Weekly Weigh In

Today I went to my weekly WW meeting. I lost 3 pounds this past week! Woo hoo! I am now up to 44.4 pounds lost! I'm so excited!

I honestly can't wait for the cooler weather to get here. Just over 4 years ago, I worked briefly as an assistant manager in a clothing store. During the time that I worked there I lost 50 pounds. Because I lost so much weight, I had to buy new clothes. Over the last 4 years, that 50 pounds had come back, along with some friends. Those new clothes stopped fitting. So they were tossed to the side. Now I'm bringing them back out. I have a ton of long-sleeved and 3/4-length sleeve tops. I can't wait to wear them again! It will be like having a whole new wardrobe! I may need to go buy some new pants though, since I spent more money on tops than pants back then. I do have some pants that will work... a few pairs of jeans that I'm back into, and a few other pairs of pants that might work. I really don't want to go buy much though. Although my end goal is about 135, I had decided on a smaller goal of losing 25 pounds by Christmas. I have already lost 5.6 pounds towards that goal. If I succeed, I will be just under 200 pounds by Christmas. I know I can do it! I had set my goal a little on the low side because my birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and my daughter's birthday are all coming up before Christmas. So I knew I had to be realistic. I honestly don't have a clue what size I will be by Christmas. I haven't been under 200 pounds in 15 years. All I want for Christmas is gift cards so that I can go buy new clothes.
