One month results!

[ocd4dmb]

I lost 7 after 2 weeks. I've now lost 12 total in one month. I'm very happy with the results! I need to take a photo and post it too now that I don't feel so bad about myself. Thanks guys for the support during this too. I'm almost halfway to my goal!

Your posting is truly inspirational to me. See, I am sitting here feeling frustrated because I've "only lost 3 lbs in 5 days". But you're so positive to inform everyone that you've lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks! I think I need to change my mode and be happy that this is working, just not as fast as others. Losing 12 pounds in a month is a lot! I can't wait to weigh myself after 1 month! Hopefully will be able to down 12 lbs also!

Well sure, everyone loses at a different rate. 12lbs is 12lbs and that's all that matters to me. I think had it been too much more, I might have been a little concerned that it's working too much. I don't want to lose it all too fast and end up with baggy skin. Then I'd just be unhappy with myself about that. Slow and steady is just fine with me.

Oh and I NEVER weigh myself before the 2 week mark. It helps me not get down on myself if I don't see a big difference!

I'm visiting a friend in San Fran Aug 12. I hope to be another 10-12lbs down by then. I don't think that's unrealistic, is it? I'm on a mission here. I have put post-it notes on my monitor, television, elliptical, freezer door, kitchen cabinet door and bathroom mirror. They simply say Aug 12. I even think about eating or not excersizing and there it is looking at me. =)

Sounds like a good plan to me. I use the same type of thing to reinforce good behavior in my kids. We have a huge desktop type calendar on the wall and each week has a positive word (Joy, Honor, Courage....) in bold colors on sunday. We spend the rest of the week finding things that relate to that word. Maybe I need a "thin" calendar.

Girl, that's great. Keep it going, and I luv your pics. You're beautiful. Such beautiful skin.

Thanks missus, I try to keep my skin looking young. I'm pale as hell but I'd rather be pale than look like a leather handbag I see too many women my age look from years of tanning and smoking.
