90 LBS DOWN!!! (original goal)
 

Okay so, yesterday was a SUPER extreme yoga class (sweat was pouring, people were dropping on their mats, TEACHERS!!! were falling out of positions).

i weighed myself this morning, a flat, round 179!! no 179.1, no 179 -point-anything.

this means that i have surpassed my original goal of 180 by 1 lb.

Unfortunately i look nowhere near where i thought i would look like when i set the goal of 180, i am still overweight, and still going to push for another 25-35 lbs, which seem so easy now because it's been over 2 years and a complete lifestyle change.

unfortunately, the whole 180 thing really shows how distorted my self image was, i just didn't see how big i had gotten, which is wierd. even now, i don't see myself ANY different from when i was 90 lbs, and a size 16-18. wierd huh?


but 90 LBS???? holy firetrucking batb alls (pardon my french).

did i ever think i would lose 90 lbs? no.

did i ever think i would love eating healthy? no

did i ever think i'd be a size 6-8? NO.

i uploaded pics. the white shift/bandana is the week before i started losing weight, purple dress (i am sorry, i am NOT sober in this picture- its from a party) is the day before i started to lose weight. weighing in at 269 lbs., the black dress, was after i lost about 40-50 lbs (no toning)

the pink shirt is from pre-yoga this evening.

funny thing? i SEE MYSELF THE SAME. (that's how i see myself now).

GAHHH thats fanastic... You've lost pretty much a petite person xD .And from an outsiders point of view, 6-8 is Thin :)...Good luck losing the last 25-35 pounds.

HAHAHAHAH THATS EXACTLY HOW I THOUGHT OF IT THIS MORNING!!

(i'm currently looking for a 90 or so lb friend to take pics with, aka hop into one of my old dresses and see if we can make it work lol

thank you for your encouragement!

My original goal weight was 180lbs also.:) and like you, when i reached it, it was a real eye opener of how big i really was.Congrats on your success.You're in the groove now and can be any weight you want to be :high: Watch you soar :carrot:

Wow! Congrats on your amazing loss. Wishing you all the best in reaching your lower goal!!!

Congrats on all the hard work seeing results!

My friend at work only weighs 102 pounds, to think i have lost two of her, OMG, and i'm still in need of losing a little, worlds better than i was though.

Sorry you just made me think of that though, congrats on the stellar progress. :)

I completely understand that. While a 6-8 in my eyes is thin on other people I wonder what I will see when I am fitting into those sizes. Your an inspiration to keep going with the healthy lifestyle changes to get to a place were you feel comfortable and confident. CONGRATS!!!!!!

First of all, Congrats! And Good Luck on continuing your journey!

OMG! congrats!

congrats on your lost. I do hope I could say that to myself soon.

AMAZING!!!! :congrat: Would love to see pics :)

Congrats on your loss so far. You can do it :)

hey inside me i'll deffinately post (if i figure it out) when i get home tonight as i don't have anything on my work computer!

Congratulations !

Congratulations on coming this far - you'll be able to find a comfortable weight in no time!!! :)

see original post!!

OMG GIRL!!!! How can you not see the difference? YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! :cp: Thanks for posting the pics, you look great and so fit!! Truly! You are such an inspiration! :)

thank you thank you x a million.

i've always seen myself how i see it now, i've always been ACTIVE. i have gotten smaller physically, and im getting little, flabby abs or my "flabs" as i refer to them. gotta get on the ab ripper x, the issue with yoga is it tones from the inside out, so your muscles are built under the layer of fat, as opposed to over, or like "intermittent" between it (so like the mortadella effect) ha ha

i'm thinking of moving into maintenance at 160 and letting the scale adjust downwards as i up calories for maintenance.

Congrats! What an inspiration!!! :)

You look beautiful!! Such a difference!! Congrats on what you've accomplished so far!!!

You are an inspiration! 90 lbs is also my goal- but I'm still 60 lbs away. :)

Congrats! 90 pounds is amazing!

You look amazing!!! Trust me, you do not look the same! Way to go, total inspiration....:)

Wow, great job! I can't weight till I get to make a post like this :)

great job darling!!!

You look really great and I really like your hair color darker!

WOW....u look great. I hope to do the same
