Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned. Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away. We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively. When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...
You are awesome indeed. I am so proud and this is just the beginning of a great new year of weight loss for both of us! Woo hoo!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a great start to your Saturday. Next week will bring what it will, but for now you can savor this victory.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, you've worked so hard for this!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Keep up whatever you are doing 'cause it is working.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is GOOD FOR YOU! That must have been an awesome discovery when you got on the scale!!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! I love the "catch up" weeks! They're hard to remember on the 1-pound or fractional-loss weeks, but they're fun to celebrate when they happen.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a fantastic weight in. Hardwork usually pays off.
ReplyDeleteJust finished making the volcano cookies. Another great recommendation from you. I did not have a muffin top pan so I used a regular muffing pan, it make them a lil smaller (only used one dove candy per cookie) but still delicious. Only made 4 so i could not be tempted with too many. Thanks.
Fantastic!! Maybe your body reacted well to a boost of calories? I know mine does, if I've been very strict with my plan for a while and then indulge one night, that seems to push me down. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!
