10 left (lbs that is)

[farflight]

Hey all, pretty nice woot for me today. Weight 205 this morning. Final goal is 195 (On which case I'm going to freaking CiCi's to lose my self-respect).

 

Hoping to even out around 200 (acceptable, don't really want 200+ ever again).

 

From my heaviest ever, I'm about 120-130 lbs lighter today than 15 yrs ago. Yo-yoed with weight for a long time with crash diets (would end up losing 80 then gaining 50 back).

 

Taking charge of my life, and changing things to be manageable seems to actually work...who'da thunk it.

 

Now trying to start focusing on body fat percentage

Guess I'll be the first to say congratulations! Good to see some of your hard work paying off. No harm in eating CiCi's either. I never wanted to live in a world where I couldn't eat burgers/pizza whenever I wanted one. On the other hand don't let it become your main diet either. I don't usually like settling for the middle ground, but in this case, I'd recommend it.

 

At any rate keep at it if you want to lose further weight! Hard work and dedication always pay off when you've paid enough into them.

Couldn't agree with this more. The whole CiCi's things is a true splurge. I doubt I'll even be there long enough to kick me out. It's actually gotten hard for me to over eat, even and brunch buffets (maybe attended once a month for family function). I've been tracking food/calories for almost 5 years (1060 day streak on fitness pal currently, broke the streak a couple years ago) and the idea of eating for life, not eating for pleasure, has been kind of ingrained thus far. I'll often look at an unhealthy food and quietly ask if it's worth it. More often than not, the 10 minutes of "pleasure" from eating a creme brulee, does not rank high enough as "worth it."

 

I'm actually a tad nervous about having to start eating more for strength training. But I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.
