omg!!

So i told myelf I woundn't get on the scale for two weeks.......had a doctors appointment  this
a.m. And OMG I'm at 239. Woohoo!!!!
Then if things couldn't get better. i ran into an old (male) friend and he said "Esther you're looking good girl"! We should hang out sometime.........HOLY COW!!! (of course I told him i was married) LUCK GUY....he said. Now isn't that crazy how this man has made my day. ?Can't even tell you how happy and how good it made me feel. Compliments are always nice to hear!  LMAO

GO YOU!!!  That's great!   Strut your stuff today girl! :)  You deserve it.

thanks guys......THAT'S it I'm going to the gym tonight and work it. Did I tell every one I started taking Salsa lessons at the gym......i have no latin soul. But at least I can  TRY to make it look good LMAO!

Dayem, girl....  you're doing so well... and of course that guy asking you to hang out had to give you a boost!!


When I was in FL this past weekend, I ran into a woman I'd always run with.  I was always the 300# person she had chosen to mak herself feel better.  Women do this... 


So.. I run into her and she's like "HOLY CRAP LORI.. YOU LOOK FANTASTIC OMG".. and just going off.. now THAT made my day.  Besides, she's put on about 100 lbs since I last saw her and I'd like reestablish a dialogue with her.  Now she's the diabetic instead of me.. that's what I worry about.

Things like this really give us some added incentive.. doesn't it.  I felt like my weekend was a HOLY CRAP weekend everytime I ran into someone...   My 210 lbs might look bad to other people , but sure looked good to the people who only knew me at over 300.


GOOD FOR YOU GIRLIE, GIRL..

Esther & Lori,

Great for both of you.  Nothing makes you feel better.  You deserve the compliments for all your hard work!

Nothing tastes as good as slim feels....an old WW adage but would like to prove that someday.  We're all getting there, one step at a time.

Congratulations Esther (and Lori).....compliments are the best....what a motivator to keep on going.

awesome!!! congrats!!! I can tell that you are feeling great!!! Compliments are great and it gets you motivated or keeps you motivated!!! We always loving hearing the good things!!!

So how much are you down now??

thanks Stacey, tha's 12 down and 13 to go......hey  I told you I would hide the scale lol
And yep, compliments are always a great way to keep you motivated. We need to try it on each other DAILY!

Thats great!!! How do you eat on any typical day? Are you still eating?? you better be!!! :) I am just curious...I have weighed at the docs office since i've been on the pills..someone asked today if i'm losing weight..and i said i dont know...she said well i can tell that you are..so we will see..it'd be nice to see the scale go down.I'm not doing my workouts as much..but i'm active and moving a lot the whole time i'm at work. Most people know how it is..you get home and you have the cooking and cleaning and kids to tend too..but anywho!!

That's awesome!!

Ester- Have you tried Zumba? I've been taking Zumba at my YMCA since Oct. 2007 and I'm totally addicted. It's a fusion of Latin moves (samba, salsa, cumbia, etc.) in an aerobic workout. I'm going to be certified to teach it in Oct.! I can't wait.
