Hey you look great I can tell youv'e lost... this weeks weigh in was 1.4 down for me..let me figure out how to post pics and I will put up a before and a so far pic..lol
Thanks. Congrats on your weight loss this week too. That's great.
I have my pics loaded onto photobucket, and they give you the code to just past here on the boards. It's the one with the img stuff at the begining. Really easy.
Winged One stop being so hard on yourself I could see the difference in the pics and it's a real achievement you've made. Yes you may not be where you ultimately want to be but none of us are and you're looking fabby so be proud of how you look and where you are on your plan
Thanks. I can see the difference from the first one, but after that it gets a bit fuzzy. I never want to look like that first one again. Ever. I just look at it and think of how horrible I felt inside, while trying to convince myself that I was happy because I was eating whatever I wanted to. So delusional! I think I've used food for way too long to make excuses and cover for other things in my life. Stopping that cycle seems to be one of the hardest things to do.
I'm doing the same thing for my high school reunion in October and our Dis trip in January--I started in April and I've lost 15lbs so far following the FYM exercise and nutrtion plans. I've been lazy the past couple of days and haven't really exercised like I should have (i'm blaming PMS)
I started at 178lbs--I'll be 39 in October--I'm down to 161 or 162. My healthy weight for my height is 125. So I've got 37 more pounds to turn into pixie dust in 5 months for my 20th reunion and 7 months till Disney!
I'll be turning 39 this October too. I still find it a bit amazing that I'll be 39. Just doesn't seem right when I feel so much younger. Eek!
That's great that you set your goal, and have been doing so well towards it. 15 lbs is amazing!
I was SO tempted to play it this morning. But I followed Jiminy Cricket and let my conscience be my guide.
I'm so impressed that you didn't!
You look GREAT. And really, I'm not just saying that. I'm not that kind of person. You might not see/feel it but the loss is noticeable and you're looking fantastic.
Thanks, Tink! I do look great. It's taken time and hard work and I'm looking forward to continuing the process.
How was that?
Seriously thanks. I am happy with how far I've come so far. I'm just a bit impatient.
I was actually thinking that I liked the longer look on you.
No, no chopping it off. (At least quite yet). I just haven't been since October, and I have no shape left at all. I've been stuck clipping it back in just that hairdo for awhile now. I just need to get some shorter sections cut around my face so I can wear it down.
I've been tempted to cut it off a few times, but it's taken way too long to grow it out this long. Plus, I'm weird. I always let it grow long in the summer, and save my major chops for the winter time.
I love Target.
Period.
I'm no longer allowed near it with a credit card or non-spending-money-type-cash.
Do you know that they sell a THREE POUND BAG OF HARIBO GUMMY BEARS??? (Only $7, by the way, but I've never bought one.)
It's like the Mothership calling me home.
It is a bit evil isn't it. I spend way too much time wandering around the fringes of the store scouring the discount racks. And the World Bazaar when they have it. And the seasonal section. Way too dangerous. At the moment I've been relegating myself to the discounted gym clothes. I love the 75% off section.
Ok, ladies. It's truth time. I'm up this week. And a tad more than I thought. I was figuring around the 2lb. mark but it was 3lbs. And while I know that the majority of it has to be from my Disney trip and the horribly unhealthy behavior since my return, I also ate something incredibly salty before bed last night and was silly enough to really no drink anything.
Today, standing in for the Hoover Dam, will be Tinkerbellarella.
So, I'm dousing my body with water and very few salts today. And my short term goal is to lose at least 2 of the 3lbs gained by next Wednesday's weigh-in.
Better start that exercising!
At least you had a Disney trip with the gain, right?
Water really does make all the difference sometimes, and I'm sure it will help you get back on track. I've been doing much better with my water intake this week and I think it's helped. Of course the problem is that at work they have shut down the bathrooms on my floor. Which means when I need to go, I have to take the elevator up two floors just to use the restroom.
Can we say annoying?
I don't want to admit to how many times I've waited a bit too long and have found myself doing a dance waiting for the elevator.
As for myself I'm surprisingly down this week. I'll admit I was a bit shocked. While I knew that I had been better with my eating, I wasn't feeling it. For the majority of this week, and this morning I have just felt "overly stuffed" and uncomfortable. I think I'm retaining water, so that may be part of the feeling. Still I weighed in at 215.5 today. I don't remember exactly what I weighed in at last week but I'm pretty sure it was more.
