Non Scale Victory-7 months

[Linda121010 0]

I haven't been on here a lot...but just had to share.

My husband had surgery in November and has lost over 100 pounds and looks fabulous!

I have lost over 77 pounds now and I feel great. My loss has not been fast-but it is in the right direction, so I am happy! Unfortunately I am a carbaholic, so I really have to work at not having bread.< /p>

With our higher energy level we are tackling some yard work that was not done for quite some time-so my gardens look beautiful, our shed has been cleaned out and washed down, overgrown ivy and pine trees have been trimmed,etc.

I now walk two miles, a couple of times a week with a friend, when we first started I could barely do the two mile sin one hour- now we have no problem finishing in less than 40 minutes! At lunch most days, with other friends, I walk a bit-not counting time or distance-but at least I am moving! And in one week, another friend who just became a personal trainer is going to have her first official client--me! I am looking forward to it. My only worry-she said her PT made her actually like excercise and this is the miracle I am hoping for!

I went from regularly wearing 4x or 5x to the 2x's being too large! My size 32 pants are way gone--I have a pair of size 26 shorts on that are feeling loose-going to get a smaller size tomorrow!

My reward for 75 pounds: My first ever pedicure was today! Yippee!!!

You and your husband are doing really GREAT! Congrats on your weight loss! Good luck with your PT experience and I hope you do get to enjoy exercise. I like it- but have difficulties getting going and making my mind say yes- get on that elliptical!
