BIGGEST LOSER UPDATE: I am a loser.

Down 2 lbs! 183 on the big dumb doctor scale at the Y (my scale gave me another 1/2 lb loss). I am happy to be going in the right direction again, and happy to contributing to the success of our team. We dropped a little in the standings this week. We're now #3 out of 32 teams. We've got a long way to go, so at this point the board is pretty meaningless. It still is nice to know that we're competitive. I SO WANT TO WIN.

I was thinking about the contest at work yesterday and how I am really losing weight; I am not just trying - I am actually doing it. For the last 10 years I have projected out from January 1st's resolution that I would be a certain weight by my birthday. It was usually 175, since my starting weight was always around 200. I am now 8 pounds away from that "magic" number and my birthday is more than 8 weeks away!! I can really do it this time - and I am confident that I will. It's a happy place.

Congratulations on the half pound loss! Down is always a good direction for that scale to be moving! :)
