17 Weeks Out

Jan 06, 2009

My first journal entry for 2009!!  What a year it is going to be!  I am thankful every day for the decision that I made last March to take this journey.  I have learned so much about myself in the past 9 months and I can only imagine what else I am going to learn.

We had a "Hold It for the Holidays" contest at work.  Basically we paid $5 and weighed in the week before Thanksgiving.  then we weighed out this week.  Everyone who maintained their weight within 1 pound or lost weight, gets to split the total pot.  You only end up getting about $6-$7, but hey it is a good way to keep yourself in check.  Per their scale, on November 19, I was at 278.4 and today I was at 257.4 for a total loss in 7 weeks of 21 lbs!!! 

1. I have lost 93 pounds (this includes the 15 pounds I lost prior to surgery).
2. I have 54 pounds to go to my first major weight goal!
3. I have lost 26.8% of my body weight.
4. I am 7 pounds from my first 100 pounds lost.
5. I am 32 pounds from my husband’s weight.
6. To get to my ideal weight of 160, I have less than 100 pounds to go! 94 to be exact.
8. I am 1.1 points away from a BMI under 40! I have 7 pounds to go to get there!
