Milestone for me, too

[clevermanka]

mckitterick's post reminded me I'm down, too. 144.4 yesterday and today. I generally don't take anything as a real weight until it shows up for three days in row, though.

Good news: I can fit into cute work clothes again.
Bad news: I have not a single pair of jeans that looks good on me.

I'm not sure there's anything that doesn't look cute on you. ;)

Baggy jeans that make my ass look flat. Trust me. Doesn't look cute.

Okay. I'll buy that.

I'm having my own issues with jeans, as I'm in between sizes at the moment.

Congratulations!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm quite pleased.

J noticed you looked much slimmer, but he was afraid to say something in case you'd be offended that he'd noticed you were heavier before. hee.

Dear god, I was only 15 tick marks away from weighing 200 pounds. Nobody could have avoided noticing I was heavier before! LOL!

One of the things I'm doing on Thursday is taking a bunch of clothes to the Goodwill down near Target. I was going through my closet last week and realized that all of my dress pants are now several sizes too big, and I have some dress shirts that can be donated as well.

Congrats to you!!!

Thank you. :)

It's amazing what you can accomplish when your doctor holds a gun to your head, but that's another story.

Yea for you! It was amazing for me what being 15 tick marks away from 200 pounds will do. That was my turning point to head back down the scale as well. Perhaps the trip to Mickey's will find you a new pair of jeans as well!

Congrats - I've still yet to loose a single pound but the inches keep coming off - update on Friday since I have an appmt with the sadistic pixie

Ahhh, it's amazing what the corset, faire and stress diet will do for a girl...

Keep on rocking along, you are looking Great!



What have you been up to at the gym???

With my changing schedule, I'll be going back next week (been too long).
Most likely first thing in the morning, MWF.

I'm actually going to start going to the gym at KU. I can get my workout in, shower, and head straight up the hill and not worry about being too late to find a parking place. =)

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

Color me 'low clue', but where is the KU gym and what can you tell me about it?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's the new recreation center they built, next to Watkin's Health Center. Students get in free!

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

And just to jump off of CR's point, non-Univ personnel can't get memberships, at least when I checked with them last year. Don't know if this applies to you, however.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

I'm a KU student, persuing a PharmD.
I should look into it.

The new place looks really amazing. Two words kind of put into perspective the level of changes they made from the old facility: climbing wall.

It's been really wonderful to watch your progress as you started to lose, when you'd stop by my office to brag on those days when you hit one milestone or another, when you continued losing, and continued feeling cuter and sexier, and then to observe the change from within as you started to feel better about yourself in so many other ways, too.

Although the first part was huge fun to see, that last bit was the most pleasing. I've been delighted to watch your spirit really come alive over the past months, and I know how feeling more like you're wearing your own body once again can help with that.

Hugs,
Chris

feeling more like you're wearing your own body once again
Exactly. The girl walking around with the 160-185 pound body didn't even feel like me. Now I finally feel like myself. It's wonderful. I just need to start lifting weights again to get my strength back.
