50 pounds!

I have lost 50 pounds!  Actually I am down 50.8.  Only 1.2 away from my 52 pounds in one year (52 weeks) goal!  I was so proud of myself that I cried at the scale.  I really did.  It was kind of ridiculous but I couldn't help it.  The leader actually asked me if I wanted a hug.  I said no.  More because I was embarrassed than because of not wanting one.  Especially since I am hugger.  I love giving and receiving hugs.  But I digress... I did it!  I made 50 pounds which means I am keeping my 1.5 pound average weight loss up and it means I am on my way.  Grinning from ear to ear!!!

Goals?

Last week I lost again!  I am feeling so good about my journey.  I figured it out that I have lost 1.5 pounds a week.  That is awesome for me.  I was hoping for a pound a week and had said to myself, when I started Weight Watchers, that my goal was to lose 52 pounds in one year.  But at this rate, I should be at 52 pounds in just a few weeks which is three MONTHS sooner than I expected.  Yay me!!

Now that leads me to my next question...what should be my next goal?  I am feeling very weird about this thought.  First of all, maybe I shouldn't jump the gun.  I have not really met my first goal; so, why am I looking toward my next one?  Second, what if I stall out and it does take me the next three months to lose the next 4 pounds.  Third, why am I being so negative? I should look forward, right?  Yes.

Okay, here we go... Goal 1- Stay committed to Weight Watchers for one year (ongoing- 19 weeks left)
                                Goal 2- Lose 5 pounds (check)
                                Goal 3- Lose 10 pounds (check)
                                Goal 4- Lose 10% of body weight (check)
                                Goal 5- Lose 52 pounds within one year (So close)
                                Goal 6- Lose 20% of body weight (do by 10.5 months)
                                Goal 7- Get to One-der-land (term from Biggest Loser meaning to be in the 100's)
                                             (do by a year)
                                Goal 8- Lose 75 pounds (unsure of my timeline, may need to be a smaller goal)
                                Goal 9- Get to goal weight (feeling like this is very far away)
                                Goal 10- Stay at goal

Whoa, there they are, all laid out in front of me.  That is a bit overwhelming.

I did it!

I lost 3.4 pounds!  Yes!!  That brought me over the 45 pound marker and I am now on my way to 50 pounds lighter!  Hell ya!! I had promised myself that when I lost 50 pounds I would get myself some new clothes.  I am super excited to have some new clothing that isn't baggy on me and possibly all comes from the "regular" clothing section, not plus size.  One of the reasons I have hated clothes shopping is specifically because I am in the plus size section.  Although the plus size world has come into it's own in the last few years transitioning out of the bag clothing to slightly more hip looking clothing, I have still always longed to be where the cute clothes were, which was not in MY section. But now, maybe it will be or possibly IS my section.
