As I've said since January--slow and steady wins the race. It has taken me this long to lose 25 lbs. since January and you know what, I'm ok with that--because it is staying off. One year ago in June, I weighed about 210bs. (per my doctor's office).--today, I weigh 169.5--that is a 40.5 weight loss since about a year ago.
So, what is 25 lbs.?? 5 bags of ice (5 lbs. each)....12.5 bags of M&Ms (the 2 Pounders)...yup, all of that GONE!
40.5 lbs.? Well that's really easy...my 8 year old weighs about 47 lbs. so just shy of lil ole Bailey.
I have about 40 more I want to lose--so I'm hoping this time next year, I would have reached that goal.
Since I have reached this mini goal--I wonder what I should reward myself with....(non-food related).
Bring on the ideas!!!
My First 5K
Monday, May 23, 2011
I completed my first 5K walk yesterday. I completed the Weight Watchers Walk-it Challenge in a little over an hour (1:05:30). I am so happy I completed this as it was a huge step for me. My family, friends, even FB friends were my biggest cheerleaders and I'd have to say I totally think it's gonna stick this time--the weight LOSS, not the weight.
So here it is, the pic that was taken after my 5K was completed. I DID IT!
Oh yeah, I weighed in this morning because I was SOOO GOOD this weekend--I'm officially at 170.0 lbs.

My weight is coming off slow--however at least it's coming off, right? I wish I didn't feel so discouraged, but hey at least I'm still losing.
I have lost a total of 22 lbs. in about 4 months - the thing I'm most proud of is I've sticked with Weight Watchers THIS LONG. I'm hoping by the end of summer, I will be at least 15 lbs. lighter around August, I suppose.
For me, what I weigh right now is a point of no return--I haven't weighed this less since before my daughter was born and it feels awesome. I'm on my way down and I haven't looked back (or up) in a while.
Wish me luck and let's hope I continue to succeed. All of you that read my blog (very few, lol) and those that actually leave comments, I am forever greatful. Thank you.
