A health, fitness, and weight-loss story.

180's

I don't blog much anymore. I don't know why! I'm really kicking it right now with weight loss.

Anyway, I hit 189 pounds today. First time since 1993 that I've been in the 180s. I broke my "192" curse. I got to 192 in 2001 and again in January of this year. Both times I gained weight. The first time was stress and I gave up. This year it was the kidney stone surgery/depression/change of diet due to the kidney stones.

Well, since August 1st I've been hot and on the move. I busted that curse and plan on keep going all the way to goal--whatever that is. I updated my goal page, and I'm re-thinking what exactly my goal is. I still say I'll know it when I get there.

Unbelievable to think I'm in the 180s. Me. After all the grief, pain, and hard work: finally. I'm six and a half pounds from losing 100 pounds. I WILL be there soon.

    O-M-G!!!! You never gave up.... I hate to admit this, but the fact you lost and gained back to 222 is a big motivator and help to me. Why? Because you Never Gave Up...seems life MADE you sit on the sideline a couple times..but still, your determination pushed you through all the bullcrap and hardship - wow. Congrats, Congrats, and Congrats!!!!
