That is awesome. 2.5 inches. Wow! I was wondering how you came up with your goal weight. I noticed it was 160 which I think is quite low considering I haven't been there since grade 9. I was just wondering how you came up with that number.
I set my goal at 180. I remember being 170 at 17, doing exercise every day and feeling great. Now that I am older, I don't think I can get there again. Who knows, only time will tell. ****, at this point if I managed to get under 200, I would be so very excited.
Well its based on the 'high' end of what my normal weight should be. Now I realize that these ideals are not ideal for everyone, I based a lot of it on my sisters and mom. They have the same frame as me so I kinda guessed. No real science to it! I dont know that i have been that low since grade 9, if i was even at that low then, i was never will to get on a scale and check. I was not always over weight i was actaully nick named 'skinny minnie' when i was younger so i do have the potential to be MUCH smaller than i am. I carry all my weight in my mid section (worst place to have it too damn it lol) i actually have a fairly small bone structure. Its all dependant on what happens when i get to that weight i guess!
I, too, carry most of my weight in my midsection. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2002 which makes me insulin resistant and infertile, along with making it VERY hard to drop pounds. It sucks!!!
I was told I have a large frame and for my height, they suggested somewhere between 147 and 163. I laughed and said 180, please!
Yeah, lol i think 140 is a total pipe dream for me as well! I would venture to guess my sisters are around 150? maybe and they look awesome! So I am using them as my benchmark
Again like i said its probably all giong to change once I get closer to that weigh, i by no means want to look boney, im all about having a few curves. When I went and got fitted for a bridesmaid dress the other weekend the lady told me that i have a perfect hour glass shape, so i laughed and said well i think this hour glass has a little extra sand then, lol. I alwas thought of myself as very 'boxy' but apparently im not...we really are our own worst critics sometimes!!
That is very true. We are our worst critics. How is that going to work to get fitted for a bridesmaid dress while you are shrinking? Did you order a size smaller?
UGH NO the lady wouldnt let me! she was like "i have seen too many come in and say that they WILL lose weight and then the dress comes and its too small' so i had to order the size i am now. She said it can be taken in like 6 sizes because of the style so lets hope she is right!! She actually said, if you are even down one inch from now till when you come pick it up i would be very proud of you....b*tch please ha ha I have already dropped that much since then, maybe not all in ONE specific place but still!!
hey guys, its been awhile..i just read thru a few pages of posts to get all caught up lol!! glad to know that everyone is keepin on track!! Ugly i feel ur pain i just ordered my wedding dress and am soo scared that it wont be able to get taken in enough come august, cuz im obviously hoping to lose more btwn now and then too!! anyways i wieghed in yestereday at 199.8 lol!!! so i was pretty excited to hit under 200 finally.
does anyone have any good dessert recipes?? im having approx. 6 ppl for dinner and i wanna make a yummy dessert i can eat too lol
Gey girl! Did you see that apple one?? make yours with ff ice cream but use a rich french vanilla for theirs and it would be great!
Yesterday was a cheaht free day for me..except butterscotch candies...which i have just remembered...*oops* I will just stay away from that office!
I have been making those salads for lunch and oh they are sooooooo yummy! I am bring some frozen grapes to keep busy with after..
The wedding dresses have lots of material. I remember I had a size 18 off the rack ( I found it in a book and wanted to order it, but she had the same one there way back when) and she was going to be able to take it down to a 12. (No wedding never went through) so don't worry!!!
I have already dropped that much since then, maybe not all in ONE specific place but still!!
