55.1 lbs

I woke up feeling a little under the weather today, but I have been noticing, this week especially since I ran some this weekend, how much better my cloths have been fitting. Especially the way my dresses have been hanging nicely around my much smaller mid-section.

So, I decided to pull out my old Weight Watchers book to look at my "original" starting weight from 2007 and compare it to where I am since my last weigh-in on 4/5/10. And, I was so happy to see that since then I have lost 55.1 lbs!! I have lost a total of 23.2 of the "second" starting weight, which is almost half the weight I had put back on since the "original" weight loss.

Confused yet??

The point is...I am so happy to see that number above 50. I remember the first time I was losing, when I could say I had lost 50 lbs. that was a huge accomplishment! And, when I hit 75 lbs. I was in shock! Then, to say to someone that I had once lost 86 lbs was like a dream come true!! I had set my "original" goal of 100 lbs. and still haven't gotten to that one yet, but I know it's coming. To reach that goal, I have to lose another 45 lbs. But, I know I can do it. And, the closer I get, the more I remember those old feelings of excitement.

Weight loss has and ALWAYS will be a struggle for me. But, I am going to push myself this time farther than I have ever gone before. I want to reach that goal of 100, and who knows after that? I see it, I taste it, and I am so ready to finally achieve it!!!!
