Week 5: My First Goal!

I reached my first short term goal!  In case you were wondering, I am now officially under 300 pounds, which I have not been in two and a half years.  My actual weigh-in tonight was 295.9!  I lost another 5.3 pounds this week.  I am so thrilled with the progress that I have made so far.  I am exercising about three times per week for 30 minutes each.  I notice that it is becoming easier and easier to work out, the more time I go on.  I still have some problems with my knees and hips, but even they are doing better overall.  My next goal is 288 pounds.  That might seem like a strange number, but it is the initial weight that I was when I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting back in 2004.  Once I hit that goal, I will be smaller than I have been in 6 years!
