Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / September 2005I'VE ATTAINED THE 120S!!!
Got on the scale this morning and it was 129 -- that makes 77.5 lbs down!!! I'm a really SAGGY 129, but 129, nevertheless :-) And that's WITH PMS. I moved yesterday and am sore all over. I'll be limping for a while (I actually had to start using a cane yesterday). I'm sure glad I managed to take off all that weight BEFORE having to deal with the crisis of moving, 'cause it's hell on the body even when you're NOT overweight. I STILL managed to stay low-carb throughout all this. Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask my son to pick up some chicken thighs and I cooked up about 12 of them with some parmesan and spices a couple of nights ago -- they've been a LIFESAVER as far as being able to just grab something already cooked. Good thing, too, because we forgot the microwave and still have to bring it over. Then I went to warm up a chicken leg last night and the stove didn't work (breaker for it was off), so I had to eat it cold (and it was still pretty damn good). Macadamias have also figured heavily in the last week. Gotta go -- I'm heating up some coffee water in the wok, which is the only pan I brought yesterday -- we still have a LOT of stuff to move :-)  SignatureSaffire 205/129/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 *** This post originated in alt.support.diet.low-carb -- its appearance in any other forum is deceptive and unauthorized. *** Congratulations on 129.

Nicole 290.5/143/137 monthly-goal: 4 month-start: 143.0 since: 19/04/2004 Woohoo! Great job:) I bet you aren't as saggy as you think you are, honey. You need to post new pictures. I am going to show my husband your pictures. He is so addicted to weight lifting---he thinks one has to lift weights to look good. Bull:) > Got on the scale this morning and it was 129 -- that makes 77.5 lbs > down!!!

Great job:) Thank you! > I bet you aren't as saggy as you think you are, honey. That's because you haven't seen me naked :-) That would NOT be a pretty picture. As a woman on one of those post-weight-loss nip and tuck shows said, at first when she lost a lot of weight, she and her husband were excited and said "Oooooh!" After a while, when they saw what her skin looked like after losing a significant amount of weight, they both said "oooooh...eeeeeeeww!" > You need to post new > pictures. I am going to show my husband your pictures. He is so addicted to > weight lifting---he thinks one has to lift weights to look good. Bull:) Pretty soon (I know I keep saying that). Moving is pretty time- consuming, but now I'm only 3 lbs from goal. I'll probably take a new photo when I reach goal - I even have some ideas on how to pose for that "special" progress photo (get your minds out of the gutter -- you have to PAY to see THOSE photos ;-) I'm happy to say that I now feel "tuckable" (i.e, I can tuck my shirts in and not feel self-conscious about it -- I don't look like I did in my 20s and 30s, but in a way, that's refreshing -- at 50, I'm not EXPECTED to have a flat, tight belly -- I'm expected to have a little pot belly, even if I'm skinny :-) I haven't been exercising for a while now; I'm looking forward to restarting it and seeing how the new size looks WITH exercise :-) I'm still kind of reeling from this. Because of the move, I haven't really been looking in mirrors much lately, so each time I see myself I'm surprised again, especially if I happen to catch my reflection as I'm walking into a store or accidentally past a mirror (like the one sitting in the driveway waiting to be disposed of) -- it's like who IS that? Even my shadow looks a lot thinner :-) It's so great to see myself look like that again! I used to be so disheartened when I would see the reflection of myself walking up to a store door, even if I WASN'T feeling disheartened until then -- now I smile when I see it and people wonder what I'm smiling about :-) You take so much for granted when you are younger and thinner :-( SignatureSaffire 205/128/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 *** This post originated in alt.support.diet.low-carb -- its appearance in any other forum is deceptive and unauthorized. *** > Got on the scale this morning and it was 129 -- that makes 77.5 lbs > down!!! > I moved yesterday and am sore all over.

That is very exciting! Definitely yes on the moving. It's going on 3 years since I moved, and it was very hard work for a middle-aged body. My legs ached for months afterward, and it took almost a year for a little muscle tear in my tricep to heal up. I thought afterwards that if I had been doing more weightlifting, it would have made things a bit easier and possibly prevented some of the injury and arthritic stuff. Hope it's over soon for you and that you don't have to mover for a looooooonng time. HG > > Got on the scale this morning and it was 129 -- that makes 77.5 lbs > > down!!!

My body is a mass of bruises, especially on the shins -- I'm thinking of taking a photo of it because it's so impressive :-) I have an expensive massage chair and haven't been able to use it for the last few days, when I needed it MOST, because I can't find the power cord to it. Oh, I HAVE it, because I remember packing it -- I just don't know where I PUT it :-) I could SOOOOOO use a massage right now :-( SignatureSaffire 205/128/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 *** This post originated in alt.support.diet.low-carb -- its appearance in any other forum is deceptive and unauthorized. *** > Got on the scale this morning and it was 129 -- that makes > 77.5 lbs [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > a LOT of > stuff to move :-) Good job and congrats on the progress.
