WOW!
I was SHOCKED this morning when I finally hopped on the scale and saw I was down 4 pounds! SHOCKED! The boy commented that I didn’t seem happy about it. I was, but I was also in complete disbelief.
When I got to the meeting I did indeed reached and exceeded my goal weight. So I finally, after 16 months, I got the coveted Maintenance Book. 😀 Now I have 6 weeks to figure out how to maintain and after that, as long as I’m not 2 pounds above my goal weight, I will reach Lifetime. The perk of Lifetime is that I will no longer have to pay for meetings (as long as I’m not more than 2 pounds over of course).
The leader made me stand up in from of everyone and talk. I had been practicing in my head what I wanted to say – about my revelations about not eating enough fat and the resulting skewed points and tracking everything, etc. Unfortunately, I get so nervous talking in front of people that I ended up just babbling, but I think I got out what I wanted to say.
Of course, a big part of this was my introduction of the GoWear Fit and tracking my calories. If you are interested in the data that this device tracks, here is a summary log of my past week.
I’m changing my goals this next week from consuming 1500 calories to 1700 calories and my weight loss goals down to 1 pound from 1.5 pounds per week. It should make it a bit more livable as I work towards my final 5 pounds to get to my personal goal weight.
And a big congratz to the boy who also lost 4 pounds this week and has lost a total of 109 pounds!
Congrats!! What a wonderful accomplishment!
That’s Wonderful! Congratulations on reaching there!
Congratulations!!! That’s great news! I’m so proud of you 🙂 All your hard work is paying off!!

CONGRATS on hitting goal!!! That is so amazing and such a huge accomplishment – WTG, serioulsy! I am so impressed.
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on hitting your goal! You must feel super great! 🙂
Your attitude towards eating and exercise is so healthy. I love it how you know your boundaries and set realistic goals.
I looked at that GoWear Fit Summary Log. OMG, it’s soOo cool! It really tracks everything you need to know about your intakes and outtakes. Even if someone wasn’t trying to lose weight it’s a good tracker to see what they’re consuming.
Again great job on hitting your goal Melissa!!
Thanks so much Leng. Yeah, the GoWear Fit is just amazing. I love coming in to work each morning and uploading my armband to see my sleep efficiency. Fascinating!
I was just talking to my husband about how useful this will be when I finally go into maintainence mode. So much less to “figure out”.
