20-Week Fitness Challenge: Week 3, Day 19

I am now 200 pounds! at the start of the challenge I was 210. I will be so happy when I am under 200, right now to me that feels like breaking the sound barrier, LOL.

Last night we saw a bowflex commercial, the one with the 49 year old grandma who looks like she's 30ish, and the boys were all, Mom you should get a bowflex, that lady lost 17 pounds in 5 weeks! I laughed and said hey I just might lose just as much working out at the Y, I've lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks.

I'm losing a little over 3 pounds a week, which my doctor says is fine given my weight. and I may lose even more until I am out of the obese weight range. When I am within 20-40 pounds of my goal my weight loss may slow down to 1-2 pounds a week because it won't take as much energy to move around as it does now so I will have less calories burned per activity then.

I went to the Y this morning by myself and got my workout in. The rest of the day's exercise is just walking, doing my steps. as of right now I've done 4792 steps.
