Oooohhhhhh baby! The Scale is mooooving!!!

The most exciting thing that can happen to a dieter is when the middle digit moves down a number!!! When you pass the 0 and are into the next set of 10 numbers that's such a great push to keep going. Especially in my case that my initial weight was 1_8.5, and this morning I weighed 1(number less)8.5!!! Yes, I'm down ten pounds!!! My stomach is definitely flatter and my face is smaller! I see a pattern. I tend to do poorly on Wednesday and Thursday because those are busy errand/appt days and then get amazingly back on track by Shabbos, and my biggest weight loss happens on Monday and Tuesday, which are days I am usually home and able to really take care of my meals and eat well.
I suppose the numbers on the scale @ the center will be slightly highter than it is @ home, but ultimately my real weight loss for me is measured by my home scale, Wednesday mornings before my coffee. And that is ten pound less than three weeks ago. If I keep this going for the next few months, even if I only lose 1/2 pound a week or stay on maintenance, I'll reach my goal of looking slim for my niece's wedding in September. Well, that's not the main goal, but one of them. My current goal is getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight from 3 1/2 years ago, which is another five pounds, a total of fifteen. I want to see that goal by the time I finish Tanya's six-week program in three weeks from now. I think it's totally doable, BEZ"H. Then I won't mind so much if it slows down to 1/2 pound a week over the summer.
