Half of Me:The Story of Fat Girl Slim

I am sure you has this information somewhere, but hw long did it take you to lose the first 70 or so?
What have you changed- if anything- since then that would slow it to a crawl.
Not the weight loss is the whole picture here- you are losing inches and looking so much better overall- but I am just wondering.
 
I started this in January of 2007. It has taken me all this time to lose the 75-77 I have lost.

It has been a crawl the entire time.

I am just used to it :)
 
Gotcha.

Logic problem/solution for you....

Fat is learning impared

I should have been more specific - my fat is learning impaired. I didn't mean to disparage yours. :D
 
Hope your weigh-in is a goot vun.

Speaking of such, I need to challenge my ground pressure soon, also.

Happy Weekending :)
 
I went out to dinner with a friend of mine tonight and decided to treat myself to a nice, quasi-reasonable meal.

We went to Redstone, which I had never been to before, really nice place, sort of expensive. I had two martinis (pomegranite and something called a Stoli Doli, yum), buffalo shrimp appetizer (2 1/2 shrimp) and seared seczchuan chilean sea bass with root vegetables. The whole thing was delicious!

We then went to Cold Stone and I had a small Birthday Cake Remix as a treat.

Everything was amazing and tasty and while it was more than I normally ate, I didn't come away with the feeling that I had blown it.

Wahoo!
 
So I sit here on a cloudy Jersey morning feeling extremely pleased with myself.

After my meal last night I woke up this morning looking pretty lean (Keith, you were right :)) so I decided to take a hop on the evil scale to see what I could see.

185.2

YAY!!! Finally a freaking drop in weight!!!! :party:

I no longer live and die by the scale mentality but I have to say that there is a certain amount of satisifaction that comes from having that POS piece of machinery have to acknowledge my progress :D

So I do my weigh-ins in the ole birthday suit (sorry if that is TMI folks) so I checked myself out in the mirror when I was done.

Today, I really saw it. I look almost normal...I mean I have my stomach and other related issues, but I really look so much less than I used to. It nearly took my breath away. I can see where I am going more than from whence I came. It as sort of a breakthrough moment for me, realizing that I am really, reallly going to do this, for keeps this time.

I am so excited today, I am hoping nothing happens to change it :) I know that my original goal of 150 is just going to be a stopping point, I don't know what the bottom number is going to be but I'm 90% sure that isn't it.

I can't wait to see where this goes.

I saw my dad last night (he watched Abby for me while I went out) and we were talking about how no one in my family will go up with him in a plane (he has his private pilot's license, I have never been up with him). I told him that I never went with him because I thought that those planes had weight limits and my weight combined with his would put us over the limit (I was the heaviest person in my immediate family, even more than my dad, who is 6'2").

He explained to me that isn't how you weight a plane, it has to do with fuel and cargo and the passengers, etc. During that conversation I told him that my highest weight was 275 (right after having Abby) and that when I started losing weight, I was 264. I then told him that I was currently 187 or so. He gave me this big hug, kissed me on the forehead and told me he was proud of me.

There is nothing like making Dad proud. It was a nice moment.

All in all a good two days. Measurements to be posted in my pictures thread.
 
Nice job on the drop :)

Now get off the pc and get some outdoorness, even if it's a trip to The Taj or The Trop. Parlay your stimulus rebate into a baller stack.

Congrats on the loss :cheers2:
 
Thanks Randy...I was happy to see it, it sure has been a while :)

I have terrible luck at the casinos, but I will find some good use for the money.
 
Quite weekend for me...I had a shortened workout today but I made sure it was a tough one. I was out running errands most of the day and didn't get to eat a real meal until dinner, no heart problems however, which was great.

I hope I didn't overdo it, logic tells me that I couldn't/didn't but the paranoia that is alive and well in my head says otherwise. Eh, I lost weight, I lost inches, I think I am fine.

I am so excited I can barely stay in my own skin :)

Good things await I hope.
 
I wish I had been on this weekend to see this!
That is fantastic Ali. What is even better is the new vision you have of yourself. The scale could change all day but until you start to like how you look and see changes you will never be happy/satisfied with what you are doing.
Great job.
Love the part with your dad....
 
Thanks Brian - it was one hell of a moment...I just need more of them, it shows me that what I am doing is working at least.

I am wearing an ankle bracelet today for the first time - another small non-scale victory. I just can't wait to see how this all turns out :)
 
Sweetie you are doing great.
You have to see that everything you are doing is good. Even if the scale never moves another inch you have made such positive permanent changes in your life.
That is what is more important IMO. You could lose all the weight you need/want to in 2 months if you wanted to. You are getting the entire body healthy. You are eating right and exercising like you should. You are doing all this while working a demanding job and being a great mother to your daughter.
You are amazing and I do not think you realize it yet........
 
Haha, thanks Randy - I may have but I am still working on wrapping the ole noggin around it I guess.
