I'm down from 273+ to ~218
I couldn't see any progress, and then I looked at pics from myself from last summer and I thought, I can put that on right now and compare!
It's odd; I still feel fat, but I don't feel 270 fat, I feel like, 250 fat, I wish I felt 220 fat haha. I have trouble seeing myself as I am. It's hard for me to see the progress even when i compare the pics, isn't that odd? If it were someone else's pictures I think I would see it differently.
I hope that the next year goes as well as this last one!
Thanks for being awesome, I've been creeping around on the boards for a while, but recently I decided to be more active :]

Great job on the weight loss. I started a little heavier than you and once I got down to the low 200's I noticed a difference in my body so much more. It seemed like my body suddenly transformed over night. Keep going and one day soon I bet you'll catch your reflection in a mirror and be surprised when that person is you! Best of luck, keep up the fantastic progress!0

Oh my gosh girl, look at your face!!! You do not even look like the same person! You look 10 years younger!
It takes a while to see the change in our bodies (beyond wearing smaller clothes etc) and everyone seems to see it at a different time. I did not notice it until I saw the reflection of some one in a store window with my clothes on, but she was much smaller than me! Surprise-it was me, but I was down 90 pounds before I actually internalized my newer body. Give yourself time and stick to it. You will get there! Meanwhile, look at your thinned out face!

Good morning!:bigsmile:
@Tanya, sounds like you are having a blast! I always thought I would love to try kayaking. Maybe someday, huh?
@Bett, I pray for a full recovery for you and that all goes well with your health. Bummer about the treadmill. I LOVE mine and would be upset if it broke. Your hubby sounds wonderful and after 30 years, I would say romance in the mountains is a must do!! Have fun.
@Laurie, thanks for talking about how this process takes time. It really is about a lifestyle change and that includes not only the body but the mind. I find working on the mental aspects more challenging than the eating and exercise. You are a true inspiration!! :flowerforyou:
@Susan, I just love your upbeat attitude and you are so right that there are a lot of people on this group to pull inspiration and motivation from. I am so happy to have found ya’ll!! :flowerforyou:
@Robin, I hope your vacation will rejuvenate your spirit and that you will have an awesome time. I lived in Arizona and never made it to the Grand Canyon. Can you believe that??? I have been to Sedona and it is beautiful. Lots of cute little shops to browse in too.
@tlh0407, yayyy for new appliances. I got new when we renovated the kitchen this spring. Nothing like having stuff that works!:bigsmile:
Sorry that is all I have time for this morning before heading off to work. I have done really well this week and this weekend is going to be a challenge. We have two bedding reps coming today and tomorrow. Plus we are having a BBQ for lunch for winning a contest. Is it bad that I wish we would have lost? :ohwell: I have weigh-in tomorrow so I’m going to really try hard to resist the temptations. Fortunately I get off at 6pm today and maybe we will be so busy I won’t have time to eat at all.
I will try to drop in tonight and catch up on the personals and confess anything that needs confessing. Have a great day!:drinker:0 -
Awesome job on your weight loss! Keep up the great work!0

Oh, I'm so glad I looked at this post! I am now where you were when you started and I feel so non motivated at this time. Did you ever? How did you keep going a week at a time? Did you weigh a lot? I think maybe I should stop weighing so much? Thanks for the encouragement!0

I see a difference. Congrats! and keep it up.0
