Lose 30 pounds

I had been down to 137 pounds! Well good for me. I gained it back though.

So I now weigh 148 pounds, and my goal is to weigh 120, but I think I’ll be happy at 130 too, since I work out a lot.

There’s this girl at my gym (my old gym :( ) that had pictures up on the bulletin. She once weighed about 280 lbs or something, and now, after two years of exercise and dieting, she weighs 150 pounds. She looks fantastic. I was struck by her pictures. The way she moves, the way she works out, all of that…she doesn’t look like she was ever 130 pounds heavier. And I would have guessed her to weigh about 120, rather than 150. She just seems confident. That’s inspiring.

So yeah, I’m not really that concerned with the number of pounds. The most important thing is that I feel good about myself. Still, it doesn’t hurt to try anyway.

I find that when I get sick I lose an awful lot of weight. It’s not the way I prefer it happening. But I’m okay now, except skinnier.

I lost another two pounds. I’m pretty happy about this. That makes a total of -13 pounds. Almost halfway done.

I’m down another two pounds, for a total of -11 pounds. And I can actually see it now, finally. A difference. I put on some old jeans and they’re loose on me! I feel reassured now. I was beginning to think I would never lose anymore weight.

Last week I lost another pound. So now I’m at 141 pounds, which is a total of 9 lost. To me, that doesn’t sound like a lot. Especially when it’s been so many weeks. But what’s important is that I’m keeping up with it, and I want to make it happen. Well, I can look at it in an optimistic way…I’m almost 1/3 of the way through.

I’m now down to 142 pounds. It’s taken forever. Also, it’s kind of weird that I’ve lost any weight, since for this reason and that I haven’t been able to go to the gym for the last week and a half. That will all change for the better later today or early tomorrow. But I’m now a total of -8 pounds down since I began this, and there are just 22 left to lose. Just.

Down another 1.5 pounds, to a total of 7 lost. Patience is important I guess, and also definitely keeping it at. I’m so happy right now. Yay!

23 to go.

What did I weigh in at yesterday? Well now I’m 144.5. That’s 5.5 down. Fantastic. I’m keeping with it.

Looks like I might run your cheers out after all, Lee.

This morning I weighed myself and I was 146 pounds. What a wonderful thing to see. I know that right now it’s probably just water weight and the weight loss will slow soon, but it still feels good to see the scale going down. Now I have only 26 pounds to go.

I’ve lost another pound! Yay! Now I’m at 147 pounds, and I have 27 left to lose before I reach my goal. Finally, results!
