I think I'm getting past my first plateau....

Pretty much all of December, I flip-flopped back and forth between 178 and 175. My thyroid medication had to be changed, because of how much weight I had lost. I am hoping I am back on track, because I finally made it to 174 this week. I was starting to get frustrated, but had to tell myself that I had done really good overall. I've now gotten just past the 40 lbs lost mark.

 

Now, my next goal is to get to 160. My birthday is in early March, so that's my deadline for this goal. I think it may be tough, but I'm going to try.

 

Finally, I didn't make a "I'm going to lose weight" New Year's Resolution. I made a "I'm going to do 6 5K walks" New Year's Resolution. I know, I know, it is just walking, but I'm just not a runner and don't plan to be at this point.

 

So, I will check back in, in a couple weeks and let you know how I'm doing.

    You do not have to be a runner. I have lost 130 lbs and never went into any gym and never ran a step (well I do chase a 3 yr old). I don't walk really either (do to other medical conditions (shin splints, sprained spine, back issues). My form of exercise is in the pool..I use water resistance weights and I swim. My surgeon also believes that walking or swimming are the best forms of exercise. With the swimming there was less if any pressure on my joints so I actually felt better after being in the water and I got a work out. It worked for me so don't say "it is just walking" like it is bad..it is one of the best things you can be doing!!! Take care.
