I have been tracking my weight using Spark People and when I started out they made the goal of 142 lbs for me. I don’t know how they decide the goal weight but it is within the middle of the normal BMI range, so I’m good with it.
I’m very excited to share that on my weigh-in today I have hit my half way mark.
Here is a look back at how I’ve done it.
Recognizing my sin and letting God be my comfort instead of food.
Last week’s weight: 164.5
This week’s weight: 163 lbs.
Total weight loss this year: 21 lbs.

Only 21 more to go!
All by God’s grace!

Thanks, Tina! It has been 1 lb at a time here. Sometimes more and sometimes less, but it seems slow is best. Can’t wait to hear your progress as you keep working on it!
