Diva's journey to GOAL

[Dawn 16]

I am so excited for you Irene!!!

[cludgie 81]

I am delighted you have got to such a great point, well done, and most importantly, ENJOY IT!!!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

Thanks!!!! I'm still very happy with where I am. I haven't lost any in a few weeks, but am approaching the time of month where I lose ok. I'll try for a few pounds. Though if I don't... oh well.

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

So I'm back at it folks!! I have tacked on 29.9 Lbs of FAT loss and undertaken a great feat. I'm trying to get my body fat to 29% which will place me in the "moderately lean" category. I do believe that will finally be it for me. I did this to get myself as healthy as I can, while still looking good. I think that will be the exact place. It will get me down to about 151 Lbs.

*Whew* this is going to be rough. I'd like to get there in six months!! Before my next Bod Pod Body Fat % Test.

I'll need to incorporate some weight training which I really don't like doing because I gain muscle so fast. I only plan to do 2 days per week and really only upper body for now. My legs will look like Ahhhnold's if I work em!!!

Auughhhhhghghgghhhhh!!!!!!!

Good luck Diva, you have achieved so much already that I am sure you can do just about anything you set your mind on x

Thank you!!! It's not going to be very easy. I already only lose about 4-5 Lbs per month now. So I'll have to stay at 5 Lbs per month or above to reach my goal in this timeline. However fat loss is different than weight loss, so I could still build muscle and end up heavier than 151 Lbs and still be 29% Body Fat. So... we'll see how I end up!!!

Diva, even if you only lose one pound a month, you are sill heading in the right direction. I am only losing around 3 pounds a month for the last couple of months... I am happy for it! I still want to lose 18 pounds by......July of next year. And most of that needs to be fat so wish me luck!

I know you're absolutely right. I need to take my own advice and Celebrate every pound of fat lost. Thank you, I did need that!!! I am certainly my own worst critic!!

Wishing you the best! I know you'll get there though!!

Not saying I would HATE to lose it all NOW THIS MINUTE!!! But don't want to miss out on the joy of life because of slow weight loss... you know what I mean...

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

Update!!! I'm HERE!!! The final frontier... maintenance. Who knew that self acceptance is the real ultimate goal?

[cludgie 81]

That is awesome Diva! Well done.

I am 4lb from 'goal', and am really pondering how you begin to move from a lifetime of trying to lose weight, to acceptance. I really hope to join you there soon xx

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

You will get there very very soon, you look incredible! For me, it didn't finally hit me until I had my plastic surgeries and now that my body is finally shaping up after healing... I see it now. I'm done!!!

[M2G 1,836]

I see it now. I'm done!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!! *LOVE* this! Sooooo happy for you!
