I started this journey 13 weeks ago today. I set a goal to lose 30 pounds, getting me to around the weight I was when I got married (will be 15 yrs in Nov.) and before having kids. A couple of weeks in, I decided I would love to lose 20 pounds by the time we celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday. She turned 10 on Monday and I surprised her with Taylor Swift tickets for a concert this Sunday night. I wanted to lose those 20 by the concert.
I weigh-in once a week, every Saturday morning and take measurements every two weeks. Last Saturday's weigh-in, I hit 19 pounds (losing 2.2 that week) and was really happy, but nervous for today's. It happened.....I came in at 21.2 pounds lost!!!! I am sooo excited! I can't believe I did it.
The bonuses are that according to the BMI calculator, I went from the overweight to the "healthy" catagory!! I have lost 13.23% body fat and dropped two jeans sizes!! I have more confidence than I have in years and years! I cannot wait to see what I feel like when I shed these next 10 pounds!!
I absolutely LOVE this website and all of the support and encouragement everyone gives! This is where I stay accountable everyday so thanks to all of you for being a part of my journey!
My stats if anyone wants to know.....
Height 5' 3"
SW 160.2
CW 139.0
GW 130 pounds, but will probably need to go lower. Will see when I get there!
