I was hoping for at least a 2 lb loss this week, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw a 3.2 lb loss! Yep, I weighed in this morning at 219.8 lbs which means that I’ve lost 36.2 pounds since 9/28!
This loss signifies a few different things for me. First it means that I’ve passed the 35 lb milestone! While this isn’t one of my ‘official’ milestones that I have listed in my sidebar, it’s still notable for me because it’s the most I’ve ever lost before in any of my past “diets”. Ever! It also means that I’m out of the 220’s and now in the two-teens! I can hardly believe it. I’m now closer to being under 200 than I am the weight I started at, 256. This loss also means that I am right on target to reach my goal to be under 200 by the end of the 911 Fitness Challenge I joined. I have 19.8 lbs left to lose over the next 9 weeks in order to reach that goal. Totally reachable! Wanna know something else? My BMI is now 38.9 – under the 40 mark! When I started this journey four months ago my BMI was 44.1. So I’m down 5.2 points in that regard. One more number before I go – 14%. That’s the percentage of weight I’ve lost over the past 126 days.
These results make all the work I’ve been putting in recently SO worth it. I feel this merits repeating, if you’re reading this and doubt whether or not you can lose weight, please, please know that you CAN do this. I doubted it for many years too until one day I just made the decision to change my life and so can you. Feel free to a email me if you have any questions; I will help any way I can.
