I was totally not expecting this today. I was even giving myself the "don't be disappointed if the scale hasn't gone down" speech before I weighed in. To my surprise, I dropped 11 lbs. in the last 2 weeks.



I go to my local hospital, because my scale is broken at  home. I haven't weighed in for 2 weeks and didn't really feel that I had lost anything.  But surprise, surprise I did lose.

Now my next goal is to get under 300 lbs. I have nine lbs. to go. Yee-hah!

Oh, and to start exercising finally. I mean it, this is the week. I'm going out to buy myself some "trainers/running" shoes this week. If I have enough left in my budget, I'm getting myself a Wii and a Wii Fit Plus. The new version of Wii AE comes out Nov. 15th. I'd like to get that too.

Have a GREAT Halloween Weekend everyone.

keep thinkin' positive girl and you'll do just fine.

Have any close up pics of your face which you have tucked away someplace  :-)     Eventually, I'll get someone to take another full body shot, but for now, I can see the most difference in my face when I look at my pictures.  I still have this nasty lazy tummy going on when I see a full pic of myself, but when I look in the mirror, it doesn't look so bad.  Go figure.
