Didn't meet my Valentine's Day mini-goal...

After being sick last week and not exercising, and eating out three times this past weekend for three different birthdays...I didn't meet my mini-goal. I was 202 when I got on the scale yesterday and THE SAME today!!! 2.5 pounds from my mini-goal. I can TASTE IT!!!! Sooooo close to onederland. However, my size 16 jeans are fitting me comfortably now and a ring that hubby bought me for our first Christmas when we were dating now FITS!!!! My wedding bands don't fit anymore, but this ring is so unique and gorgeous that I hated to have it sit in my jewelry box. I now wear it in place of my wedding rings because it means the same to me as they do. A commitment from the man I love. I just love to look at it, it is so pretty. A beautiful marquee (sp) shaped aquamarine on a wide band with like hand cut hearts and squiggles in the band. You should see it. WAAAYYYYY to nice for a first Christmas gift to someone you are just dating. Hee Hee. Anyways I haven't been able to wear it for the past 8 years or so. Can't remember the last time I wore it. I'm not too upset about not meeting my mini-goal. My Daughters birthday party is on Saturday. I hope to get there by then. We'll see. I have atleast reached my -80 pound loss milestone. That's something to brag about. Hope everyone else is meeting their mini-goals if they have set them!!! Hugs, Tabby

*HUGS* What a great attitude you have!!!! You will make that goal in no time!!! I hear you about the wedding rings. I have gone through 2 now lol and thats all I have and I am not resizing anything till I am at goal lolol. What a great birthday present for your little girl!! Her mommy happy and healthy!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Thanks, Felicia. I am definately excited about how happy and healthy I am getting. I am going to have so much fun with the kids this summer. I plan on going to water parks and the zoo and maybe even an amusement park this summer. I will not be exhausted all the time and will go outside and play in the yard with them and not just sit on the swing and watch them. It is going to be the best summer EVER!!! I am also looking forward to getting a tan and LOOKIN' GOOD in my shorts this year!!! OK...maybe a rub-on take, but a tan, nonetheless. Hee Hee. I'm with you, I am not resizing anything until I get to goal. My one watch I really liked is too big on me and I am close to fitting into the watch my dad got me for Christmas. It is still tight to put on and pinches my wrist with the band, but will fit me good in no time. I am also now able to wear a bracelet my dad got me last Christmas. (Dad likes to buy his girls a piece of jewelry every Christmas...lucky us!) Hugs, Tabby

WOW 80lbs! WOW WOW WOW Sorry but that is what comes to mind! I am sure you will be at your mini goal in no time! BUT>>>>> it sounds like the inches are flying away! I hear ya on the ring thing. We just got married in Aug and I have not even had it a year yet and it already does not fit. I wear it if I am not going places but not too much as I am afraid to lose it. I want to get it resized bit it is a 5 1/2 now and I am afraid a 5 will not look the same (I know small fingers...maybe one day the body will match the fingers!). Anywho I am sooo cheering for you to reach your mini goal! We will all be here to do a happy with you! Hugs! Melissa

Thanks for the support, Melissa. I will definately be looking forward to that happy !!! Might even help me lose a couple more. DAMN GIRL...you've got tiny fingers. In no time, your body will be matching your fingers. I'm probably wearing a size 9 even after losing 80 lbs. I've got big fingers, atleast they are long and not short and stubby, I guess. I like the way they look right now. I'm afraid to wear my rings and lose them, too. Thanks again, Tabby

Girl you are doing wonderful!!! -80 lbs gone is great!! You will get those pesky 2.5 lbs gone in no time. I had to go and get those ring things in the back of your rings for all my rings so that they would fit better. I do not worry about them so much. Mine rings are a size 7 so I want to wait for a few more lbs before getting them resized. You are going to be in onederland soon!!! Hugs~~ Deanne

80lbs!!!!! WOW! You'll enter onederland any day now. You have accomplished so much! I am so proud of you! Hugs Allison

WHAT A GREAT SUPRISE AND THRILL FOR YOU THAT THE RING YOU RECEIVED WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED DATING IS FITTING NOW. WAH HOO!!!! AND A SIZE 18? GIRL, I'M SO JEALOUS, ARE THEY THE TYPE W/ A REGULAR WAIST? YOU KNOW THE TYPE, BUTTON AND ZIPPER? OH! I CAN ONLY DREAM. 80 POUNDS, WHAT A FANTASTIC ACCHEIVEMENT. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND ENJOY YOUR DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY. DONNA, SFT :
