Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 145 lb - okay so yesterday, being halloween, i let myself have whatever i wanted. i didnt even eat any actual food except for a tiny piece of lasagna and some macaroni salad. it was pretty much all chocolate throughout the day. didnt gain any weight though which i am happy about. but today i started fresh, i know what i want and im going to have it. i have a wedding to go to in february and id like to be at most 160 by then. so 10 pounds, not a huge goal but its reasonable. i want to buy some nice clothes for the occasion and id feel way better about myself with a little less flab, especially in the lower belly. anyways, today i had some tofu for breakfast, two 35 cal yogurts and an apple as a snack at work, and then came home and had some all bran cereal. only about 650 calories so im definately going to eat something later when i get hungry because i dont want my metabolism to crash. i just dont know if i can do this sometimes though, ive lost so much weight already that i know i am capable, its just its suuuch a slow process now, because i lose it was slower because im getting close to my ideal weight, and in 6 more pounds i wont be "overweight" anymore. so its gonna take a while but u know what, as long as im my goal by the summer, i will be soooooo tremendously happy. ive always wanted to wear a jean skirt in the summer but ive never had the legs for it lol anyways im rambling on now, good luck everyone and good job to you all also
