Weekly weigh-in - Weighty Issues

I am down to an average of 228.4 right now, from 230 last week(ish). One pound and some change away from my next milestone, which is 30 pounds lost!

I just got off the bike after a weekend break and did 8 good miles in half an hour. I am also feeling less winded during the workout despite going faster AND on higher resistence levels, so I know my fitness and health is genuinely improving with the effort I am putting in, along with slow, solid losses.

I am officially saying sayonara to the 230's, as even my worst fluctuations with water and food don't drive me out of the 220's in any meaningful way. It feels SO darn good to be where I am and I know each additional set of 10 pounds lost will feel (and look) exponentially better.

Speaking of looks, though I have been getting compliments for awhile, I think this past Sunday morning was the first day I really noticed my weight loss in my body in the mirror. My face looked genuinely slimmer, even to my reluctant eye, and my clothes were smooth and attractive on me (they'd gapped horribly in the bust before, and been uncomfortably tight to the point of me being self-conscious) and I know I looked healthier, happier, and prettier than I have in a long time (at least since Juneau, if not before we got married). It takes my eyes so much longer to notice changes in my body than for others to notice, so this was a pleasant change for me. Even if I dont make it to 200 before Christmas I know my family's jaws will drop when they see me, and that is a very satisfying feeling.

I've been doing well on both food and exercise, and feel great too. Can't ask for much more than that! Off to cool dinner.

Congrats on the 30 pounds - that is awesome! The bike sounds great too - I just got up to about that fast and its KILLING me right now...maybe once I am as small as you it will be easier. Keep it up, Taryl, you'll be in onederland before you know it!

That is so wonderful to say good-bye to the 30's, and hello to the 20's!

I think it's wonderful that you can tell a difference in your stamina and endurance when you ride your bike!

Awesome job!
