Okay, so the Lose2Win contest final weigh in was today.  I stripped down to the bare minimum clothing that I dared, and headed to the gym. I got funny looks walking into Pavitt's Gym and out of the pouring rain and low 50 temps in shorts (the glare from my bright white legs was blinding, and the hair on them didn't tone them down at all), T shirt, and bright green flip flops, but it paid off.  According to them, I've lost 2.5 pounds this last week.  I'm sure a lot of that had to do to the fact that I usually weigh in in whatever I've been wearing throughout the day, but I will take it!  That makes it a total of 18.7 pounds lost in the 13 weeks of the contest, that's 5.5% of my body weight.  I've lost 23.1 lbs since I signed up for Weight Watchers online, and 29.4 lbs since the beginning of January when I stepped on the scale and decided the ridiculousness MUST stop.  My chart zig zags up and down but consistently goes down so that is what is important.

Other excellent news is I can now wear my wedding ring.  Yay!  It's still a tight fit, but it doesn't feel like I have to cut my finger off to get the ring on and off and that's a very good thing.  It's all tarnished and dingy looking but it's the real deal and it's nice to be wearing it again.  I've missed it so.

I also went to the chiropractor today for the first time in 2 or 3 years.  It was scary, but the pain in my hip isn't getting better with the weight loss and I'm tired of feeling trapped and crippled in my body.  So, it's time to suck it up and do something about it.  I didn't get good news, or really any news that surprised me, but I went and that's all that matters.  I am hoping to be a little more mobile by the end of the month.
