75 lbs milestone - yehaaaaaaaaa!
Eddie-Type2 (-) wrote: Hi all, Happy to report that I lost 2.2 lbs this week bringing my grand total to 76.8 lbs. It's been just over one year and joining WW has been the most positive life-improving thing that I've ever done. The support from my family, friends, this NG and from my weekly meeting group has been overwhelming and I actually believe in my heart that I can do this for life and still lose another 100 lbs... Taking things one day at a time, but feeling really good about all of the NSV's I've achieved in the last year, especially yesterday when I bench pressed 190 lbs!!!! Eddie Weight June05-359lbs Current Weight-282.2lbs Loss to date=76.8lbs Goal Weight-180lbs Oh my gosh!! I'm new to this group and just read your message. How exciting!! You are an inspiration. I like your "one day at a time" philosophy. I need to keep that in mind. |

Hi John, Nice to meet you First off, let me say that because I am such a casual person and work from my home, it is really easy for me to wear track pants or track pants type material shorts with the stretchy elastic waist. I don't go out much and when I do, I usually don't have any need to dress up. I've avoided buying jeans or other pants because they were difficult to find. So I basically lived in stretchies constantly! Not proud of it, but that's what I did. Eddie, I STILL do! But they are a different style (more fashionable!) and a LOT smaller! I need this sort of thing because I crawl about on the floor putting hems up, nip up and down ladders for fabric, and sit on the floor to read! When I started WW back in June 2005, I was wearing a pant size of 58 that the tailor had let out a bit. My belt was a 60 and I was on the second notch from the end. Ouch! By Christmas, I had lost 50lbs I finally had to breakdown and buy a new pair of pants that were a size 52. Lucky for me I still had an old belt around the house that was in pretty good shape. Yay! By the beginning of last April, I had lost my closest friend to colon cancer and I was asked to be a pall-bearer. I tried on my 58's and it was a joke! I went to the tailor and he fitted me with a 50 waist!......it felt very good. I was now down approx. 65 lbs. I remember you saying you were so proud to be able to carry the coffin. A very sad but very worth-while achievement. A few weeks ago, I actually started to get compliments from people about the fact that it was now obvious that I was losing weight. This has been actually very encouraging since up until now, it's been really difficult to tell that I've lost any weight due to the fact that I have been so drastically obese for so many years. I think it takes time for the body shape to change and for the eyeballs to catch up! It's fun now: I used to be one of the Fat People, but now I'm the same size as all the Normal Ladies! We went out and purchased some new stretchy shorts and guess what? - instead of being XXL, they were only L !!!! very happy about this. Good one! Last week was the most uplifting situation since I started this journey - I actually purchased a pair of zip up, button up pair of shorts - size 48 right off the rack in Wal-Mart!!! I was so ecstatic about this! My weight loss today is approx. 77lbs, but I think my body is starting to tighten up now, so the results of the weight loss are starting to show. Just being ABLE to buy stuff that fits is so good! Spending money on clothes for me has only ever been out of necessity, but now I'm actually starting to enjoy the fact that I had to face the realization of purchasing new clothes! I still hate it... But I did get a kick out of having to take a PATTERN in the other day! Cut the skirt a size 14 and had to shave a size off the waist! it's still on the big side, but a good size for eating a big dinner in! As soon as I get down to a 42, I plan on buying a nice pair of jeans! That will be awesome! I haven't worn jeans in so long... I had a pair last winter - first pair for YEARS! - but now they fall down!
