169.4. That’s what I weighed today. It’s beautiful. I saw James today for the first time this semester. He was very impressed with how I’m looking. It made me feel *really* good. I’m also wearing my first size 9 jeans. Single digits. God that feels great. They’re the only 9’s that fit right now, but I’m doing so well. I started out at 194. So now I have only 39.4 lbs left. That means I’m getting close to the midway point with the amount of weight that I needed to lose. I’m at 24.6 now. 8 more lbs and I’m halfway there. It shouldn’t take that long. Another month or so.... But I’ve lost the 24.6 since the beginning of July. So, even though that’s not quite a healthy amount to lose in 2 months, I’m okay with that. If I could keep that pace, I would be completely happy. Unfortunately, as I have to pick up the amount of exercise and eat less as I weigh less, I can’t keep up that pace. My doctor told me to only lose 5 lbs a month, but I kind of felt like that was a boring amount of weight and that I could do better than that. I’m certain that I can. He told me 30 lbs in 6 months. I want to do it in half the time. (30 lbs from 178. NOT from 194. My doctor did not see me when I was at my heaviest.) I can see these numbers adding up in my head. Though I think when I go back at the end of next month I may have to have weights in my shoe to avoid getting yelled at.... Oops. I’m already ahead of where the doctor thinks I should be ...I’m not going back just to make him happy. I can’t start that trend again
