Looking to lose an extra human I apparently picked up along the way

Thinking that rallyecars have stickers on them instead of normal finish to save 5 kilo´s in weight I wonder what your weightloss is doing for the environment ;)
 
Hyundai-Kia (same company) were rated the greenest auto manufacturer this year ousting Honda. The Forte looks nice. A good compromise between practical and sporty. Similar mileage to my Corolla. Congrats!
 
I drive a Kia Rio & bought it because it was really comfortable & CHEAP. Instead of the Honda Jazz I had my eye on, I decided that $10,000 in my bank account, after buying the Kia, was a much better option. Now that we only have one car, we are finding it is way too small, but it is also incredibly economical to run. The Forte looks pretty snappy & a hybrid? Excellent!
 
185 this morning. Today is July 1, 2014. On July 1, 2012 I walked into the health club for my first workout and officially started my self improvement plan weighing 375 pounds. Today is the two year Anniversary of that day.

It's been in neutral the last few months (which I plan to change) and I'm my harshest critic, but it is still nice to have the kind of success I've had so far.

Will post the two year comparison pics later on today.
 
You sir and your intense committment and perseverance have my respect and admiration. Well done!

Think of all the things you can now choose to do that you could not have 2 years ago.

The world is your oyster Mr. Vee! Grab that sucker!
 
Happy 2 year anniversary V! (3 days late!) I remember well the mixed feelings when I reached my goal weight. A huge focus was taken away & it felt like I had to re-learn who I was. It has taken years to really adjust to not being that other person & not to feel defined by my size. It is a shame that we had to go through those years, but one thing we can both take away is that we were capable enough & determined enough to make drastic changes. There are so many people out there who simply cannot do it. Be proud of yourself V & enjoy your healthy life. You have been much braver than me. I was too ashamed to take before photos, so could not really compare as I went. Looking forward to seeing that 2 year photo. Once again- WELL DONE! Cheers, xo Cate.
 
Ah, so now you're slim & have a new car, have we been left behind? ;) ....on to greener pastures? GF maybe?.......
Seriously though V- we need success stories in here & I, for one, hope you stick around! Cheers, Cate.
 
Yeah I'm still here but have had a bad couple of weeks. Haven't worked out since the 4th of July and have generally slacked off on just about everything. My two year anniversary didn't have the inspirational effect I had hoped.

Trying to get my focus back but it isn't easy.
 
You´re not alone in struggling, but I really think it´s easier when I keep writing. Sending hugs just in case they´re needed.
 
I didn't want to be the one to say "now is the toughest part" but now is when you can do the things that I didn't. Don't stop weighing & being vigilant with your diet & exercise, don't lose that positive vibe about yourself & what you are capable of, be proud of what you have achieved & never regain any more than 5lbs of what you lost or you will be dieting for the rest of your life. I'm sending you a great big hug & lots of strength. You can do it Vee. Chin up & keep going. Focus on being as healthy as you can forever, xoxo Cate
 
Oh MrVee! Thank gosh you are still on here and making it work!!!! Every time I come back to try again, I pray you are still here, inspiring everyone to DO IT!!! Thanks MrVee!!
 
Don't hide yourself away please Vee. You'll get back on track, but I think it helps to journal. Sometimes just trying to put something down helps you to come to terms with it & move forward. We'll miss you if you're not here! Cheers, Cate.
 
I hope you don't pull a prolonged disappearing act like I did Vee. Do as I say not as I do. I really think we are better off on here.
