Last week: 162.2
This week: 159.0
Well hello beautiful people and welcome to my wall of text. I'm just really excited. The scale keeps moving, it's almost spring break, and my dogs are adorable. Definitely makes for a decent Tuesday. I hope you guys are having a good week so far!
So I have a question, and it is definitely for the crazy side of my brain. Logically, I know it makes sense, but I have to ask. The last 20lbs would surely make a bigger difference than the first 20lbs, right? I'm feeling decent about where I'm at, but with only 24lbs left until my goal weight (which is pretty low honestly), I still have a bit too much stomach for my liking.
On the bright side, I'm officially 36lbs down as of this morning so that's cool!
Ok I'm done. Good luck this week everyone!6 -

@eatingfoodles, a very sincere congratulations on losing three pounds this week and bringing your total lost to 36 pounds!! And out of the 60's...whoo hoo!!! I don't actually understand your question. Do you mean that the last twenty will make more of a difference in the stomach area than the first twenty? And to answer that, I would say that it is an individual thing. Everyone knows you can't spot reduce fat, but it seems to leave some areas of a person sooner than other areas. And being female, a completely flat stomach is a hard ask. Not impossible, but still, be prepared to accept a little stomach in the end and be okay with it.1 -

@HASWLRS I just mean there should (hopefully) be a more noticeable difference overall as I get closer to the goal. So the difference between 159 and 139 should be more obvious than the difference between 195 and 175.
I know I won't have a totally flat stomach. I have organs to make room for
I just want less of a bulging belly (and less jiggle!) 2 -
Hi, all. Took some family time away from here Sunday and Monday, so now I am going to get caught up. Bear with me.
I understand you are still getting caught back up with all the messages.
Just making sure you seen my question about my username changing from womanofgod4893 to Bradleys8299. Wanted to make sure that won't be a problem.2 -

@Tracie_Lord, it must have been such a great feeling to absolutely kill a workout that you didn't start out even wanting to do!! I am loving your new profile picture....the before and after is astonishing, and a great motivator for you, I am sure, to see how far you've come every time you log onto MFP!!
Thank you and that's exactly why I did it! I need every bit of self motivation I can grab at the minute to keep this effort going hahaha
You guys on here sure help and for that I am so grateful 3 -

Weigh-in (weighed yesterday but didn’t get chance to post - softball season is killing me )
PW: 221.0 lbs
CW: 220.6 lbs
Didn’t expect much this week after the big loss last week so pleased with the result. I’ve decided as long as it’s going down I don’t really care the amount. I think I’ve been putting too much pressure on myself to have big losses so when I don’t see big changes I tend to give up at the end of the week (weekends are a killer).
Looking forward to a good week and continuing to see the downward trend.7 -

Yay! I am so excited for you for moving into the overweight category. I'm about 10 lbs from that yet.
