OnMyWay2Fit 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Right after surgery ,I was lucky to stay on the treadmill for 5 minutes , walking 2 MPH.I accidentally pushed the wrong button yesterday and had to run at 4 MPH. It was rough going ,but I did it. I haven't ran for 19 years. My wrist weights I bought to use while I was walking now actually fit around my wrists. Congrats to all of you. Keep up the great work.:smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twilight 2 Posted January 14, 2008 Right after Christmas I was doing some sale shopping with my sister and didn't want to buy anything because I knew it wouldn't fit for long...but at the same time it was depressing not to buy. I was in a 20 at the time and so where did that leave me? So I found a really good deal on work pants at $13 a pair and HOW DO YOU PASS THOSE UP???? So I tried on a 20, decided that I liked the cut and bought 1 18 and 2 16's. I wore the 18 last week and was feeling pretty good about life. It has been awhile since I have been in an 18. This morning I wanted to see how long it would be before I would be able to wear the 16's because I am running short of pants with only the 1 size 18.....and they ZIPPED! They were still a little snug but no snugger than my 20's were getting when all this started!! I wore a 16!!! I didn't wear them to work but I WILL WEAR THEM NEXT WEEK!!! I'm going to do whatever I have to in order to be in them next week. 16 is my new favorite number!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fanny Adams 7 Posted January 16, 2008 I've noticed that difference too - stay awake and alert all day, instead of hitting that wall and practically passing out at around 2-3pm. I think it also has a lot to do with dropping the carbs for lunch. I did notice in previous diets if I didn't eat Pasta or bread for lunch, I didn't hit the wall, but of course I could never give up my yummy lunches and so had that problem almost every day.

Twilight 2 Posted January 19, 2008 I got my favorite pair of pants on and ZIPPED today without doing the pants dance. They still are a little tight but not as tight as the size 20's I was wearing pre-op. I could wear them today but I've gotten used to wearing my pants looser and they were super uncomfortable! They are a size 18...but not a WOMEN'S 18. Levi's here I come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christasha 0 Posted January 19, 2008 My family told me my Walmart "stretch" jeans were just to damn big today . . . so I went and bought an 18-20 and looked and them and said no way will they fit .. .and got home and damn they DO FIT! Then I was trying on some old clothes in my drawers - and I can ALMOST fit in some shirts I had after my hysterectomy . . .and that was 14 years ago! (Can you say I'm a pack rat?) They will be fine . . . and will be gone in a few months I hope - and I will give them away this time. I also bought a 3X Chargers Shirt today. I've NEVER been able to wear 3X teeshirts from anywhere . . . and I have room to spare in it! Yea! I would have bought a 2X but there wasn't one to be found in town today. I'm happy!
