Thought it was a good time to pop into this thread because  damn, I am finally starting to feel sexy again and it's been that kind of day.  Went to see Resident Evil and instead of feeling jealous of Milla Jovovich I felt about as hot as her.  Now that's some good self-esteem!!

 So I felt good enough about my 10lbs weight loss to take out some of my cuter clothes and man do they feel so good to put on. I'm still not ready to wear them yet, it'll be weeks of more tshirts and jeans for me, but man did it feel good to be able to get into them without lumps and bumps everywhere!

Hey there ladies!!! Had my 2nd weigh in today... but of course, Ive got a cold and Ive got my monthly, so Im not sure how accurate it is???? 3 more pounds down!!

Hope everyone had a great week/ weekend... Ive been home taking care of us sickies *cough cough sneeze sniffle* and working feeding the people who can come in and eat that big greasy bacon cheeseburger with fries and gravy and a shake and not think twice about it.

I've still got 9lbs to go to my next mini-goal of 145! Well, I cheated and weighed myself today so 8.8 lbs ;) 

Well, I hit my goal today of being down to 140 lbs. by the DEBI awards.  I think I just might look sexy in that beautiful evening gown...

Becky/Ohio

All the sexy mamas in the house say YEAH!  Congratulations, Becky/Ohio, I bet you'll look stunning in that evening gown.  I am also down to 140 this week and it shows.  Tantalizingly close to the 130s, which I have not seen in over a year.  Fitting into size 8s now.  SEXY, here I COME!

Hello Ladies & Gents,

Well it looks like I may have shaken that nasty plateau monkey that was on my back, ‘cause I'm down three (3) pounds this week.  I'm not sure exactly how I did it but I guess it really doesn't matter, what matters is that the 3 pound monkey is gone. 

 

Nothing really exciting happened this past week;  Yesterday was a little depressing as it is every year about this time.  We closed our pool for the season and for me that is always one of the most depressing days of the year.  I just hate looking out the kitchen window at the blue cover over the pool.  I just love the water and my pool, oh well.... I will survive.

 

I'm trying to get it together for a two week vacation.  Not to worry, I'm taking my bicycle, so the exercise will continue and I'm not the least bit worried about gaining while away.  I'm so confident I would be willing to place a bet that I will continue to lose while on vacation.  After all this is a life style change not a diet and when it's your lifestyle you make it work when ever and where ever you are. Right?????

Till next week....

Kay

Hey Gorgeous Gals!

I’ve hit the 20 pound milestone!  YAY!!!  Being able to say that feels soooo good. 

I actually have a waist again!  You know, you don’t really think about how stylish belts are when you have a wide, flabby waist.   For my next milestone, I’m going belt shopping.  Oh, I’m going to get the cutest belts my money can buy.  One of my dream outfits is quite simple:  white T-Shirt, brown leather belt with an ornate buckle, low-slung jeans, brown boots – simply fabulous. 

That’s ten pounds away.  Twenty more pounds and hello Victoria’s Secret!  Thirty pounds and well, I’ll buy whatever I damn well please!

Keep up the great work sexy ladies. 

Wishing you all God's grace this week and every week.

First 100 Days

Another milestone in this lifestyle change occurred this week.  Dan (Hubby) and I have been committed to this life style for 100 days.  We began this journey on June 25, 2007 with a commitment like we have never had before when it came to our health and weight.

Like many of you that visit this board and have become a member of the Alli Family, I have tried so many different diets, pills schemes and anything else you can think of with little or no success.  If I only had all the money that I have spent back there's no telling what I could do with the extra money :O)

I'll share some of the things that I have learned in hopes that it will help and encourage each of you to continue on your journey to healthy and happy journey through life.

• As individuals we should eat to live, not live to eat
• Be honest with your self.
• Just because they are serving cake in the office break room does not mean that you have to eat it.
• We can still eat out we just make wise choices
• You and only you can take control of your life and your heath
• Positive attitudes make all the difference in the world.
• Low Fat healthy food do not have to be tasteless
• Your lifestyle change should be for you FIRST! - If you don't look out for #1 no one else will.

In the beginning, probably the first 2 weeks, I actually gained weight. Talk about frustrating!!!!  Thanks to the help of Betty Kovacs and her guidance on what I should try in order to get the right mix of calorie intake and fat grams I started to see a steady weight loss of between 1 and 2 pounds per week. 

One hundred days equates to 25 pounds gone, this has been a slow but steady pace and it is working for me and for Dan. Someone else pointed out that the 25 pounds equates to 1/4 pound a day - that's sound really good in my book!

My ultimate goal is to be some where around 130-140 pounds by summer 2008.  I started out at 210 pounds, I'm now at 185.  I'm working on a milestone now of breaking 180, I hope to accomplish that mile stone in the next few weeks.  Dan started out a 348, he is now at 287.  He is ultimate goal is to be appox 200.  He too works toward intermediate milestones.  He is working now toward 275 by Christmas and I see no reason why he want make that.

Good luck to each of you on journey of a healthy and happy life.

Kay

Hi Kay,

I am so happy to hear that you and your husband are doing so well! I hope that everyone sees how you were initially frustrated because you had gained weight. You could have given up at that point and you didn't. Instead, you looked for a solution and were open to what I had to say. Now there is a lot less of you and you will reach your ultimate goal before you know it. Losing weight is kind of like going to school. There are good and bad days and it feels like it will take forever to graduate, but before you know it you've graduated and you are forever changed by what you have learned.

Congratulations on your success,

Betty Kovacs, MS, RD

Hey Gorgeous Gals!

I've been missing in action because I had surgery on my elbow and couldn't use the computer until today.

I've been off of Alli the past two weeks - I just wanted to recuperate without worrying about weight loss.  The good news is two-fold; the results of my procedure are very good and despite not counting calories or exercising, I have not gained back any weight. 

This should put any fears to rest that once you stop taking Alli, all of the weight will just pile back on (I've read this in some threads).  I suppose I've been eating just enough to maintain my current weight (although some days I truly felt like a cheat ;o).

Once I finish up my antibiotics, I'll start taking my wonderful blue pills again and get back on the road to Fabulosity!

Wishing you all God's grace this week and every week.
