221.5 this morning!  Couldn't believe it so of course I weighed myself several times with the same result. With this laryngitis/sorethroat or whatever it is I have I haven't had much of an appetite and this is the result. And all of a sudden I have this huge window of hope that has opened up in front of me - in just 5 1/2 pounds I will be half way there. -51 pounds is my half way mark. Whenever I go for a walk or am on the treadmill I always know I will finish when I get to the half way mark because it's a simple repeat of what I've already accomplished. It almost seems like it's a downhill effort. So for me - reaching the half way point on this journey is enormous - it's all downhill from here. I know it won't be - I know there will be plateaus and challenges and who knows what in front of me - but look how far I've come. All I have to do is just keep doing what I've been doing, and I'll get there. And I''m guessing that I won't hold on to 221 - it'll probably bump back up when I start eating normally again - but I've seen the number on my scale and that means it'll be back. Feeling good. Feelling hopeful.
