Onederland....sooooo close I can taste it...

So i have been trying to get to 199 since i started my journey on 1/1/08...it was my goal that first year to lose 54.8lbs....a lofty goal but i was fresh off having my second child and really going gang busters...or so i thought...anyway, i didnt make 199 by 12/31/08 but i did lose 23 or so lbs - ending the year at about 231lbs...

i continued on and in 2009 lost 7 more lbs even though my goal was to still get to 199 sometime that year.....i ended 2009 at around 224lbs....

i still continued on into 2010 and have to date lost 24lbs more....I AM GOING TO MAKE 199 before 12/31/10.....i currently weigh 200 and I WILL be 199 by this saturday...I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS GOAL I HAVE HAD FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS.....

Then when 2011 starts i will firmly be in onederland and will continue to go down down down.....and i can visit the plastic surgeon who did my breast reduction in 2000 to discuss the tummy tuck i have always wanted even before having 2 kids....

i was looking back at my weight records and here are some numbers that show how far i have come....

my first adult weight memory is 210lbs in april 2000 when i met my husband...

one year later i was up to 245lbs after being in a blissfully happy relationship...

i immediately went to WW and lost 55lbs in 15 months ending up at 190.5lbs by oct 2002..this is the lowest i have any record of in my adult life....

when i got married in nov 2003 i was around 214lbs.....

when i delivered my son in sept 2004 i was 263 lbs....

after seeing pictures of myself at my son's 1st birthday party in sept 2005 weighing 260lbs i immediately joined Jenny Craig with a friend and got down to 206.6 by oct 2006....

in jan 2007 right before i found out i was preggers with my daughter i weighed 211.4lbs and 6wks post partum in oct 2007 i weighed 247.2lbs....

of course this brings me back to the start of my journey on 1/1/08 at 253.8lbs....

up down up down up down from 2000-2007 officially stopped on 1/1/08....i am only going to continue going down down down now that i am on this journey to change my life for good......i'm not on a diet - i'm here to change my life so that i am a healthy mom for my kids and as i keep losing weight with this new healthy lifestyle i'm cherishing the smaller numbers and the smaller me....
