YEAH to goldfinch and crazycanuck! Great job turning the square to a new color (yeah, that happens when you meet your goal, or are at least less than a lb away).
I have decided that at 114 pounds (actually, anything less than 115) is acceptable. I am now in normal weight range where I was obese. Now I concentrate on fitness. Today I met with a personal trainer, had an assessment, and Wednesday will be our first session. My upper body strength and core strength are crap. Let's see what I can do about that!
I know the toughest is ahead of me. The odds of me keeping this weight off are extremely low. But those who do manage to keep off the weight are people who watch the scale, pay attention to calories, and who exercise. Every day I keep off the weight the odds improve.
I will likely live my life hungry, fighting my brain and body's urge to put on the weight. For now, I am content with that.

Roxy, have you heard from your doctor yet about the fluid retention? Hopefully it's just a temporary side effect of ending that medication.

Drat. 118.4 today. You'd think with the such a stressful, sedentary week I'd put on a few pounds, not go down.

146 for me this week - a little late due to being out of town...again.
Slow but steady on the fat loss. My weekly travel is pretty much done until January, so I'm looking forward to some more varied workouts (not just all running) and some better nutrition. I'm quite proud of how well I've been able to stick to my goals and plans even with the travel though.
Came back to add that I took my measurements last week (first time since starting paleo) and I've lost 5 lbs of fat, I've lost NO lean body mass (which is a miracle considering how little weight training I've done) and I'm down a half inch in my thighs and 1.5 inches in my waist. This is all in 7 weeks. Yay, paleo!Last edited by GLC1968; 10-22-2011 at 06:44 PM.
