I'm 3# away from my 50lb mark! Soooo close, yet so far away! The last pounds are proving to be more tricky than the first 40!0

I passed the fifty pound mark 5 and a half years ago - my main memory is going to the space museum with my children where they had scales designed to tell you what you weighed on different planets (gravity being at play.) I loved the planets where I weighed 80 or so instead of 170! :laugh:
Seriously though, I was so thrilled to finally fit into regular sizes at that point! I didn't have a 'W' after my size anymore. (Once, I was looking at the tag on the size 22W pants I wanted to buy and I asked my own mother, "What does the W" mean? And she answered, "Wide, I guess." UNH. - it does not, btw.)
But it definitely felt wonderful to look back on those pounds (and at photos!) and KNOW the strength it took - and how much self-discipline and hard work it took to get there! Honestly, I don't know how I did it and some days now, just staring down 20 pounds, I think, "I couldn't do that now." But we are doing it, aren't we?!
At the time, I was proud that I had never hired a personal trainer or bought into a diet program. I exercised at home and counted my own calories (in my head...cause I didn't have MFP yet. :frown: ) Now, I realize it doesn't matter how you get there - it requires digging deep and discovering your own power no matter how you do it!
Honestly, I think that's the reason I was fat. It created a path through which I could un-bury my Self.0 -

Ha so true Sassie knows I fought with mine ROFL....im 4 away and every day is a little struggle pushing myself harder and fighting through it..I really try to think of all my goals while Im punching towards the tv screen kickboxing at Jillian Michaels ...lol0 -
I suppose I could answer your questions. :laugh:
I feel AWESOME! I took a 44# bag of dog food out of my truck, into my house & down my basement stairs on Friday. I don't know how I used to walk around with that much extra weight on my body! I am very rarely out of breath any more (except for when I'm kicking my own butt working out). I went shopping today for the first time in a LONG time & went from a size 18 jeans back in June to a size 8 today! I haven't been an 8 since I can't tell you when.
Hhmmm...how did I manage to stay on this "journey"? Determination. I'm done having kids so I can't use any of those little monsters as excuses any more. My dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in his 30s & I am fighting the fight on that one. I'm lowering every risk I can for that. My mom's family has cholesterol problems coming out of their ears. Fighting the predisposition to that as well. I want to be the healthiest mom I can be for my kids. No one in my family exercises so I had no good examples. THAT will change for my kids. My boys already like working out with me. They do jumping jacks, crunches & pushups like little pros. :laugh: I LOVE the "new" me & I am now looking for ways all the time on how to improve even more!
Great work so far, everyone! Keep up the awesome jobs! :flowerforyou:0 -

W stands for wings
M stands for marbles
P stands for pansies.
Just kidding, Chubby Bunny. I was channeling Sesame Street.
Myastyme - So, lady, how do YOU feel being so close to the 50# mark?!0 -
I hit 50lbs the 1st of Feb (I weigh once a month).
I've stuck with it because I've have made a decision in my mind to do so. I know what I can and can't do and what I will and won't it. I have made it my goal to have at least one "clean" meal a day. I try to do four days clean and 3 days not so.
I have five fattening foods that I will not give up. I eat them in moderation. I eat the same things I used to (burgers, pizza). I just don't do it on a regular basis and it has to fit in my day calorically. (Moderation)
Instead of covering my emotions with food, I release them through exercise and/or letting people know how I feel in the most respectful way possible. I know if I am ready to pimp slap someone I need to up my calories. (Because what is the use of have a smaller waist a couple of weeks sooner if I alienate everyone in my life.)
I know everyone is different. I have learned a great deal from other people's journey. I take what I can use and discard the rest.0 -

:laugh: HILARIOUS! I love it!0 -
Thanks! I will be weighing on Monday. I really admire you and everyone who has worked so hard for so long. I hope I can stick with it as well as you have!0

"WIDE" How horrid!!! I dunno how clothing manufacturers get away with that....Blah!
Or the MOTHER! LOL!I was thinking to get a trainer once I get closer to my goal only because I really want to be pushed Jillian Michael style...but we shall see..Im a cheapskate...lol
You can find a trainer who's more Bob's speed! :happy: And once any trainer finds out you lost 50 pounds on your own?! Well, you send 'em to me if they're mean to you! I think they'll be inspired and quite respectful.
*You* look fabulous, btw. And you're always so encouraging to everyone. I'm proud and pleased to see you're so close!0 -
you two are simply amazing, I am just reaching the 25 pound mark but I can't wait to get to the 50 pound mark but I think it will be quite awhile before I get there. Anyways congrats.0
