My initial goal, in September 2010, was to lose 50 pounds in 50 weeks. I revised my goal, because I was ahead of schedule, and I made this initial post in December. By my daughter's wedding, I'd lost 47 pounds. By my July 9 reunion, I'd lost 53 pounds. Now, in October 2011, I've continued to lose more weight than my initial goal. I currently weigh 120 pounds. I'm still sort of still going. Right now, it's more about health than the scale. I reached a healthy BMI (body mass index) back in April. And, I reached my initial goal weight about 10 pounds ago (sometime between my daughter's May wedding, and my July thrity-year reunion). However, I very quickly realized that my "muffin top"/"love handles" were still too big. Online calculators tell me that, even though I have a "heatlhy" BMI, for my height and small frame, my waist measurments still put me"at risk" for cardiovascular diseases and Type II diabetes. I supsect that, if some more inches come off, more pounds will too. And, I could lose up to another 15 or so pounds without being considered underweight. I'm not really expecting to get that low. But, I haven't changed my eating patterns/food choices back to what they used to be, and, even though I'm losing more slowly than I was earlier, I've still been taking off about 2 pounds a month. ~ Faith P.S.: I've posted some photos in my albums here, if you go to my profile.
