Kaitie's Open Diary

Ok, I just got a MAJOR Christmas present penguin!!!! I went to the gym this afternoon and stepped on their scale----I weighed in at 179!!! Holy macaroni!!! 179! I came home and stepped on my scale and it said 183.5, 185, and numerous other variations, I put thirty five pounds of free weights on it and came up as 41 pounds---my conclusion is that my scale is broken! Since Saturday I've been completely annoyed because the scale went up when in reality it must have broken when I dropped it! Wahoo!! I'm going to the gym before I go to work tomorrow to 'officially' weigh in--I'm so excited!

Exercises for the day:

3 miles on the bike
50 sit-ups
70 Adductions
30 Abductions
30 leg lifts

Yippee!!
 
Nice job Kaitie. I for one am not surprised at your results but I'm damn sure proud of ya ;)

Maybe before it's all said and done we'll get a 'Venom in Denim' pic out of you yet ;)

New goal at 175 ?? Where do you go from there ??
 
T2: Here comes 150! I'm going clothes shopping on Monday *bites fingernails* and perhaps I'll take a few snap shots. ;)
 
wow thats fantastic!

you would like my broken scales better though - they stop at 50-60kg (100-120lb) until you jiggle on em in which case they just pick a random number which is always wrong :D
 
Hello everyone!!

Today was long and gosh I hate surprise observations. But she said it was 'fabulous!' so I imagine it went just fine.

Today's exercises:

2.75 miles on the bike
.25 mile on the elliptical
150 torso twists
110 sit-ups
30 chest presses
30 overhead presses
30 sitting leg presses

It's getting chilly outside!!
 
Kaitie... OMG.. that is just awsome. Some unexpected good news! You are on your way down.

Have fun shopping... you deserve some new stuff!
 
Kaitie, I'm so happy for you! I can't wait until I break 180; haven't been below that for 6 or 7 years, and that only briefly.

New clothes are so exciting, I may take pics in mine for my during pics:D
 
I'm seriously nervous about posting pictures of me up here....but maybe it'll help me to see the difference between the old me and the current me. Sometimes I just don't feel like I look any different than I did 25 pounds ago. I don't know, it's weird. I watched a show on Oprah about this lady (I think her name is Jackie) and she was almost 500 pounds and could hardly take care of herself anymore, then she got gastro. surgery and lost 250+ pounds. Anyway, she said that she still feels like the fat girl and questions if she'll fit in chairs, break the stool etc... I guess my brain still feels like I'm the fattest girl in the room, in the gym, at the store etc... It's a brain thing I know, and I seriously wasn't and am not the fattest girl in the room. I know that's kind of selfish to think but sometimes when you feel huge it makes you feel better to see someone else in the same boat.

Anyway, hopefully on Monday I'll get some self-confidence and actually see some of the results. I know, I'm goofy.

Thanks for stopping by everyone! I really love having people stop by!
 
Why don't you take a current pic just for yourself, so you can compare? Try to get the same pose as a previous one. Then you can be your own judge if you can see a difference or not:) I'm going to take one today and post it...:)
 
*UGH* I feel that way about 200lbs...my mini goal...I havent been below 200lbs in a looong time...but my heaviest was 240 when I joined Curves a year and a half ao...
 
I just wanted to say hi, I see that you post a fair amount and are always encouraging I thought I would stop by and read some of your diary...good for you for encouraging your husband along hte way as well...how is he doing weight wise and such...
 
Thanks!!

Today he went and weighed himself and he has officially lost 35 pounds. I'm really happy for him. I can't wait to see him below 400 pounds. He's 459 right now....a big success for him (for anyone I imagine)!!
 
Hi Katie! Just stopping by to see how our local excersize hero is doing. On the picture thing, maybe if you found a pic of yourself that you really hate, put on the same clothes and retake the pic then you will see a difference. And no need to post them here unless you really want to, I understand not wanting to.
