I was like "up where?" Forgot all about the spreadsheet and entered my info, i know its late but better than never..btw is there a meaning. Behind your cupcake tattoo?

Hi guys, just thought I'd share some happy news. I am now down to 141, and when I put it into my little tracker thing, it told me I have officially hit the 40 pound loss mark since I first started trying to lose weight after my freshman year of college about 3.5 years ago. I was so in denial about how heavy I was back then that I never could've admitted to myself that I needed to lose 40 pounds, it's really amazing when I think back on it. The fear of admitting that was in part due to the fact that I deep down believed I wouldn't have the drive or motivation to do the work to lose all of it, but here I am. I can't believe it-- it makes me really proud of myself. My goals have always been in 10 lb increments, so it was just such a surprise to look and see a 40 pound total. By the end of the journey that number could well be 50, which is something I really can't get my head around.

I usually wear dresses to work, but today I decided I wanted pants since I'm lazy and haven't shaved in forever, but when I pulled out a pair of my work pants I realized that they were literally falling off my body-- no way could I wear those to work. These things used to be so tight I had to stop wearing them for fear that they would rip! I then pulled out a second pair that I used to wear more often and it was the same thing-- they were falling off. The bad news was that I had to show up to work with furry legs (luckily I'm blonde), and that I no longer have any work pants, but the good news is that I have actually reached a point where there is physical evidence beyond the number on the scale that my body has gotten smaller, which I really need, because when i look in the mirror I see the exact same thing I saw 3 years ago. I'm torn between whether to reward myself with some new pants or wait until I finish the challenge and hit my goal before buying them!

yeah VDH!

I am going back downwards after my ups from predisone. Oh happy day!!!!

Lol, Cheeriloos. Yay on your new low!! The cupcake tattoo- I am a baker and love to make and decorate cupcakes especially mini cupcakes!, although I'm not that great at decorating, I would love to have my own cupcake biz one day (with a lot more practice!!!) but I'm not sure if I would like it as a career, you know? It is definitely a passionate hobby of mine for now.

WTG, VDH and Zoesmom! Keep it up!

I'm up 162 today, grr. Definitely water weight from drinking last night. I cannot wait to reach 150 so I can ditch the scale, lol.

I HATEEEEEE that drug! I hope you are off of it? I was on 60mg nearly a year and put on 40 pounds. Plus other side effect like I was totally crazy, it really messed with my mind as well (and my mind is crazy enough )

Good morning

Down 3lbs this week and only 3 more lbs to go until I hit my goal for this challenge! I have to make this a quick on this morning as I am about to run out the door. I will be back for personals later! Have a great day everyone

Went on vacation this week to a resort where they fed us like crazy. I tried to be good...but the scale was still up when I got home. You can only be so good, lol. At least I ran every day when I was gone!

Anyways, finally back to my old weight today, so at least I don't have to post a gain.

WTG, Tori/Cheeriloos on your new lows! I love that feeling!

Hiya, Sum!

Holy cow, Suzukigirl! 3 more lbs?! That is awesome! So proud of ya!

Jessica- Yay for getting back to our old weights after vacay! Kudos for still keeping up with your running!

No gain or loss this week, I'll take it!!! Hope everyone had a (OP) good week!

Oh yeah, been off for about 3 or 4 weeks now? Maybe? Problem is, I packed on SEVENTEEN pounds in the short time I was on it...and now it is taking FOREVER to get back down. Oh lord I hate that crap :|

I've hit my goal here. (it was to reach 245) I was 244 this morning. I've joined several challenges. I will try to remember to keep filling in here each week but I'm so happy I reached my goal and much sooner than I expected.

Great job only believe!!
