INTO ACTION!!!

OK, so I have gone all proactive again and taken the bull by the horns.  I started journaling my food at Fitday.com and wasn't being as bad as I was guilting myself out to be.  I realized there was no way I could NOT lose weight on what I have been eating.  But the awarenesses of where my calories were coming from was an eye opener and caused me to make some adjustments. I needed a little morale boost so this weekend I ordered 3 pairs of size 12 designer jeans from EBay.  Then I ordered a suit in a 12 petite and a dress in a TEN PETITE!!!  I need something hanging in that closet that I can shoot for!  Something to motivate me! And this afternoon after work I went to the gym and had my first session with the trainer!  Had a good workout and will go back tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Good for you Suzanne!!  And guess what.. Looking at your ticker, you are HALF WAY THERE GIRL!!  Keep your chin up and stay on the straight and narrow.  You will be in those size 12's before you know it!

Thanks, Jen.  You know, when I set that last pound lost on the ticker, I COULD have set it for 2 lbs lost and I would really be half-way there!  But I was afraid it might not be really gone, y'know?  But it was still gone when I got home from work, lol!  If it is still not back by the time I go to bed (I am SO sick!  LOL!) then maybe I will have the courage to take another pound off on that ticker AND that will put me into the 150s!!!!   That's been a LONG time since I have seen them! And I don't think it will be dreadfully long before I can wear those 12s...I wear some 14s comfortably now.  God, you know, this is really a miracle!  No wonder it takes our heads so much time to catch up! Thanks for letting me ramble.

Good for you Suzanne! yes the smaller clothes are a great motivator! my gown for the ball is a 16 and it fits perfect... when I ordered it I couldnt zip it up.. I will take some pics next week of me in my Cinderella gown Keep up the good work Suz!!! your doing great!

Love ya
Darcie

Good for you suz!  I fully understand about being afraid to move your ticker.  I was apprehensive about setting mine under 200, I went almost a full week expecting the weight to come back, it never did, as you can see. I did a suz today also, I bid on a couple pr. of 14's on e-bay.  I purchased one pr. at goody's today, but again, it's kinda's scary thinking I might gain it back and waste all that money, lol.  (I'm silly too).  Am SO glad that you kept that gym appt.  Is he cute?  hehehe.  I bet once you start working out, those pounds will just melt off!......You go girl! Love ya, Nancy

That's right, little woman! Show us how it's done!   

Good for you Suzanne. Keep up the good work.

I will make my huband  all night with me when I get in a size 14 paints or dresses LOL.

Hi Suz's-  I am SO PROUD of you for hitting the gym- its soooo hard to get that initial motivation- but easier with each passing day! GO GURL!!! I think we all struggle with the purchasing smaller sizes- I literally pulled out my pre-op photo pants ( size 20's) and had to compare them side by side to my new size 10 jeans.....my head looks at those little jeans and can not comprehend that I fit into those......For me- seeing recent, updated photos is helping my head catch up..... Can not wait to hear about the victory as you wear your new clothes proudly! Keep it up girl. You looked simply radiant on Sunday! Love ya, Sheila

Just a quick note to tell you how beautiful I thought you were looking on Sunday!  Such an enormous difference since the last time I had seen you, which really wasn't that long ago!  You looked a good 10 years younger on Sunday! Size 10s eh?  Pretty awesome!

Blushes.....must be all the FISH I am catching! LOL I have so much more energy since WLS and honestly, I have never felt this fit and healthy in my entire life! Thanks for your very kind words. We need to plan an activity up towards J'ville? Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a Sunday afternoon movie outing? Sheila
