185! 50 pounds lost....
So my original goal weight was 185. Actually 185 has always been my goal weight - for about 10 years I have thought that 185 is a good number. It's not so low that it feels out of reach (like 150 is really skinny!) but it still is thin. When I started this journey back in April, I decided 5 pounds each month is reasonable and that would get me to 185 by February. Then, in June, my diet change completely kickstarted the weightloss and it just started to fall off me (usually about 10 lbs a month). I realized at my last weigh-in (before Labor Day) that my 192 put me 7 pounds from my original goal. Then I weighed in after Labor and had zero weightloss. Depressing. So at Friday's weigh-in I was hoping for 2 pounds on the scale, best case scenario 4 lbs. 4 lbs would be good, that would be 47 lbs lost so I could tell people at Katie's wedding 50 lbs (close enough!). I was nervous at weigh-in and when it beeped and I looked down, it said 185.6 lbs. I can't describe that feeling. A HUGE VICTORY!! I may have even fist pumped. Clearly, 185 isn't my goal anymore. I just want to see where my body lands based on my smart eating but to lose 7 lbs in one week is amazing and to hit 185 in the same day was just exhilerating! Still as I write this a couple days later, I can't believe it. SO EXCITING!!!
