51 Pounds....Gone!

[not2sweet]

I can't believe it! :yikes

After many years of making the same New Years resolution to lose weight, who would have thought this was the year I would follow through?

It didn't hit me how much I have lost so far until yesterday when I picked up my 5 year old. She weighs 41 pounds and she was SO heavy! I was like, OMG...I just lost 10 more pounds than what she weighs, how in the world did I carry that around all the time? Amazing!

Anyway, after being stalled for the past 3 weeks at the same weight, it was so nice to lose 6 pounds this week. Of course I had to kick up the exercise to do it, but it was definately worth it!

Thanks for being such a motivating and supportive forum ha

It is an amazing moment when your weight loss hits you in the face like that. Keep up the great work

Thank you...it's very exciting :joy

CONGRATULATIONS, I agree...it is amazing. You never realize how much you've lost until you look at it in terms of sugar, flour, dog food. Then the magnitude hits you of your weight loss.

lol isn't that the truth? ....I went to the grocery store one day after I had lost 30 pounds and stacked up 30 one pound packages of Hot Dogs all in a pile...I said omg, that's what I've lost :nod Needless to say, I had many funny looks from people, but I didn't care.

I say, take your motivation where you can get it lol.

Did anyone see that time a long time ago when Oprah lost 75 pounds? She pulled out a little red wagon onto the stage that had a clear plastic bag with 75 pounds of lard in it.

I will go to the store and buy ground beef wrapped in 1 pound packages and think to myself this is what each pound of weight I have lost looks like.

Yes, you do wonder how you ever carried that weight around on your body! ensive

Oh, and I wanted to add, the pic below of me smiling in front of a grave is not me being happy about someone's death even though it looks that way,lol. I was in California in March and had the opportunity to drive up the coast to Westwood and see the cemetary where Marily Monroe is. Yep, that's me and Marilyn! There are alot of other stars buried there too. i was shocked thta the place is so small! It is roughly the size of my yard front to back and side to side and tucked down a tiny alley surrounded by a bunch of high rise buildings.

Oh, and the empty spot right behind my back is the crypt that Hugh Hefner (of Playboy fame) will be interred when he dies.

I wanted to put "Me at Marilyn Monroe's grave" in my signature, but my signature is too long dangit!
