I officially reached a new loss level today - that's 55 pounds, baby!
I haven't been this weight since the mid 1990s. As this last few pounds came off I've noticed a difference in my face that makes me happy when I look in the mirror. That last extra chin is practically gone!
Technically I did get down 10 pounds lower than this - to 207 - while I was pregnant. But I think it doesn't count when weight loss is due to possession by an alien pod person who makes you puke your way down the scale.
All in all, I'm a happy camper. I got past the endlessly frustrating plateau that was spring 2009 and calmly accepted I won't be making it down to 190 this year. But if I keep working at this very manageable pace I could still see 210, or maybe even 205.
I know that's ridiculously slow to some, but between work and Baby Bear and life in general it's what I can manage right now. It's still progress. The numbers on the scale - and in my closet - are still getting smaller. And my paces on the workouts I can squeeze in are still getting bigger.
I'm the tortoise, not the hare. And that's all kinds of fine with me.

Yay! I almost said yay for nazi's but that would have been all kinds of wrong.

WOOHOOOO!!!! This is awesome! And who cares how long it takes - good changes take time!
Congratulations!
Those who have not been there tend to have less than a full appreciation for such a major accomplishment and all the effort that goes into making it happen.
But for us - we know!
Sounds as though yoou're doing it in a realistic and sustainable way - go you! Yay!
WAHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!! I'm doing a happy dance for you. Congrats. And it's ok it's taking a while. I think that makes it easier to keep off in the long run. I"m really proud of you.
WOOOWOOO I am sooo excited for you! That is awesome!! Keep up the great work! I add a ticker at the bottom of my blog, you should make one too!
Congratulations, that's an awesome accomplishment! By the law of conservation of mass, that weight went somewhere- and I think I've picked it up for you. I don't want to give it back, but I'm trying to pass it along to someone else. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations!
So much of life seems to be about trajectory....
