10% of starting weight GONE!

Alright. So this past Tuesday at weigh in I hit a little more than 10% of weight loss of my starting weight (27lbs)! I was so excited!

This is what it looks like so far:

Starting weight: 276.4
Current weight: 247.4
Total lost: 29.0

Goal: 175.0 (A loss of 101 pounds!)
Remaining to lose: 72 pounds

Starting pants size: 22
Current Pants size: 18

Starting shirt size: 18/20
Current shirt size: 14/16

I am on such a weight-loss high. I have more energy, I like myself more, and I just want to keep going! I feel like there is nothing that can stand in my way!!!

I have lost 25 pounds!!!!

Dang straight! You read that right!!! I have lost 25 pounds!!!! 25!!!

I am so stinking excited to say that! I am 25% of the way to my goal.

I steped on the scale and I had lost another 2.4 pounds, and about wet myself I was so excited!! :D

I've gotta keep going though. Not quite where I wanna be.

Stress + Grief = Emotional Eating

On April 23, I lost a very close family friend. And I went to Michigan to be with family and friends.

Because I was in MI, staying at different peoples homes, I did not have time to shop. So I choose to eat like I had eatten prior to starting my weight loss journey. I ate all day, every day. And I ate things that were not even close to being a wise choice.

I knew that I was eating like crap and I knew why I was eating, but still I did not do anything to change it. I think that I still need to conquer that emotional eating demon, because obviously it still controls me.

I have weigh-in on Tuesday and I am just hoping that I have lost something. Even if it is a few ounces! I am going to hit the gym hard tomorrow, not only to try to counter act what bad decisions I have made, but also to get out some anger and frustration.

We'll see how it goes on Tuesday.
