Halfway
As of this morning I weighed in at 215 which is halfway to my goal weight. I have 59 pounds left to lose.
This has been a frustrating process for me. I am such a plateuer. Is that a word? I drop a pound, gain 3 go down one pound at a time to the original weight, lose one, go up, etc.... Its been a painful pound to pound drop!
As most of you know I have recently rejoined my professional football team, and it is taking the inches off like crazy. I am gaining muscle, and the slightly atrophied muscles I had are getting some definition and starting to look a little like the old me under all that chub I carried!
I am praying that the increased (rediculous) level of activity will lead me to a big drop in pounds once my body balances out the muscle mass. As it is, I am not freaking out because I look hot in a sports bra and underwear at this moment :) I seem to have lost the wiggly jigglies and am firming up nicely!
Just wanted to take a moment and tell you all how amazing you are, and thanks for all the support to get to here! Next goal is onderland!

Ok funny you should say that...
In football we wear a girdle that has pads in stategic spots. The tailbone, hips and thighs. I never wore the hip pads because mine were built in. So I went to practice without them, was in a tackling drill and "found" my hips really really quick! LOL. I have to pad em up now! there are a couple spots I would not mind still having a little chub till season is over :)

Heya Barb -
Been away and hadn't heard that you'd taken the jump and joined that football team! WOOT! Good on you! Give em hell!
Just a quick thought on the weight loss - keep in mind that numbers are not always the best measure of our weight loss. I've noticed on some weeks when my weight loss is minimal I might still see some big changes in the way my clothes fit.
This isn't a steady process - it can be stop and go. In my mind, the body wants to hold on to as much mass as it can. Sometimes we need to wear our body down by doing the same, steady "good for us" things over time. Even though weight loss might not be immediate, there seems to be a point where the body gives up and goes along with you. At least that seems to happen for me.
Try to relish the awsome little things that keep popping up during the process, keep doing your best, and let the trip take as long as it needs to.

Thank you for the encouragement. I agree about numbers. i was originally a scale freak. I would weigh when i get out of bed, after I ate and especially after a good trip to the bathroom and weigh before I went to bed to make sure the day had not fluctuated out of control. Now, I weigh every couple of days and try not to think about it honestly. I think having no control over that scale for so many years made me a bit obsessive in the begining! I am awfully glad to be past that stage! I dont want to be a slave to anything...food or a scale!
