Weigh in was good, we had a meeting today and talked about anchors.  I shared my jeans story and was very happy to talk about it.  A couple people told me how well I was doing on the way out and my mom said to the one lady, "She's my anchor!" talking about me!  I am glad people are encouraged and motivated by seeing I can do it.  It's why I continue to share my losses and my total loss....so people can see that the "results not typical" disclaimer doesn't mean "results not possible."

 

TOM is here this week and I know it's messing with me.  I have been hungrier than usual and feel a little weak in the hand mouth coordination dept.  As in my had puts everything in my mouth.  Hopefully this will be the low spot in my up down cycle and NO gain next week.  I tend to have big loss, then smaller than smaller then gain then big loss again.  Guess I will have to work extra hard this week to make it a good one!

 

OH and I set a new goal.  150 lbs down by my birthday.  My birthday is Feb 16 2006.  I was just thinking too that I usually get clothes for my birthday and I would like to be able to buy jeans in the 20's (sizes) as the ones I bought were 32's.  28, 26, whatever, that would be my goal.  So it's not a wimping out goal, there are 10 weeks till then, and doing the math I need to average a 4.12 lb loss a week each weigh in.  That might be a bit much for me, but you never know!  Sometimes I lose like 7 lbs in a week and sometimes just 1 or 2.  Either way 1% is still just under 4 lbs and I am going to strive for this anyway.  It will help me get through the holidays too knowing I can't afford the gain.  Should be interesting!
