And I like your advice is so "normal", nothing like "I gave up all food for flax oil pills and twigs that naturally fell in my yard & I work out 3 hours a day..." A real woman living in the real world, making real decisions...and looking really damn good!0 -

haha, thanks. Yeah, that's basically it - I reduced my portions, ate healthier, and exercised. I've had people ask me how I did it, and when I tell them that, sometimes they look vaguely disappointed. Like they're thinking - wait, I have to WORK for it? It's not that new cow uterus enzyme?
Keep at it LifeJacket - 43 lbs is a lot!
I appreciate everyone's replies. Part of me wants to take new progress pics now - I actually have hips! And a figure! But I'm only 36 lbs away, i think I want to save it and make a new thread when I hit goal.
One thing about losing weight if you're starting out pretty big - don't stress about loose skin. I was driving myself crazy with that for a while - 'what if I end up with a ton of loose skin, what if I lose weight but because of the skin I still don't look good", ect. Well now that I'm close to goal I can see that I will have some loose skin, but also that it won't be as bad as I imagined, and more importantly - it's not the end of the world, and even with it, I still look a million times better than I used to. Loose skin, smoosh skin - who CARES? I can go on rides at fairs now Guys flirt with me, it's easy to move, I can run, and hop over puddles. I can breathe at night. I find pleasure in so many things other than food now. Honestly, who gives a **** about some loose skin?
As for motivation when things get hard - I have this pinned to the wall in my kitchen
