Have to brag!

[digideb]

Okay, so normally I wouldn't just start a thread like this about myself. But, honestly , I'm just so darn proud! lol Im overweight! Most people don't guess nearly how much I weigh b/c I can hide it well. But, I've been working on losing weight! I've been eating healthier & better portions. Cutting out a lot (not all) desserts & cokes. And I've been walking a mile & doing 50 crunches every day (except Sundays) I'd like to lose a total of about 45 pounds. I weighed in this morning & I'm down 15! That's a third of the way there! I'm so stinkin excited!!!!! Just had to share! :thumbup:

[heatherdumas]

I am so proud for you! That is a huge accomplishment. Keep up the good work. I think it is great that you take a day off and don't deprive yourself of the soda and sweets. Moderation is working for you and you are less likely to binge that way.

[Jenn Barrette]

[Cheryl Ashcraft]

That is so fantastic! Congratulations on meeting your 1/3 of the way goal . . . can't wait to see you show off your pics when you cross your "finish line." I suffer with obesity as well, so I get all excited when someone works hard and succeeds!

[flattsgurl]

Deb that is freakin' fantastic!! GOOD FOR YOU!!! Keep up the great work girl! It feels great doesn't it? :)

[lovely1m]

Congrats! I am guessing you are tall? Its much easier to hide on a taller frame. I lost 45 pounds right before I had my son, it was a great feeling. Too bad I still have about 10 pounds of the 'baby' weight still left and had wanted to lost another 10 to 15 pounds before I got pregnant. Ugh. Need to get my butt back in gear like you!

[CA Dreamer]

Way to Go!!! Congratulations and keep it up!

[digideb]

Thanks again y'all! Y'all are awesome! :thumbup:
And, yes, Mari. I'm 5' 11''. :)

[KirstieGai]

It's great when you see results, congrats. I've changed my life for the better with exercise and good food choices and I've now lost 42lbs in 9 months. Keep going and you'll keep feeling better every day. I now weigh less than I did before I fell pregnant with my first baby 7 years ago.

[digideb]

Kirstie, that is amazing!!!!!! Congrats!

[Leah]

That is awesome! You should be very proud of yourself! I know how hard it is...

That's why I'm sitting here eating cake - when I should be eating carrots.

[crystalbella77]

Congrats Deb!!! That's awesome girl!!!!!

[scrapperjade]

Thats seriously awesome Deb! I know what you mean about hiding the weight well. I was a size 14 trying to find jeans to fit, and the sales woman kept passing me 10's! I'm a 18 now and most people are suprised at that because they think I'm about a 14.

How long have you been going for your walks & doing crunches? I need some motivation! :)

[nun69]

that is AWESOME...keep it up!!!! and don't get discouraged by the scale if it doesn't look like you are losing, that just means you are gaining muscle :)

[bellbird425]

Congrats and keep up the good work!

lol, yes! That's totally it! I'm down to 14-16, depends on the pants/skirt. And I have a friend who brought me a pair of jeans that's a 12 and said, "I know these are probably too big for you..." Makes ya feel good! That's for sure! :)
I've been doing the walking and crunches thing for about 2 months now. It's such a great feeling!

[pbumbaca]

Good for you Deb! Congrats! You totally should be so proud!

[melmos75]

Congrats!!!

[rach3975]

That's fabulous! I've got about the same amount to lose, but it isn't going nearly as well. :thumbdown:
