My new clippie...

[ohiominnie]

Well, I'm officially up to the 25 pound mark! Whew! I grabbed my new clippy yesterday at weigh in. Not sure I'll get to the 30 pound clippy, I'm evaluating what "goal" is for me. My BMI is smack dab in the middle of "healthy weight" so that's good. I'm thinking I'll just keep following the Weigh Down principles and God will adjust my weight to where He wants it to be. I've noticed that as I've gotten closer to goal I'm eating more frequently as I'm truly hungry more frequently.
Will keep on keeping on....I want to maintain this healthy lifestyle and not backslide.

Thanks all for the encouragement. You've been a great support.

Laurajean,

Weird as it is to consider, I'm not sure!
I always thought 130 would be a nice number to strive for. But as I've gotten closer I'm feeling that really I'm not in control of what my goal weight should be. God knows my body better than anyone or any chart that man created. So I think I'll just keep following hunger/satisfied and pray when I'm tempted to eat too often or too much. Philippians 4:13...I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I doubt my end weight will make me look emaciated (at least I hope not!) But I still do have padding here and there that I feel that God is working on getting rid of for me.

I just ate lunch....Mickey macaroni and cheese and an apple. Much less than I used to eat....only about 1/3 of my normal serving of mac-n-cheese, and less than 1/4 of an apple. I'm satisfied. Sipping my water now instead of nursing a Coke.

I'm not sure WHEN to claim my "goal" clippie!! I guess when I get to the point where I'm no longer losing, but rather maintaining or going up a little/down a little each week. In the last 16 weeks I've lost every week except two...one time I went up .5 pounds, and then the cruise which caused a 3 pound gain that I lost within several days. That tells me that I'm still not to God's goal for my body. And I'm fine with that. I just wish I knew b/c then I could buy clothes!!!
