I am SO fucking hungry. 14 points for the day so far, 12 to go. This first week is going to suck.
See, when I lost that 25 pounds last summer, that was just to get to what I felt was a reasonable goal. I'd like to drop about 20 more to get to my college freshman weight, if it makes sense. I may figure out on the way that would be too skinny for me, and if that's the case, I'll stop and level out. When I look at the pics from that period of time, I was a bit on the skinny side, so we'll see.
I fully expect that I'll drop three, maybe four pounds this week, and then continue on at a pace of one to one and a half thereafter. I guess it depends on how my body is going to react now that I'm in a lower weight range to begin with. It's hard to say, because my waist is down to 34" now, and it doesn't have much room to go lower around the bones. The remaining weight looks mostly like it's my gut, and to a lesser degree in my thighs. That's why I'm being cautious in terms of my goal and what makes sense for my body.
While we're on the subject...
I just weighted myself and I'm in the 230s. The 2-freaking 30s. I can't remember when I was last there. I went from 212 one day to 292.
I went shopping this weekend and found that I went down 2 pants sizes to 36. I think Candy was getting jealous of the sexyness known as fra-eeezz.
I can see my belt buckle. Awesome
Am I correct to say that you're doing Weight Watchers?
So am I. I am doing very well, lost 20 lbs in 3.5 weeks; I have about 230 lbs to loose... :) It has been a rough adjustment - no - lifestyle change... but this is something that I can maintain. I like the fact that I can eat just about anything, within moderation, and take the points for it.
If you would like some lower-point WW recipies, please email me at jmdicke@woh.rr.com and I can give you some of what I have.
Good luck with loosing that other 20 lbs.
