I have been working decently hard at loosing some weight. Lastnight I was told I looked average (in person) YAY! Now my Dr. can shove her chart, where the sun don't shine (she called me obese)!

So here are 2 pictures I took of myself with my new Digi

Thank you

I think I've lost no more then 20 pounds since I've been on my own. My work pants don't fit anymore! I have to keep pulling them up

I need to find an old belt as new pants are not an option

The scary thing is that I see a lot of my sister in me & can now see why the nurses at the hospital thought we were twins

I'm 3yrs older

I would have said somewhere between 19 - 21. Then I checked your profile just to make sure I wasn't way off before I posted.

Congratulations on the weight loss. I would ask for your secrets but I do think that losing weight is a whole different ball game for those of us in the upper age bracket (aka old). You can thank yourself that you are doing this in the early years as every year older you become, the harder it gets.

I would say you look between 20-22.

You really look great!!

I dont think you look fat at all.

**king2005** · 05-03-2006, 09:51 AM

Thanks everyone

I'm working on bringing up my selfestem (sp), as its quite low. Rob even called me fat

He was the first person in my life to say that too me & felt he needed to tell me a few more times... I also hate being called pretty! I know I'm not & its very insulting to me & Rob always called me pretty & it hurt everytime & I'd remind him why it hurt.. I just wanted to be called cute cause that is what I want & know I am

.

So I was called darn cute & Average lastnight (ok he called me sexy slim with curves & I made him change his mind to average hehe)... Happy Happy Happy!! & as you can tell I am happy cause I took photos of myself

Being only 5'2, a 5 pound weight gain shows up on you a whole lot more than it does on a taller person. My sister is that height too and she has always had a problem with weight. I am 5'4 and I can gain 10 # and nobody notices it, she gains 10 # and everybody notices.

You also need to get out and walk on a regular schedule, walking takes it right off! When my son was first injured in that explosion last year and I stayed at the hospital for 7 weeks.. I ate like a horse and still lost 18 pounds, just from the walking!

I walked around in the park where I live everyday for a week and that took 4 pounds off without me even realizing it.

For clothes, can you afford Goodwill or garage sales? That is where I get the bulk of my clothes from. I prefer buying used so that I don't have to worry about them shrinking after they are washed... Get name brand for just a few dollars!

I have a thing about walking alone. I do take Cyrus out on weekends, cause Rose & Francois go out & they leave Cyrus with me & will poke me if I don't take him for a walk

I can outwalk Cyrus so that has to be a good sign as hes SOOO hyper

Right now I cannot afford anything (as in this month, I blew every penny I had on a digi camera.. I needed something to enjoy & taking pictures is a big part of my life)... I did keep all my thin clothing, but I'm still about a 36 or smaller (was a 38), but all my thin clothing is 33-31

So my goal is to wear a belt for work & to wear shots when I'm at home.. I have those stretchy shorts, so they will last me until I get back to a size 33. I can't wit to go back into my old jeans! I have 20 jeans collecting dust right now & some nice pants & ummm short shorts lol ok they are short for me, but not butt showing short lol

I can't wait to see dad this xmas

He's gonna drop his jaw

I also plan to get back into working out to beef back up.. I miss being able to lift 100p
