I don't even know the last time I weighed that, probably high school.

    Successes/struggles this week: Not a great week to be on a diet. I had three celebration dinners for my birthday this week! Family, friend and hubby...I love them all dearly and would not change a thing. Didn't get to exercise much on these days either (besides a quick, non-strenuous walk with my pup). Will try to step it up for the rest of the month to see if I accomplish my goal. Impressed with other peoples' results and a bit jealous too! :)

    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.2
    Successes/struggles this week: A really good week. Had Dr. appt. (all getting better and better in my medical conditions) and looked up what my original weight was because I knew I had lost quite a few pounds. I thought it was about 160 pounds when I started this journey (this was about 2 years ago). Well, I got a VERY interesting and happy bit of news (at least happy now LOL). I had actually started at 174 pounds! So, as of May 13, 2015 I have lost 54.2 pounds and have only 4.8 pounds to lose and start maintenance. Am I proud and yelling it to the top of my lungs? Hell yeah!!!

    Now, as of today, I had Chinese food at the Little Dumpling (maybe 2 times a year but I so love it). I KNOW the scale will be awful in the morning because of the SALT. DAMN SALT!! LOL. But, it's okay. The 1 or 2 pounds that will show up were well worth the gain since it will be gone in a day or two!

    Have a great week all ya'll and I'll see you next week.

    Okay, I'm in. Better late than never. I just found this last night. I've been looking for a way to motivate myself, and accountability generally seems to be the key for me. So I'm starting now, before I have a chance to talk myself out of it! ;-)
