Week 11 & 12 - Guess Who Lost 30lbs???

Me! Me! I did!
32.8 pounds actually

Week 11 Weigh in was 212.8
Week 12 Weigh In was 209.2

Basically - I achieved my 30 by Thirty goal, 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Ok - I took some pictures.

I probably should've cleaned my mirror first.

NSVs (Non Scale Victories)
Size 18 jeans to Size 14 now
Size 1x/2x Shirt to L Shirt now
I dropped significantly in bra size as well but I'd prefer not to highlight those depressing stats.
I regularly hit the treadmill twice a day, and it's not even the worst thing ever.

Measurement Changes
Bust: -4.5 inches
Waist: -4.5 inches
Hips: -6.5 inches
Thighs: -3 inches

So, what now?
Well... Based on my BMI, I'm still obese.  202 is the magic number that puts me in the overweight category, and that's awful close to ONEderland (199) so next up on the goal list:

202 - (No longer obese)
199 by New Years Day
189.9 at some point (my lowest weight I can remember as an adult where I felt damn fine)
Size 12 Jeans one day

I'm not sure how this is going to go with all the holidays and birthday binge drinking.  I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and see what happens.

Maybe if I keep this up I could be a healthy weight (168.5) by summer. We'll just have to see.  I'll just be happy to get to 199 and then decide from there how much further I want to go.

Work Weigh Loss Competition
Laura won - by a fraction of a percentage.
BUT
Laura is a really nice person - she insisted on splitting the prize money 50/50.
Laura is way nicer than me.
Thanks Laura and good job!

I might keep writing here and there, just to keep myself accountable.  Obviously I'm not so good at weekly updates so that won't be happening.
Thanks to all who have read and supported me!

Week 11 Weigh In

Did anyone think I'd make it 11 weeks into this diet lifestyle change?  I sure didn't.  I don't think I see any signs of stopping either.

After a less than inspiring week
Today's Weight: 213.0

It's pure miracle that I lost weight last week.  I think God is smiling down upon me because I took food to the homeless shelter Friday.  They need those calories more than I do.  You know it - I could have eaten half of that sandwich tray by myself.

Someone Said I Looked Skinny In My Halloween Costume!

Hipster Ariel
You know "I wanna be where the people are"
but PBR...because hipsters drink PBR.
No, I don't like PBR.

Speaking of Eating
Say it with me: NO MORE BAGELS at least till next Wednesday. Next Tuesday is the final weigh in for this work challenge and there's $168.75 on the line that I'm taking to Tunica! buying Christmas presents with! taking to Tunica! 

Next Mondays Dinner Menu
Water & Ex-Lax - dinner of champions; Weigh Loss Champions that is!
I'm kidding of course... probably kidding....
Either way I'm going to pretend I'm kidding and never admit to actually doing it if I decide to do so.

Maybe I'll schedule a nice cleansing colonic for Monday morning.  I'm kidding of course...

That's enough of that shit. (Get it? Shit? ha!)

If I Lose One More Pound I've Hit My 30 by Thirty Goal!
Can I do it? Meh - I hope so.
My new hiking shoes will be at my house this week.  Maybe I'll walk up that mountain this weekend?
or
Maybe I'll drink all the beer this weekend?
Maybe I'll do both.

Stay tuned next week to see what happens...
