Pounds lost in week 19 : -2 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 20.6 pounds
Welcome back, weight loss buddies. I did not weigh in last week and unfortunately, vacation was not kind to me, however, it wasn’t totally horrible. I gained back the 2 pounds I lost 2 weeks ago. But, my 2 nights of Bruster’s ice cream were totally worth it. But, now it is back on track and back on the program.

Pounds lost in week 17 : 2 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 22.6 pounds
This week not only did I get a 5 pound star for going over 20 lbs (which technically I did last week but I didn’t stay for the meeting), but I also got a key chain for hitting my 10% target. Yes, folks, I am 10% lighter than I was 17 weeks ago. This was one of major goals to hit and but a mere step on the way to getting down to goal weight. If I can do 22.6, then I can do 56 more…..it might take me until this time next year, but that is my ultimate goal.

Pounds lost in week 15 : .2 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 17.4 pounds
My dear friend Beth will love to see that I do not have to curse her name. After her beautiful (and tasty food filled) wedding this weekend, I still managed to squeak out a .2 loss this week. That means I’m still in the hole for .6 pounds after my gain 2 weeks ago, but next week is gonna be my week!!! Kicking ass and losing weight!
Tonight, I also received my 16 week pin since today is officially the start of week 16. We all had a good laugh about how I’m going to be needing a few more of those 16 week pins before I hit a weight anywhere near my goal weight.

I love how you see ads for diet plans or diet pills and the people are like, “I lost 12 pounds and went down 2 dress sizes.” YEAH RIGHT! I say. I’ve now lost 22 pounds total and I’ve only moved down exactly 1 size. You know how I can officially tell I’ve lost enough weight to move down a size? My underwear is too big. Because my pants and underwear have been bagging and sagging for the past few weeks, I decided to head to the Avenue today to pick up a few in between pieces of clothing while I continue my diet journeys (and because they’ve had some great email coupons this week). I picked up some nice fall long sleeve tops, 2 pairs of shoes, some new underwear and a pair of jeans – all size 16 (some even 14/16). This made me very happy today. It helps me keep the faith that someday soon I WILL get back into my size 14s and maybe even my 12s.
