Well I had to deal with my move this weekend in sub freezing temperatures (New Hampshire). It was so cold (20 not counting the wind chill) that the diesel U-Haul truck wouldn't start in order to bring it back. They had to come and get it started for me. But I digress....Well this morning when it came time to get dressed for work I couldn't find my regular work pants I've been wearing (size 44 waist). So I grabbed the smaller pair (size 42 waist) I had in my closet and gave them a shot..and THEY FIT!!! I mean they aren't even tight!! I even am using a new hole in my belt with them. I'm now in my 5th hole on my belt. I was in the 1st or 2nd hole when I started in January!! My jeans this weekend were constantly sliding down and thats with a belt on. It really makes me feel good and lets me know that I'm heading in the right direction (and that I need smaller jeans!)...even if I don't see it when looking in the mirror. I just wanted to share. I look forward to my next Dr's appointment Next week to see my results and take new pics in front of the new fire place..lol.

Oh Ya...and we ordered pizza for everyone for lunch on the move day...so I told myself I could have 3 slices as I was working hard (Pizza is my kryptonite...lol)and burning calories so I started with 2 slices and ate them slowly and actually stopped at TWO!!! I realized I was full and didn't need the third slice...That really made me feel good too as far as controlling my will power and portion control!! Other then every muscle in my body aching it was a good weekend for me ...lol.

Ok this is long enough..I'm entering "Trent territory" with the length of this post!!

You should have done a "Man Happy Dance" when you put on the smaller pants.

Hmmm...even though I am of French Candian decent...I think I'll leave the speedo's to others to wear..lmao!!

Thanks for the kind words all. I wasn't going to post it as I felt it was a bit like bragging, but the more I sat here wearing them and realizing they weren't too tight the happier I got and figured what the heck, post it as it can help motivate others. God knows I like to read other's milestones, sucesses, etc... so I posted...lol.

Congrads. I know this thing takes awhile but once it starts it's crazy watching the weight melt right off. I love that feeling of things that were once tight are now baggy. YOU go boy

Redsox, Congrats from this Yankee fan. I know exactly what you are going through. A few days ago. All of my jeans were dirty. So I grabbed a pair that I haven't ever worn since they were to tight. Not only do they fit...they are loose.
With regards to the pizza. That also happens with me. I am not normally hungry. But, when its getting time to eat a meal. I seem feel starved. I think I will eat a ton. But, after a moderate portion. I am full. For example, 2 slices instead of 3.

Great job!!

ps-Only a few more weeks until the ole Sox-Yanks rivalry starts back up...But, now we have to deal with them upstart Blue Jays.

This is from 12/28/05 around 224lbs.


6/25/06 down 40lbs.

CW 224 (1/18/06) started phen
CW 223 (1/20/06)
CW 195 (4/12/06)

CW 188 (5/19/06)
CW 182 (7/14/06)

1st goal 200 *ATTAINED*
2nd goal 190 *ATTAINED*
Ultimate goal 179
