Now under 100lbs to lose!

Hi Ladies :)

I still work mostly in kg, but while I was running(!) at the gym last night I realised that I now have under 100lbs left to lose. Yay me!

SW (November 11 2011): 149.2kg/329lbs
SW (January 3 2013): 133.3kg/294lbs
CW: 115.7kg/255lbs
GW: 72kg/159lbs
Left until goal: 43.7kg/96lbs
Total lost: 33.5kg/74lbs
Lost this year: 17.6kg/39lbs

I love how the numbers are adding up! I'm 5' 7" and 72kg is at the top end of my healthy weight range. I'm going to get there, and then see if I want to lose more. My goal for this year is to lose 40kg/88lbs. I (re)started a week before my birthday in January this year, so by my 35th birthday in January 2014 my aim is to be 93kg/205lbs or less. My next mini goal is 110kg/242lbs, that will put me right around the weight I was when I got married nearly 11 years ago, and I don't think I've seen that weight since then! Finally, the final goal just doesn't seem so far away as it was when I started. I'm nearly halfway there, and it's hard to imagine I'm going to feel any better than this when I hit goal, but oh, the clothes I shall buy!

Hope you all have a lovely day/night, whatever it is in your part of the world. And may the scales bless you all with beautiful numbers at your next weigh in :)

    Good for you. I think your goals are definitely realistic - in fact, we have very similar goals. I'm also 5 7 and I guess my goal is around the same as yours and once I get there I can re-evaluate.

    My mini goal is to hit 250. I think it's great to have some mini goals thrown in the mix to give us something to strive for.

    Good luck to you on this journey. You seem quite determined to reach them!

    Lol, yes I'm determined! Got to be able to outrun at least the first wave of the zombie apocalypse everyone says is coming...

    Thanks ladies. :)
