100 pounds gone forever!

Hi Michelle,

Congrats on losing 130, that's great!  I sometimes tell people I haven't weighed recently too.  Especially my Grandma (God love her!!) because I see her every week if not more often and she asks me every time she sees me.  Some weeks I lose very little or none at all and she doen't know enough about all this to understand that our bodies need to catch up and that there will be weeks that I don't lose.  She means well, and I've tried to explain things to her but it's sometimes just easier to tell her I haven't weighed lately.

I've had people call me skinny too, which just blows my mind.  I still have at least 60 or 70 pounds to lose (and I think most of it's in my stomach area!!) and for someone to call me that just sounds WRONG.  I've been overweight for as long as I can remember and have NEVER been called skinny, so it sounds almost like a sick joke to me.  I know they mean it as a compliment, so I tell them thank you, but I totally understand what you mean.

Maybe you should tell hubby that those comments make you uncomfortable.  I'm sure he has no idea you feel that way because he is probably just trying to make you feel good and let you know that he notices all your hard work.

Melissa, that is just awesome!  I can only hope to do as well in 6 1/2 months time!

What a way to start the new year!

Thanks Christie!

You're off to a great start, so I'm sure you will pass me by in no time at all!  Keep up the good work!

Melissa

Lissa,

You need to adopt my response "Thanks, I was trying to loose the "fat" Olsen twin"   I figure she's about 100 lbs - so now I've lost her!

Frankie

That's a good one!  I'll have to remember that...although hopefully I won't have too many people making comments like that anymore.  I don't think she meant it mean...she's just one of those people that says exactly what they are thinking.  It didn't offend me, I just had no idea what to say.  Now I do, thanks!!
Melissa

Congrats Melissa!!!  Good Job!  I am proud of you!

Thanks Tracy!  It still doesn't seem real...

Melissa

Congrats sweetie!!! You ARE looking good!!!!  Just tell the former boss... Yep just lost another boss... Useless mass that hangs around to make people miserable...

Linda Kay

Thanks Linda!

Boy I've had a few bosses that I would like to say something like that to (and I know you have too) but not this one...she's a sweetheart.  She just doesn't think before she speaks.

That's a good one though!!

Melissa

Wow Melissa!  Way to go.  Isn't it nice to hit the new year without saying, "Guess my resolution will be to lose weight".  It's a given now!  You're doing a great job.  Congrats on that important and wonderful milestone.

Smooches,
Jacqui
