Hi Everybody
I just wanted to share a little about my journey and to get a little encouragement from all you supportive people! My surgery was last June. As of December I had lost about 79 lbs. It feels so amazing to be able to move again, And of course, looking better. I do Zumba, I can RUN up the stairs without getting winded, I walk/jog my dog, I can dance! My family just went to Vegas for spring break, and I didn’t feel horrible in my bathing suit at the pool! Last weekend I bought a dress for a wedding, NOT plus size, the 16 looked good, but then I tried the 14 and it looked even BETTER! Woo hoo!
Anyway, since December, I’ve been “cheating” too much. I’ll get serious for a few days, then I’ll binge on some chips or cocktails or whatever, so I’ve been losing/gaining the same 5 or 6 lbs between 190 and 196. My company is sponsoring a Biggest Loser contest, so I joined and I’m going to try to lose this last 30 lbs! My goal is 160 and this morning I was 189, so I’ve lost 85 lbs with 29 to go!
I need to get rid of the chips, no more alcohol! Back to protein snacks only, no sugar, no bread! I know I can do it! I’m wanting to up the exercise, and I’m bummed because I’ve been having back spasms! I think my body can’t take the jumping/jogging. I will try to start adding elliptical or stair machine, something low impact. Any good suggestions?
I haven’t posted much, but I have gotten a lot of support from this great community just be reading all the inspirational stories and great info on this site!! Thanks to all!
