Day 127 of Compliance
Today is my
18 week weigh in. Down
3.8 lbs from last Wednesday to
141.8 lbs for a total loss of
48.8 lbs.
Thanks so much Kym, Pippi, Biki, T, Christy, Linda, Pam & Erica for offereing your well wishes and support. Your posts here as well as your private messages were a great pick me up when I signed on a few days ago.
My family is facing a rough road, but last Wednesday I finally reached out for help and and our friends swept in this weekend to help pick us up. Asking for help is something I have a very hard time with. I seem to forget that there are people in the world who care about me and are willing to help me no matter what. It was so nice to sign on here and realize that even the lovely people here that I have never even met are willing to help. This forum really is bonded by more than just our weight loss experiences. Thanks for that reminder.
I'm still on plan. To be honest, I've hardly been able to eat for the last week, but have stuck to liquid supplements to get me through. Sometimes they cause nausea, but I know I need the nourishment especially since almost everything I eat sends me straight to the bathroom. I know it's nerves, not the meals, so I continue to stay OP. I had a nice drop this week, surely related to the frequent bathroom trips, but hey, a pound is a pound!
So much seems to have happened around the the past few days! Kym making the 20 lbs club, Linda making the 30 lbs club--that one makes me VERY proud since I remember chatting with Linda day 1, oh and Mickey reaching GOAL!! Wow! And how about Biki getting a part as a extra in a movie?! How awesome! I'm going to try to head out now and do some more catching up.
Oh, and Christy, yes I am in single digits now. I am wearing an old pair of size 8 jeans today and they fit perfectly. I bought 2 pairs of size 10 jeans about three weeks ago and I'm having to cinch the waist and they are already too baggy in the seat. I think it was Merry Mary that said the smaller she got, the less lbs it took to get her into the next size. That's happening to me too.
I realized today that I weigh less than I've weighed in 10 years. I also got my Tennessee drivers license today. You wouldn't believe the difference between it and my Michigan license. It's amazing what losing close to 50 lbs can do for you! It's still a drivers license picture so it isn't exactly a glamour shot, but maybe I can figure out a way to post the two of them so you can see the difference.
