job, my daughter got married, my MIL got very sick and passed away in August.  I also got a new grandson in August.  Weight wise I've managed to stay stable.  Still hanging onto 185.  Thank god i didn't gain all my weight back.  My new year's resolution is to get back on my diet.  No DP, get back on the green tea.  Maybe even go back to swim class.  My goal is 160 pounds.  Thats 25 more pounds of fat to free myself of, but I can do it!
