That's right everyone, I've reached my very first weight loss goal. In the last 4.5 months, I have lost 15 lbs., taking my weight from about 190 to 175. I'm finally at the weight that I feel comfortable in. At this weight, I feel way more like me. From here on out, it's real weight loss. I haven't been below 175 since 2009, so I can't wait for the coming weeks.
So far, that 15 lbs. represents 8.5 inches lost overall. It's been small increments of both pounds and inches, but it is in moments like this one that makes the tortured waiting seem worth while. At this rate it will take about 8 months to reach my overall goal of 150lbs. Isaac mentioned that it doesn't have to take that long if I work more at it (today was the first day in a week that I've gone to the gym). I think that's true, and I think I will have spurts of hard work coming up, but as usual, I don't want to start with something I can't handle. If I take 8 more months I will have completed my goal in about a year, and maybe that's okay.
Hi pretty sister! I'm so proud of you, way to go!! I think your take it one step at a time approach is perfect and more slowly you take it off, the more likely you are to keep it off. Congrats, and good job!
