43.5 No exercise yesterday, because I was too tired, but I'll get back on track on that today.

A funny thing happened the other day... not sure if I should take it as a compliment or just my sister's lack of ability to guess at weight, but I told her and my mother I'd met my mini-goal and they were excited for me. "Yeah, only sixty more pounds to go," I mumbled. "What?!" my sister said. She was very disturbed. She thought that sixty pounds was way too much for me to lose and that to lose that much would lead me to be skinny in an unhealthy way. (at 5'4", she's two inches shorter than me and weighs 108 lbs). I asked her how much she thinks I weigh, and she theorized that I must weigh at least 180, because I can't possibly want to weigh less than 120 lbs. (Since, as an adult, I have never weighed less than that when healthy, and at 120 was very, very skinny.) Ahahahahaha! she was upping her guess to 180 lbs! :) I thought that was cute. I told her I WISH I weighed 180 lbs. I didn't reveal how much I actually weigh and she refused to guess. :)

198.0 lb Lost so far: 9.0 lb.    Still to go: 68.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
