68 pounds down

Post by jkgregory »

50 pounds has turned into 68 pounds in just about 4 months.. I eat so much food and the fat is melting away :shock: 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!! :thumbsup:  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 ;D 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.. ;D 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.. :D 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...)  :D

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!  *hug*  Gosh, at the rate you are going, you will need to go shopping again real soon!  :thumbsup:  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!
