And the scale says........

For a year now I have been watching my weight and working on losing it. Well the weight in was fianlly done and the scale says.... I have lost just over 60 pounds.



I changed my eating habits, became more active. I refused to weight myself everyday or week and decided to weight in one year from when I started.



I sure feel better, so much energy and I am a lot more comfortable.



The hardest was the eating part. I don't like eating much especially breakfast. Now I am eating up to 6 small meals a day including breakfast. I eat small portions and try to refuse seconds. I drink a lot of water. As soon as the nice weather comes I will start walking again. For the winter the snow shovelling has basically kept me going with excerise.



I have tried for many years to get this weight off with no luck. I just decided last year that I would like to get down to the size I was when I met the hubby. I am almost there just another 20 pounds or so to go.



I refuse to go shopping for new clothes until the last 20 come off. So to say the least I have been raiding my daughters closets. They are not too please about it let me tell you. I think it is right down funny. Pay backs are well you know.



Just wanted to share thanks for listening

Fantastic Leah, good for you I know how hard it is to lose. My doctor suggested I try and get 20lbs off as being Diabetic the extra weight takes quite a toll. It took me a few months but I did it and also reduced my Insulin intake. My family all noticed and say I look good. Can't say as I feel much better but I am pleased I got it off.

60lbs!!! That's great! Congrats on the weight loss and the change of lifestyle!

WAY TO GO LEAH!!!!!



I really need to get motivated and lose weight. I think I'm going to try to aim for 25 pounds to start. Then go for another 25. (I'll be happy at that weight I think DH bought a home gym and we set it up in the basement along with my treadmill so we'll see how it goes. I must admit I haven't been too faithful with the treadmill

Awesome!!

Glad to hear that you are doing so well!



As ya'll can tell I'm on the weightloss bandwagon too! notice the weight ticker at the bottom of my post!



I can't believe that I have posted my weight but hey~this will keep me accountable!! I would have to have to move the ticker up!

I started at the beginning of February~I am doing pretty good I think. I guess the first weight comes off the quickest!



any one else losing weight~what are your secrets???

Congratulations on the weight loss, Leah. That is absolutely fabulous


I have to lose weight also because of the diabetes and my heart.

I have joined Curves, but haven't been back since. This place has done wonders for a friend of mine. I will have to start back up next week.



This is the time to do it, especially with spring coming, the jackets and heavy clothes will be coming off.



Let's get this done!!!!

Congrats from me too - I lost weight several years ago and I know how good it feels.



Did you ever see the joke about the big lady wanting to weight herself and the scales are hiding around the corner quivering?........well that's how mine feel anymore.

Wow that is fantastic Leah, congratulations.



And mgf you are off to a good start too, congrats and keep up the good work.

Thanks Meg!

I am really not doing anything special~just trying to eat when I'm hungry.

But it does look like it is doing the trick~
