Day 64 - Jersey Boys on the horizon.

Okay so here I am starting week 10...Lots of good things going on, weight is coming off and I had a good weigh-in today. I am within 2.8 pounds of my first goal weight, which was 150 pounds. I lost 2.4 pounds this week and my total weight loss is 28.2 pounds. Sunday, March 7 is just around the corner and that is when I am going to the show the Jersey Boys with my mom at the performing arts hall. Mom and dad got me the ticket for Christmas...please reference my before picture in my sidebar. That is what I looked like on Christmas and my goal was to get to 150 by March 7....I don't weigh in again until Tuesday, March 9 but I'm positive by then I should have shed the 2.8 pounds, meaning that I made my first goal! That makes me feel really good, especially after setting goals and failing to meet them so many times in the past. I have never been more committed than I am now and I am so glad that I have the support of Medi Weightloss clinic between the biological support of the shots, supplements, and medication and the one-on-one counseling support every week, I have been so happy.

I also feel really good when I assess the statistics. One great thing about Medi Weightloss is that they give you more to look at when you are losing than just your weight. There are other measurements such as Fat Mass, Fat mass percentage, body water weight, and BMI that they measure. I am just as equally amazed at my progress in those areas as well. For example, When I first started Medi on December 29, 2009, my fat mass was 72.5 pounds. Today, my fat mass measured at 54.0 pounds. That is a decrease in 18.5 pounds. The total Fat % went from 40.1 to 35.3% and my BMI went from 30.1 (lower limit of normal for the obese range agghhh) and it is now 25.1, which is just slightly above the upper limit of normal for the normal weight range. They also measure waist circumference and my waist measurement on signing up at Medi...was 38 inches (ughh, embarrassing) now it is 34. I lost 4 inches off my waist and my loose clothing is a testament to that. I am not usually a statistics kind of person but it is fun to see the changes in terms of numbers and really helps keep things in perspective when I see the progress I am making besides the number on the scale. I am really looking forward to going to the show on Sunday. The reviews have been in the paper and I am even more psyched about how good it is going to be. I am also looking forward already to my weigh-in on Tuesday. My final goal is 140 pounds and that is within reach within the next month.

Thanks again for all your support and for following this journey with me. Have a happy week!
