155.

Happy Happy Joy Joy! More to come later :)

158!

I have FINALLY....FINALLLYYYYY gotten out of the 60s and into the 50s!! I go back to school in about two and half weeks and my goal is to shed 8 pounds by then so I can reach 150. Yes I know that sounds like a lot of weigh in a lot of time buuuut I am on this Suzanne Somers diet with my family. The last week we have all been following this get skinny on fabulous food diet and I lost 4 pounds! This diet is HARD! I mean there are SOOO many things I miss but when I think of all the things I have to gain it makes it that much easier. This is like a two week thing and then you go into phase 2. Well instead of phase 2 I'm going to create my own phase -- which will consist of cutting back, moderation, stopping when full, and portion control. That way I can eat the things I ADORE like burgers, fries, pizza, and ice cream while maintaining my weight loss. I KNOW I can do this. I've turned down SOOO many treats this week. There were TWO dessert parties at work this week, we had sushi at the office (I can't eat white rice) and I've been out to dinner/lunch 3 times in the last week but through everything I've managed to stay true even though I have done my fair share of complaining....my family has noted this. But seeing that scale change from 162 to 158 in about a week has totally put me in a different state of mind. I mean trust I'm gonna get downnnnnn the first minute this thing is over.....FOR that meal but then after that I'm gonna keep my composure. I mean I don't have to keep eating this strictly because I don't need to lose more weight after the two weeks of phase one. For me I like to lose 8 to 10 pounds and then work on maintaing that for a period of time, stabilizing myself and my eating and then I like to lose the next 8 to 10 pounds. SOOOO happppppy....floating on AIIIIR! I hope to weigh in next week with some even MORE exciting news. I know this is short but I just wanted to keep you updated!!
