Finally -- 3 SVs!!

So I had this post all planned out a couple weeks ago and then I hit a stall.  Two weeks at just above 200 pounds.  So for the last few days I have cut my carbs in half, and stopped eating the crackers that I found myself snacking on throughout the day.  I will note that crackers on are my plan, and that I spoke with the dietitian recently and she suggested eating them for the salt content due to my low blood pressure.  I think I gave myself leave to overindulge because of this go-ahead.  I did freak out a bit thinking that was going to be it for my weight loss, but I was determined to get things back on track.

Anyways, I cut the carbs, have been busting my butt at the gym and today I woke up to finally see the scale under 200, aka onederland.  This is quite a milestone for me because it also means I have met my clinic's weight loss goal and I have lost over 100 pounds from my highest weight (I lost some weight before I started tracking here).  My BMI is now in the "overweight" range. 

I've also had lots of NSVs -- we went to see a play in Stratford over the weekend and I was quite comfortable in the seats.  I went shopping in the states last week and could fit into most of the non-plus size stores, and ended up buying four dresses. And I can walk all day and my feet don't get sore.  I'm sure there are other things, I just can't think of them at the moment.

Through all of this, I remember reading other peoples' posts saying they had lost so much weight, etc. and being frustrated or jealous of them.  I didn't think I would ever get here.  But I got the best compliment yesterday from a guy I work with -- he said I looked happier.  And that really is the goal isn't it?

The "walking all day without sore feet" bit really hits home for me. It means so many things in my day to day life. I was pushing 400 lbs, and now in the 240 range I was able to walk all day at Wonderland with the kids and while my leg muscles WERE sore the next day.. I could walk. I remember some mornings the strain on my feet and ankles would be so bad that I would limp around the house - without having done anything strenuous the day before. Congratulations on Onederland, I cannot wait for that day. :)

Great perserverence...worth every minute of working & waiting.

This is awesome to hear Meggles !!!!! I'm so happy for you :-) Keep up the amazing work :-) !!!!!
