wtg! 20 pounds is awesome, and it is so cool to hear about your hair. I love clothes shopping, glad to hear about the smaller sizes. Keep up the great work, and you will be at goal in no time.

20 POUNDS GONE!!!

You are doing so great! You've found/created an eating plan you like and can live with and you've made exercise a part of your routine! Congratulations on getting lighter and healthier!

Loved hearing about the changes in your hair!! Your body is obviously loving all the good things you're doing for it.

Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Hey Wilderness,

Your diet does sound lika a strict cardiac diet. It is certainly working. You are doing a great job. Don;t worry about the upper body strength. It will come with time. I want to be able to lift about 20Pounds more upper body, but I am in no rush. I also be the weight you are currently lifting is good for a female. You will get those sculpted arms sooner than you think.

Hi all. Thanks for posting in my journal and giving me encouragement.

Hey,

Think how great it will be when you are the one looking that good and it being seemingly so "effortless"! Those are the moments I look forward to. At 70 lbs lost, I am getting compliments left and right, and think about I was 311 on Dec. 20 and now I am 259! that is only 5 1/2 months. It took me 10 years to put on 130 lbs and less than one to take off 70lbs! YOu can do it! I am behind you!

the incredible shrinking one!

[wilderness01]

I almost forgot to post.......I am down another pound!

 

[wilderness01]

The gym went well last night. Just did cardio because we were gabbing.....I will do weights this am. I'll check back in later. Have a nice day.

Have a great day,

Hi Wilderness,
Just popping in to wish you a great day !

So I did something I DREAD today.......I went bathing suit shopping. I actually found 3 suits that look semi-decent. AND I am NOT depressed as usual after the experience. This gives me more and more incentive to stay OP and continue on with this healthy way of life. Had a great workout at the gym this am. Have been OP for food and water. All in all, a great but very tiring day. I have been running all day with shopping, laundry and cleaning, etc. I am looking forward to down time tonight.....I need it!

Hi wilderness!
I haven't had a chance to read through your journal yet, but congratulations on the swimsuit shopping! I have been putting that off myself and I might just wait until they go on clearance. (That will give me more time to lose weight too. ) It's wonderful when you can find clothes that fit and are flattering too. Congratulations!!

Congratulations on your 21 pound weight loss! That is wonderful!! Keep up the good work!

Bathing suits are a great incentive to lose. I went to a water park in Eddyville, KY and I told my wife how great it is to go 70 lbs lighter than last year. It is such a confidence boost (not that I have ever lacked confidence as my wife would attest to) to know that the diet is really working!

Keep at it!

The incredible shrinking one!

Hi there,

Congrats on the swimsuit. Isn't it amazing what a difference a few months can make. Anyone who can go swimsuit shopping and not be depressed deserves kudos. Congrats again.

Yesterday was a good day. Worked out in the am. Food and water was OP. Actually I was more hungry yesterday but no gain on the scale this am so that was good.

Went to the gym again this am and only did cardio. I will do more weights tomorrow. I have alot of errands today. I will check back later and try to post to other journals. Have a good day.
