I didn't even think about the milestone when I weighed yesterday. I was 152.8. Sept 1st of last year, when I started the diet, I weighed 223. So I am now down 70 pounds. Sort of - I am not sure I can legitimately claim to be below 153 yet. I have been below 155 the last few weigh ins but this is the first below 153. But whether it is a truly legit weight yet or not, I have been on the scale and weighed 70 pounds lighter than I did almost a year ago.
