Horray Lori!
That's awesome... you're doing so great despite all the tempations. Keep up the good work :0)

Lori123321,

Congratulations! Isn't it an awesome feeling to sign the board. So glad you were able to go pamper yourself you definitely deserve it. We all know this is hard work but all the healthy rewards and little things we do for ourselves is surely worth it.

The Dr. office called with my blood results, sugar levels good, cholesterol good. They would like to see the good cholesterol down 3 points (exercise) I can do it! They were very pleased and so am I.

I was so hoping to sign the 60 board today but missed by 1 pound. I will be there by Friday (I hope). I will be leaving for vacation on Sat. and don't want to leave without signing that darn board.

I think it is a pain having to go buy new bra's a leopard print sounds like it might make it more fun.

Here's to your 60 pound weight loss....you can do it...I am so very proud of you. Have a great vacation...you deserve it.

30 pounds....excellent Lori....especially after your exciting weekend. Good job. And you naughty girl...a leopard print bra....how sexy is that!!!! Good for you...we won't ask you to display your pic here though, hard telling where it would end up...lol. I can't wait to go to Victoria's Secret and finally fit in to one of their sexy bras....not the diamond laced one, but one of them...and Not White!!!

WAY TO GO RIP!!!
I'm right behind ya lady... I have 5.5 lbs to go and will sign the 60 lb board... I hope by next week, keepin fingers crossed and mouth closed to tempations! I'm trying so hard now, I'm gonna make it :0)

Fifties Lady, Karen1234

Thanks! I actually think I will let my hubby take pics. of me this trip....no, not those kind, the touristy kind! I will be sure to post some on shutterfly and send the link out.

Have a great OP week. I am so glad we are all here for each other.

Rip...that was too funny....yes, we would like to see some "nice" pics of you. I can't wait till I will accept someone taking pics of me again....how sad that I always say no when the camera was pointed at me....that will stop soon!!!! Have a safe and all so fun trip.

Awesome, Lori!! Have you bought any new scrubs yet? I know how hard you've been working on this in spite of all the stress in your life. Way to go, girl!

RIP, congratulations! I've no doubt you'll sign that board. I can't even imagine losing 60 lbs!! Be sure and let us know as soon as you sign that board. Don't go off on vacation and leave me wondering, lol.

Karen, you are melting away. It's very inspiring to watch your weight go down and read your posts.

It does my heart good to hear about everyone's success.

Little Edie,
You as all of us are also melting away. I often wonder where all that 'fat' goes, must just be floating around

Thanks!
It was fun, for once I didn't feel like I was putting on body armor!
1 pound to go for that 60 pound board. It is like a tease, you can whip that one pound into submission and sign that board! And you should see about a pretty bra for that trip. Bet hubby will be shocked! how great to have someone to shock like that!
Congrats on the blood work! They want the good cholesterol down? That doesn't seem right, may be up 3 points. Good cholesterol should be higher. What a difference you have made in your health and state of mind. Can't wait to see vac pics. Proud of you for letting him take pictures, major step.

Can I confess I bought the matching panties too?

Wow, you guys rock! The 60 pound board is so close, I am cheering both you and Rip on!
Thanks!
Haven't bought any new scrubs yet but I had bought a mismarked pair that said large but the tag is med. I can put them on but the sight is not pretty and I can't imagine working in them just yet! Seams probably wouldn't hold through half the shift! So, once I can put those on and not fear an explosion, I will have to get new scrubs. Already my others are really loose. They were extra large. Unfortunatey, we are confined to one color unless it is a holiday. I plan to get a pair of the cutes holiday scrubs that they make just so I can wear something different!
Oh, and is that weight only one pound from the 40 pound board? Any second we will see you signing it!
I hope the fat floating around lands on the skinny people who design the ugly clothes and body armor bras in the big sizes

Ok Lori....now we may want to see pics!!! You are just too funny!!!

LOL... you know we were all thinking that too huh.. leopard bra etc?? JK!! Good for you, you should let him take pics... On my list of reasons to lose this weight I actually have " so I can feel comfortable having photos taken of me instead of hiding from the camera or behind others - my family deserves to have more than just a memory of me being at these events and occasions - they deserve a picture of it too!! " listed as one of reasons. I get so frustrated when I look back through photo albums and see no pics of myself at all these occasions, or I'm hiding behind someone else and it's obvious or I'm out in the open, caught off guard and it repulses me to see the size I had become. I now love when I see my pics now (or at least I'm getting better at loving it) b/c I can see how far I've come and what more I have to do. Anyways, Horray for you for this big step!!

Karen

Way to go Lori! Kudos to you with dodging all of the bullets. I'm so happy for you.

I'm laughing about your bra situation, I'm running into the same problem. I wish my hips would shrink like the chest did!

Lori123321,
You sure are making me laugh. Yesterday after reading abou the bra I thought hmmm maybe she'll buy a pole (for exercise) but I would just be kidding and I did not know how it would be taken, well now that you have the panties I just had to say it.


Every other month or so I get a coupon in the mail from V. Secrets
1 FREE pair of panties
plus
$10 off any bra

I can't wait to see the look on my beautiful two teenage girls faces when I say "ha I am using these now, not you"

And you may not have new scrubs but you know what you have underneath them!

Karen1234,
I know what you mean about the pictures. A few years ago my husband finally talked me into being in pictures. He said that he knew I was not happy with the way I looked but him and the kids should at least be able to look back at our memories and see me in them. I then decided that I would let them take all the pics. they wanted. I just don't share them with anyone but soon I will.

A pole, hmmm, great idea! Found a portable one online for $309. Guess that doesn't include lessons! Oh, the visuals! I am so ungraceful I would probably hurt myself. Imagine the ER visit! And what shall I tell my teenage boys when I set it up in the basement? LOl, that is too good!
