I can't believe it - I've lost 60 lbs! When I started this journey exactly 10 months ago, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to lose even 5 lbs. Now - even with 40 pounds still to go - I know I can make it. My ideal goal is to be 165 lbs. by 7/22/06 (my 25th birthday). That means I'm aiming to lose 40 lbs. in 9 months (which shouldn't be so bad - since I just lost 60 lbs. in 10 months).

I know I'm rambling - but I'm just ecstatic!

No fad diets - no food restrictions - just trying to eat sensibly and get some level of exercise (and enough sleep) and the weight is slowly melting off!

Somebody pinch me! And that was another bonus - my DF (dear fiance) tried to pinch my bottom this morning to get me up out of bed - and he couldn't find a spot loose enough to pinch on the lower half of my bottom! He eventually managed - but I was laughing so hard I was already up anyway.

Yay me

Congrats!!! What an inspiration you are. Good luck on reaching your goal!!

Well done!

Wow! That's fantastic! You must be so happy!

I think it's great that you are losing slow but sure - imo it's the best way and more likely to stay off.

Wishing you good luck to lose the next 40 lbs - you can do it.!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift - that why they call it the present!

Fantastic!!! It really is an inspiration -- I want to be able to post about my losses one day and seeing others do it makes me believe I can too! Good luck, and let us know when you lose 100 and get to goal!

Congrats thats so great!

Yay you! You've inspired me today. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome!

Woo hoo! I hope when I lose weight I can actually GAIN a butt! I don't have one now!

Isn't it amazing how effective just plain 'ol healthy eating can be??

Congrats!

Wow... that is just fantastic... congratulations

Thanks everyone! I'm still hoping to continue losing during the holiday season - if I can get past that will be a start. It's gonna take some work to change the sugarplums that want to dance in my head into . Although - have you every TASTED a sugarplum? My dad got some victorian ones from a ritzy store - they were the WORST THING EVER! So maybe it won't be that hard


Actually - I DID gain a butt! Before losing weight I had this giant thing that kind of came out of the middle of my back and disappeared back into the lower half of my thighs . It was big and wide and lumpy - kind of like having a hipo following me everywhere!

But in the last couple of months - and the last few weeks in particular - this has morphed into an early J-Lo booty ! Now that I lost the back thigh fat, it actually starts and ends where it should - it's perky and nicely shaped - and although I'm still somewhat heavy it's definately getting toned !

I'd say I'm about halfway to having an onion a** - the kind that makes men cry when they see it (nice quote I borrowed from Zane).

When I finally post my progress pics (I've taken at least one for almost every month) you should finally see the difference. I'll make that my goal for the weekend.

Big Congratulations that is excellent!

I can now think of an onion as a new motivation tool! Haha! Thanks for sharing your story - you are very inspiring!!

Congratulations on being so successful!

Congrats! Crossed that border myself not long ago, and boy does it feel good!
