As I Get Closer To My Goal, Things Slow Down

Sep 17, 2012

I've noticed as I lose the weight, it becomes slower as I get closer to my goal...Instead of 2 pounds a week lost, I now lose 1 pound a week...I get that...to lose I have to determine both intake (calories) and outtake (calories burned)...These are things that prior to my WLS, I never knew...Now I know and have to adjust to my lifestyle. But it's worth it for the increase in my health and more active lifestyle. Even my kids who never critized my weight seem to be prouder, often commenting on who much better I look or healthier I've become with the lost of weight.

So slowly (or at least more slow than 9 months ago)...I will inch my way down to my new normal weight of 145 pounds...And why 145? Because it's the high end of a normal BMI for someone my age and height...I've never been there or it was so long ago (can you say 1960's) that I really don't remember! I've been given this great gift of becoming something I've never really experienced as an adult (having a normal average weight) and I plan to get there and stay there regardless of how slow I travel there!
