And a third of the way through!! I'm two months in to my 6 month weight loss program, and I'm down a third of my weight!!! This has been an ecstatic day for me. I was a little worried that I hadn't had a BM all weekend (I have to keep track of this now...) and that would cause me to not reach my goal by today, but the apple for breakfast this morning helped. I went in about the same time that I went last Thursday to weigh, when we set the goal, and today I had lost 6 pounds since then!! 

I'm at my lowest weight that I can remember since spring, and I feel great! I told Stan at S4L that I was hoping to reach my goal for the week, then I could relax until after the holidays and really hit it hard in January, but I'm too excited right now to think about going off plan. I want to keep going. This is the absolute worst time for me to stop: when I have so much inertia and am excited to keep going. I'm trying to figure out how to get through Christmas and all the fun gatherings we have planned and not ruin my hard work, but I also know that if I do stop losing it's just for a short time. As long as I don't go back up to 260, I'll be thrilled. As the following quote states, I never want it back:

I don't really have much else to say tonight, except that it feels SO good to know that I've made it to my first big milestone. I just have to take it one day, nay, one meal, one choice at a time. In order to reach any goal, you must take the first step, as I mentioned yesterday. Make the decision, and take action. I'm taking action.

Day: 56 Weight: 257!! Size: 16 Pounds to Goal: 42 Inches Lost: 10 1/2

They are getting closer to even!!
