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.

You look fantastic!

BTW - bike pants look like crap on everyone - even the bikers who are stupid enough to wear them around like actual clothing garments.

That said, you are rocking those fitted workout clothes!

 You look like you're in your 30s!!!!

You look great. I say go for that goal and if you think you're too thin, you can let the scale slide up a bit. Congrats on doing so well!

Thanks, everyone for the great support.  I do feel great!  I feel strong and healthy, and I'm way bendier than ever.  Getting dressed is so much more fun at size 12 than at size 22W.  I'll report back once I reach goal!
