Five pounds from my half way point!!!
As I said before I just got out of a stall and in the last few days I have lost four pounds putting me at 5.6 lbs from my half way point!!! Not to bad for only 15 weeks and one day out!!! Thank you vsg!!!! I can't wait to be at goal, but my next mini goal is to be at 180 by my birthday, September 26!!! That's only nine pounds. I hope I can reach it. I was averaging about 13 lbs a month so hopefully I can reach my mini goal. My BIG goal is to be down to be 155 by Christmas. I have a dress that I really want to wear for the holidays and if it doesn't fit me this year I won't get the chance to wear it because it will be too big next year. I also look forward to halloween this year because I SHOULD be able to actually dress up this year. Can you imagine being able to actually dress up for halloween and join in the fun? It will be amazing. Ok everyone have a wonderful day. HUGS
Only a week ago you were down because you had lost so little. give the program a chance. It will happen if you follow the program. But again, don't set yourself up for being all down by setting goals that you don't have control over, your body does. The further out you get, the slower you will lose. That is a given. Accept that following the program is your goal, not your weight at a particular point. Getting to goal is wonderful, but remember this isn't a sprint, it is a marathon and the real goal is being healthy for life.

That is so exciting - the halfway point was a major psychological victory for me. It was at that point that I realized that I was really going to get to my goal weight. I love that you have several mini-goals set for yourself. You'll have to post pictures of yourself in your Halloween costume this year :-)
