what a month this has been in the weight loss trip. first i was losing and struggling to lose at least 2 pounds a week. i didn't always lose anything or gained a little. so i thought i would rework my goals and eat as close to my given calories. at least to 200 or below. (see chart). well, it worked i did it and i lost 4.2 pounds this week. now whether it was this or that i don't know. i know i lost it and i am thrilled to death. my DH is laughing at me, the way i came out of the bedroom this morning.

i am just 7 pounds now from my main biggest goal. i really wanted to get back to 212. i gained 26#s from quiting smoking. i weighed 212 when doctor told me to work on quiting. i am now today at 219.6. after i reach 212 again, my next goal will be to get under 200. from there i will see where i stand and what feels right for me. i have to work with my body and what it wants.

i am just so excited about this lose. i am so grateful for it. i can fit into my lower size jeans for the winter. i couldn't fit into them last winter and wore sweats and strechy pants. i am on cloud nine. my DH said the other day that he noticed i am wearing my cuter clothes again. he really likes buying, picking out my clothes for me. he makes me step out of my comfort zone. which is good.

i also lost 1 1/2 inches on my bust and waist. lost 2 inches on my hips.

my closing words......eat your calories.

thanks for reading.....
