Made it to the 140's!!!!!!

Congrats to you! That is so awesome! Katy B

Thanks Katy!!!!

Hi Janie, I am so glad for you to have hit the 140's. I know how hard you have worked to get there and when the scale is mean it makes us unhappy Now you can look forward to the 130's. It is funny how this works. I went right throught the 150's fast. The 140's seem to be slower. I am striving for 120 but will be happy if I lost only 6 more pounds. I was thrilled last Friday we was going to see my brother and sister in law who were at their summer cottage in Maine down from Fla. and they hadn't seen me yet. So I went shopping and was thrilled when I took 3 sizes in the dressing room of Capri's. I took 12P-10P-8P. I ended with the 8P and medium shirts. Wow was I on cloud 9. They couldn't believe the difference in me when I did see them. I used to be an 18/20 and 2X tops. Okay I am rambling about me as I am thrilled. But know that I know exactly how thrilled you are. Hugs.... Roxanne

Thanks so much Roxanne! I still can't believe I made it to the 140's. I don't think it actually has caught up with me completely though. Sometimes I still feel like I weigh 238 lbs. I honestly have to weigh myself to confirm I don't. Do you ever feel like that? And then I am scared of gaining it back. It's like my head hasn't caught up with my body if that makes sense. Wow, what a wow moment for you to buy a size 8!! I'm so proud of you and know how you must feel. So, you're shooting for 120? You can do it!! How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 5'2 Take care!

Hi Again, I do sometimes feel 232. I look at photos taken now and still say Yuk I look fat. I then noticed my reflection in a store window and said Hmm not too bad. But then some time other times I think yuk you are fat!! I think it will all take awhile for our minds to catch up to our bodies. I am almost 5'2" and my Dr. really hasn't set a goal ( I see him in 2 weeks) so maybe then. The charts say I should weigh 126 I am just striving for 120. I weighed 110.. 36 years ago when we got married but I know after 3 kids and learning to like junk food it all went downhill. I realize I am not young anymore. I am 53. So I just figured if I could hit that goal maybe I will have a few pounds to play with if I happen to gain. Which they say you do some. I will never gain as I did in the past. I know. I posted a couple new pics. on my site last Thurs. It was my 6 month anniversary. Have a great week. See less of you next time. Now I need to go weigh in with Stephanie. Hugs~ Roxanne

Wow Janie, Grats! That is awesome, how does it feel to run? Is it fun yet? lol I'm right there with you on the reduction thing, time to start saving up :P Michele

Thanks Michelle! Well I actually don't run fast, it's more of a slow jog, but more than walking. Thanks again!

Wooooooooot!!! That is so awesome Janie. A great big congrats. What is your goal weight? Anna

Thanks Anna! Well, my goal weight was 135 , but now that I'm 12 lbs away I think it should be more like 125. Both weights are in the normal range for my height (5'2) I for sure feel like I need to lose more than 12 lbs though. We'll see. Thanks again.

Hooray, I can't wait to be there. I feel like you, Roxanne and Holli are the trend setters, just getting there before us so you can pass those weights right on down to us, kind of like the clothing exchange thing. So keep going girl, so I can follow in your footsteps. Sorry I didn't post sooner, I sprain my right wrist Sunday helping my twin move....urgh! Hugs, Lindy
