What a great week! It was measurement week, we have been doing our measurements every 4 weeks.
Weight loss - this week 4 (** oh yeah ** count 'em - 4!) lbs!
Total loss to date - 54.8 lbs!
I am starting to focus on the finish line - I believe I am aiming for approx. another 15 - 20 lbs more. At this rate, I will be on maintenance before I know it.
INCHES -- my loss this weeek -- 10.25" - Are you kidding me?! That reminds me -- I am wearing my SKINNY-EST Jeans! I decided to try them on during the week, because my "normal skinny" jeans seemed like they were Big...and they FIT! They were the one thing in my closet that I was not quite into when I did my closet "shopping" a few weeks back. I was/am thrilled thrilled thrilled!
I have heard that inches off will equal weight loss, and I didn't believe it back when my weight loss was at a rate of 2:1 to my inches lost. But, as you can see - they are starting to even out.
TOTAL 54.8 lbs lost vs. 49 3/4" lost
My hubby lost another 10" this week as well -- his total inches is 64"!!
He is still in the higher lbs lost than inches lost phase though, because I am SURE he has lost around 100 lbs! He is feeling GREAT, looking GREAT.. Going to the GYM every second day, he never misses! He rides the stationary bike and goes on the treadmill. I am SOOOO impressed! I have never seen him so motivated. When he notices how loose his clothes are getting, I think it just re-focuses him. And it seems like every day he gets smaller.
I said to him the other day "I forget, when I am away from him all day at work how much smaller he is now - and every day I am just a bit surprised when I see him!".
Going out to a special banquet on Saturday....The good news is that I have MANY choices for clothes to wear, and so does hubby! - The challenge will be avoiding all the "not to be consumed while in phase 1 foods..." Wish us luck. We will be surrounded by friends who have been nothing but supportive through this, so that should help.
TA TA for now (until next week).
