Forcing the Scale to Move

When I had my surgery, on March 11th, I weighed 271. I dropped to 231 in 4 weeks, then I hit a stall. I had been stuck at 231 until Tuesday of this week. Then I decided to up the time I spent at the gym. And Wednesday the scale said 230, I got excited and hit the gym again. Thursday morning it said 229, and Friday it was down to 228 and then this morning it went to 227. I am so excited to break through that stall, I'm getting ready to hit the gym again.

My first goal (of many) is to be under 200 pounds before we go to VEGAS in July. My next goal is to be 165 before New Years, then I won't be obese anymore. If I can make that I will start working towards 140 which is my ideal weight. I feel like the little engine that could and I am ready!
