I just realized...

I just realized that I have LESS THAN 100 POUNDS TO LOSE!

(100 has been a daunting number staring at me for many years)

I just realized that I NO LONGER QUALIFY FOR WLS!! :clap2:

I just realized that I'm only 11 pounds from being HALF WAY TO MY GOAL! :faint:

I just realized that I'm in the freaking 20s FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 13 YEARS!! :rockon:

I just realized that its after midnight and I need to get my tired arse to bed. Night y'all! :notagree

OMG. :lol:

I just realized that I am only 18.5 pounds away from -100 pounds! :faint:

Where has the time gone? July 9th is my 6 month bandiversary! SIX months already!? At this rate, I'm going to be someone's ancestor long ago dead and buried. Slow down TIME!!

Photonut, you are PHENOMENAL!

Photonut, you are an inspriration. I am so proud of you. That is a huge accomplishment. I am a wee bit jealous naturally since I'm new at this gig. I just hope and pray that God will help me through this weight transition. My first fill is July 17th and so far I'm doing pretty well. Good job.

P'Nut....I am so thrilled and in awe of your accomplishments...you are a friend to everyone here and always offer a shoulder to cry on or are ready with a much-needed chuckle....

NSVs are awesome --- realizing life changes before our eyes is terrific and exciting -- I've noticed I am still totally ready to walk when my 15 minutes are up on the treadmill....I've noticed that when I sat in a chair with little side arms that my butt does NOT stick out the sides anymore....and I've noticed that my jeans now have SPACE in the front and the back!

Congrats P'Nut! Thank you for sharing your excitement with us!

I just realized that I haven't posted anything new on here since the middle of June. Sooo....

While I was at the store a few minutes ago, I thought I'd have a laugh and try on some size 14 jeans. You know, Levis and Lees. Guess what? OMG! They FIT!! 14s! FOURTEENS!! :faint:

I haven't lost much weight in the last coupla months, but I'm losing inches. FOURTEENS!! WOOT!

I LOVE MY BAND!

Congrats Photonut-- you can shop ANYWHERE now!!!!!!!! That's a lifestyle changing NSV if I ever heard one! Hope you bought a pair of those jeans for yourself, or maybe even two.......maybe two is not the best idea though since you'll probably be rockin' a size 12 soon! Keep it up Sistah!

*huggles Bandayed* You're such a sweetie! And look at you! Only 25 to goal? Wowzers girl!

I'm still snickering about those size 14s. And youre right, I'm not spending $30 on a pair of jeans that I don't plan on wearing for long! Woot!!

Hooray for PNut. You are doing awesome. Definately an inspiration to all of us.

PhotoNut - I wish I could send you tons of my 12s and 14s. I was so excited to get into those when I moved here I bought a half dozen pair of jeans and another half dozen twills for work. And they pretty much fall off now. I have been giving away clothes since I moved here. It is so weird to put on a sweater and look like I'm wearing a tent.

Congratulations - you are doing awesome.

Road Queen · August 13, 2006

P'Nut - just realized we are the same age. My goal was not to be overweight when I hit 50. I have 8 months to lose that last pound - LOL - so my BMI is normal. I am going to Celebrate next year alot - taking motorcycle trips in South Africa, going to Italy to drink wine and eat olives, etc. How about you? Any 50 plans?

My realization was that when I lay down to go to sleep my neck fat is not choking me. I used to have to move the fat under my chin so I could breathe.

Heyas Road Queen! Youre my hero. When you took off and went to Africa to live, I was so envious that you had the courage to not only KNOW what you wanted to do but to go do it! The 12s are falling off of you now? My goodness! Im so happy for ya girl! Must be all that heat and good food eh? *laughs* Hm, do I have any plans. Funny you should ask that. I've been treatening to run away from home and spend a couple of weeks somewhere by myself. I've never been able to be alone with myself. Long story. I want to take my camera and just go. Of course my wonderful hubby is all supportive, even tho he'll miss me he is willing to give me that time. Trouble is.. where do I go? It's a biggie turning 50. JoyceGA asked me the same thing because she's kind of going thru this too. I'll still be overweight, but my goal is to be at 180 by then. I'm behind on that. Wow, turning 50 is huge. HUGE! *laughs* I'm open for ideas about my getaway. Anyone have any?
