26.8 lbs down. WOW, I don't think I have ever lost this much weight before. Yeah, I have 10 lbs here or 5 lbs there, but there was never a siginficiant chunk of weight loss before. It does feel good, but I still look at myself in the mirror and I have my muffin top and big ole belly. My husband says he can see a change in my legs, chest, and waist. I just can't see it..yet.
So how many doors have I closed? I started at 243 on 06/01/11 and since then I have shut the door on the 240's, 230's, AND the 220's. As of Saturday my weight was 216.8. 17lbs to go and I can wave bye bye to the 200's forever. I can't even remember the last time I was under 200. When I met my husband I wore a size 13 and that is the smallest I can ever really remember being.
My next Dr. appointment is on 09/07. I am curious to see where my BMI is now. When I started this I was in the Morbid Obesity category...I hope I have shed that nasty label!
Happy Dieting my friends......
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't lose the weight, I give myself reasons why I can.
Good going!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of BMI Calculators online if you don't want to wait to find out. Here is one I've used in the past - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bmi-calculator/NU00597
I got back on my program Friday and have been really good all weekend. I feel like my attitude toward this journey has been renewed and improved. I lost over 4 lbs over the weekend and am below where I got stuck last month.
I think it takes a while to see the changes in the mirror. I still see myself the same but my hubby keeps telling me how much he notices. People have started coming up to me at work making comments too which is awesome. :)
Congratulations! The most I have lost at one time is 16 pounds. Thanks for being an inspiration =)
