*The Woohoo Thread for the week of May 17*

[ZerasPride]

Okay, all you DISers out there! We all know dieting isn't easy and it can be downright frustrating sometimes but let's here your some positive experiences. I just love reading about the accomplishments (no matter how small) my fellow DISers are making as we each travel this weight loss road together.

Are you fitting into smaller clothes? Coworkers and family members not recognizing you? Maybe you passed up that slice of cake at a party? Whatever it is, we wanna hear about it!!!

So, what's your woohoo?

Making goal last week. Then going back up to 135 by eating way too much on Friday and Saturday, but knowing that I know I can get it down again by watching what I eat the next few days.

Woo hoo that I learned that skill. That's something that I will benefit from forever. Its not about falling off the program and blowing it so no need to get back on. I have learned that I can splurge a few days and that getting back on program is easy!

WTG Melanie! You know you are my inspiration. I just love that red goal clippie you're sporting. It's just downright lovely!

Who's next with a woohoo?

Hey WISH Sis and Melanie!

I have a WOO HOO! from this past Saturday.

I was at ds8's baseball game and ran into the mother of a student I taught two years ago. She hadn't seen me since I lost the 110 pounds, and flipped out when I told her who I was--she didn't recognize me.

But here's the WOO HOO part...She said, "OMG! Look at you! Yeah, you lost a lot of weight, but I can't believe you're SO BUFF!" Hello? Was she speaking to me? Say again? I'm BUFF?!!! I was wearing a sleeveless shirt, and I guess all that heavy weight training is finally producing some visible results (she has obviously never met my inner thighs, though )!

That was Saturday morning, and I'm still all puffed up about it.

Melanie, I think your Woo Hoo is great! Knowing that you're not "falling off program" is something that will definitely help you forever! I know it's really helped me keep proper perspective when I have a few too many (fill in the blank with anything chocolate)!

Hope you guys are doing GREAT! Aw, heck, I KNOW you are!!!

Im sitting here in my
First Time Ever
Size 6 jean shorts!
woo hoo
I was coming here to let you guys be the first to know and this thread was waiting to be responded to

You know I think I may have been able to try on a size 6 before but in my head I wasnt ready - and to think last summer I was thrilled to finally be in a size 12!

keep it up everyone - we're doing great

 

[ZerasPride]

Kim, my WISH sis, how are you? From your post I can see among other things you are pretty "buff". Alrighty girlie, between you and Melanie, I am just so impressed with the physical stamina of my WISH lady friends. I hope to be like both of you when I finally finish my weight loss journey.

Okay, I'll share my woohoo but it's not a big one. Two ladies today have come up to me to ask me what I am doing to lose weight because they both said I look great. That made me feel so good.

Anyone else wanna share with the group? Come on guys I know there are some WISHers out there with some accomplishments to share!

Kim, awesome story! For the rest of you....great going! I wish I could fit into a size 6!!!! You must be thrilled!

My woo hoo is that I went shopping and had to buy size 10's instead of 12's. I've lost a total of 53 lbs from size 18-20 plus to size 10. (Lisa know this already...I've been braggin on the South Beach thread.)

 

[ZerasPride]

I love hearing all these success stories!!!!

newholiday - You have gone from a size 12 and now you're a size 6. That's a big Woohoo!!!! You must feel absolutely fantastic! I hope to wear a 10 or an 8 someday. I think I'd pass out if I could wear a 6. What an awesome job!!!

Shelia - girlie you know how proud I am of you! You must be so excited to wear "normal" sized clothes. I can't wait to find out what that feels like.

Everyone is doing so good - you guys make me proud to be a WISHer!!!!

Somene asked yesterday what I was up to, I asked what she meant, she said, you have lost weight haven't you, I said yes, and she asked how much, I said 22 lbs (23 today, yay!)

I am going to go shopping this week, need some new shorts, and I know that I can get a pair 2 sizes smaller (tried them out already)

I turned down birthday cake Friday,and cupcakes, and cookies today, all from work, plus I have resisted the chocolate chip cookies that have been sitting on my kitchen counter all weekend.

My Woohoo would be looking in the mirror and liking what I see. It is one thing to diet and exercise but when you can actually see the results....it's nice. And trying on cloths....I used to dread having to buy something knew because I hated the way cloths fit. Now i'm spending to much money because I have fun shopping. To bad I am obsessed with buying workout cloths.

Someone saw a picture of me before I lost weight and was remarking on how much weight I lost. DS (7) piped in that he was so happy I lost weight because now he can wrap his arms around me, where as before he couldn't even make his hands touch because I was so big.

I've been really strugling these past couple of weeks! Myweigt loss has slowed dramatically, last week I maintained and this week I put on 1lb. Anyway my WOOHOO moment came when I put on my size 6 skirts and they were big on me! I must admit that made me feel much better about the way things are going!

Congratulations to all you guys, and enjoy your WOOHOO moments!
