Sixty Down & Forty to go....

[nomorejellybelly 77]

OMG!!!

It just hit me that as of today, I only have forty lbs to go to my goal weight that I have on my signature line here. I'm thinking that as much as I'm able to fit into smaller clothes at the weight I am right now, I think 115 should be just fine. I don't want to be a skeleton after all.

It's funny, because I was just modifying my signature line to show my current weight and that's when it hit me. KaBlam! Forty lbs to go!!

This means, that I have now lost more than 1/2 of what I wanted to lose.

I'm enjoying hearing the different words that people use to describe how much weight I've lost/how good I'm looking: Like "You're melting away", You're skinny", "You're wasting away" and I think my favorite is the one I heard today "You're disintegrating". Today another female I work with called me and told me she had seen me walking down the hallway and told me I was looking good.

Even though my weight fluctuates up and down 2-3 lbs for awhile, I eventually really go down to a lower weight and then the same thing happens again. (It's like I get this little plateaus all the time), I am happy.

I still think my thighs look like tree trunks, accept at least they're more muscular tree trunks than before.

So, I just had to share this. I hope everyone else is doing well and if you're struggling, stick with it. I know it's not been super easy for me, but it's paying off big time.

Great job!! I also was told today "You are looking thinner" and it is just so nice to hear (though hard to know how to take a compliment, know what I mean?)

Congrats to you! I cant wait to get to 1/2 way. That will feel pretty good! I just posted the same thing about the way that I am losing. I get a fill and drop big and then play around with 1-2 lbs for awhile and then I will lose 1 lb a week for a couple of weeks a then I am ready for a fill again. Weird

Wow! You have accomplished so much already! Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone and good luck to you all also.

P.S. I did hear a new word to describe how much I'm losing. The other day, one of my co-workers said I was disintergrating. I was like, "Well, thanks; I appreciate that".

Im down 38 with 39 to go, so im pretty much 1/2 way there. It is funny how it just hits you some times of how much you really have lost.

I have little mini goals and I am only 3 lbs from of 196 by august 1st. But if I continue at the rate im going, im still gonna make my goal by thanksgiving.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!
