Weigh-in no. 36: so many things to celebrate!

weigh-in no. 36 (-2.6)
Starting weight:   327.0
Last week:           277.8
This week:           275.2    
Loss of                  - 2.6
Total Loss           -  51.8 lbs

I actually saw 1 lb less on the scale yesterday (I've been weighing a little more during the week than usual trying to pay closer attention to my nutritional/caloric balance) and I know I ate under my caloric limit yesterday, but for some reason, the protein I had has decided to extend its normal length of stay.  Oh well.  A 2.6 lb loss still ain't bad!! 

In addition to the loss this week, there's other things that have made this week amazing and marks the celebration of several things:

1) I've lost 51.8 lbs!! 
(and when I am at 53 lbs lost, I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal weight!)

2) I am now wearing a size 20 (US) jeans, down from 26/28 when I started this journey

largest size 28 jeans decreasing to current size 20 jeans
I got the idea for this picture from

4) Jim and I booked our flights, car rental and hotel for 4 days in Cornwall for my birthday!  
Our first real vacation together!

I'm most looking forward to spending time in St. Ives (photo from http://www.cornwalls.co.uk)

5) I got a new (to me) car that I love and that gets about 60mpg!

her name is Nina and she's a 2003 Peugeot 307sw

How's your week been? 
Anything worth celebrating?

    Congratulations. You are nearly in the lower half of this 10 lb. section. My goals when in Weight Watchers were the upper part of the digit, then the lower part, then the new digit. You are doing so well.

    Congratulations! You are doing so awesome. I like the jeans idea for sure. I am .4 lb from a 60 lb loss and I hope I can get there next week. Wish me luck.
