I'm in the 150's!!!!

The scales have been stingy lately; holding on to 160 for dear life. I'd about decided that I probably won't see 150 for my 50th birthday. Well, today I got on the scale and to my astonishment and delight, I weigh 156!!!!!! OMG! I don't know if I ever really believed that I would ever weigh 150 anything! I might just get 150 for my 50th birthday after all.

Last night I was noticing that my size 10 cords are a little lose, I think I'll go to Goodwill and see if I can zip up more than a vanity 8.

Thanks for letting me share my little WOW!

WOW is right Barb!  Isn't that just how the scales work sometimes?  Nothing, nothing, nothing, and then a dramatic drop!  :)  Yippee!  I'm in awe of a size 10, not to mention a size 8! So, when is the big birthday?

Feb. 9th! I was hoping to go on the Cruise this month to celebrate, but that's not in the cards. Maybe my husband, daughter and I will be able to find a way to go down the beach. I love the ocean and that would be a great way to celebrate.

I can't believe that I now have less than 20 lbs to get to my "goal" weight. When I originally, put that goal weight in, I thought it was "pie in the sky", but I'm beginning to wonder if I might just get there.

Barb

P.S. I'll let you know if I can actually get into more than a vanity 8 ;-)

Barb you are a Super Fab 50!  I bet you can get to 150 by Feb 9th.  Either way, you've done great! I turned 50 last year on Jan 3rd.  My goal in 2006 was to lose 50 pounds by the time I turned 50; well that didn't happen.  Then with the decision to have this surgery I made a wild goal to lose 51 pounds by Jan 3rd (yesterday) when I turned 51.  Well, I made it and it felt really good to actually meet a weight loss goal for a change.   My next goal is to get to ONDERLAND  by the time I have my next doctors apt in Feb.   Keep up the great work.  Alice 

Thanks Alice!

You too!

Way to go Barbara! I am so happy for you. I am not far behind you weight wise.....just wish I had the extra 5 inches in height that you have......lol. I would be happy if I did. There are times when being so short is a bummer. But, I have been this way for close to 45 years and it's not gonna change.....lol!  Anyhow, I believe you will be in 8's and will most likely get to a 6. That would be great huh? You are doing super and my best friend Mandy looked at your pics and said you need not wear black against the black backgroud cause it was hard to see you in the pic. She did say you look fabulous though! So next time you may need to break out some new color for the next shots! Anyhow, take care! Lisa

Tell your friend Mandy I said thanks! They shot against the dark background so that you would see my face ... I wasn't as focused on having a body shot as maybe I should have been ... you know how long we've all been hiding in the dark? I have to say I haven't felt this pretty since .... I honestly can't remember when.

Thanks again for the kudos.

Barb

P.S. I was just over 5 feet tall when I married Ben ... Can you believe I got all of this height later?

 

YAY BARB!  That is not a little wow IT IS A BIG OLE WOW!!!    I would be shouting that from the rooftops!!!  And GW Hunting is the best!  You need to cruise down the Charlotte way and go with us one day!!

Thanks Jennifer!

I think you are right ... Goodwill Hunting can be a blast. I like going with someone more than on my own though ... Maybe if we are able to do an all state get together we can arrange some Goodwill Hunting Expeditions!

Barb

That would be COOL.  :)
