lose this extra weight

It was on hold for a long time while I recovered from illness and surgery. But that hiatus, as hellacious as it was, moved me almost halfway to my goal weight.

So now I’m ready (and highly motivated, both because I can feel the difference in my energy level and because I’m getting into clothes that didn’t fit me last summer) to reopen the 10-pound mini-goal and make some more progress toward my goal weight.

Let the losing begin again!

...of losing 5 pounds.

So I just raised the bar a bit, and adopted “Lose 10 pounds” as my next mini-goal.

Am now 11 down, with a total of 79 more to lose.

I didn’t put it on overnight (though I did put on 50 pounds in a 6-month period over this past fall and winter), so I don’t expect to lose it overnight.

I’m already feeling a difference in my energy level – not surprisingly, considering that I’ve ceased to cart around the equivalent of an entire bowling ball (recommended bowling-ball weight for an adult female beginner: 10 to 14 pounds).

I mean, it’s definitely my ultimate goal. In my case, “this extra weight” = 90 pounds.

From reading other 43T entries, I note that there are more specific goals, and also that many folks are (quite sensibly) breaking this one into sub-goals of 5, 10, or 20 pounds at a time.

For now, I’ll keep this one on my list. But I’ve also added “Lose 5 pounds.” Two more to go for that one. And given that I’d already lost 5 pounds in the weeks immediately before I joined 43T, I’m actually almost at the 10-pound mark.

that I can now wear things I couldn’t even button (boy was I (more) overweight then)

I’ve almost lost 10% of my body weight since I’ve started! I’ve had to stop wearing some of the clothes I used to.

I’ve been in Canada for 8 months by now. I’m from Korea. I used to be 45 kilos(about 99lbs.) in Korea and I didn’t notice that what I was eating has changed dramatically when I first came in Canada. Of course I ate the same amount I used to eat then I gained weight a little bit a day. Now I’m so heavy. I got around 10 kilos more on me. I want to start losing 10 lbs first. My ideal weight would be 46-47 kilos because I want some muscles:D

I’ve lost 10 lbs from July 2005. And I’m 10 more lbs away from my goal! Sweetness :) or rather the lack thereof!

I got the extra kilos during pregnancy: my normal and ideal weight was around 45kilos: then, it went to almost 62kilos. Now I am in 53. I know I can but I am lazy…!

how come i can’t control my darn eating?!!! i’m 121 and want to be 111. just 10 little pounds

through the wrong reasons: 12,13-hour working days!!
