Hello All my crazy gals, you guys crack me up! I got some pics taken last night, so I will post them asap! I need to download them to the computer and I might night be able to do that until Friday night or Saturday morning, but like I promised they will be put up here before the week is over. :) We had a great time last night, I drank some margarita's and had several cups of that black bean salsa my hubby makes, mmmm that stuff is addictive! The rain stopped for a day YEAH!!! I got a little mowing done yesterday as well, so that was great! Okay, I have to admit something, on Tuesday night when I went to the gym I had only planned on going for maybe 1 hour, since all my classes started late and I got off work early, I had "PLANNED" to ride the bike 7 miles, and run on the elliptical for 3-4 miles, well I did end up doing all that, AND.... as I was leaving the gym, two of my favorite group instructors BEGGED me to stay for the NEW GROUP POWER class, well they had to do a lot of begging, because 1 I was already whipped from all the other stuff before, and 2 I HATE group power, it's that 1 hour of weight training I tell you all about, well I stayed for them, I'm such a sucker!! I told them they were going to need to carry me out of the gym on a stretcher if they keep me there any longer, I logged an incredible time of 3 hours at the gym that night, I have never spent so much time at the gym in my life, and three hours is just way to much in my book. But shit after I got home I counted up the calories I burned in just that one visit, and get this it said I burned 500 on the bike, which is normal, then I ran on the elliptical and did another 340 on that, then group power, probably another 250-300, DAMN!!!! and the next day I really wasn't hurting to bad, I was pretty shocked to say the least. OH and LENA, I am drinking plenty of water sweet pea!! I drink it all day at work, and yesterday I drank like two full bottle's in less than 30 minutes, then several other glasses through the day. Then margaritas in the evening, it was such a nice evening, to damn bad it ends so fast, and I have to work today, but one good thing, it's almost Friday again!!!! YEAH!!! Well, I better get busy, I'll stop by diary's in just a little bit. LATER EVERYONE!!!!

Whoa, girl....are you positive there is anything left to take pictures of! You are amazing on your workouts! I get out of breath and tired just reading about your gym routine! LOL! :D Super workout!!! I know you are so thrilled that those clothes are fitting so well! :) Cant' wait to see your pics!
 
Hey there Kimmie-poo!! :D Glad to hear your workouts are working for ya! Sounds pretty intense but definitely sounds like they are working. Really looking forward to seeing your pics.. I'll probably post some updated ones as well.. maybe get some of Beth while I am at it!

Have a great rest of your week!! You're doing fantastic!!

You know Beth, that's exactly what I thought to, but after looking at those pictures my hubby took, I still look big! I don't know, maybe it's me, maybe I just think that. I went to my girlfriends yesterday and both she and her hubby said, "dang" your clothes just seem so baggy anymore, well, ummmm Okay, I know It seems to me I'm losing a lot of my weight in my legs, Butt and back area, my belly is slimming down but not nearly as fast as the rest of my body, so when I'm wearing my 10's the back of my pants look like their hanging, but to me my face still looks chubby. Maybe I have that MORPH disorder or something, because everytime I look in the mirror I still see myself big. I think I need a make over, maybe that will help. It's time for a hair change, so maybe I'll go extreme, my hair is REALLY long, and I haven't had it highlighted in quite some time, so maybe I'll go short again and put some flair into it. I think the darker hair makes me look older too, I do like it with blonde highlights, I'll get it done, then you tell me what you think.
 
3 hours at the gym?? You're an animal! No one works out that long! :D

The "morph" disorder - I think everyone who's ever been fat suffers from it to some extent.
 
Hey Kim...sounds like your 4th was great! Cool about the black skirt...I'm thinking "how many clothes does this woman own anyway?"....I thought I had the market cornered on shopping (I actually own brand new shoes I've still yet to wear:eek: )..but apparently I've met my match!

