GOAL!!!

i cannot believe i finally did it. i reached my WW goal 2 weeks ago and i totally forgot to post about it, lol. the first 25lbs were the easiest and didn't seem like much work, but the last 10 felt like they took just as long to lose as the first 25.

in total, it took me 9 months to lose 35lbs. i joined august 31/2011 at 159.6lbs, took 3 months off when i got pregnant and MC'd to heal emotionally before jumping back in, and reached goal on october 3/2012 at 124.2lbs.

its taken a lot of work and determination, and going to meetings cuz without them, i probably wouldn't have stuck with it and been able to lose all the weight i gained in the first year of marriage and then some.

so now i'm in the maintenance phase of WW and have to maintain my weight for 6 weeks. I can go up 2lbs over my goal, but no more, otherwise, i have to get back down to goal and start the 6 weeks over again. i can continue losing if i want and if my body will allow it (not sure how much more i could possibly lose cuz i'm not at all sure what my body will be comfortable with) down to the minimum weight WW advises for my height. i've done one week and have 5 more to go, i have a feeling the food/drinks i had this past weekend won't mean good things on the scale this week, but i'm back to my morning workout and i've got to drink a shitton of water to flush it out  : P  along with reaching goal, i also got my last charm/souvenir from WW. i got a keychain when i lost 10% of my starting weight. i got a charm for the keychain when i lost 25lbs. and 2 weeks ago, i got another charm for finally reaching goal. i even use the keychain and have the charms on it so that i hopefully never forget what it took to lose the weight and help me stay motivated to keep the weight off!
