Saturday Morning Weigh-In

Weight this morning: 122 lbs
Loss this week: 1.6 lbs

GOAL! :)

Thank goodness. The tiny little losses and not getting anywhere was wearing me out! I actually wanted to get to my goal by Wednesday Sept. 30th (my daughters birthday) but this is fine. Close enough!

Interesting fact: Tomorrow marks exactly six months since I started this journey...it was April 4th. If you'd have told me back then that it would take me six whole months to get to my goal, I'd have quit. I'd have thought I'd never keep it up that long, so why try. Seriously!

Just goes to show that we so often sell ourselves short. It's so easy to believe in and support others, so hard to have confidence in ourselves. Let's all repeat to ourselves: I CAN DO IT! I'M STRONGER THAN I THINK I AM. (You are)

So, the focus this week is on maintenance and toning. I've
finally upped my workouts again (and lost weight again...coincidence? Don't think so! Get those workouts in!!) so I really need to keep them up and of course continue to focus on healthy foods and snacks.

Thanks so much for walking with me and encouraging me on this journey. You guys are awesome!

  6. HI, I haven't read your blog before, but I am over here from JO's blog to say congratulations on making your goal....now that I see where you've come from I am going to read the rest, cause getting to 122 is an accomplishment. I am currently 218 and I want to know what to do when I get to 168. I have been doing this since May so I know what you mean about how long, but I figure I have been fat for years, getting skinny will take time, but what else have I got to do. Again, congratulations.

  15. Missy, that is so exciting and so awesome!! I can't even imagine how good that must feel. :) You really need to post a new picture though. You must be one super skinny momma now!! I still can't believe you are that light! Like I told you before, my daughter weighs (now) about ten pounds more than you and she's skinny! Amazing! Congratulations!!!!

  16. Congrats! This is what we all can do when we "pardner" with our God and let His Holy Spirit help us, whether it's weight or anything else we need assistance with.

    Way to go & glory to God!
