November results, December goal

Today's weight: 268.8

I'm pleased to report that as of November 30th, I weighed in at 270 lbs!!! That's 20 pounds total loss in 2 months! Although it seemed slow during that time, I really think a 20 pound loss is very nice for 2 months. That averages out to about 2 pounds per week, which is good, I think. Although I would love the weight to melt off in record time, I realize that TRUE, permanent weight loss must come more slowly to be effective. The changes made to my diet have been life-long changes in my diet, not some quick weight loss plan that I immediately go off of after reaching goal and gain the weight back. (been there, SO DONE THAT!)

While October had a total loss of 12 lbs, November was a tad slower at 8 lbs. Still respectable, however, and I'm pleased with the results.

My goal for this coming month is of course to lose more weight! But more specifically, I'm going to try to reach for an 11 pound loss.

Why 11 pounds you ask?? Why dear reader, I would be happy to tell you. An 11 pound loss will get me to the magical weight of 259.

259 may not SEEM magical. However, back in January of 2006, it was my 259 pound self that stared down the double line on an EPT test and while excited and it's meaning...fully realized that weight loss was NOT in my immediate future.

So yes, I would love to make it back to my pre-Alexander weight this month.

I would also love to make it back to size 18. Soooooo would love that! I am close enough, I think I could do it!

I might have to lay on the bed to zip the zipper though!
