I finally hit the TWO-TEENS!!!

WOOOT!!!  I am now 219!!! I haven't weighed this little in 5 years.  Not that it is really "this little" but definitely better than the last 5 years.  I am now down 39 pounds with 69 to go to my first major goal of 150- which will be 108 pounds lost.  Ultimately I want to go to 140 which will be 118 pounds lost. 

I am so close to ONEDERLAND!! My goal is to hit 199 or less by Thanksgiving.  I just keep thinking about it and thinking about it. I want so badly to be healthy and fit.  Next summer I want to be at the pool without being self conscious.  I want to chase a ball around the yard or ride bikes with Noodle - my little guy who is turning 7 in December.  I am also looking forward to getting off Metformin and my blood pressure medication of Losartan.  Fitness is what I want- looking good will just be a benefit of that!!

Progress Pictures

Over to the right you can see my before pic at 258.  Here are some pictures from Friday weighing in at 223.

On the move again....

OK- I still feel sort of stuck but I am down to 223.2 - so at least the downward trend is continuing.  I just wish it was faster. 

I still need to focus on getting more water and I think once the pool closes and my mode of exercise changes to something more sweat inducing then perhaps the scale will move down faster.

A new progress picture coming soon.

Stuck

ARRGGGHH!!!!!  I have been "stuck" at 225.something for 14 days!!! Except for one of those 14 days and today I am at 224.6.  I am hoping the stall is over and I will now be on a downward trend again.  Nothing has changed.....still eating in my calorie range and still exercising 5 days a week. 

I am focused on lots of water today and hoping that will help.  I am hoping this stall is related to wacky TOM issues and not a "real" stall.  How could it possibly be "real" when I have only lost 34 pounds with so many more to go???
