congratulations on your girls' team! you must be so proud! :)

youre doign such a great job wtih your owrkouts! it's so hard for me to stay focused on 1 workout and do it for more than half an hour. it's always a struggle when i get past about 25 minutes. whats yourrr secret? ;) haha.

anyway, thanks for always being so encouraging! :) HOPE THE REST OF YOUR WEEK GOES SMOOTHLYY!! have fun in class!
 
My secret is simple..My ipod. I put it on random and I never know what is gonna pop up. I have like 1100 songs on there. If something slow or sappy comes up I just skip to the next one. Some times it is something pretty current and sometimes it is a time machine back to the eighties! Fast tunes..thats my secret.
Small victory report. I was looking for something to wear this morning and I came across this pair of pants that have been hanging in my closet for 4 years! Okay I know that is kinda embarrassing and when I was fatter I would start to put them away and I would leave them there in the intent of "reminding me" to lose some weight.
Guess what I have on today? You got it! They were a bit snug but not near as tight as I thought they would be. These are size 40! In October my 44s were too tight and I had actually bought one pair of 46's I only have 2 pairs of 40's...Im fixin to need some new clothes. I think I have a box of old skinny clothes out in the shed from like 6 years ago. Im gonna get them out this weekend...Probably all out of style...Maybe I can find some MC Hammer parachute pants from 1988! Ha

omg! thats so funny that you mentioned that! today at work, i was wearing black dress pants that are obviously wayyyy wayyy wayyy too big for me now. im just not buying any new clothes until im down to 130 but these pants are a little ridiculous. my coworkers are so proud of me but they laughed at my pants and told me that i had parachute pants on. slash GENIE pants. ahh!!

hope those old clothes look BOMB on you! :)
 
Thanks Luxie I am looking forward to some new threads. Or dusting off some old ones
Rode bike this morning 41 minutes. Eating light today..weigh in in the morning.

Howdy My virtual Buds!
Good weekend but I didnt go near a computer. Had a great Valentines day! Mrs Brawny really let me know she is enjoying my weight loss (wink wink).;)
As a matter of fact she has been letting me know that a lot lately!
Also went to a valentines banquet put on by the youth kids at church (you should have seen my 13 year old son trying to be a waiter) I ate the chicken and the steamed brocolli but I passed on the fancy brownie thing that they had for dessert. I did eat a breadstick (nobodys perfect).
Weighed in Sat morning...291.8 Thats 1.4 lost last week. I was kinda hopin I might be in the 280s by now but slow loss is still loss. My body has a way of holding on and holding on to weight for 2-3 weeks..then turning lose of 4-5lb all at once so I am still happy.
Hell Im better than happy....I went to the local exxon station convienience store here in my small town this morning and the old men in there actually commented on how skinny I am getting. Im surprised they could see me through all that cigarette smoke they were pumpin out...
One more small victory...I woke up this mornin ...on my stomach!!! I havent been able to sleep on my stomach in several years because my gut was so big it was like a sleeping on a speed bump., My back felt great after sleeping like that!! We need to make alist of the tiny little things that being fat steals from your quality of life...I am so feakin determined...I am gonna hit that 289 and then I will post a pic on Altas challenge page and yall can see if you see any difference. Now Im off to some of yalls pages cause I gotta make sure yall are still on this Crazy Train To Skinny Town!!!

Brawny! So glad to hear you had a good VDAY! Congrats on being able to sleep on your tummy! There are definitely a lot of small things that have changed for me that make me soo happy! For me, I'm finally able to start seeing my collar bone! They had been hiding under my fat for too long! I know that doesn't sound like much to most people but it's those little changes that make me excited. I AM SO PUMPED FOR YOU! Sleep on your stomach every night now! :)
 
Hello just dropping by as I have seen you around a bit. Looks like you are doing a fantastic job, now I am off to chekc out those pics! Keep up the good work and do come over and join us in the new challenge, all one team, supportive chatting and weekly challenges, it will go along well with the picture challenge, matter of fact I am posting my pic from before first 6 weeks, today, and then after the next 6 weeker!
 
Hello Tuesday!

Hi to the new friends that popped on here! How cool is that when somebody new stops by!
And extra special thanks to my old buds on here (old..ha we've only been posting for like 6 weeks but we have covered some ground together havent we?)

Now for a deep thought from Brawny (pay attention because they dont happen very often).......I went back to the thread from when I started posting on here. It was the first week of Jan and I started on the newcommer thread. Do yall realize most of those who started then are long gone from this place? I mean that so describes me so many other times...Start hard for a few days maybe a few weeks drop 5, 10 maybe even 20 and then.....wham...off the wagon for whatever reason. I got a lot of reasons that I let derail me in the past, an injury...I got sick so I couldnt exercise for a few days...I couldnt pass up that good food at the superbowl party...I didnt have time to fix anything healthy so I will just hit the drive through....(Yall know don't you?) Then it would be well I will start back up tomorrow...then it would be I will start back up someday....Well I'm standing here right here right now to tell you that THE ROAD CALLED SOMEDAY LEADS TO A TOWN CALLED NOWHERE!!! I am shakin the dust of that town off my feet and I am very glad and thankful to have had the encouragement of some of you cool people. Now is the time and this is the place.
Okay deep thought now over. Back to dumb jock mentality...UHG Put me in coach!
 
:party:Hey homie how are you?? Yes we are gonna get skinny I know we are it's just taking a minute and I always lose certain places so much quicker... But I get it If I make it to my goal which I will..:party: then I'm sure I will even out... Hey r u joining the challenge?? You should it seems like it will be a lot of fun...
