Let's Do Lunch Community

50 pounds has turned into 68 pounds in just about 4 months.. I eat so much food and the fat is melting away I had to go buy clothes yesterday cause everything is so big on me.. When i started ldl i was in a size 24.. Im now between 16-18.. I bought a pair of shorts that were a size 16.. That boosted my self confidence huge and has given me ever more strength to keep up on my weight loss journey.. I no longer have to shop in the plus size at Walmart!!   Last week i started taking a water fitness class.. Im doing that mondays, wednesdays, and fridays.. For anyone that has arthritis or has a problem exercising, then water fitness is for you.. You work out every muscle in your body and get your heart rate while staying cool in the pool It really doesnt bother arthritis.. I have it in my ankle and knee from when i broke my ankle wich has got better since i started ldl.. My blood pressure readings are all under 120/80 this month.. Im hoping to be off the bp meds soon.. I bought my Cedar Point tickets today.. Were going may 19th.. I was reading the size requirements, and they say for a female size 18.. They cant say weight cause everyone is diffrent.. I think ill probably just make it.. My skinny husband sure will fit.. He looks so good.. Hes at 205.. Ill catch up to him sooner or later.. I tried putting up a new pic but it was to big.. By the end of may ill have a new pic up.. RT has seen a pic.. I sent him pics for the womans magazine.. Wish me luck

JK, that is just simply awesome progress, and in only 4 months!  Keep it up!  Enjoy Cedar Point, we want to see pics when you get back!  I wonder if the Corkscrew is still there?  I loved that one when I rode it 20-something years ago (sheesh, now I feel old...)

I am so happy for you and your husband.  WOW 68 lbs in 4 months that is such a great accomplishment and that the sizes are dropping so fast is fantastic. 
Enjoy Cedar Point and I can't wait to see new pictures.

Congrats to you!  That is awesome progress!  This way of eating is amazing.  Keep up your good work.  Enjoy Cedar Point.  It is such a fun place and so beautiful with it being on the lake.  My niece and nephew both worked there in the summer about 10 years ago.  Country Girl

JK - Congratulations!  That's awesome!    Gosh, at the rate you are going, you will need to go shopping again real soon!    Once you get into the 16, then every 10 lbs or so is equal to a size. At a 10 - then it is usually around 7 lbs. It has to do with the measurements they use for each size. That's why we all seem to drop sizes more rapidly as we go down. Enjoy the shopping - it's a great feeling! 

Can't wait to see your new photos!

AMAZING is all I can say about you and your husband's weight loss and I love your new picture.  Pam is right when she says she wouldn't have recognized you -- you do look like a new person.  Enjoy your day at Cedar Point!
