I'm no longer obese!

I set a tough goal 7 weeks ago that I wanted to get down to 180 pounds by my hubby's and my 10 anniversary. That meant I had to lose 2 pounds per week! I was gutted at the first week and gained 1 pound! I thought it was over but I kept going! That pound must have been water wait because it was off the next week by 4.6 pounds! Game was back on.

I didn't cut any calories but I just exercised harder and longer. It paid off! Last week, I weighed 181.4 so I knew I could reach my goal...but then I looked at my bmi and saw I just needed to get to 178.5 to get out of the obese class and into the overweight class. It was only 2.9 pounds and I would still have 2 weeks to do that!

I never imagined that I would have weighed in at 178.4 this morn and its that Tom! I'm so happy, so overjoyed, so blessed! I feel like a new person, I feel so much more confident! It's amazing. I only have 53 more pounds to get to my main goal but my next mini goal is to get to 158 by the end of July. That will make me 100 pounds less than I was at bible week last year!

And thank you for all the support along the way!

    Mini goals have been so much more manageable for me. Sometimes, they come at the same time like this one and it's amazing!
