Christmas Goal Achieved... now all I have to do is survive Christmas

Current Weight: 265.0 lbs
Lost This Week: 2.8 lbs

Awesome loss this week! Okay, so it is a little too much, and this is my second greater-than-two-pounds loss week in a row, but hell yeah! I am now at 265lbs and that feels awesome. I reached my Christmas goal a week early, which is fantastic. I was wondering if it was a bit of a lofty goal, but clearly not. This also brings me to a little over 10lbs to lose before my surgery and that is feeling very doable. I have 6 weeks, after all, and even with the Christmas break I think that is reachable.

Speaking of going, I am heading home for the holidays on Saturday. Most of my relatives haven't seen me in months, some not since the summer before I joined Weight Watchers. I've lost almost 45lbs in that time and gained an enormous amount of muscle (so it looks like I have lost more than 45lbs), and while most people know I've been losing weight, it is one thing to hear it and something entirely different to see it. In a shallow way, I am excited to see people's reactions. What I really would like is at least one exclamation of "Holy Shit!" when they see me. Ha ha ha! I also hope to keep losing over Christmas holidays, or at the very least stay the same. I actually feel like I can probably keep losing. I'm not going to drive myself nuts by it, but I am going to do my best. Weighing myself while home is going to be a bit touchy since my parents' scale is ancient and not very accurate, but at least it will give me a ballpark.


It also just occurred to my that I am only 8 pounds away from hitting the 50lbs mark. Holy hell. I'm so amazed and impressed at how well Weight Watchers works and how easy it is to follow. It truly is no effort  at all anymore for me and I am getting amazing results. This really is just something that works if you want it to. I'm so glad I gave it a shot. :)
