Two and half years ago I got serious about losing weight. I yo yo'd with weight loss and gain for most of my adult life. I weighted 262 pounds. I'm 5'3". In November 2018 I met my goal and lost 100 lbs. I have maintained my loss the past 6 month by tracking and continuing my exercising. I treated myself to a shopping spree…

Finally a loss this week of 1.3. That brings my total for this challenge to 10.9. Not bad considering all the obstacles that threatened to divert me. I am 5.7 lbs from my goal to be at 170 by Thanksgiving. I am turning up the heat over the next few weeks to get there. I feel a victory in my future!

No change this week which is actually pretty good since I was celebrating a bit too much over the weekend. Way too much wine and fattening appetizer type foods- mozzarella sticks, fried shrimp, cheesecake - yeah, you get the picture. Gonna pump it up this week and shoot for a big loss next week.

Good news: I'm back on track with losing and working out. Bad News: I am off for a week starting Friday at a wine festival and then a small vacation. I hope I can reel it in and not over do too much.
