I feel as though I am the only person excited to be in the 170s haha. Well for now at least, I'm just glad to be out of the 180s. But more so that I want to get out of them and into the 160s! As of yesterday morning I was 178 but the day before I was 177, so I gotta get back on track! 170s never seemed possible for me because it's what I started out in, only that number started with a 2 not a 1. So 174 will be big for me, its when I will hit my hundred pound lost mark. But its all the more reason to keep going.
so today is the opening day of my gallery- i'm a photographer and i was chosen to be a featured artist at a gallery here in town. today's opening day. and like 3 months ago when i found out about this, i made a goal to have lost 10 lbs by the time my gallery opened so that i could wear this dress i have and feel awesome and confident while i mingle etc.
well today i am exactly the same weight i was when i made that goal.
i am SO mad at myself. i have been 170+ for i think 15 months now? maybe even longer.
i do well for a week or two and then i fall off the wagon. i don't even want to go tonight.
i really hate myself right now. i just don't know what to do.
hey hey hey
don't hate yourself
you have to go tonight, it's such a huge accomplishment!! You should be so proud of yourself!
So put on your dress, or whatever you planned to wear, fix your hair and makeup or whatever it takes and look in the mirror and tell yourself YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. No matter what size. You're going to lose weight to get healthy, it will happen. But tonight is your night and don't let anyone, not even yourself, take that away from you!
Be proud of yourself and know that you deserve to be happy.
Tomorrow, you'll get on the wagon and you'll continue your journey. We'll be here.
Well I finally lost the lb thats been driving me crazy all week!!! man my scale kept going from 174 to 174.5 to 174 to 174.5 allllll week and was driving me insane that it wasnt going lower than finally it went to 173.5 and FINALLY tonite 173!!! lol i think my body was hanging onto alot of water weight though cuz man have i had to pee some 50 times today. LOL. not exactly what everyone wants to know I am sure but its so weird how some days our bodies retain loads of water and others just expells. I really still dont get how our bodies work its Oh so confusing...BUT im happy my scale budged lol (now so long as it keeps goin down I wont be tempted to kick or yell that it must be broken...haha)
I hope you have a great night at your gallery carcar that is so exciting! i am a graphic designer and have assisted with photography myself so I bet that has just got to be the best feeling to have a gallery opening! I wish I could learn full pro photographer and have the $$ for the equipment to do it! haha I'd love to see your work to, I think you should post some!
Hey! Mind if I join you all? I just got into the 170's this week, but I'd like to get out of them ASAP lol... I'm 178 now... I'm really glad to leave the 180's behind that is for sure! Hopefully in about a month I'll be 169!
I'm in I think I'm 171..but I may be in the high 60's but regardless I want in. I wanna get into the 20's so woot! Let's go girls! I excerisize by wrestling my guy friends, sparring with trees, (I see how fast I can go) and I dance my little heart out to techno!
hey ladies! havent chimed in in awhile, i read most of the threads at work but i cant post there the weightloss has slowed down. it seemed like the first 10 pounds melted off, but now im having .5 or 1 pound losses each week. which im happy about, slow and steady wins the race, but i still have that 2 pounds a week mindset.
im in a little bit of a jeans battle right now. my 12's are old and stretched out, and look terrible on me. but i know i havent lost enough to move down to a 10, so its like, do i waste money on more 12's when i hope to be out of them soon, or look like a sack of potatoes in the mean time. argh. but NSV, i bought this cute buttondown from AE a month ago, and couldnt button the last button, so i rocked the cami look for awhile. put the shirt on this week, and buttoned all the buttons!!! so take that spare tire!
carcar, i hope your opening is fabulous. i know youll look great new dress or not. cant wait to here how it goes. and im so jazzed to hear about everyones scale victories! great job ladies.

You could try picking up a pair at a thrift store for a few bucks as opposed to shelling out the big $$$ for brand new ones, or if you have friends about your size you could find out if they have any they aren't wearing that you could borrow?
well the opening went well but there wasn't a huge turn out so i didnt' feel as self conscious.
today i went to a cycling class for the first time! i feel awesome! well, and i also feel like i might puke! it was 5:15 am class! holy cow, huh!
i'm a late sleeper, i like to get up around 8 or 9 if i can. so being up at 4:30 to get ready was a bit insane.
definitely going to need a nap today!
i was 176 yesterday- i've been having some weight gain the last couple of weeks but hopefully it turns around again asap! i've been eating whole grains and drinking tons of water and filling up on lean proteins so we'll see!
