80 Pounds!

Ack! The scale said 320 today! Well, 319.6 to be specific. But I'm going with 320. I know that there are mixed opinions out there in the dieting world about planned cheat meals. But, my trainer recommended I go off plan (without going crazy) one day then get right back on to "shake things up a bit" since your body is so good at adapting to what you're doing after a while. It seems to have done the trick for me. I was 325 when I "cheated" and 326 on Monday. And today I'm 320! I really am thrilled. :)

My next short term goal is to be under 300 by Halloween. How exciting is it going to be to be able to say that I've lost 100 pounds! Of course, it's still a little disheartening to know that I will still be morbidly obese after losing 100 pounds... but that's the situation I'm in and I can't change my starting weight... just my current weight. And I'm working my butt off to do just that!

My sister commented to me on the phone the other day that she didn't remember my eyes being so big. I told her that it just looks that way because my eyes would get swallowed up by my fat face whenever I would smile before!

Goodbye 80 pounds!

Congratulations on your loss! 80 pounds lost is absolutely fabulous!!! You are doing a fantastic job!

I hope that going off plan and having a cheater's meal will work for me, too... because I totally pigged out tonight for dinner. I guess I'll find out on my weigh-in next Thursday!

80 pounds. This is soooo terrific. Can you imagine how much better that is for your insides. They say losing 10% improves your health markedly. Well, you've lost 20%.

I send you positive vibes to help you to your Halloween goal. It's a very ambitious goal, and it would delight me to see you achieve it.

Go, go, go!

Onward and downward!
