In the right direction...

As of Friday, I was down another 2.2 pounds!  For a grand total so far of 14!  Can you believe that?  Do you know what weighs 14 pounds?  Let's see...

  • A large cat
  • A small dog
  • twins weighing 7 lbs each!
  • Three 5 lb bags of potatoes with a few potatoes taken out
  • A medium sized turkey for thanksgiving
  • A bowling ball!
  • A portable Kyack
  • A normal weight for a 3 month old!

And I'm sure the list could go on!  Wow!  Quite amazing.  I'm so happy.  I've also lost a clothing size.  Or at least a clothing size in some of the fahions I own.  It's amazing to see, I own clothing that is from sizes 24 down to 14 and everything in between.  But not all clothing is created equal.  Just because something says it's a size 20 doesn't mean that the other size 20 jeans is the same size.  I'm not sure why - other than quality of manuafacturer but I do know that there are some pants I don't fit into while there are others that fit perfectly.

So, last night was Halloween and I can say honestly that I have not had one piece of the kids or any other non Weight Watcher candy!  I guess it helps to know that yesterday I started not feeling well and then went to bed at 8PM with a fever.  I woke this morning still not 100% and then all day today I've been a little woozy.  I'm better now but not feeling like chocolate, which I guess helps my situation!

I'm wondering if I'm going to make 20 pounds by my birthday.  It's on the 16th and I'm thinking that I might not make it by the meeting before it but possibly by the meeting after it.  We'll see.  Something to aim for, I guess!

Yipee!!!! You are doing AMAZING! You are totally going to whiz right by me, which I am totally OK with because I know we each have our own speed. :-) I am so glad that this is working so well for you. So, I am wondering what your menu looks like. I was stuck in a rut and now I am sort of floundering. Down to -19.2 that 20 is coming soon!!
