    Starting weight: 201 (March 2017)
    Weight on Halloween: 188.6

    April Fools is on a Sunday next year. I will be posting my weight on Saturdays. I'll start with this past Saturday and I aim to be in the mid 170's by April 1st!

    Oct. 28: 187.4
    Nov. 4: 187.6
    Nov. 11: 188.8 Wrong direction!!! But at least it's still in the 80's
    Nov. 18: 189.6 So I'm REALLY upset with myself. And I thought absout lying and saying that I couldn't weigh today. But weight loss is not linear and I know I'll look back on this eventually and be totally over it because I'll have lost weight. The scale flashed 190.2 before changing its mind and I was really upset. I need to SMARTEN UP. This time next week the number gonna be different. Promise.
    Nov. 25: 189.2 This past week is did better. I even saw 188.4 before yucky TOM hit and made me feel all bloated and nasty. At least this is still technically an improvement on last week. I'm feel more in control now which is good. The closer Christmas gets the more I realize that my mini goal of 184 is not realistic. So I've changed it to 187.0. Maybe I'll be able to see 186.0 by New Years Day?
    Dec. 2: 192.2
    Dec. 9: Sick with Flu. Didn't weigh.

    My clothes are fitting better though my weight loss numbers have lagged a little bit and have been kind of bouncing around this 186.5-188 range.

    Dec 10: 190.8 I've been working really hard to be strict on days where I don't have parties this month. It's paid off, though some days I feel like I want to eat my arm off.

I am still here too, struggling, but here! I don’t think I’ll reach my goal in 8 weeks but I know I can get on the right track by then.
