55 in 52: 28 weeks

Starting weight: 185
Goal weight: 130
Current weight: 154
Lost so far: 31 pounds

It's been a while since I updated y'all on my progress here, but things are still going well! Actually, my weight loss really seems to happen in fits and starts. I'll go for a few weeks working really hard and losing nothing and then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, I'll lose several pounds over a few days. I'm not complaining, though, as long as I'm losing I don't care how it happens!

To be honest, I am feeling pretty darn pleased with myself lately. I have sailed past the halfway point to my big goal, and yesterday morning I met my mini-goal of getting down to my wedding weight before R&R! I am so proud of myself!

So here's a little review:

When Tim left in April, 185 pounds

16 weeks, 168 pounds

Today, 28 weeks, 154 pounds

One of these days I'll buy some smaller clothes so that you can actually see my body in these pictures, but I think the change is still visible. Those blue and orange shirts are the actually the same shirt in the same size, so you can tell that they've gotten a bit roomier.

I don't really have that much to say today, just that I am really enjoying the ride right now. Hope you all have a great weekend, I know I will! ;)

Lookin' good, Amy. The change is totally visible, and I agree with Chrissy that your calves are fabulous:)

That last comment is from Amber, not Matt. I guess he's signed in. I just thought that sounded a little gay for Matt to say your calves are fabulous.

Amy said...

LOL, Amber! I would have been so weirded out if you hadn't clarified that! :)

Thanks, everyone!
