Only 1 pound from "overweight"!!

[AllyJonesVSG 184]

I have been in the "obese" category for so many years and I just realized that in only one more pound I'll be officially down to "overweight" - which may not seem like much of a victory, but sure feels like one to me. I'm wearing another pair of my college kid's jeans today - size 14! - because I don't fit any of mine (again). And I feel SOOO healthy. So glad I did this. I'm GREAT at losing weight, but horrible at keeping it off, so this? This is wonderful.

I can't wait until I get out of the obese category. 25 more pounds... seems kind of daunting.

25 should be nothing for you, Miss Superloser! Especially now that you're getting better with your Water again!

I def appreciate the vote of confidence. But the loss has slowed tremendously. But I will stay positive and say that increasing my Water intake could really help.

Sadly, it's bound to slow down. You used to carry another whole person around piggyback all day. Now it's just you. Mine has slowed a lot, too. I've added in a couple of "meals" of fruit and veggies only and that seems to have made it pick up a bit. Sometimes that means I have to drink a Protein shot at the end of the day, but I love my veggies! It takes me 2 sittings to eat a snack-size bag of sugar snap peas and grape tomatoes. But I had been eating Snacks like Whisps because they have more protein, but they just make me crave more salty/crunchy. I don't need any help in that department.

Research shows a strong correlation between proper hydration and fat loss
