.......if I'm dreaming, don't wake me up!!!

Today I woke up to a 155 on the scale!!!!! I'm ONLY 5 POUNDS from my GOAL!!! And in only 3 small pounds I will be NORMAL!!!!

....AND.... from the little people.... (Yeah, that's ME...the LITTLE people!!) I want to officially thank the wonderful store of Christopher and Banks for making the reality of fitting nicely into a size 10

a reality!!!

Yesterday I bought 2 size 10's that actually FIT!!! 2 weeks ago I tried on a size 10 in that store and I had to laugh at myself for thinking I could EVER zip up those size 10's!!!~

.....so like I said, if I'm dreaming

PLEASE....

DON'T WAKE ME UP!!!

Yeah, Laura it does feel amazing! I honestly haven't been allowing myself to think that I could see my goal weight BEFORE my plastic surgery...but now, well I don't know, I just might!

Something sure kick started my weight loss again. I'm not sure what it even was but I hope it keeps it up!!

With as much excess skin that I have I may even be looking at getting down into the 130's after my plastic surgery!! At the start of this journey I NEVER thought I could get that low!! My body has NEVER known that kind of weight!

You are just doing so great! I am so happy for you. You deserve it. BTW, how much do you exercise and what do you do?

Congrats!!! Wow! I can't believe how much weight you've lost! You must feel awesome! I just got into size 10's myself, and I agree, it's a WONDERFUL feeling!

Beth that is wondeful, congratulations. Look at what you have accomplished, it has to be an amazing feeling. You are such a wondeful person and have been a great inspiration to me.

All your hard work and determination has paid off. Way to go!!

I wish you continued success in your journey to goal.

Thanks Deb. To be honest, I walk. I wear a podometer that counts my steps and I aim for 10,000 steps a day. It motivates me to park further away from doors, take steps instead of the elevator, etc. It's amazing how many extra steps I can get in if I pay attention to it. I also take walks in my neighborhood to get up to that amount. 10,000 steps in a day comes out to about 5-6 miles of walking depending on your stride. I have found what works best for me is to make my exercise part of my organized day by changing my walking habits. I am also trying to incorperate some resistance like hands weights 4 times a day. I'm not an aggressive exercise person. I honestly have a hard time sticking with it, so for me I need to make my exercise part of my daily activities. I basicly make sure I MOVE every day. I'm not saying this is the best way...but it is the most realistic way for me and it seems to be working.

Size 10 was where I bought my first brand new clothes in a small size... it was my personal goal. I remember the AWESOME feeling of walking into Gap and buying size 10 jeans... so glad you are experiencing the same thing!

Elanie you and I must be about the same height. It seems like we are getting into the same sizes about the same time and are close to the same weight.

You know I don't think I ever wore size 10 pants. *L* Even when I wasn't MO I carried my weight in my thighs and butt and always had to wear like a size 14-16. NOW, at the same weight as then I'm in a smaller size. Only explaination I have is with age (it's been at least 30 years) I've lost muscle from my thighs and butt so subsequently I'm a smaller pants size at a bit higher weight.

Nette, thanks. I appreciate your support. I want to tell you that I think you are doing great! Take it easy on your body. I know when you feel good you feel like you can do SO MUCH but your body is still healing and it needs its rest.
