hello all! Well, I have officially been in the 130s for over a week now. Just barely though... lol. I edged to the top of 139 a few times, but never went to 140. I like the thought that the "140s" are behind me, since that's a place I was "comfy" in. I'm excited to go to a new place. It hasn't been as easy to lose this week. I was 137 earlier, but as I said at the time I don't know how, and of course those cookies DID catch up with me. lol. Plus, avoiding meat makes me actually eat other things that I usually avoid. I NEVER eat biscuits or bread at home if I can help it. I really didn't care for bread. Eventhough we had low calorie slices or something, when I was eating healthy, I always looked at it as a waste of calories. I'd rather have soup and a salad then soup and a sandwich. Well...with the oncoming of me not eating meat, I've found myself allowing more bread and rice than I would EVER eat before. Like, I'm giving myself the green light because there's "no meat" in my dish. It's like I forgot that I was eating healthy and trying to lose weight. I just stopped eating meat, and started gaining weight. lol. So, today I've had to sit back and put that into perspective. It's weird because I was starting a new way of eating and now I have to change it AGAIN. To be non-meat but also "diet friendly". It won't be hard, just different....again. Oh, and I've been working out pretty crazy hard, so I can only imagine what my gain would've been had I NOT been hitting the gym daily! Eh. Oh well. Onto tomorrow. Hope everyone has a happy humpday. Ashley

How tall are you? Unfortunately the 139lbs of MINE is on only a 5'2 frame so naturally, being 120lbs is better for me in all kinds of ways.
I'm also a week away from 46 so 120lbs was quite reasonable. I could even be 130 and be much healthier. But there's something about getting back down to 120...a personal goal.
Two months ago I thought I'd be 120 by my birthday
Well, keep up the good work and you are so young still and it's wonderful that you are thinking about your health NOW and not when you are my age. It gets harder as you go!!! Keep that metab. burning!
