Sara7272 · 05-17-2012, 11:35 AM

Giiiiirl! This is the first time I have seen this thread, and I honestly didn't believe the first pic was you!!!!!!! KUTGW!!!!

Divinexheirocity · 05-17-2012, 12:01 PM

That's amazing to see, and so inspiring!!!!! Way to go!!!

Happy2be · 05-17-2012, 10:40 PM

Thank you all, I'm glad that I can be inspiring to you.

Sara~

Funny that you didn't think the first picture was me, oh yes that is me. Never will I look like that again. Mark my words.

Happy2be · 05-17-2012, 10:41 PM

I post more pics and my journey in my journal if any of you would like to follow along in my journal. The link is in my signature.

Happy2be · 05-17-2012, 10:44 PM

A new picture at 209. Brand new XL shirt NOT from the Plus size department of the store. I actually could shop in the Regular section today!!! WOO HOO!!! And the skirt is an old skirt that I haven't been able to wear in 7 years.

AsmallerME · 05-18-2012, 04:11 AM

Gorgeous!!!

JessieBear · 05-18-2012, 09:13 AM

You are doing great - that is an amazing loss!

I was so stunned at the difference in the 224-213 pics that I had to grab them and put them side by side into their own pic to get the full visual. That 11 pound difference in those shots makes you look like night and day when seen right next to each other.

What an inspiration of what "just" a 10 pound victory can look like.

Happy2be · 05-18-2012, 09:37 AM

Amber~ Aww, thanks!!!

JessieBear~ Thanks!!!! I still look at them and can't believe it!!!

tundrasusie · 05-18-2012, 10:10 AM

Fabulous and Beautiful.

Happy2be · 05-18-2012, 10:17 AM

Thank you.

Not only am I looking better, but I am feeling better too.

207.6 this morning!!!!! 53.4 down so far!!!

I went to ZUMBA last night and it was a good class. Found out that the gym is going to have a boot camp class starting June 5 and is going to run until August 25th. I'm thinking about giving it a try. Came home and took the girls outside to play and burn off some energy. I surprised myself when I raced my oldest daughter. I took off and really ran fast and didn't get winded. Then the girls wanted to jump on the trampoline and I just ran right over and got on before them. I got on so gracefully and easily as compared to before when I could barely get my fat butt on there. I am just so surprised at the fact that I am not only losing weight but getting in shape. WOW!!!

I feel Alive again!!!!!

If there is one thing I can say to everyone. It is amazing what you can do when your mind is in it!!! I have had a few slip ups along the way but if you keep your eye on the prize you can get there with hard work and Determination!!!!

Wonderful job, wonderful results!

I'm also having the experience of feeling much more comfortable in my own body, less clumsy, and more energetic since losing about 30 pounds (even though I still have about 70 to go). In terms of my quality of life, I think those things matter more on a day-to-day basis than how I look.

RobbyC · 05-18-2012, 10:39 AM

Melanie, I read your journal and have seen your pics... YOU ARE AMAZING!

I hope I can have the same success, if I can just get my act together!

Happy2be · 05-18-2012, 10:40 AM

Definitely!!!! We all get wrapped up in the number on the scale and its awesome when its moving, but when its not it can really mess with you. I am really trying to base things on how I feel and what I can do instead!!! I had asked my sister.... The always more fit one of the two of us in the years of past what she weighed and she wouldn't tell me. She did say that she doesn't gauge her success on the number but more on how she feels.

I think I am gaining on her!!!

She has ran two marathons and I told her that I want to do one with her sometime in the near future.

Happy2be · 05-18-2012, 10:42 AM

Robyn~ You definitely can!!!! Its all about just taking it one day at a time and getting a good momentum going!!!! Do you have a journal on here? I see in your signature you have a blog. I will check it out. I would love to support you on your way!!! Support is such an important part of this journey.
