Hi all
I'm down another lb to a total of 99 lbs lost. At the beginning of the year, I told my BF that I wanted to lose 30 lbs this year (weight 289 at the time). I ended up switching BCPs and gained 10 lbs. It took me 3 months for even 1 lb of that 10 to come off. Anyway, since May I have lost 34 lbs. When I lose 1 more lb, I will have lost 100 total. When I lose 6 more lbs, I will have reached my goal that I set at the beginning of the year. I'm excited
I also have to look fabulous for my wedding so any weight I lose in the next 2 months will help.
I also wanted to mention that last night I was at the gym and I was staring at myself in the mirror. I know I look different. I asked DF if I looked different and he said "you look good, but you've always looked good". Sweet
I can really see the changes in just a couple months. I know the big change is from when I tried on my wedding gown when I first bought it to when I tried it on a couple weeks ago.
And I don't always have time to do it but I wanted to do some personals
dogpal - Welcome back
I know it may be frustrating to find out your "real" weight but at least you know where you are going from there, down!
ammi - I have been doing well and I know hungry days happen. As TOM approaches, I feel dread as I know hungry days happen more often. I have also had days where I had trouble sleeping and couldn't. I never realized how important sleep was until I couldn't sleep. Also, I don't think I mentioned it but you look fabulous
melissa - congratulations on -3, that is awesome even if it is nice when it is more
zelma - I hope you feel better and good luck! It seems like it has been forever since the anouncement of the finalists until now. No matter what happens, you have done a great job.
Brenda - we all have little bumps in the road and sodium can cause massive weight gain. Pigging out every once in a while happens, just don't let it happen too often
trixiepixie - Welcome
kim - I have totally been there where you kind of feel restless, you don't want to do what you've been doing but you do it anyway. You don't want to eat what you know is what you should eat. I am currently working my way out of a similar funk but basically it involves just working through it and doing your best. I hope it gets better for you.
katt - Congrats on getting some home stuff done. I still have things in boxes from my move last year. Every once in a while my DF will mention it but he has been quiet for now. Not my fault I had a whole truck load to move when I moved and he had like 2 boxes
Valerie - Don't beat yourself up for the Chinese buffet, it happens and I think weight loss requires improvement not perfection. I'm also sorry to hear you are frustrated with your DH's plans. Maybe try to talk to him about it when he isn't so excited about the idea and maybe bring up the idea of saving extra money he makes for home improvements in the future? I know it can be frustrating when financial goals don't meet.
Misti - I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Claim Jumper. They do make their booths look smaller and I remember being worried on my first visit there as well. I hope you feel better as well.
Wyllenn - I know it is good to try on your clothes and see how much of a difference there is between now and then. I'm kind of bummed myself because I saved one of my biggest sized pants and I can't find them now! I think I might've given them away when I moved. Oh well. I know a size 32 jean and me don't mix
I also think it is part of my struggle to lose nearly 100 lbs and still to be viewed as morbidly obese. It is a struggle but i'm working through it and I know where I am at compared to where I was.
Princesspuffypants - Congrats on your loss! That is really awesome
Sharon - congrats on your loss! Wow a lot of losers this week
Hello to everyone else
Hope everyone is doing well and I think we may need a fairy crud mother to get rid of the crud feeling
It feels wonderful doesn't it!
