Lost 2# this week so I adjusted my goal to lose another 5 (seriously never would have thought that was a potential goal) I'm 5'7 my goal was 150 I am 151 so my new goal is 145
50s might just be fabulous!
nsv not one pair of shorts fits me today !! finally some inches lost as well as weight

My view when I bike ride at the end of my street. I always stop and reflect

@Ketch_22 Way to go!! Your path sounds exactly like mine was. When I started (at 182) I was delighted to think of 150-155 as goal. When I got there, everything was going smoothly and I felt good, so I changed it to 145. Then to 140 and ultimately to 135. Finally set maintenance at 130-135. Never in my wildest imagination did I think that would be my maintenance range when I started. It is still amazing to me how good I feel and how 'routine' this way of living has become.

Warning - you are in danger of finding yourself quite poor if you continue dropping your weight goal. It gets really expensive when you need to start replacing your entire wardrobe because NOTHING (from shoes to undies to outerwear) fits ... especially if you live someplace with true four seasons. On top of that, I found that for the first time in forever I actually enjoyed buying clothes for myself. I've gone from needing a support group for weight loss to needing to check out 'overspenders anonymous'!

Tracked yes
Under yes
Exercise yes

Way to go @Ketch_22 So very proud of your progress! As @jan110144 stated...clothing updates as you "downsize" are necessary; and the smaller sizes just make you feel good about yourself. I opted for purchasing clothes at thrift shops as my weight dropped (and donating my old ones at the same time) which made the changes very affordable. Getting rid of the larger sized ones was my insurance policy for "never upsizing, again!" I actually prefer thrift store shopping now as I can change my wardrobe more frequently with minimal expense.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 1 hour walk in the village this morning...and another 20 minutes this evening.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, on target.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, sure thing!

@Ketch_22 and @jan110144 very inspiring!

Yes x 3 for me. Exercise was stationary bike (30 min) and weights at home (20 min). Had to dip into my exercise calories again today.

As to R&R, I took my dear sweet father (turns 85 this year) out to lunch, and then together we visited my sister at a Peony Festival.

@ketch22, what a beautiful view! That's an amazing sight so close to your house. Awesome SV and NSVs!

@jan110144, I found the same thing when I first got to what I thought was goal weight. Turned out I could be healthily smaller than I ever imagined! Like @W8goal4life, I tend to mostly shop thrift during weight loss, try to donate my own larger clothes as I go--but then I do still spend more money when I get to that lower bracket, and I definitely find shopping more enjoyable when I'm happier with how I look/feel. Getting ready for my vacation at the end of the month has been a bit more expensive than I anticipated, lol.

@goldthistime, that sounds like an awesome afternoon with your family!

@ForAmanda222, so glad the set meals are working for you.

Had a great private yoga class with the bride-to-be and 4 friends this morning, and then we had an amazing lunch and spent almost two hours in the hot tub chatting (and periodically climbing out to sit on the edge so we didn't overheat or turn into complete raisins). Weather was uncertain, and there was a lot of rain overnight and this morning, so we didn't end up doing any hiking, but it was a lovely, relaxing day. (And the rain held off the whole time we were there; it was literally as we were heading to the parking lot that it started up again. Can't complain about that when the original forecast was 90% rain every hour of the day.) Very glad to have had the chance to spend the time together. ^_^

Yes x 3

Yes x 3 for yesterday and today
