Weigh To Go! Part 10

December’s Starting Weight: 178.9 Last Month’s Weigh-In: 137.4 Today’s Weigh-In: 134.8 That’s 2.6 pounds lost for the month of October and a total of 44.1 gone since December. I figure that 2.6 pounds is not too bad of a loss considering the case of the blahs I’ve had the last few weeks. And I’m especially excited that this puts me at less than 10 pounds left to go! I had originally set 125 pounds as my goal; I chose it because this is what WW had set as my goal a few years ago and I think that somewhere in the back of my mind I couldn’t imagine getting down that low so it seemed as good a number as any! Now it seems weird to be so close (weird but also exciting!) and I hope that being this close will give me the much needed motivation that I’ve been lacking lately. I just keep remembering when I was thirty-something pounds away from goal and it felt like I would never get to the 134 that I am right now, let alone 125. There have been so many times along the way that I thought that this was an impossible thing to do and I felt like giving up. But now I’m so close and I’m going to push myself. I started this weight loss journey almost a year ago in December. I’d like to see myself at goal by the end of this year. I think I can take off nine more pounds before the end of 2006 and if anything, knowing I’m so close and going for this last nine may be what I need to face the holiday madness that is quickly approaching!
