week 2 & doing ok

so ticker requires a password now to update it's tickers & i had lost my last one :( so i had to redo it. the only upside is that now i can see the difference in the tickers between last week & this week. which is the only obnoxious thing about the new ticker coding, it over rides from the previous week. *shrugs* whatever. at least i was able to get a ticker, format it to look the way i want, & get it updated on my site.

i am happy that i'm finally losing weight. ok, so it took the eminent threat of surgery & the remote possibility of death to make any of the fat mosey it's way on down the road. & at this point in time i'm being mildly optimistic because of the fact that, as you all can see from the ticker below, i have quite a ways to go yet before i reach even my tier 1 goal, which i'm not going to stop at, especially if i keep shrinking! :) at 5'4" i'm still going to look like a pretty big porker at 176. then again, the last time i knowingly weighed anywhere near that i was in 8th grade & weighed 180lbs, so i have no clue in actuality.

on the upside, once i lose another 15.7 lbs, or get down to 249.5, my star will be halfway to my catepiller's head. yippee! my bmi will also be down to 42.8, which is quite a drop from the starting bmi of 55.4.

so, cautiously optimistic is how i'm going to proceed.
