51 pounds gone, can you believe it? - Phentermine.com

lovinmyair · August 11th, 2008, 12:00 AM

That is the amount I have lost since coming here in April. Yes, I still have a very long way to go. But who would have thought that I would be close to the 180's when I have struggled most of my life just to be under 200. I guess it is time for another before and after.

*LOL* I think this is as brave as I can get. I just can't believe it. I feel so much better than I could ever realize. Though I wont be strutting my stuff, I know that I am a healthier better me and there's still more to come. April was when I started. Hopefully by the end of the December challenge I'll be at least 160 or 170. I'm aiming for at least 2 pounds a week. 8 pounds a month. *LOL* I have tried to stay away. But I really miss you guys

. So anyway, yeah, sorry for the show and all, but it's the only way you can truly see just how far. I wish I would have felt more comfortable in my skin at 244 than I do now at 192. I would have been able to show a pic of before. The yellow outfit is my best before as it was right when I started.

I started April 16th. It's been since then. It's much slower than the first month (I lost 12 pounds). It's been about 8-10 pounds or so average a month.

Well, I try to stay active. I work out at least 3-4 times a week and run around and chase my daughter (that attributes to 3x workout as well). The only time I sit down is in the evenings. During the day I am constantly on the go doing something. If I have a bad day, then I make sure I don't beat myself up and get back with the program. *LOL* My main thing is realizing that when I say this one piece of cake wont hurt was not helping me (I did the same thing with cigarettes when I smoked "Oh, after this pack I'll quit") The main way for me though, is I remember the reason I am losing weight. That is my health, confidence, family and friends

*LOL* I know people get tired of hearing it, but drinking a lot of water is also a huge thing for me. I replaced most of my drinks with water. I dropped all of my soda drinking (if I do maybe 1 diet soda a week) and replaced it with tea sweetened with 8 calorie per teaspoon half sugar half sugar substitute mix (comes in a bag) for something sweet or water with lemon and the sugar mix. I know they say caffeine is bad, but I have not been able to give it up all together. I also do little things like leg lifts when I'm going to bed or sitting. If I can't get to exercising, I make sure I do something (clean house, mow lawn) to keep me motivated. I keep track of what I eat and eat 1200 calories a day.
