2 month mark: 8.1 lost, 21.9 to go!

The title of this post should be "ok, so... WHATEVER" instead of a normal boring weigh-in number. NO, I did not meet my 2-month goal. I've lost 8 lbs in two months instead of losing 10 lbs. WHATEVER! I am a little disappointed, but at the same time I am really proud of myself. Losing 8 lbs isn't something to be ashamed of. It's EIGHT POUNDS! That's more weight than I've lost in 5 years! So, I am very happy with it.

This is what my weight loss chart looks like on Weight Watcher's website:

I love the line that goes down and down and down. That is what is most important. I am consistently losing weight. And I am very close to my first goal. Fun! AND I have lost two inches in my waist and one inch in my hips! My measurements have not changed in the other areas... I guess those will change as I lose more. I have totally noticed the difference in my waist as I am now wearing a belt I bought a couple of years ago that was too small. When I first put it on a few weeks ago I was using the first notch. Now it is on the second notch. That's a fun indicator!

This is what my personal chart looks like:

I have to give myself a break because of certain events and holidays, but I also have to jump right back in. I have NOT been as good as I could be! I only exercised three times this last week, and I wasn't so great with tracking. And I had a MAJOR nachos meltdown TWICE on Wednesday. Yikes! I have the rest of January, all of February and the first week of March to get down to business. I can work really hard and get it done. And then on March 7th at my four month mark, I am taking off for Girls Weekend in San Diego. Do you think I will have lost 20 pounds by then? I can't even imagine! If I'm not at 20, I know I will be close. Here's to some hard work ahead of me. I am doing it!!!
