Just needed to shout it from the digital rooftops:

I JUST MADE MY SHORT TERM GOAL WEIGHT!!!!

Whoo-hoo!! You ladies (and gentlemen) have been such an inspiration. I love you guys. Stick with me cause I know the slow down in coming and I need to keep this motivation...
(would it be soooo wrong to cheat with a half snickers bar to celebrate???)
ouch, i just popped myself with my rubber band.

Chubby me earlier this year (and not at my chubbiest i might add)

A picture of me taken last week ( I finally had the guts to ask someone to take some)

And if i do say so myself, I actually think I look thinner in person. I feel like a giggly teenager, i am so excited!!!

This is what lovinlife told me today, "don't deprive yourself or you will just want to binge later. You should be trying to develop better eating habits for a lifestyle, not a "diet" per se. Have a small piece of chocolate this weekend if you want. You should still have things you like in moderation. Just make sure to keep it in check!"

Maybe not half a snickers but a fun size snickers wouldn't be too bad.

You have every right to a small,very small, reward. You also have every right to feel like a giggly teenager! You have done a wonderful job!

Ok, then. Instead I bought a sugar free individual russel stovers low cal pecan delight. 35 calories, and mmm mmmm good.

I feel like sticking a candle in it.

Oh! Here is one more pic that I liked too... and thanks Unico for the advice. BTW, Unico was my favorite cartoon as a kid...

Congratulations! What did you do to lose 51 pounds in 2 months? I would love to know.I lose about 1.75 pounds a week, even when I kinda jumped off my diet for this past 2 weeks. Jumping back on though.How tall are you?

VandGsMom · July 14th, 2006, 04:44 PM

Hello there MomofTwins!! I see that we started out on the same day!! Yeah for us!

Long story short, On May 17 I made the decision to stop making excuses about why I wasn't going to ever lose the weight, and for how much I ate and the way I ate it, and why I didn't ever ever exercise. I swallowed my first pill and cleaned out my fridge and my life.

I went from 0 diet and exercise for 3 years to instantly doing aerobics 3X/wk for 1 hr (even if I was just wobbling and panting toward the end) and strength and weights (2lb) 3X/wk. On Sunday I dance with the kids all over the living room and then go jump on the trampline with them.

I also stopped eating anything at one time larger than my cell phone ( i know, odd measuring tape). I eat no more red meat, mostly only white chicken. Lots and lots of raw vegetable and fresh fruit as meals or broth with vegetables. No butter no bread that I didn't make myself and no carbonated beverages. OUCH.

It is not easy or fun, but the difference in the way I feel totally makes up for it. Before I was tired ALL the time. I even made excuses as to why my house was never ever totally in order from top to bottom.

So, I wear my arm and leg weights and make myself vacuum every night, and wear them while I do laundry. Dorky? YES. Does it work? YES.

So.... It works for me, I have 2 kiddos too, but what are you doing??

Oh, BTW, I am 5'1".

nikkii · July 27th, 2006, 08:02 AM

You did an awesome job.

YOU LOOK WONDERFUL!

I can't weight to have that feeling that you have.

Your doing so well. I would rather buy something or treat myself to a massage, than eat something that i know i'm gonna think about later... but a fun size snickers does sound good.

If you don't mind me asking how many calories do you take in a per day.

VandGsMom · July 27th, 2006, 08:54 AM

WOW Nikkii! 8 lbs in 7 days! You are doing awesome girl! And look at that pretty face... You have nothing to worry about.

As for the calories, slightly unhealthy question, that...

In the beginning, before I knew better, I was trying to stay as close to 500 calories as possible, and then I realized that I was starving myself too much. Easy to do since I am never hungry anymore, but still, unhealthy.

Now I try to stay between 800-1000 a day, but I frequently go on up to 1200 depending on how healthy the splurge is.

It has been hard the last 3 weeks, though. I have been in and out of the hospital and unable to take my phen or to eat the diet that I want to. I have some serious endometriosis, and it has tangled itself in my colon and the docs think they are going to have to remove my colon in a couple of weeks. I have only lost 2 lbs in 3 weeks. I can't exercise b/c of the pain, but I am still doing what I can. I am looking forward to resolving all of this and getting back on track to feeling healthy again...

OHHH, and a massage sounds so divine, but seriously, a snickers is only like 50 cents... Much closer to my price range. hee hee
