Its that's time of week again! I looked back at my original post for the challenge start and I cringed a bit. Do you know I began weighing 168 and I set my goal to be down 18lbs?!? Am I nuts? LOL well we shall see, I do not want to set myself up for failure but I just do not feel like I am going to make that goal. It seems that now that I weigh much less than when I began my weight loss has slowed down. I do not see huge losses anymore. I am averaging 1-2lb losses every week. I know I know it seems good still but I guess I just find myself getting impatient.
Weigh in this week was good I am happy I am down 1.6 pounds :) So hopefully next week I can hit my next big goal of 90 pounds down! I plan to work extra hard this week to make it happen!
I began the challenge at 168lbs so I have lost a total of 4.2 pounds so far in the last 3 weeks. I need to kick it up a notch if I wanna hit my goal though! 18 pounds is no joke, but it will make my BMI to healthy and no longer over weight ;D
It was a great workout week, I hit the kettlebell 3 times, did Jackie Warner's total body circuit twice and I ran 17 miles in total. I also made it on the evil elliptical twice! I need to increase my miles the next 2 weeks because my half marathon is in 38 days!!!! I am kind of freaking out about it a bit all of a sudden I am feeling anxiety about not being ready. I know rationally I can do it, but my mind sometimes let this doubt creep in.
And incase you missed my tweet pics hehe I celebrated a huge huge non scale vicotry this week! I rocked size 4 pants!!!! I started this journey wearing a size 18 just 11 months ago. yesterday I proved to myself that with some hard work and determination you really can reach levels you never ever thought possible!
How was everyone's week?

You are doing fantabulous! And, really, if you are in size 4 pants, but *not* at a healthy BMI, there is something wrong with the BMI scale. IJS. You look amazing.
You look great! 1-2 lbs is really a great average.
I have to agree with Bari - you look great! not sure where you have 18 pounds to lose!!
great job on all your progress.
Your weight loss is something to be excited about!
Congrats on the loss this week! And I agree wth everyone...you look AMAZNG!!
WOW!! You look absolutely AMAZING!! Do you know that you're one of my heroes? You keep me going with your continued positive words and encouragement.
I lost 1.6lbs, too this week...yay!!
GO GIRL! You look so AWESOME :)
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! I'm so proud of you Colleen. You are determined and so strong. I love your attitude. So positive :)
Congrats on the loss and size 4 pants! WOOT!..
Also, sad to say the losses definitely slow down once you get lower. That's something I've been struggling with for a long time (longer than I care to admit). As long as you are still losing each week, you'll get there! I promise!
Bari thank you. Yes I think the BMI is a little off but I still want to reach for it ;) I tend to be an over achiever lol
Aww joanna thank you so much! I love sharing my story with everyone and honestly your support keeps me going :) You are doing great too!
Thanks Christy, yes it is frustrating lately losing little by little LOL its like I just want to get to goal asap. Thanks for always supporting me :)
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
You are doing AWESOME, C!! WTG on not only another loss, but on those size 4 jeans. I wouldn't give a rat's ass about the number on the scale or on a BMI chart if I could rock a pair of size 4 jeans. ;)
Great week! I could have written this post... Crazy how similar my journey is right now. I have slowed down, but really thought I would pick up again after the holidays when I got back to being really strict on my eating plan.
I keep reminding myself that slow and steady is much better than gaining. Keep up the great work and you are rocking the size 4 pants!
thanks Mel, I am trying not to stress the scale but then again I want lifetime at weight watchers which means I need to get to at least 150 :)
Thanks Tiffany, yes the slowing down is annoying! But I understand it and I am working my butt off to speed it up a lil ;)
