Weight Loss journey

October 3: Yeah! I dropped 0.5 lb. I guess my rut is over! I was so excited when I saw this as I was getting a little discouraged. I have been eating all my food groups, watching my portion size and I was not dropping anything. Furthermore, I have been doing heavy duty, serious gardening for the last week. I'm trying to get in all my plants/trees before the frost hits. I should be done today. 
Maybe I gained some muscle by all that gardening and that's why I haven't been able to drop any weight? I'm pretty sure that's what happened! At least I am getting toned (somewhere in there).
So, it's been 2 1/2 weeks since I've started to lose weight seriously and I've lost 6.5 lbs. I think that's incredible. I have 16.5 lbs to go to reach my goal weight of 140 lbs. I've given myself until the end of the year to accomplish this.
Current weight: 156.5
Down; 0.5 lb
