Hi Everyone,

Well, I finally made it. The elusive Century and a Half Club. One hundred fifty pounds gone forever! I have been sitting at 185-186 for two weeks and finally got to 184!!! Its been a struggle. I have been back at the gym 3 hours this week and I am attempting to keep this pace going and add a martial arts class as well. I want to be able to kick some booty if I ever need to! Plus I thnk it will help my sense of balance as well. My body is rebelling to get these last pounds off. I think it is happy here, but I am not!!!! Dont expect to ever see a Double Century Club from me. I have no aspirations to be 134 pounds and I am pretty sure that my body will never get there unless I become bulimic or anorexic! Dont need any new food disorders!!!

Brenda, you're going to be a member of the Century and a Half Club very soon yourself. Congratulations to both of you for your amazing achievements. I'd post 150 dancing bananas, but I don't want to take up any more space -- consider this a salute, though!

That is such a significant accomplishment! Congratulations and a lot of admiration from me!

Nancy

Wow what an accomplishment

You must be so proud of yourself.

Congratulations on such an awesome job!

Great job Babs! Hope to join your club someday. Keep a spot open for me.

What a wonderful accomplishment. I only hope to do as well as you have. I would like to hear how your life has changed in comparison to when you were heavier.

Congrats to you!

Hi Joan,

Thats a good question! Lots of differences. The most compelling one is that before, I used to walk up a flight of stairs and stop three times. Now I jog up and dont even get out of breath. I can fly on airplanes without a seat extender. I can exercise for an hour on an elliptical machine, treadmill and weightlift and I actually like it! I danced for four hours the other evening with two of my girlfriends at a anightclub (birthday party) and although I was really tired, I could have kep going a while longer! I used to be a size 28 and now wear a size 14. So life is very different now. This year I am actually plaaning a trip to Disneyworld with my kids without the fear of dread of fitting in the rides or getting through turnstiles getting in the way. But thats a whole new thread! Its wonderful to be able to live life the fullest and not feel like I am missing out on anything!
