I'm down to 168 this week. It was a great week with a 4.5 lb loss. I did not think this week was going to end up with that much of a loss as I stayed the same weight for three days in a row.

If so, I may finish ahead of schedule, which would be great. At this point, I have been having some thoughts that could derail my progress if I'm not careful. I am looking so much better now and thinking that I'm happy right were I am right now. I have to keep telling myself that if I were to stop here, I'm still overweight by 13 lbs so I'm still in the danger zone as far as my health goes. I also know that I would not be giving myself any safety zone for any weight fluctuation so it is not a good weight to be at. I need to stay with it to win it!!! I still have plenty of fat in to pinch as well so I know that
