I am just thrilled with my weight loss progress.

I was camping this weekend with my horse and some other horse friends. One of the ladies only met me a few months ago and didn't know i used to be so heavy. We were talking about getting back to the gym now that fall is here, etc and she said to me "but you don't have much to lose" - I considered that a big NSV as I am still nearly 40# over my goal. Even my goal is still technically "overweight" but it made me feel good to be seen as "normal" range.

After I got home, I was lugging stuff from my rig back up to the house. There is a small hill up the driveway, no big deal - I often jog or run up this little hill if I am in a hurry. Well yesterday I was loaded down with camping stuff, maybe carrying 40-50 pounds and I was a huffing and a puffing by the time i made it to the top of the driveway. It hit me - no wonder I felt like crap all the time carrying that extra 100+!!! What a relief it was to set down that load of camping gear, wish it was that easy with the extra weight.

I love your NSV! I go walking and marvel at how easy I can walk with no effort, especially in the heat we have. heck, I went for 2 walks yesterday... I did get sleep though. CONGRATS!

Truly amazing! Congratulations on your success.

One of the things I am most looking forward to is riding a horse again. I am freshly sleeved, so it will be a few months at least. I have felt too fat to ride these past few years, I worried I'd hurt the horse!
