30!

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been holding steady at 202, and more than a little bit frustrated. I know, I know, losing weight takes time and effort and we don’t see progress in every week. But I was so ready to break that 30 pound barrier it was killing me. So today before my morning run I hopped on the scale to see, just maybe, if I’d lost any weight since last Friday. Well, well, what did I see? 201!

Finally! I’ve lost a total of 30.5 since July 20. I feel awesome, and not ready to stop! Next stop: 40 pounds.

July 20: 231.5
Last week: 202
Today: 201

I’ve lost enough weight to fit once again in my 1983 Members ONly Jacket! NO! I don’t plan on wearing it in public!

    So funny. I saw the Members Only jacket and I thought “What?” Good to know it's not going to be in your normal wardrobe rotation.

    Congrats on the weightloss.
