I just can not tell you all how happy I am this morning. I am down to 299.5 from 338 pounds. This is the lowest weight I've been at in such a long time. I'm so happy to be a citizen of TWOTERVILLE! I have told myself now that I never want to see a 3 as the first number of my weight EVER AGAIN. Let me give you guys a little back story so you can understand why this weight loss is so important to me.
April 2004 - I was in New York with my in laws for St. Patrick's day. I was struggling with depression, but no one knew. I was losing weight... down to about 261 from the 288 pounds I was at Christmas time. I had a baby June 2003, and was suffering from Post Partum Depression. By Mid-May when I went to the hospital for Depression My weight was 288 pounds again. My husband and I moved up to New York and I was surprised to get on the scale at the start of July and see the number 321. That didn't stop me, I kept on eating. During the fall I started Atkins. I got down to 306 before I stopped. Of course I gained it all back in the following months and when I got on a scale again in Feb. I was up to 338 pounds. Since then I went on Weight Watchers which helped me gain a bit more control over myself and get down to about 316, but just wasn't for me. I stopped "dieting" and thankfully didn't gain any weight during the next month. Then 2 weeks ago I decided I would jump back on the Atkins bandwagon. Since then I've felt better about myself, felt more in control of my eating, haven't felt like I was dieting, and now I'm at 299.5 pounds... finally out of the 300's. I feel like this >>
My next short term goal is 288 (my disney and hospital weight) 275 (how much I weighed when i got pregnant with my daughter) 261 (my low weight after pregnancy) 245 (weight when I got married June 2002) 225 (my lowest adult weight EVER... size 14) and downward until I reach 199 or size 12. Whichever comes first.
I also have mini-goals set at 10 pounds each. So, currently my next 10 is 296.
