After updating my progress chart and posting about the things that I’m grateful for this year, I was a bit discouraged by how little weight I’ve actually lost this year. And while realizing that the fact that I’ve maintained my loss is an accomplishment in and of itself, there’s still the part of me that wishes she could say that I was at goal, or that I’d lost X number of pounds this year – where X is a huge number, of course.
I decided to look at my progress graph (created from my Excel chart) to see what it looks like now. I’ve been so far off track and so much of the excitement has disappeared that I haven’t looked at it in quite a while. Even though I haven’t lost a lot of weight this year and even though the line has gone a bit crazy towards the right side of the graph, I think I have a lot to be proud of – most especially that the ending plot point is not right back up and parallel to the beginning plot point. I’ve come a long way, baby.

You have so much to be proud of. You are one of the first blogs about weight loss I have ever read, and truly inspired me to do what i did. Being 150 pounds overweight is so hard to deal with! You have done it, and although you might not be at the weight you would like, it looks like you maintained all year, which is amazing in it of itself. I am happy for you, and I have read how tough it has been. I am glad you see just how awesome you are
Wow Pamela! I was always inspired by your weight loss, but looking at your graph makes it that much more amazing! Congrats on your progress and keep up the good work!
That is remarkable! You have so mcuch to be proud of, Pamela. You are an inspiration to everyone that reads your blog. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
What an incredible weight loss you’ve achieved! I’m jealous, in the most complimentary way possible.
Even tho the weight may not be going down as quickly as you would like, you remain an inspiration to people like me. And, the chart is going DOWN. You are awesome and should be so proud of your accomplishments. I’m proud for you!
Thanks, guys! You’re the greatest and are going to make me cry! I hope you all know how much you are appreciated!
You absolutely have much to be proud of! Great job!
