75 down, 10 to go. Home stretch and back on track.
*note* I posted pics as a reply in the next post.
Life is totally different now that I lost so much weight. Old friends don't even recognize me now. Women treat me totally differently now, I'm still not used to it but could definitely get use to it haha.
They say the last 10 lbs is the hardest, and it's true for me. Now that I'm not fat, it's hard to muster up the motivation to really finish my goal.. Actually I already reached my original goal but decided to keep going another 10 or 15 lbs. I went from 245 one and a half years ago to 168 today. I want to get to 160 but will probably keep going to 155. It seems like every 5 lbs I lose the better I look, but I know there will be a limit somewhere and I don't want to look too skinny. It's just been hard to get the motivation because I already feel attractive now. Plus I started a new department at work that is very physically demanding. Walking 10 miles a day, climbing in and out of a crane a few hundred times a day. Don't get me wrong, it's great aerobics, and I am losing weight again now, but when I first started I put the diet on pause because I wasn't used to the increase in physical activity and didn't wanna push myself too hard. I actually gained 5 lbs.. But now I realize I must have gained muscle because after getting back down to the weight I was at 2 months ago, all my clothes fit better and everyone says I lost more weight. So I must have gained muscle and lost fat to end up at the same weight.
Anyways I love life now, even though I'm still single... Women look at me way different and are flirty. I'm just holding out for the right one. It feels great to be healthy and have energy and want to walk for miles in the park every day. It's definitely a whole new life for me.
