Seth Cumulative Loss: 23.3

Another milestone this week: 30 pounds!  YAY!

I got Seth's consent to start including his results both to help keep him motivated and because I'm really REALLY proud of how well he's doing.  He's 16.8 pounds from his lightest (pre-marital) weight of 159 pounds.  Go Seth!!

I have somewhat farther to go.  My lightest was 140, and that leaves me 21.2 to go if I want to see that figure again. (Double meaning!  Figure!  Ha!  Look!  I'm clever!  Moving on.)  We'll see if I get there.

I picked up a cheap pair of jeans this past week because my old ones were quite literally falling off.  The new ones are size 12 and fit reasonably well, but I wasn't all that choosy since I will hopefully not be wearing them for very long.  I just needed an 'in between' pair to get me through until I can get into my size 10's.

Funny, that.  I could have sworn I had a whole pile of size 12 pants lying about in a bin somewhere, but I've searched every closet and bin in the house to no avail.  Size 10's - bunches.  Size 8's - oodles.  No 12's, though.

I suppose that means I just have to lose some more inches.

I've got to say, though, having 2 babies really does change the shape of your body.  When I was last this weight, there was a lot less tummy to squeeze into my pants.  I also used to have these contraptions called abdominal muscles to hold it back.  (Now, where did those get to?)  I have to wonder if the 10's will ever really fit properly.

Hopefully the exercise program starting in December will help with the sad lack of abdominal musculature.  At this point I'm somewhat surprised I haven't been recruited for Pillsbury ads.  Tee-hee.

In any case, I'm going to be pretty motivated this week to see if I can break into the 150's by next week.  Recently the weekly losses haven't been that great, but this week I pulled off a 2 pound loss.  If I can do it again, Goodbye 160's, Hello 150's.  Oh wait.  That means I lose another Weight Watchers point.

Damn.

On that depressing note, I take my leave. Wish me willpower!
