    The time has come ~ 50 pounds down!!!

    Well, folks, it happened today ~ i stepped on the scale and voila, 50 pounds down!

    I am officially there, officially super excited, & officially starting on my next mini goal, 215. This is the weight i was at when i found out i was preggers with little miss Luna, and then ended up gaining 85 pounds partially thanks to Taco Bell & Taco Time visits.

    SOOOOOOOO... there it is. Now i have to get my hubby to take my pictures in the same starting weight outfit for comparisons, and then i am burning those fat pants!!! Okay, really, i am going to give them to charity... but the burning thing sounded pretty dramatic, didn't it?!

    Thanks to all of you for keeping me in check & cheered up this past week ~ it was tough there at times! The STAC club rocks!!!!

      Congrats on making your first goal! It is those achievements that always spurred me on with greater confidence that more was possible and inevitable. Good job!

        Congrats.... you are doing great!! Oh, don't burn those pants. Keep just one pair to look back and see how far you've come. I have the shirt that I wore the night I weighed in at my highest and I'm going to try it on again when I hit the 50 pound mark.

        Keep up the fantastic work!

              My next mini goal is 215, because i weighed that when i found out i was pregnant the last time i did Atkins. So that is the lowest i have been in a several years. Then, of course, onederland!!! Most of my goals are psychological memory goals after that... And i'll just take it one step at a time. It is much easier for me to break it up into smaller pieces, since i still have so much to lose. It is frustrating to think that i have lost 50 pounds, but i still look so fat!!! But at least it is better than when i started...

              My birthday is in January, so that is a good time to set some goals. I would love to be at onederland by then... So that is another 30 pounds by then. It can be done, but i'll have to continue working hard.

              I've been working out 5-6 days a week, and i'll continue doing that. I am trying to be very conscious of eating veggies at every meal, and that is sometimes hard for me to do. But i know it is important for me. I am going to try to go back to weighing in only once a week & not stressing over the scale. It got kind of hairy there with my emotions tied into reaching this goal, and i don't want to stress myself out everytime the scale stops for awhile. It is okay... i'll get there when i get there, right?

                      WOO HOOO!!! CONGRATS JENNA!!!!!

                      By the way, I think the burning of the fat pants sounds like much more fun. I know its great to give to charity, but those pants hold meaning - BURN THEM, lol.

                            As for the icon from the gallery ~ i didn't even know i could do that! Cool, i get to pick out a little picture? Sweet... where do i go?
