  • Goodbye 50 POUNDS!! Goodbye, FOREVER!!!

    It's been HARD WORK but I've been extremely determined!! I changed my ticker this morning and realized I'm down FIFTY POUNDS since 12/28/08!!

    This time around on Atkins has not been the easy breeze it was in the past! I've had to analyze and tweak certain things here and there. I've realized I'm OLDER!

    I am today where I was (with weight) back in high school. Maybe it was freshman or sophomore year in high school. Of course, the weight hangs a bit differently now....the wonderful badge of motherhood!

    My goal is only 22.5 lbs away and that's a small number as far as I'm concerned! I really never knew for sure I could make it this far. The goal of 160 was a shot in the dark. I might readjust it as I get closer to 160. The truth is, I'm really not sure yet and it doesn't bother me! Can I just say how nice it is to be pretty satisfied with where I am now??? I'm by no means finished but it's really GREAT to be in a place where I'm content and I'm not beating my head against a wall all the time!

    So...FIFTY POUNDS, goodbye forever. You were never my friend and I can't say I'm a bit sad to see you go!!!

    Congrats and good riddance to those pounds. Aren't milestones great?? You should be very proud. 50lbs is awesome. The rest is going to be so easy for you...

        Woo hoo!!!! Now you should wear a backpack filled with 50 lbs of whatever on your back for a whole day and see how you feel when you put it down. [Too much TBL for me.]

          Woah, grats! Georgiana's idea is great, next time at the gym, pickup 2 x 25lb barbells and imagine those were permanently attached to your body.

          What a relief to put those back on the rack instead of carrying them off with you all day in the form of fat!
          What I do:
          Elliptical gym machine 1 hr Tue-Sun
          At 320, switch to cycling on my Trek 500
          2 filtered containers water/day
          Daily salads/veggies


          Goals:

          Stop needing High Blood Pressure meds - DONE!
          Workout in a XXXL shirt
          - DONE!
          Workout in a XXL shirt
          Workout in a XL shirt
          270 on the scales

                      YAY!!!! Big huge 50 lb congratulations to you.

                      Hope that every time you see yourself in the store windows, you think that you're so worth it. You're so worth all those times you had to refuse something in favor of the greater goal.

                      Props to you!

                          You know what, Vickie?? It sounds silly but I really did enjoy seeing my reflection yesterday!! It does sound ridiculous but after years of avoiding the reflection in the glass or the mirror, it's SOOO nice to enjoy it and savor it without the stupid critical eye!

                          The other day I filled up at a gas station I rarely go to. I was wearing a new pair of size 10 jeans that looked really hot. I was staring at the reflection of my legs in the glass (in a disgustingly proud, admiring kind of way ) when I fumbled for the door handle to open it. Boy, did I feel like an idiot!! I was reaching for the handle and it was on the other side of the door!! I felt stupid, yes, but I looked great! I'm so glad I've stuck with it. Can't believe I've had to struggle now and then in my 30's to shed the weight but I think I'm winning!
