Good news on the scale front this morning. . . my scale was the same as yesterday! I was worried that it would go up after I did Boot Camp, or that the number I saw yesterday was just a fluke (water weight, etc.). But, 2 days in a row is a good thing!I was talking to my dad on the phone last night, and it suddenly dawned on me that . . I am only TEN pounds overweight. (OK, 10.2, but who's counting?!) :) This is like a miracle to me. The amount I have left to lose is what a lot of normal/thin-ish people want to lose. That is just incredible to me. My band works like a charm!! Well, with some participation from me, anyway! But it's just so SO so so much better than having to do this without any help.
I had another realization recently. One that took a loooonnnngggg time for me to get to. The other day, it suddenly clicked that I am over PP. Definitely a much better place for me to be!

I was just looking at your ticker the other day and thinking the same thing. I wonder though if you body will be ready to stop...bc I can see you passing your goal...esp if you keep working out and eating like you do!
I hope so. . I'd be really psyched to get to 145 (minus 10.2 will put me at 155 -- I am 5'6). But it's slow going and I'm really having to be careful about calories to keep losing at this point. I feel like the loss will just taper off at some point.
Congrats!
Love your blog and am so inspired to follow in your footsteps when I'm banded in THIRTEEN days!

Congratulations... this is wonderful news. And you've made so many positive changes. My question: does it feel like a true lifestyle shift now? Does it feel natural?
I hope so for you (and for me....)One day, I would hope to feel like it will all fall into place.
Yes -- the eating thing does really seem natural to me. But, if I had to get an un-fill, I am sure it would be a big struggle not to go back to old ways. On the exercise front, it feels good, but I still have to force myself to get back to the gym/Boot Camp if I miss a few days.
Still, now that my body is looking so much better than it has in years, being so much closer to what I want to look like is really motivating. Knowing that if I keep up with Boot Camp, I'll just keep getting more toned and tighter-looking is a powerful motivator!
Only 10 lbs overweight? Amazing! I am always happy that if the scale doesn't go down, at least it isn't going up, although it is frustrating to be stuck at one weight for a while. You are doing great!
That is soooo awesome Cathrine!!! ONLY 10lbs overweight!!!! Im excited to only be 45lbs overweight I know you are THRILLED to be almost at goal!!!
WOOOOOO! You're so totally... NORMAL. How cool is that!
What is PP
Ok.. am I blind? Amy mentioned your ticker, but I can't find it? Old age or what??
10 lbs huh.. what an amazing accomplishment. You've hit that spot where (I wrote a post about this yonks ago) my thin girlfriends would say.."I have a couple of stubborn kilos to lose...) and I would think.. "A couple!!! Just a couple..? Try 40 then tell me who's in trouble!"
You're amazing, and I hope that 10. something pounds comes off quickly for you.. You will be my first blog bud that has hit their goal weight while I have been reading. Love it (and you ... mwah!!!)
You have done such an amazing job, I am sure you will pass goal. You have made such a change in yourself in the last year, that is something to be so proud of.
Thanks you guys!! PP = Peter Pan . . my ex-boyfriend. Lots about him in earlier posts.

Congrats on the Scale and Non Scale (PP) victories!
10 pounds from goal is so AWESOME! I remember thinking I wish that was me when I would hear friends say they want to lose 10 pounds. Now that is you!!!! Way to go and you have worked so hard at accomplishing your goals! You are beautiful!!!
Be sure to give yourself a wonderful non-food treat for your accomplishment!
