OLUX'S Weight Loss Diary

Thanks so much everyone! I've been having kind of a cruddy last few days but I'm feeling a little better now! :) I knew not to get over excited for the date - but I couldn't help myself. Now I'm just left with a pool disappointment. KEEP IT MOVING, SOLDIER!

I was looking at my ticker history and it just amazes me to see that I started at 185 lbs. I can't wait to get down into the 140s and be at a healthy BMI! My license says I'm 150lbs and that was last updated when I was almost 18 years old. Once I hit 150, it's going to be the skinniest I've been since about 2005! WHOA! I'm SO PUMPED!

So I've been measuring myself every once in a while to see if there are any changes in my body. I probably don't measure the correct areas most people use but this works for me:

Waist (The largest area on my tummy. Where my belly button is.) 37.5
Calves 15.25
Thighs 21.5
Neck 14.25
Upper Arm 12
Chest (Where my boobs are the biggest. NIP AREA. TMI, sorry.) 39

I went to Banana Republic the other day to window shop. I refuse to buy any new clothes until I'm SKINNY MINI! I tried on a pair of size 8 jeans and they buttoned! Definitely had some love handles spilling out - but they zipped and buttoned up! This is such a great feeling because a few months ago, I bought their size 12 pants and had to wear it unbuttoned. I know, ghetto! I'm just looking forward to the day when I can be comfortable in my body! :)

ONE LAST THING I think the girls will understand this story much better than the guys. I was just kind of offended/shocked by what happened. So kinda funny, the guy I went out with this weekend looks at me and says, "Oh, what kind of purse is that? Wait, let me guess!" (My purse is a monogram Louis Vuitton and has LV all over it. "UH UH UH.. Is it a Coach bag?" UHHH.. no. It's a Louis. "OHH OK! UHH.. well, do you even have a REAL Coach bag?"

OK SORRY but, how do you even compare Louis Vuitton with Coach? It's like comparing Neiman Marcus with Marshalls. So offended.

Totally clueless here. I heard them advertising Louis Vuitton purses on the radio but whats a coach bag? and neiman whatty....??? and marshalls, thats a store, right?

And on a side note, it is exciting taking a step back and seeing all the progress you have made...its very motivating :D

edit: and don't be that offended at the guy. maybe he was trying to make some friendly conversation. I know I say a lot of stupid crap sometimes

edit2: Oh...and I read a couple of your earlier posts. I think women are too much drama in this point in time (and of course, i don't have the self confidence to actually date one). I love hearing your stories, the sound exciting! Keep up the excellent work and good luck with your guy searching

yay! im glad youre stealing some of my ideas because i know i always steal yours. haha . i feel bad! :)
 
whoooh extensions sound fun =P conratulations^^ i know my first little goal for breaking 200 was supposed to be a manicure and pedicure... but i just sorta forgot about it =P

ooh and i love the new pic! you look smokin'!
 
Sorry I'm reposting this entry because it was buried at the bottom of the last page. Hope you guys don't mind! ;)

Remember when I said once I got into the 150s, I'd go get some extensions put in? I hit 159 a week or two ago but have been so busy I just never got around to it! I didn't have class today and decided that if I didn't do it now, I'd end up in the 140s before I got myself the reward I deserved! I now have 14 inch extensions in my hair! :) I'm sure most of you guys have seen how short my hair is already (a little below my chin) so this is such a great change! I LOVE IT! I feel like an ASIAN POCAHONTAS! OR AN ASIAN KIM KARDASHIAN! OR AN ASIAN LITTLE MERMAID! YEAHH! :hurray:

 
Olux-the hair looks cute in your avatar, I know there is alot pressure in many asian communities to have that Loooonnnggg asian hair that is so gorgeous so I am glad you are getting to 'try it on' for style. I will join you in the extension, I AM having a rough week so I am goign to try and pull out of it tomorrow.

take care
 
Hey chicky, those extensions are looking fab!!! How funny is that?? You get extensions put in and I cut my hair off!!! LOL
Hope you are staying strong and had a fun weekend!
kc :)
 
Hey oLUX, amazing Diary! Truly was an inspirational diary to read following through to your current state now and still going strong. Reading it all makes me not slack off and work harder knowing others are working hard too hah

I so agree, wanting to loose weight to wear some of those outfit you wanted to wear but didn't want to, so much more freedom to choose what to wear when we're healthier! Can't weight till we're at that stage, though you're pretty much closing in on it fast!

Well done with the before/after pics great progress and I wish you nothing but luck in continuing losing that freeloading weight!

:willy_nilly:

I get really excited when people tell me that! :) When I first joined the forum, I always read other people's journals and looked through their before & after photos. It made me think "WOW! I want that to happen to me! I want to lose weight just like them." It just makes me excited to know that I am doing it now and that I can inspire other people to do it as well! :) YAYY. AND YEAH, we're both going to do great! ESPECIALLYYYYY since we have that new challenge coming up to kick our asses into shape! YEAHHH!
