alrighty then.

so a little over a month ago, i began letting you in on my weight loss/gain/loss journey. . . i've definitely not lost as much as i would have like by this point, but over all, i have lost weight!

here are all my stats:

heaviest "nope, I'm not pregnant" weight: 206 lbs.  {ugh. seriously?}
Weight Watchers starting weight (september 2010): 197 lbs.
blog's "weekly weigh in" starting weight: 189.9
today's weight: 182.8!

since i've been blogging about my weight loss: -7.1 lbs
and my over all weight loss: -23.3 lbs!!


chancellor and i have decided on a date for our simple wedding ceremony and a location for our super freakin' fabulous honeymoon. that date is november 6th, and that location is jamaica. which means bikini, bikini, bikini. and drinks and food and tropicalness, among many other things!!

so here's my immediate goal - be able to wear a bikini on a fabulous beach in jamaica without someone saying, "who the hell told that girl she's allowed to wear a bikini?" according to professional weight loss people, 2 lbs a week is the maximum "healthy" amount of weight to lose. that means around 30 lbs by the time i'm on a plane to paradise. that puts me weighing less than i did in high school. i am COMPLETELY ok with that.

chancellor and i have already taken advantage of the summer clearances, and purchased all of our clothes and such for the trip, 3 1/2 months early. i happened to buy my tropical wardrobe at least one size smaller than i am now. which means i HAVE to lose something, but i won't cry if i don't lose it all. eventually i will!  however, i did buy a bikini, and this definitely gives me the motivation to lose all 30 lbs. i can do it!!
