WEEK 6 -- DAY 41 -- 6TH WEIGH-IN


1.5 lbs. lost this week


5 lbs. lost this month


14.5 lbs. lost YTD


One day, a few weeks ago, I spent a few hours finding all of these great "success" graphics online. I'm happy that I get to use another one this week since I lost 1.5 pounds. There's nothing sweeter than success. I know my weight ticker says I've lost 15 pounds so far but that's because it can't calculate half pounds.

I definitely feel thinner and actually bought a little quilted vest yesterday to wear to my daughter's house today. It's a size smaller than I was previously buying so that made me happy. The real test would be if my daughter noticed that I had lost weight. The last time I saw her was at Christmas and I was over 230 pounds at the time. Now I'm under 220 pounds so it should be noticeable....especially to someone as discerning as she is.

We were sitting on the couch and she was staring at me. She told me that she liked my new eyeglasses but still kept staring. "You look good", she said...."Are you thinner?" I said no and went on changing the subject. Later we went out shopping and I told her about my "plan" and how I was doing. My son's girlfriend was also with us so I told her as well. They were all excited and then started to give me advice. "Stop right there", I told them. "This is one reason I wanted to do this without anyone knowing.....so no one would give me advice. For the first time in my life, I want to do it my way and it's obviously been successful." They agreed and no further advice was given.

I definitely ate more at her house than I have in the past six weeks because we had lunch as soon as we got there and then later on an antipasto salad. They all had pizza after that but I was full so I only had a few bites. She also made delicious Valentine's Day cupcakes and I couldn't disappoint her by not having one. But, once again, this is the beauty of my very "successful plan".....I can do this stuff and still lose the pound a week I want to lose.

Tomorrow's the actual Valentine's Day. I still have to get through that and then I'll be good to go.
