Thank You
Thanks to everyone who has commented, taken the time to read, and to all my buddies. This site has been a saver for me. I haven’t done this well in a long time. I’m so excited to see the scales go down again. I’m ready to lose the 25 pounds that I gained back and then the rest of my weight.
We have to remember to take things one day at a time. I know sometimes we tend to look at the big picture and it’s very overwhelming. I can’t think about the 120 pounds I need to lose. I have to think about the first 30. I want to be 225 by my birthday in March which averages to less then 2 pounds per week. I’m looking forward fitting into my size 18 jeans that are in my closet. When I was doing good at the beginning of the summer, I bought the next two sizes down. I also get rid of the bigger jeans. I got lucky with the weight gain and didn’t change jean sizes so my body shifted where it put the weight on. I started out in a tight 24 and am now wearing 20’s even after gaining most back.
I’m so excited to be losing again. I’ll update my ticker tomorrow. Friday’s are my official weigh in.

Yeah good for you!! Going down sizes feels so good! I am rooting for you! I’ll be checking tomorrow to see how much you have lost!

You seem to have such realistic goals and a great mindset! You should be very proud of yourself for that. Taking things one day at a time is a GREAT way to look at this dieting stuff. I need to incorporate that into my diet mentality.
Go You!
