Half Way There

kestrel359

I know this isn't as impressive as some people since I only had 30 lbs to lose but this is the most weight I've ever been able to lose. I started a month and a half ago at 160 lbs now I'm 145 lbs. I've completely given up soda and mostly given up fast food. I've cut down on my carbs and increased my protein intake. I don't exercise much beacause I work 40-50 hrs/week and am a full time accounting student and a mother of a 15 month old baby. So I just wanted to take a moment to toot my own horn :happy:

So, wait, fifteen pounds in a month and a half? That's nearly two pounds a week, right?? That's a phenomenal rate of change - - you've lost like ten percent of your body weight, basically all fat, in the last month and a half.

What is this crap in your post about "I know it isn't impressive"???? YOU'RE KICKING DONKEY!

Congrats. It doesn't matter how much weight you have to lose, setting your goal and meeting it is impressive.

Thank you. I guess I see people who have lost 50 lbs or more and think I've got it easy in comparison, so I forget that I worked hard to lose that weight

Compare yourself to your goals! You're halfway done. Jesus, if I let myself get down about the fact that people are rolling around here having dropped 111 pounds I'd feel like crap. You're doing great in relation to your start point and in relation to your objective and that's all that counts. Now hurry up so you can show me your final after pics! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