Oh well, evenutally everything will be too big and you'll have to go shopping for a brand new wardrobe all over again:jump:

I'm standing in line, too, to see your pics....I'm betting they show a much more beautiful, fitter, woman than you yourself realize. We just get sooo used to ourselves looking a certain way for a long time that it just can take a while for us to see change - eventually the brain catches up to the reality of the body and you temporarily will become a vain creature who must be peeled away from the mirror (just kidding - sorta:) )

Have a great day!
 
I'm with CYM. Also, it's totally normal to think you still look big, especially if you have lost a lot over a short amount of time. I was trippin about how photos put on 10 lbs, especially if you have a round and not narrow face (mine is round and gets chubby as I gain weight, right away). Don't worry about a thing, losing weight takes a LOT of time, trust me!! Argh! Have a wonderful day sweetie!

Yes, I'm sure your right Tom, sometimes I just wish I could see myself through another persons eyes, that way I know for sure. Kind of a weird thought, but it would be nice to look at yourself as someone does. I know you will all be honest with me when I post them, so I'm really looking forward to the comments, good, bad or indifferent.

I don't know if I'll ever get comfortable enough to look at myself often in the mirror, I hate mirrors, but it would be nice :) I have a LOT of old clothes, stuff I haven't been able to wear in years, but honestly I need a wardrobe update and BAD! I would like to wear more fashionable stuff, you know stuff that's in today!! HAHAHAHAHA I just need to shut my big hole and stop complaining, at least I have something to wear, be it old or new. I'm really grateful, really I am.

Thank you Curves! My face is very round also, and the first place I put on weight is my chin, and thank goodness that double chin is about gone! It seems all the women in our family have one, or have had one at one time or another. And your right about photos putting on weight, damn things! You better be honest with me too, don't hold back, I can take it, trust me!
 
Kim I totally hear what you're saying. Don't worry, not only are pictures unflattering, but at this point, it's just a milestone, I seriously look at pictures right now as a progress marker. I can't even look at them and nitpick too much because my shape is changing and the body that is in the picture is changing every day. Yours is as well. My arms trip me out though, I look down at my arms right now and of course whenever I look at my arms I flex a little bit, so when I'm pictured in a relaxed stance, I have to be honest about my flaws. But you are beautiful, you're pulling 3 hour nights at the gym (I hope not too many so that you don't get burned out) there isn't anything else you can possibly do but smile and be patient. You're gorgeous and motivated and please don't let your pictures make you feel bad, you've gotta remind yourself of how hard you're working. We won't let you forget :hug2:
 
Good job at the gym. I will need to get on my elliptical for a minimum of 30 minutes after that.. I'm a lazy biatch compared to you.

You haven't hit goal weight so the stomach hasn't gone yet. Its often the last to go. But I'm sure you're looking better and you'll just need to be patient to get the rest off. In the meantime, everyone else is noticing and thinking you look great (esp. hubby I'm sure).
 
I was a little astonished to see my midrift in a store window I passed today on the way to my yoga class. I fancied myself a wee bit slimmer than that reflection. tee hee So I know exactly what you mean about not being 100% happy about photos or any reflection (mirror).

A 3 hour gym visit! My goodness. Rock on!
 
I'm posting mine in a minute, :hug2: Sorry that I won't be smiling in mine. I'm sure you're going to make up for my grouchy look with your stunning smile.
 
Okay, Here is that ugly ass picture I promised somebody I would post. I had my hands together in the back and it makes my upper arms look like sausages.LOL LOL and my hubby didn't use enough light it's a little dark to me, plus we were on our way out the door. I had just put my hair up in a bun in the back, it was hot that night. Well, I hope in another month my fat face will be slimmer, I hate my face shape badly! Now it's time for everyone else to start posting pics, if I can do it, anybody can do it. HEHEHEH Later gators.
 
Miss Gator, you look gorgeous and I'm not just saying that. You look extremely toned. I can see all those Group Groove classes have really helped tighten you up woman! Ooooooh, pics are so fun!
 
*Kim not knowing how to take a compliment from Cita* AHHHHHHH My stomach is in knots honestly I just can't see what everyone else does, I just don't get it. But I thank you from the bottom of my heart, You are to kind, it's funny though I would describe you that way, but not myself. Thanks for sweet words.:)
