My weigh ins are Tuesdays... just wanted to report that since 3/31/06, I have now officially lost over 50 lbs.!!!! I am still plugging away at Weight Watchers, still mostly vegetarian, and still manage to get some exercise on a fairly regular basis, though now that the weather is getting better, there are far more opportunities. My biggest goal for losing weight was to be able to dive comfortably in colder water (i.e. Lake Michigan) without fear of embarrassment about not being able to find a big enough wetsuit to rent, or else trying to stuff 5'7"/260# into a very thick wetsuit that was built for a man who is 6'5"/180#... Yes, I could have had one custom made, but why not take the healthy option and make my body not only healthier, but more within findable wetsuit sizing.
So...I am within 5 lbs of being halfway to my goal. I refuse to give up. It's taking longer than I had hoped, but that is because I am changing habits slowly, but the important thing is that I AM changing my habits.
So for all of you who have a goal that seems overwhelming, just bite off a little at a time, don't do it alone...and most importantly, don't give up on yourself!!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!
