Hello my forum mother! :D

WOOO! You are going to dominate that milestone! Wanna know why? Because March is THE most awesome month of the year! :p So many of my family members hold a birthday in this month, it contains the first day of the wonderful spring time, AND my birthday is on the 16th =) March is a month of prosperity and good luck, so I know you're going to hit that mark! :hurray:

That graph is something I should put together for myself! And in regards to the plateaus, aren't they such a pain in the ass? :\ Erf.. so annoying. I wish they didn't exist, but unfortunately it's just one of the many realities with successful weight loss - successful being the key word! Some people are probably not even aware of the potential of a plateau because they don't stick to the healthy lifestyle as long as we all have here on this forum. It's actually a good thing to experience as it's just testament to our dedication to leading a better and happier life! :)

Way to go, e-mom! :D You're doing awesome!! :D

lol...that put a big ole smile on this face :)

I use sparkspeople and it keeps all those graphs and charts automatically then you can just access them when ever you want...I think its a great place and program.

Well HI THERE LOCH!! Glad you stopped by!! Thanks for the well wishes....I am looking forward to catching up on your diary!! :)
 
AHey troops....hope everyone is doing good!! I am still on track...only 1.2 pounds to go till 50 gone....slow and steady wins the race!! :)

My friends ...bullied me into doing a marathon as part of relay team ...haha ...I will be doing the 3.5 leg. It is scary and exciting all at the same time...I have till May to get it together! My knees are a big concern...and I am really surprised how much my butt and back hurt when I ran this week. I am sure it will all get better the more I do it....hubby was a sweetie and treated me to a good pair of Brooks Ghost 4 running shoes and they feel wonderful!!

Looking forward to checking in and updating you on my progress...on the running and all of it :)

Hugs to all my buddies XOXOX

You've come so far and have done so incredibly great! Your family must be so damn proud as well!! :)


I really am at a loss for words on how wonderful and inspirational you are! Reading about your milestone today and seeing your new pic just really ignites me! :) I almost can't wait for tomorrow to come so I can jump on that treadmill and resume my running! :p


Congrats again, my forum mom! You're so awesome! :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
AThanks for sticking with me troops!! I love you guys!! .....I wish I could get on here more...its been such a mild winter this way ...that I have just been so busy and active!! I guess that is the one down fall of moving to loss it!! Less time to surf the web...and hear from all of my wonderful friends on here!

So the running sucks to be honest!! I hate it and my knees hate me for it!! I can't do much running because of the pain so its a combo of walking and running...but I do finish the 5k in under 45 minutes when I am doing my practice run's. NOT to shabby..I am happy with that time...I will get a little faster....but I think 45ish is gonna be my max.

I hope all of you are doing great and I am going to check up on you right now!! HUGS you fabulous people!!!! XOXOXO

:party::party::party::party::party:


WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


I think this is cause for celebration my deary. I bet you are DEFINITELY turning heads again, you look stunning!!!!


Please don't run if its hurting you though... Why don't you try a cross trainer or swimming instead. I don't want you to cause yourself any pain :(


How has everyones reaction been to your weight loss? x
 
Acongrats!!! ur body looks great and can I just say you look more beautiful and younger too! its like 10yrs off of u! u inspire me! keep up the good work.
 
AThanks so much luv!! I have to admit...I have gotten a few looks lately :eek:

My oldest and I were waiting for our subs the other day....and he looks at me and said "hey mom that guy over there was checking your butt out!!" lol...I could have died of embarrassment!!

I do more cross training than anything.....I only full out run once a week...its the most I can give with out hurting myself.

Peoples/friends/family...... reaction have been mixed....some are my biggest cheerleaders.....some are kind....some are fake....and some are quiet...I think its the quiet ones that hurt the worse....but it is what it is...and I am gonna keep on doing what I am doing!!
 
Just amazing, Tete! :hurray:


I remember hitting that milestone of going from the 'Obese' to 'Overweight' - and that was after going from the 'Morbidly Obese' to 'Obese' range! It's a great feeling transforming through those categories, and I'm so happy for you for reaching that point!

As for your new pic.. WOW! :eek: You almost don't look old enough to be drinking yet, haha! Awesome! You look so much younger and happy :biggrin:


Do you get carded at places more often nowadays? It would not surprise me in the least! :p

YOU ARE A WINNER!!!!!!!FANTASTIC WORK you did on yourself improving SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!i really looked at those pics with my mouth open!

Tete you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What is your work out program now?is it 3 days a week?i remember you trying to get in hours i think 5 hours per week?


I would SURE check you out if i was a guy you are HOT!!!!!!:party::hurray::grouphug:


:beerchug::beerchug:
 
AAwe you guys make me blush!! Thanks so much for all the love!! It feels so good to feel good! :grouphug:

I really think adding strength training has helped me break this plateau ....I weighed in this morning at 167.4 but I won't change my tracker till Sunday. I also lost 3 inches in my waist from 2/17 to 3/17. I have been working out 4 to 6 days a week an hour at a time doing cardio....and I do strength training 3 days a week also...so sometimes I am at the gym almost 2 hours!!

I know NUTS!! but I know that it won't be forever.....my hubby and boys have been great...I think the hubby is a little "worried" about my weight loss....but he has nothing to fear...I love him more today than when I was 17....He still gives me those butterflies in my tummy when we kiss :beating: I am such a lucky lady!!

Our 17th wedding anniversary is May 6th so I made him this pic....and I can't share it with anyone else...but I know you all will get a kick out of it!! :) :) :) I'm gonna slip it in his work papers....I want him to know that me losing weight has nothing to do with anyone else but me!! I dose feel nice to feel pretty again...but the only one that counts is my "beau" of 20 years!! :hug2:

Tete, You look stunning! Well done!!! Huge congratulations on no longer being "obese"!! What a smart & sweet way to reassure your husband! (Mine went through a time when he needed reassuring as well, when I still felt I had about 10kgs to lose & was getting lots of compliments.) I am also very lucky & feel that I love my LH (lovely husband) even more than I did over 40 years ago, when we first went out together. He has loved me through thick & thin, literally. I feel very fortunate & loved.

Congrats again Tete! Feeling good does feel REALLY good! Cheers, Cate
 
AAwee Thanks so very much.....I Can't begin to tell you how wonderful you all make me feel....I am not getting the support from some of my friends that I thought I would....they were happy for me on the beginning bit now they seem distant....I make sure that I don't EVER talk about weight and stuff...but they seem "off" to me. I miss my girlfriends! :'(
 
AHey Tete!
Omg - you look smokin hot!!! Wow! My jaw dropped!! I remember reading how you said wanted to lose weight because you missed being cute - but damn, you outdid that, you're crazy gorgeous!!!!! And look so young - your husband is gonna die over that pic! Love it!!
