So, I've worn out all my size 16 pants. I went to the mall to buy another pair but with my long legs I could not get a pair.
So.... I've squeezed myself into my size 14's that I abandoned on the way up the scale some time before summer.
Should be motivation to lose some more weight. They are very tight at the waist! Must set dryer to low. hahahaha.

Getting close to my Lowest Weight in 2009
Today I saw 204 on the scale. (down a pound from earlier this week)
I started at 218 at the beginning of October.
I am in a dangerous place with a lot of extra stress that I don't normally have. (mom hospitalization)
However I am hanging in so far.
Really glad I am enrolled in the weight loss program that I am right now.
It is keeping me in line.
Weekly weigh in with same consultant is great too.
Even though sometimes I would like to wring his neck. :)
Also my mom's health has really put the fear into me.
I do not want that to be me in 24 years. No WAY!
I started out the year at 203 (and at the time I though that was bad then went 15 pounds higher after that).
First goal is 199. (below 200 pounds obviously)
Then 183 (lowest 2008 weight)
Then 168 (lowest 2002 weight)
Then hopefully 158 or whatever I weigh with 25-ish % body fat and size 10 pants.
Right now even though I've lost 14 pounds I'm still at 42% body fat (down from 44). Hopefully that doesn't mean I'm losing muscle or some such crap. 14 pounds lost = 6.4% of my body weight. It seems body fat percentage loss does not track with body weight loss. I never really get that. The only thing that makes sense is muscle loss though I am doing some strength training. Maybe I need to do more.

AM at home weight: 206
Total down: 12 pounds from start.
Have basically been the same for 3 weeks. Actually went up 1.5 pounds from there then back down again.
Got off track when I went for weekend away the first weekend in November. Then had a hard time getting back to it. Then have not been following 'plan' for the past week with Mom being in hospital. At the same time, I have not been over eating or eating junk either so therefore the maintain. I am kind of happy with that actually. I could have easily started hitting the drive thru at this time since I am quite stressed and my schedule is shot to hell.
Trying to keep on track in the midst of all this stuff (mom emergency heart surgery in 3 days from now) but basically if I maintain I am OK with that.
I think it might get more stressful once she is out of the hospital actually.
Thinking positive: 6 pounds to go until 199.9.
