Seventeen Week Weigh-In
It’s Monday again (it’s funny how fast they come around), time to exhale as hard as possible and step on the scale. Today I am 153, which is a -3 pound loss for the week and puts me down -54.8 for the 17 week period (which is -26.37% of my original body weight).
I leave for Big Sur/Monterey this Friday and back in this post on June 7, I mention how I’d really like to weigh at least 159 before I fly. So I surpassed that goal by several pounds, yippee! I’m very excited about this trip and perhaps a wee bit apprehensive about staying on plan, but I think I can do it. For once I’m looking forward to a vacation for reasons that have NOTHING to do with food, which may really be a first in my life!
Photo is of me going biking in my new bike shirt courtesy my fabulous husband — ignore the bad helmet head hair please! 
Josephine! You’re doing GREAT! You look GREAT! You are going to have such an awesome time in California! I want to see a “before” picture
Keep it up..
Inspired always,
Miriam

I got my 8.5 yesterday and I thank you again, huge big thanks!!!, for your encouragement earlier on when I had that 5 mile barrier to break through. You look so sharp and how I envy your thick long hair!

All of the hard work is so very worth it…you’ll have a great vacation, don’t forget to get a pic. of you running on the beach! Hmmm…I just figure you’ll do that for some reason!

You look FABULOUS and I’m so proud. What was it? 24% loss of bodyweight? Amazing! And I loved your post from a couple of days ago about the journalling and the positive self talk. And the planning. That’s where I let myself down. Must plan more (gonna write it down)
Wowsas!!! Congrats on the loss. Have a fabulous trip. I am not at all worried about your choices while you are gone…
Nice bike, BTW. I just got a Trek last month. We should resuscitate a bicycling thread on 3FC.
Just wanted you to know that you are a huge inspiration to me!
You look so incredibly HAPPY in this photo - yeah, you look great, but what really impresses me is that clearly you FEEL great too!
Congrats to you!
Congrats on your weight loss! I hope you have/had an amazing & well-earned vacation!
