I am now within 10 pounds of my "goal". I put that in quotes because it isn't written in stone. I originally had a goal weight because that is what you are supposed to do, right? That is what most people do when they lose weight. When I looked on line for my ideal weight I found it was 117-143 lbs and I was like 😲 That's impossible. So, I settled on 175 as an initial goal. It is almost 100 lb weight loss and at this point I figure I'll see how I feel and go from there. I also had a huge goal of just getting healthier and being able to do more without getting winded, exhausted, or sore.
I have discovered, over the course of this journey, that it truly has been a lifestyle change. This is NOT a diet. It isn't like I'm going to get to 175 and go back to the way I ate before. What I was doing in the past was maintaining a weight close to 300 and I know if I go back to that I'll go right back to that weight. I'm kind of interested to see what this new way of life maintains. I'm not willing to cut out any more and I'll only increase my activity during the summer, when I have time. So, I figure I'll just keep living this new life and see how low I go, and how strong I get. Weight loss has defiantly slowed since I started but I'm still steady losing about a pound a week and I am happy with that.
I am so excited to be where I am and I'm really looking forward to being at 175, a hundred pound weight loss is a big deal! I am also really excited to see where this journey will take me and how far I can go.
