So today I reached my most fun weight loss goal: I now weigh less then my husband! I know this would seem silly to some, but to me it has been depressing to weigh more then my husband. I know, we are both around the same height, and he doesn't have breasts like I do, so realistically you would think that I should weigh more. But he is a guy, and traditionally he should weigh more. Also, when we married, he did weigh more.
I was surprised at my WW meeting today when I lost over 6 lbs this past week. Not really sure what I did to have such a big weight loss, but I will take it. So now over the past 16 weeks (hard to believe I have been on this journey for 16 weeks) I have lost 34.6 lbs. So that is an average of 2.16 lbs a week. I am very happy with that.
So my next goal? I should reach it in the next few weeks. It will be 10% of my starting body weight. So that will be at 37 lbs down, just 2.4 lbs away. So yes, if you just did the math, I was 370 lbs when I started. Actually, it was a little more, and I lost over 5 lbs before starting WW, but for tracking purposes, we are comparing to my starting date.
So after my 10%, my next personal goal is to be down to 300 lbs by our trip next May. That will only be 34 lbs in the next 9 months, so I really hope to be an over achiever, and be down much more then that. But to reach this goal, it would be around 4 lbs a month. Totally doable. I also need to add in exercise. I keep telling myself that when Emma starts back up to pre-school, I will start walking during class time (when I am not teaching). That worked well this past spring, however I did have someone to walk with then who also had a child in the same class. That is not the case this time. I really need to find a walking buddy come next month.
