  • OMG! I DID IT I MADE MY GOAL!

    Please remember to look at my second post also Even if it's in a few minutes cause I have dial up & can only upload 5 pics at once & I am downloading more~Gotta get a pic took today with me in My ghostbusters shirt Cause I am no longer the marshmellow guy! that i say I look like in my before pic!~OH click all pics to make them bigger!

    I started November 11th 2008 Counting calories. Which I continue to do.I also after about 2 months added in some walking just indoors cause I have asthma~No exercise equipment Just pacing back & forth from room to room mostly while I was on the telephone~(My advice~Walk while ya talk ~IT BURNS CALORIES!& good for penny pinchers!) Anyways I within approx 4 to 5 months was up to walking 45 minutes 2 x's a day which is where I stay at & I do this approx 6 days a week.I eat 1400 calories a day~A number I was comfortable with~Started on 1200 & was a mess so I upped it quickly cause I was cheating LOL~So basically my second month ~I was at 1400 calories which I have stuck with & yes I have had a time or too I had some higher calorie days I just always kept low calorie stuff in the house & would make sure I never went over maintance weight if I had a cheat moment..Cause I do not care what anyone says noone is perfect So if you ever goof up ~JUST DO NOT GIVE UP! Start right back over the next day!. ~OK anyways STARTED Out in a tight 20W (Which is basically a 22 & they was too tight for over a month!)~And a 3X TOPS more or less~ I now fit into 3's & 4's And some 6's in shorts/jeans/pants~I wear a Xs & small & some mediums depends on brands and how long i want them In shirts. But I wear belts with mostly all the 6's cause there getting to big.(Never imagined to even get to a 6 let alone them getting to big ~And 8 was a dream size to me~LOL)Also My 9 wedding rings was cutting into my finger & I had to remove them & Now wear 7's but actually can wear a 6 & 1/2 but the rings I wanted didn't come in half sizes.ANYWAYS.... I was always the obese child & adult~Now I found a way I can control my weight & be healthy & do well & spend no money doing so~I saw a pic Took in 2008 In fall right before I started my journey In the brown top~Me at my heaviest!~I thought I looked like the marshmellow guy from the ghost busters movie & it devestated me! So Once I post pics here ~look below too for more because I can only post 5 at a time~And I have dial up so it may take me a minute or two to post them all~THE KEY IS START STRONG & STAY STRONG & NEVER GIVE UP! U WILL REACH YOU GOAL EVENTUALLY! I still got some toning up to do So I look good naked for the hubby~Which he aint complaining but its something I need to do for me So I May lose a few more pounds in the process But regardless I am happy with my results & the new me~THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE ON 3fatchicks For all your support u know who u are & I ADORE U ALL! Thighsbgone if your reading my daughter said she deleted a bunch of my messages & Admitted up to a new one from you So I hope it wasn't anything important ~She want tell me how long ago it was u sent it But did say I phone number was included~UGHHHH KIDS! Anyways hope everything is good for you & with you!LET ME KNOW GIRL!

    HOPE THIS MOTIVATES SOMEONE OR INSPIRES THEM TO REACH THERE GOALS TOO!
