Have not seen you update in a while...hope you are all right
Oh yes, still hanging in there. I've been updating the front page. I just got bored updating every day, I guess. LOL! That and I've hit a stall, so it's not exactly exciting. BUT, I've lost an inch off my waist and that thrills me!
I'm in a really good head space right now. I think once this wedding I'm attending in March passes I will be one content little camper. I had it in my head that I was going to be 135 pounds for this wedding. I'm not going to be. I have to let that go. If it weren't for that darn nagging deadline in my head, I would really be very happy with where I am body wise.
I took my measurements this morning, and maybe that's where my good mood is coming from. I read yesterday that the "ideal woman", whoever she is , measures 36-26-36. My measurements are 36-28-36. Those are the first numbers I've seen that validate the way I feel. I know that doesn't make sense, but my weight really bothers me. It doesn't match the way I feel.
So yep...I'm in a good head place today and thanks for asking!
I am soo happy to know! It's weird how we get connected to persons in these forums.
I know how you feel about the numbers/deadlines but I think we have to get to the place where we feel satisfied with our bodies. I have gotten to that place now. Sure I would ideally like to drop 2 more pounds but is that going to make a whole lot of difference - I don't think so. As such, I am being content and focusing on enjoying this new chapter in my life. The chapter where the clothes fit, the shoes look hot, I am fitter than ever, can run 30mins straight, can complete a tough 60min class and not feel winded..........
I am glad you are feeling good about yourself. You deserve it after all you have been through recently. Let go of the deadline and enjoy your new body!
Ok, with that wedding looming, I'm kicking it into gear. I've accepted a challenge at my gym to increase cardio so I'm I'm running 3 miles AND doing spin class M/W/F and I'm running on the elliptical T/TH as well as running stairs at work. Oh yeah, and lifting too. LOL! I'm tired! Seriously, I think a nap is in my future for this afternoon.

Ooh! Exciting! I love the new lows. Even if they don't come back for a week or so, I know they are there. My new low today was 178.6. I hope by fall I'm seeing your low of 148!

I have been in the 150's since, 11/1 according to my mini goal achievements. It took me 3 and a half months to get out!! This is so welcome!
Welcome to the 170's!! I was so happy to be there! 174 was just "overweight" for me. That's about when I started to feel really, really good about myself. "Overweight" felt normal, and it was. It's lovely just being able to fit in with a crowd. And you have a few inches on you, so I bet the 170's are lovely!
OMG! You are in the 140s!! I know this is weird, since I don't post super often, but you are very inspirational, and I when I have a chance I was seeing your progress in this thread a few weeks ago, when you were 151. And then just by coincidence a few minutes ago I was reading another thread, that you happened to have posted in, and I saw that your ticker said you were at 148! I am so happy for you! And I wanted to come over to this thread and say congrats!! Whoo-hoo!
