Had a great week

My weight loss lately has been slow , but last week I lost 5.5 lbs. It was so nice. It really motivated me. It's hard to believe the unbelievable changes in my body.
 
I literally have nothing that fits me anymore. I have one pair of jeans that is the right size and 2 capri pants. I just went to one of the consignment shops to buy about 5 shirts, only I bought them smaller cause I figure In couple of weeks they will fit right. I bought 2 size 12 shorts, they fit just a tiny tad snug but really 6 lbs and they will fit perfect. About the shorts, I am actually wearing shorts, haven't wore any in about 4 years. Yay!! My legs are not so white anymore have a bit of a tan now :) I really need to go on a shopping spree soon.

When I see my reflection in  a window as I go into a building I can't believe its mine. It's such a good feeling. On the down side. This hair loss really sucks. Thank goodness I was blessed with a full head of thick hair so its not as noticeable to other people but me. But I hate when I brush or wash my hair and so much of falls of. My hair is not as shiny as it used to be, hate that, b/c I may have been  heavy in the past but my hair was always my best feature and I have always been complimented on it.

I took a hoola hoop class at the YMCA. I absolutely loved it. I even ordered a hoola hoop so that I can do this at home as the class is only once a week. Its not  a hoola hoop like you buy at the store, these are a bit heavier so they actually stay up as you hoola. I would really recommend this type of exercise it is not strenuous but you get results.

Well have to get ready for work tomorrow. I want to say Welcome to all the new comers. If you are on here its because you have decided to start a healthier life style. Good for you!! and good luck. This site was a life saver for my in the beginning and it still is.

Good For You!!!!! You are doing great. Be proud of your efforts. Have you put recent pics on your profile? take care,   Mag  

Thanks Mag,

I have not placed any new pics. I just have to find the time to get them taken. My daughter normaly takes the pics and she is a hard one to tie down, she is so involved in so many things. She has a soccer tournament this weekend maybe  I can get her to take them when we get home on Sunday.

You are awesome,  I have noticed how you take the time to respond to everyone's post. You are very dedicated and it makes us feel good to be acknowledged with positive praise. Keep it up we like it

You are doing awesome, especially considering you just had your wls in January! Do you have a link to that hula hoop? I'd like to check it out. Keep up the great effort! You are such an inspiration!

Thanks Patrece,  I will have to ask the instructor of the class if there is a link for the hula hoop. He makes them him self.

The instructors are a husband and wife team, the wife lost over 100 lbs and the husband lost 60 lbs hula hooping. I remember reading an article in the paper about them last year, and he was telling me they were also on good morning america promoting the hula hoop as exercise. I have not met the wife yet, He says her classes are more intense. I hope I can make it to one of her classes to compare. I did not find his class intense but it was an hour long and I hula'd the whole time lol, it was fun. lol
