Well, my goal for this week was 198, but with an entire week of travel, I'll take the loss. Should be able to make up for it this week!

Losing and gaining and losing this 10 lbs has been interesting. It's crazy how much of a difference it makes. My jaw line has become much more defined, I can see my entire collarbone for the first time in a long time, and I'm a definite size 12, which puts me squarely back into regular sized clothing. Feels good. I'm really excited to see how the difference between 200 and 190 will look.

Also picked up a bag of cat litter yesterday, which was 40 lbs. Just carrying that to my car put so much pressure on my joints, I can't believe I lived with that for so long. Also makes me think how much faster I'll be on my bike once I lose another 40!

So, in honor of hitting the 50 lb loss mark, I updated my progress pictures below! The first ones were taken around my heaviest at 245 ish with the later ones taken this morning.

199.0 lb Lost so far: 51.0 lb.    Still to go: 29.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
