So today I am 5 weeks out. I have lost 42 lbs. Had a week stall when TOM came to visit but all is well now.

Some of the NSV's I have encountered:

Going from a size 18 to a size 12 pants and XXL shirts to L. All of my clothes are way too big now except for the ones I held on to and thank goodness I did.

Not getting out of breath to do anything.... and I do mean anything.

My boyfriend putting his arms around my waist and being able to grab his elbows

with his hands...and commenting on it.

Ex-boyfriends seeing me and telling me how great I look.

I have a ton but I have saved the best for last........

And sex is so worth it now!!!!

Ok, ok. I know TMI .... but it is so true.lol

I hope everyone else is doing great as well!

Way to go Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you are doing so awesome!

What kind of horses do you have? I ride a Morgan (Chief) english style. Rest of the family rides Quarterhorses and western. Sunday we are going on a trailride for about 2 hours or so.

Keep up the great work!

You are doing sooo great! Congratulations

Very Nice

Happy for you!!!! And yes...the sex is WAY better now

I walk and ride my horses right now. Well for the last two weeks anyway. I haven't had much weight come off in the past two weeks either but I have lost many inches. Went from a size 16 to a 12 in a week. I really want to get in the gym and start working out but I work 2 jobs and it's hard for me to find time. I just keep walking about and hour a day and increase when I have a little more time to.

Julie, Up until a couple months ago I was riding my friend's Morgan horse. She was so sturdy that my weight didn't bother her. My friend had to move and sell her. Now I am horseless. I could half-lease with other people, but they all say nothing over 200 lbs and I do not blame them.

I'm so glad you have horses. To me there is nothing better than being in the saddle. Don't ever take if for granted. Congratulations on the weight loss. I hope to be on the losers bench soon.
