I had to chuckle at work this past week when one of my co-workers
said to me
"I mean this in the most complementary way, but you are now 1/2
the man you
used to be." Referring to my weight loss of course.

Well, this got me thinking. While there is no way I can end up at
1/2 of my
starting weight--nor would I want to--my goal of 185 is fairly
close to
2/3's of my original weight.

So, for my own squirrelly reasons, I'm adjusting my goal weight
down by 2
more pounds just so that, when I am done, I can say "I am 2/3's
the man I
used to be."

Hey, everybody has to have a goal. You can safely assume that I
have
greater goals than this, I just thought that this would be a fun
way to
think about this.

Have a great weekend folks.

You perused my web page, and I reciprocated. You look fabulous, JJ!
Not only are you thinner, you have truly taken years off of your
"before" appearance! Great job!

I enjoyed looking at your site. My DH and I met online, too, through a
local BBS. (They say these things never work out!)

Thanks for taking a look, Sheena. Yep...my husband and I have been
together for almost eight years now, and married for just over three
years. Eight years ago, we were a statistic...now we're merely in the
minority...lol. We still act like newlyweds...love is so much more
precious and meaningful when you find the real deal later in life, in
my opinion.

I agree. We met 10 years ago online and neither of us was looking for
anything serious. We've been married 7.5 years. I think it's working
out. :-)

Felicidades JJ,

That is quite a statement. I cant wait to be 2/3 the woman
I was... in my case it will be 176.

I just calculated it. When (not if!) my husband and I reach goal, we will have
lost 255lbs. That's only ten lbs short of my start weight! We will have lost a
whole me!! I'd love to get down to 1/2 the woman I was (132.5lbs) but getting
to 140 (or even under 150!) will be just fine with me! LOL

You go girl! We'll get there, together.

I'm anxious to get under 200 lbs...I haven't been there since I was about 19
years old. Sooooo close. I predict....Wednesday.

After that, I think that I am within a month of moving to pre-maintenance.
Honestly, getting to this point (and I don't just mean the last 5 months of
doing Atkins) has been so long in coming that this almost doesn't seem real.
I've got to, again, thank the supportive folks here; you've helped make this
easier than I ever thought possible. Though I still have much work in front
of me in terms of transitioning to maintenance and staying at maintenance
weight, I have little doubt at this point that I will be successful.

Geez, this feels good. And, I have to admit a certain streak of vanity as
it is nice to look good again too.
