2.2 lbs!

I'm so excited! I lost 2.2 lbs this week. If only every week could be so wonderful. I've been losing an average of about half a pound a week. That's good, but frustrating when you are trying to lose another 20+ pounds. I love to get my hair cut. So to motivate myself a little I decided that I couldn't get my hair done until I lost 15 of those 20 pounds. I have to get within 5 pounds of my goal weight. When you are only losing half a pound a week, that will take about 30 weeks to lose 15 pounds. That's a long time. So a week like this week (losing 2 lbs) is reassuring. I can do this!

Congrats! I know what you mean though. It doesn't come off as fast as you like. And when I excercise, I want to look skinnier right now! But I am excited for you! You look great already! Love your guts!

Yeah for you and congrats... I just keep remembering it took me 9 months to put on the weight so a few months to get it off is ok. You'll get there. Your doing great! :)

I read this as I'm eating doritos and jelly beans.. Man, I always promise myself Im' going to eat SO good after the baby comes.. and then it takes months after months for the weight to come off. Why does it have to go so slow?
