So the first piece I have to announce is that obviously I can't add. On my last post I said I was down 18 lbs, I actually had only lost 16 lbs. No gain or anything I just can't add apparently.
That out of the way, I went to weigh in today and was down another pound so my grand total now is 17 (yes that is correct!!! :oP) pounds down. The councelors at the center keep expecting me to have some big dramatic response to this. I keep telling them, that while I am happy at the numbers I have a feeling of "been there done that". I am almost tot he point where that won't be the case but I feel like I am letting them down in the mean time.
When I was hitting these numbers the last time I was on the plan I was thrilled. I couldn't remember a time when I had been at a weight this low. I am pretty sure that between my middle school years and post college I didn't step on a scale. So watching the number get lower was a thrilling ride! Flash forward to today, my state of mind is that I have been here, and recently.
My current average is about 6 lbs a week. I know that this average will decrease a bit as time goes on, that is just the nature of the plan. However, if I am able to keep up the loss at a fairly decent rate by the end of this week I will be at a weight that I haven't been to again. I have about 5 lbs to lose before I hit that point. From that point on I am sure I will be overly thrilled!
The experts all say you should set small goals that are attainable to reach your bigger goal. Well my first small goal is to hit 1 lb lower than the last lowest number I remember (so in 5 lbs). After that my next two goals are actually really close to each other. The first will be after an additional 16 lbs when I will hit my original goal weight the first time I was on plan. 5 pounds after that I will hit the next goal where I will actually have a BMI that reads "normal". I am not sure which I will be more excited about but since they both fall so close to each other I will probably just celebrate them together. Any thoughts on how I should celebrate that accomplishment? Maybe my next post will be on celebrating!
That's all for now. Happy eating my friends!!!

I am extremely proud of you!!! You are one of the few people I know who really has kept the weight off and to lose more now is just "the icing on the calorie free cake." As for a reward, I think some shiny babble should do the trick -- a necklace or bracelet maybe?? Diamonds are a girl's best friend, you know...
Congratulations!
