Goal! FINALLY!!!!

Well it’s taken 11 months but I’ve finally reached my goal weight. My weight loss has always been up and down (daily/weekly) so I’ll probably be up a lb tomorrow but for today I’m claiming GOAL! The last 20 lbs were brutal, it took 4 months and I never thought I’d get there. I think I’ll shoot for 5 lbs more to give me a bit of a buffer in case of regain later on.

I’ve been taking agility classes with my dog for a few years. A year ago I was huffing and puffing running a mini course of 5 obstacles and by the time I was finished I thought my heart would burst out of my chest and it would take me ages to get my breath back. Without the weight loss I would have NEVER entered her in a trial as there was NO WAY I was going to attempt to run around a ring with a bunch of people watching my tubby butt hobble around the course!

On Friday, I entered my girl in a trial and she did AWESOME, this was her second trial we did one earlier in December and I ran full courses and my heart rate didn’t go up at all. Well it did a bit but that was from sheer terror of being out alone in a ring with just my dog and hoping to doG I wouldn’t fall flat on my face and make a fool of myself.

I have her runs up on Youtube if you’re interested in checking them out.

Congratulations! It does feel good to be able to do something that you would NEVER do last year. Mine is going to Disney with my kids in February and not being so tired, and have the energy to stay all day long! I can't wait!

Yay Goal!!!! It helps me to hear that it took 4 months for you to lose the last 20lbs. I am 20lbs away from goal and the weight loss has slowed tremendously. Thanks for the post because I am going to keep working at it and hopefully will reach my goal.

It was very frustrating only losing 2 lbs one month then 6 the next etc.. But I stuck to the plan and it finally all came off!

I'm sure you'll reach your goal too! :0)

Yasmeen, you look amazing in those videos! You are such a skinny minnie now. Were you EVER obese??? No one would ever know it. Both you AND your dog are looking good! Congratulations.
