As in 20!
Yes, I am a classics dork. But I am a classics dork who has hit a weight-loss landmark! Reached 20 pounds weight loss last week, though I waited til today to take the picture, as it's Zach's unit's Christmas ball, and I get to dress up in Slinky Black Dress (the full-length formal equivalent to Little Black Dress).
So, yes, since beginning Weight Watchers again in February (I rather fell off the wagon when I moved in with Zach) I have lost 20 pounds and I think that puts me at my slimmest since... well, I don't remember when - high school at least! Woohoo!
Even better, when we had a formal ball coming up, it means I can send for a formal dress or two from home (i.e. back with Mom) and can fit into this black one that was Anne's! Now for those that don't know us personally, I've always been the stocky, athletic build, while Anne's the slimmer, taller one. So it's very exciting to be able to fit into one of her old dresses! Not that she couldn't fit into it now - even with my weight loss, I'm still a few pounds heavier than she is - but that I can wear it too. Very proud of myself!
I still have about 8 pounds left to my goal. I'm aiming for the mid-point of my healthy BMI range. That way as I age or stress or whatever, I can gain or lose a few pounds without passing out of my healthy weight range. I'm in my weight range now, but only by about 6 pounds. I figure if I'm at the mid-point weight, I have a bit more cushion if I say, get stressed and eat too many Christmas cookies :)
