249.2 (-3.1) & fifty followers?!

Having a clear and focused goal really helped me stay on plan this week. I'm feeling pretty good about a 3-pound loss. If I can keep losing at this pace I just may meet my goal of losing 15 pounds by Labour Day.

Wait a minute.

Do you know what this means?


I have lost 10% of my original weight. YeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAA- HOOOOO!!!

What's more exciting, I woke up this morning to find I have 50 followers on this little blog. It just made my day. You have all been so supportive and encouraging throughout this process. I'm constantly amazed by all the great advice and the encouragement I've found in BlogLand. I seriously couldn't do this if I didn't have the blog. It's made me extra accountable, pushed me to strive for new challenges and forced me to do a lot more soul searching on how I want to live my life.

XO
Rae

  6. Raegun, thanks for joining my blog. Great progress. 10% is where health benefits kick it (I am told). Way to go! (And I have family in Buffalo, so years ago I went to a handful of Jays games at Skydome and even one at Exhibition Stadium.)

  9. 10% is huge! Studies show that a loss of 10% is enough to see changes in certain health indicators such as blood pressure, diabetes risk, and heart disease. That's what it's all about!

  16. I can't tell you how much knowing people are reading what you are doing will help you. I CAN'T honestly tell you that it keeps me from eating oreos and domino's pizza bread bowl pastas, but it DOES make me feel guilty-er about it.
    Keep blogging! You can do this!
