Guest guest Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 > I started at 308 and am down to 294.5 Where are some of the rest of you in > this weightloss journey I started about 6 months ago at 270+ pounds, definately the most I've ever weighed. Since then I've lost 80 pounds, bringing me down to 190. What amazes me most isn't the *pounds* lost, but the *size difference. When I started I was wearing a 24-26 in jeans. Today I'm noticing some bagginess in my size 12's. A few years ago I lost a bunch of weight--down to about 180. At that time I was wearing a size 16, and a TIGHT 16 at that. So here I am today, 10 pounds HEAVIER at at least 2 sizes SMALLER! WHEEEEEE! <giggle> My goal at the moment is about 160 (I'm 5'10 " ), but I'm fairly flexible with that. I may get there and decide that there's a few more pounds I could lose, or I may get to 180 and decide that I'm happy. We'll just have to see! I figure, I gained 100 pounds by " bargaining " each 10 pound gain. " Well, it's only 190 pounds, not so bad....gee, I'm only 200, that's only a 10 pound gain, I'll panic when I hit....It's only 210, only a 10 pound gain...10 pounds is nothing.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I started my diet a little over 2 weeks ago, I have no idea what I weighed when I first started....didn't get my scale until a week ago. So....last week I weighed 293, today, a week later I weigh 289, so I've lost 4 lbs that I know of. Wish I knew what I weighed when I started the diet. I'm really proud of the fact that in almost 3 weeks I haven't cheated once.. this is a BIG accomplishment for me.....I'm a sweet-a-holic and have it in the house for the kids and haven't been tempted once. There have been a few times when I drooled a little at their desserts....but said " NO " ! I'll have my fruit or WW dessert later on. Maybe my determination is finally winning over ) Michele Super Scented Candles, Gift Baskets & Much More!! http://www.tendercrafts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
