My slimming journey

I have hardly gone swimming in ages, but my friend was like 'We should go swimming with all our friends!" I'm like 'ok, just wait a few more months till I am more happy with my body, then we can go right before I go get my bell button pierced! (since swimming in chlorine is off limits for a while afterwards)"
 
87.7kg (193.3) this morning!!! Over the moon!!! And just 3 months ago I was 106kg (233).

I'm feeling good today and so happy that I've started this journey!

Last night we had a crazy rain storm and today is beautiful sunshine. Summer is definitely here which means closer to getting in that pool :)
 
That's awesome, Mands! Keep reminding yourself about where you started... I find it to be a great motivator to forge ahead. Almost 40 pounds!! Wow!
 
Hey Mands, you are doing so well! I know exactly how you feel !! Keep up the good work!
(You know 2 years ago I went from 106 to 90 in 3 months just like you.. then up to 125 in 2 years. I m so kicking myself)
 
Well done Mands! When I get back from my trip you will be even slimmer! Good for you sweetie xoxo
 
Been a mad house on this side of the earth. Meetings, designing, editing, printing, emails, planning etc....... Weight wise I've been going strong and haven't cheated. Weight has dropped to 87.2 - 1.2kg away from my 2nd mini-goal and first 20kg loss. That would mean I'm half way into my journey.

3 days ago was the 5th year anniversary of my moms passing and normally on that day I get so down that I just eat everything that I see BUT this year was completely different.....ate healthy ALL the way! And tried to celebrate the way she lived her life instead of mourning the way she passed away.

We received some fantastic news last week from a big hotel that does plenty of weddings and let's just say we will be photographing there quite a bit in the near future. Thank you God!! Our hard work and prayers have paid off!

Have a fab week y'all!
 
Congrats on the new business! That must ease any stress about money. And double congrats on your losses! You are dropping weight like crazy, Mands. Keep going and I hope your good fortune keeps flowing.
 
So last week was a bit disappointing, I only dropped 200g. WTH??? But my bowel movements have been at a stand still for about 9 days. So hopefully this week it will miraculously start doing its job properly.

Very hectic days. Running around to get camera's serviced, welcome packs printed, t-shirts done, client meetings etc.

So feeling very anxious and stressed but haven't given in to chocolates YET. Amazing feeling to have such self control! :)

Summer is here and I was in the pool on Friday!!!:party: I did 25 laps and was utterly exhausted. Last summer I could do a 100 - so I have to step it up as I'm quite unfit.

I HAVE to lose 1.2kg before the 10th of May as this was my goal to lose 20kg before our first wedding AND IM GONNA DO IT!!!

Happy losing everyone!
 
My goodness, I hope things get moving before too long. Do you usually have digestive issues like that?
 
Congrats on the self-control even while stressed! It's soooo easy to give in without even realizing it. And I'm seconding Cory's concern about your digestive issues.... That seems like an uncomfortable position to be in!
 
Mands, I've seriously been slacking on everyone's diaries lately (sorry!), but I just got semi caught up on yours. I had to say how happy I am for you that you were able to eat healthy on one of the days that you find most difficult. I know you saw that I lost an aunt that I was close to early this month. This whole month has been very trying on me emotionally and mentally, but I've decided that it's time to get back to normal. Just as you said, I'd like to honor my aunt for how she lived instead of sulking that she passed. You're an inspiration too. You're doing great with your weight loss and being so close to your goal... awesome! :)
 
Hey Mands hows it going? , such a great feeling to be so close to that 20kg goal , im pretty much in the exact same position so im sending lots of well wishes your way, have no doubt you will hit your goal soon
:) :)
 
Mands, sounds like you have a lot on your plate!
I hope you meet your mini goal weight for the first wedding!
Have a great week!
