Oops, I forgot to put in my stats for this weigh-in.  185.8 lbs for a 12 lb reduction in 8 weeks.  At this rate I'll be lucky to see 160 by my birthday.  I'm a little disappointed, I admit.  But I remind myself that I'll be lighter than I was/am and able to fit into some of my old clothes...even if not the better ones.

That's a healthy weight loss though - 1 to 2 pounds per week averages out to 1.5 a week, which is 12 pounds in 8 weeks.  Healthy weight-loss = weight-loss you can maintain for LIFE.

Heh, yeah i know.  And the changes I've made to reduce the weight were changes I wanted to maintain for the rest of my life.  So really all that's happening is my body is finding the new weight that those changes are maintaining.  But still, there's a small part of me that is impatient and just wants to be there already instead of having to wait a few months.  I've never been a patient person.  So while my goals reflected a 1-2 lb reduction...that impatient part cries out "hurry it up already!!!" (lol, and the child/teen part of me wants to throw a fit because I'm not yet at a physical state where I can do the things I want to do.)

Plus I really really wanted to be 140 for my 9th bday (my bday's come once every 4 years).  If I was averaging 2lb reductions, then I could have made it.  But I'm not, so I won't.  However, I'll probably insist on getting a really nice outfit, and being 30+ lbs lighter than I was when I started I'll have better options than I do now.  (vanity...the frustration is all about vanity and impatience)  (I can be such a child sometimes..lol)
