Lost 115lbs!

you are all welcome! :flowerforyou:

when i first made that goal i thought i was nuts! :huh:

i used to look at people that had lost over 100lbs and thought that it would never be me! EVER! And then it happened. :noway:

when i first started i could exercise for only about 15mins on the treadmill at like the lowest speed before i thought that i was going to die. :sad: :grumble: :explode: :mad:

It was a gradual process. I got a hand-me-down treadmill from my cousin and just worked that sucker! I lost 80lbs in 8mnths on my own and then i got bored! :yawn:

I joined a gym, got a personal trainer...etc... now i try to workout atleast 5 days a week (but if I miss a day or two i dont kill myself) for about 1-2hrs a day..usually a mix of cardio and weights.

as for eating, in the beginning i was afraid to go out to eat and never did it. but i was missing out on the social aspect. now that i have come this far i have started to go out to dinner with my boyfriend once a week and then really try to eat at home for all other meals, its difficult, but its possible. If i go out more than once a week, so be it. :devil:

(but you will not see me eating big greasy bacon cheeseburgers and hot fudge sundaes though (my two favorite things) :sad:)

as for what has helped me the most on this journey-my family, my friends, this website, my new friends from MFP, my food scale, my HRM, i am currently on my 2nd pair of tennis shoes, my trainer and my gym!

Oh and my new boyfriend, who did NOT know me when I was heavier though. But does know about my past and supports me now and tells me that he loves me for me, no matter what. And when i try to cover myself up (yes, there is going to be some sagging skin from losing all the weight) infront of him he asks me why, because he thinks that i am sexy! . :blushing:


So that is my story, and i am sticking to it!

Thanks again everyone!!
