I lost 3 lbs. this week....I now weigh 226.0 lbs. Finally....a decent loss! I'm going to try 1700 cals a day this week and see what that produces...I ate 1600 cals 4 days last week and 1800 cals 3 days, so I think 1700 is about the average. I'll also be in the gym 5-6 days again this week. Now I can say I'm comfortably in the 220's and no longer teetering at the edge of 230.
More good news!! With this loss, I reached 2 mini-goals this week!! 45 lbs lost marked my next 15 lb. mini-goal, which means it's time for a little reward! And making it to the 46 lbs. lost marker means that I'm officially HALF WAY TO GOAL!! When I started, I had 92 lbs. to lose....I've lost 46, so only 46 more to go!! It's all downhill from here friends!! :)

Whoo hoo! Yee haw! You are a success. I am cheering you on girl! Aren't mini-goals great? I've been thinking about some for myself. It makes you feel successful quicker. What is your reward Tammy girl?
ReplyDeleteCHEERS! This is fantastic and I'm very proud of you!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Tammy. I am hooting and hollering on your success. Thank you for your words of encouragement on my last blog entry. We all need support. I am aiming for an actual weight loss for next Wed. Stay tuned. Hoorah for Tammy, hugs, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Well done Girly!! You deserve it u work ur ass off at that gym! Keep up the good work! As I would tell my eldest You are a star!!!
ReplyDeleteWhatever you're doing, it's working!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, this is such exciting news. Half way to goal...am sure you can taste it now...keep going, so many people stop the closer they get to goal - look back with regret as they've gained and have to start all over again feeling very demotivated.
ReplyDeleteKeep putting small weekly goals in place to keep your focus - you know we here in blogland will keep you going as much as we can - then the rest is up to you...YOU can do it...look how good you looking already.
Awesome! What's your reward gonna be? I think that's a great idea to reward yourself. I hadn't thought of doing that. Being halfway there is such an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the great lose this week. I do 3 days of higher calories (2300-2500) and then 4 lower (1600-1800) for about a 2000 a day average and it seems to work well for me most weeks. I put in about 5-7 hours of exercise those weeks too. That's terrific you hit your half way mark, it is all downhill from here *smile*.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Tammy. You were due some good news given all your excellent effort. Halfway to goal! Woot!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Good job!! That is a really good loss! Congrats on making it half way!
ReplyDeleteYay Tammy! I am so happy for you - congratulations on hitting your mini-goal!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat loss! Way to rock the milestones, Tammy. You've killing this thing...
ReplyDeleteYAY FOR YOU!!!! That's FANTASTIC!!!! What a bunch of accomplishments for you, girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the calories AND the weight loss... and going to the gym 5-6 x per week! How long do you workout when you go? Just curious. But anyway, CONGRATS!!!! You're SO close to one-derland!!!
Great job~
ReplyDeleteYeah Tammy. You are doing such a great job! Keep it up. You know now that next summer you'll be wearing those sexy tops and shorts. Woohoo! You go girl! I'm proud of you for keeping at it.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy. Congrats on your loss. You're doing great - much better than you give yourself credit for. Maybe aiming for 1600 was good because if you go over a little sometimes you can still come in at 1700 average a day for the week. But obviously psychologically it feels better to set a limit and be able to stick to it - makes you feel more in control. So I hope the 1700 works out.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get there!
Best wishes,
Bearfriend xx
I LOVE the fact that we both hit our half-way points on the same weigh in! Its awesome! I wish I only had as far as you to go, but I'll get there, and skinny Tammy will be there waiting for me! Love you!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations on your success!
ReplyDeleteGo Tammy Go!!!

ReplyDeleteGo Tammy! What a milestone. Make sure to get yourself something very nice (or as nice as you can).
ReplyDeleteYAAAAYYYY!!!! Go, Tammy!!! You rock and I am SO proud of you for sticking with this! You are the embodiment of persistance, sister!
ReplyDeleteWoW!!! Great job girlie! I knew you could do it. Keep the momentum going! Halfway there!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you. I am happy to hear that you increased your calories. Good job lady!
