Week 9 of the Challenge

I met my goal!   Although I haven't listed my weekly weigh in the last couple weeks, I have met my goal of losing 20 pounds in these 9 weeks by 10 pounds.  I have lost 30 pounds.   While I am glad to have lost the 30 pounds, I realize that I do not want to lose weight too fast and need to be sure to lose slowly. 

I went back for my doctor visit and my blood pressure and blood sugar checked out well.  He would like me to continue to eat healthy and try to lose 4 - 5 pounds a month.  I would like to try for a little more than that, but maybe not more than that.  

I havent set a goal yet for myself , but I am thinking I need to work on an a physical goal-- exercise --ugh.    I need a few days to think about it.  Any ideas?

Week 6 - 7 Weigh In

weight loss this 2 weeks  - 4
total weight loss this challenge week 7 / 9  - 19

Last Friday I actually had gained a pound.  But by Saturday the pound and another had dropped off.  That just goes to show that weight fluctuates by the day.  It is better to weight by the week or better yet go by the way you feel or the way your clothes fit than by what the scale says. 

The two week weigh in was actually closer to 4 and a half pounds, but whose counting....me!   ;) 
More people have said things to me about losing weight.  Nothing dramatic--just a subtle noticing.  That is nice.  I still really don't feel any different, but I have noticed a little difference in the car with the seatbelt.

The challenge is over in another two weeks.  I am nearly at the goal I set.  I hope to keep it up!
