Default 50 Pounds gone!
I'm so excited! I finally got to the 50 pounds lost point. I still have quite a ways to go, but I'm absolutely thrilled at my progress so far.

This last six or seven pounds has been a nightmare, so I'm glad to finally get past it. I kept jumping around between 229 and 225 and the other day I got to 224 only to be up to 225.5 the next day (but I started my TOM on that day (yesterday) so I wasn't too surprised).

The funny thing was, I was shopping yesterday with my mom and my jeans started to fall off when we were walking to the car! (And they were my 'small' jeans). Luckily I had a long jacket on! Of course, I weighed myself as soon as I got home, but I was still 225.5. I weighed myself today not expecting any change, so I was ecstatic when I hit 222, 50 pounds lost since June 5th!

My next mini-goal is to get to 208.5 (out of the dreaded obese category and into the less stinging overweight category...I'm 5'10) and then to 190, the lowest I've been in my adult life and then onwards. Thanks for listening/reading my rambling...I'm just so excited

Congrats! Some months you lose more inches than pounds, but the effect is the same. Congrats on your 'small' jeans being too big now!
