SaturdaySaint's Diary

I was so excited to hit 229! When I saw that it didn't even HESITATE to go there... I had to get off and do it again just to be sure! It was an awesome moment! My legs are still killin me..but I'm gonna try to get 50 minutes on the gazelle tonight... burn some calories!

You're so funny! You sound like me. I will get on the scale 2-3 times to make sure I get the same number.

Keep it up! You're getting in shape!
 
Thanks! I have a place that my scale likes to sit...so I make sure I put it there every time! LOL.... But what was the eye opener is...I went to the grocery store last night and normally, with all my clothes, wallet, keys and whatevers in my pockets...I weigh in around 255 or 256 (haven't been to the scales there in a while though) and it registered 231!!!! With everything on! I was so excited!
 
Hey!!! Just poppin' in to say 'Hello!' I hope you're having a great day and keep up the good work---your pictures look fabulous! I wish my tummy area would shrink as fast as your's is! *is jealous* And just so you know....I was seriously freakin' out the first time I posted my pictures so I think it's normal. :)

Thanks for the comment! I was really nervous (still kinda am) but... MTM&K was worried I wouldn't believe her...and I TOTALLY do. I see it... I see the difference.... I just can't wait for it to be MORE of a difference :p :p
 
Congrats on all you've lost so far! You are very brave, with those pics. I have done mine, but I have pics of me in skimpier clothes that I won't post until I have the afters, because I'm still too self-conscious.:eek:

So...it's morning. It's 8:06 and I'm trying to get in the swing of work! I went to watch the Biggest Loser last night. Before it started, I hoped on the gazelle. Did 50 minutes/500 calories during the beginning. All I have to say is that the finale was AMAZING! Seeing everyone (well..most everyone) drop all that weight and seeing the before and after! Just amazing! Now... with the winner, Erik.. he lost 214 lbs! That's INSANE!...and Wiley, He has (well...had) the same body type as me...and if that's what my future holds, then I'm AMAZED at what I'm going to end up like. Just... wow..floored. Thinking about putting up the before and afters at my desk for daily motivation! Anyway...to this morning:

This morning I got up all chipper and happy... ready to go for some reason...ready to conquer the world. I get up, and start working out with Yourself Fitness and Really get into it. This morning was upper body fitness... lots of chest presses, bicep curls, etc. It was awesome... felt really energized and jazzed when I was done! I went and hoped on the scales and well..whatta ya know? 228!!!! I've lost another pound.... morning keeps gettin better! I look in the mirror, flex my chest, tighten my abs and what do ya know???? My belly has a slight wrinkle!!!!! The skin is loosening! I wonder if your body does a "fat dump" occasionally...because my stomach did NOT look like that yesterday! HA... So I have to change my ticker, and need to get my water started for the day! OH...and one more thing...I have this suit jacket that my father in law sent down to me. When I received it, the buttons wouldn't even come CLOSE to each other...let alone button up. I have a picture of me in it.... I tried it on this morning, for kicks and giggles... The front of the jacket now OVERLAPS!!!!!! I'm going to post the before and after of that as well... would anyone mind if I just put that one in here? If not I'll put it in the other thread! I'm stoked!!! WOOHOO!!! Oh..and I'm wearing a LARGE shirt today... my first day without an X in front of it! Mind boggling!

MTM&K... Just wanted to tell you that I love you, I know that you're struggling with the pregnancy weight... but please know that I know that you are doing WONDERFUL! I'm so proud of you! I love you!
 
Your attitude is great right now, remeber that feeling and keep it...that is your motivation my friend...you can will and do this, you figuring it all out and now you are seeing the results, Im happy for you and proud of you!!!
 
Oh you just have so much exciting news! Your excitement and motivation is contagious! I just want to go run a mile or something. That's so exciteing for you, move that ticker!
 
That's right, move that ticker and post that pic! :p Says the woman who hid her own pics deep in her diary. LMAO I'm fine with you posting them in here, hey, it's your diary. Go for it! :D

I'm so happy for you, I've mustered up enough energy to do a jump and a cartwheel stand back...*does a wobbly cartwheel and jumps up as high as I can today, shakes pom poms and collapses* Now, can you call a medic for me please, I think I'm dehydrated. :p

I am very motivated today! Lots happened this morning and I'm still buzzen from it.... though I haven't drank enough water yet today! Only about 25 oz. Need to keep going on that! Ticker is moved!

Your attitude is great right now, remeber that feeling and keep it...that is your motivation my friend...you can will and do this, you figuring it all out and now you are seeing the results, Im happy for you and proud of you!!!

Thanks! Sometimes my attitude isn't the greatest...but I push through it...I'm trying... don't want to let anything hold me down!

And OHD... thanks so much for the cheers...though you may need an IV drip now! LOL I need to take a good version of the picture...tried this morning...not sure if it worked.... and I'm working on scanning in the before of it...hopefully will have it up by end of the day! And whats weird is... I changed my ticker..and it wouldn't let me keep anything in there other than the ticker and one line...it's weird....
 
So...I got a hold of the pictures! and there is most certainly a difference! Only thing is, I look miserable in the pictures taken today. The first picture was from August at the Gala Dinner for my jobs National Conference. The jacket I'm wearing was sent to me by my father in law... It wouldn't even come CLOSE to covering my belly. Well...today...I tried it on and..well... take a look!!! :D :D
