I haven't been here for a good while, wow!
Well im down to 205 :D ....only 5lbs to go before i break the 200's, cannot wait!
Everything has been well...eating habits did not change still very strikt with myself, eating properly...it actually comes naturally these days sometimes i don't even count calories (as in i dont write them down)...i know at the top of my head how much i've consumed in a day and i track it like that. I have been slacking with the gym the last two weeks...but i had my dance practice to sub in for that.
I've been on my period all week now so ...hell no...that is my one week i get to be gymless in my own misery lol. I am actually to be honest only now realizing the difference in my image....anything i put on looks good and funny story too...i just had my updated drivers licence sent to me which i had to take a new picture for..and this picture i took a month or so ago...and oh god...i look so much bigger in it :S i might have to go re-take it again in a another 2 months lol.

anywho...ill post some new pics soon too :)

have a great weekend people!
 
Nice 5 more pounds! It's so good to hear that your completely changing your lifestyle. It's really the best when eating healthy and exercising comes naturally. I know that there's nothing that can stop you now :D.

haha same thing happened to me. I've lost about 25 pounds since I took my driver's liscence photo and I look so different! I want to get a new photo because the picture I have look so bad :(. But I'm excited to compare the two pictures because I took the first picture at one of my worst weights and I've changed a lot since then! Excited to see the difference!

o hey!

It's been a while phew!
Well im under 200lbs....last week i was 199 :):):):)
Slow month...haven't been hitting the gym and eating is good although i must confess that this week i've been a bad girl. Nothing too bad but u know i haven't been watching my carbs..expecially since im a wholewheat nut...ive been bad there and also i haven't been counting my calories...but i'm not like going crazy eating everything.
I still watch the portions how much of what and when. This month's just been crazy, I just got into a new relationship and it's been taking so much of my personal time including work and everything else. But the week is over and I'm ready to get back into gear to get down to 180 by mid August. So 9lbs to go by Aug25th I wanna say.
Things have changed so much for me ever since i've lost 80+lbs and i am being told to stop dropping but I want to really get down to 170-175...that would be the "it" dream for me. I am telling you guys...who ever is just starting to lose weight....pull through! I know it's tough but you have no idea how life altering it is, you regain life.
I am dating again...my confidence is back full throttle, yes the little insecurities are still there but im on cloud 9 right now.

I am a size 12 in jeans, and i didnt even know until i walked into american eagel a week ago took two sizes, 14 and 12....and i was so shocked!
I CAN WEAR JEANS AGAIN! WOOT!
I used to be like a 22 before...thats a big step and my brain is still wrapping itself around the idea that im smaller but it's getting there.
I also really want to work out more on my stomach...it's still a little flabby and there's some lose skin so i dont know what ill do about the lose skin in the stomach area...ive been thinking surgery but not till later ...till i lose all the weight i want to lose.


Anyway guys...i hope everyone here is still doing good :) you know who you are :)
I am happy to be back in gear...you'll be hearing of me more these days and I will be posting pictures either tonight or tomorrow morning in my new jeans ;) lol
 
Congrats on the 1 in front!! yea!!! for under 200!!! it was the best feeling I had in a long time..and it made me determined to never ever see a 2 again!! well done your hard work is showing and you should be so proud!!
 
I hate when people tell me to stop dropping! It's my body, I'm going to eat healthy and exercise, if my weight drops then it should be dropping!

Anyways, great to hear that t your lifestyle has changed enough that you can still lose without really having to put 100% of your focus into it! That's great to hear. Congrats on the relationship, must feel good right? :D

Keep it going, you're doing great :).

thanks snezy! AND yes yes yes! I agree...they need to butt out.
And yes it's nice to be able to relax a little these days, before it was all about work, gym, work, gym..count calories like crazy...now it's nice to chill out and get back to life, a normal life hehe.
It's so funny how when a person is confident and just more comfortable with their own image, everything seems to just fall into place without even trying.
It's not even about image as much as it's about the feeling you have of yourself so when one starts to love themselves, and respect and be proud of themselves...it's like you become a magnet to people, they want to be around you and feed off of your energy.

I hope everyone can feel what i feel....
 
Hey there. I've been away too and just trying to catch up a bit with those i used to post to before. Sounds like you are making amazing progress.

I wish i could compute from pounds to kilograms in a flash. Ijust go oh half of htat number equals kilograms but its not quite accurate. I reckon keep going till you are well into your healthy weight range whatever that is. Its in the lower part of that healthy weight range that you really start to look you very best. I know cause i have jsut arrived. I'm going and trying things on and EVERYTHING looks great. Its hard not to spend money.

So ignore the naysayers. And when you look fabulous, you will really feel like a new woman, newer than you already do perhaps.

With the whole change of diet regime, i find eating easy now. I love cooking. I love my food, Having been through a significant diet threatening binge episode, i am over it and stable on my proper diet again now. I can do this forever.

I hope you will get to the same point but it sounds like you are mostly there too.
 
Congratulations Nevergiveup on reaching the 100's. WELL DONE!!!! Nice to hear that you're dating again & sounding happy. I'm really pleased for you. Keep it up sweets, xo Cate
 
hey all

omg it's been forever, i dont even know how long now :S

Well LOTS has changed, in a good way. I married 4 months ago to the love of my life, i am the happiest and life is good.

I did stop the gym for a couple of months now, I did gain back about 15lbs, but then again thats what happens when you stop excercising, and it's hard to be a health nut, when now you have a husband and son to feed, you tend to eat how those around you eat, but today after work i am hitting the gym for the first time after months and i am so excited.

wish me luck!
