x-post Happy 6 months to me!!

  I hit the 75 pound mark today, a nice round number for my 6 month anniversary.  About 6 weeks ago I thought I might hit goal by now, but things really slowed down...just 5 pounds lost in the last month.  I believe that was due to an almost intentional lack of focus.  I was feeling ambivalent about losing anymore weight.  I was a little scared of getting a more drawn look in my face (I'm 51 with good genes, but that only goes so far), and I like my current clothes a lot.  On the other side though, I have a strong feeling that I haven't really arrived and can't "unpack my suitcase" so to speak, and my BMI is 26.5.  I've got a goal-driven little heart, and won't feel settled until I'm under the 25 mark.  So I am going to get more strict and see how I feel at 150 pounds.  12 to go!!! Wish me luck!!!




  2005, around 240.   I would die a little every time I saw a picture of myself like this.



Today, 162.  Me & my sweet Sophie-dog!  And, I finally broke down and bought bike pants cause I've been going on 2 hour hilly rides with a group of women and my butt gets numb.
Hmmm, still look chunkier in the picture than I do in my mirror.
