Okay ladies...some of you know I don't own a scale and have been measuring my success with finess levels and measuring tape.

Well this past week I was visiting my folks and they have one of those dreaded beasts with the evil wheel of whirling numbers. But for the first time in ages I was excited about stepping on because I knew it would be less than the last time I made that fated step.

So, wearing ALL my clothes I eased myself up on the scale one foot at a time and watched the numbers swing back and forth and back and forth. Just as the whirling was slowing down I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, gathered my thoughts, exhaled then looked down.

I did it! I'm down at least 25 lbs from July (the last time I weighted myself was April of last year and that was when I was teatering at 238 but I know I gained more weight between then and July.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Okay, my next goal is to keep going with what I'm doing and then weigh myself again in the spring with 25 to 30 lbs more gone.

I will be under 200 pounds before I turn 34. There I said it, now I have to stick with it.

Cheers

Way to go!!!! I want to be at or under 275 come Christmas. It is a very high goal...20 lbs +/- in two months. Well if I don't make it I will soon enough.
