Weighed in this morning and I lost another pound! So happy for that. I could have done better, but that's okay. I knew when I settled in to read this past weekend that I would pay. And when I went to Kaylee's party and ate those sweets I knew that I would pay. At least the cost wasn't gaining weight.

Now I'm feeling highly motivated to dig in and lose some more. I'm going to have to stay serious if I want to reach my interim goal by my birthday - just 12 weeks and 5 days to lose 27 pounds. I need to up the exercise so I can tilt the equation more in my favor.

I'm noticing small changes like having to pull up my pants because they slip down from my waist and I see my belly less often when I look down. Bonus, my eyes aren't as "puffy" as they were - guess all that extra fat had to go everywhere!

12 down and 27 more to go until I reach the other side of 200 pounds. Victory is mine!
