Slow, oh so slow, but steady loss....

Hi, all. I haven't been on here in awhile. My weight loss is so slow, but fairly steady. I've got about 14 weeks until my birthday and my goal (set at 17 weeks out) is to lose 10lbs before then. I've lost 2lbs. But, I know how mine fluctuates. It'll go down a little then it balances out at the same weight for a couple of days or more and then I might lose some more and then usually gain a small bit around 'that time of the month' and the cycle repeats.

The good news is that more people (including guys) are noticing this more recent loss from this Summer. I've been told I 'look tiny', 'skinny' and 'thin'. All words that I am not used to hearing. I am more comfortable flirting, even though I still see my thighs as little tree trunks.

Anyhow, I'm hoping to get in to the 130's this week. It has been more than 25 years since I've been in that range. My goal for my birthday is 132, which is only 17lbs from my official goal weight.

Oh and I bought my first size 8 skirt. Wowzer. I can't remember the last time I wore something that was in the single digits in sizing. Wahoo.

Good to everyone and keep it up! We can do this!!!

I so agree with the slow and steady. I want my skin to reshape with my body. A part of my mind would love to wake up tomorrow 100 lbs thinner but then reality sets in. I didn't gain the 100 lbs overnight!
