Happy Tears and 60 pounds lighter
Hi Buddies! The other day I was talking to one of my buddies and it was about looking in mirrors at the gym to check yourself out and seeing our progress. I told my buddy that I rarely did that. Mostly because I didn’t want to be caught doing it. But, when I was at the gym today I noticed that even though I didn’t look at the gym mirrors, I do look at myself in the bathroom mirror because it’s near the scale. It was like a routine I’ve been doing forever. I get to the gym and the first thing I do is go weigh myself on their big scale and then walk pass the mirror and I take a look at my waist. I’ve been doing that forever. And today I got teary eyed. That 207 pound person is gone. I am really proud of myself. I had happy little tears but I held them back.
Buddies, I have lost 60 pounds since January 17th. I have 2 more pounds to go until I get to my ultimate goal of 145 (my BMI ideal weight). I know I worked hard for it but at the same time it’s all a blur. Just doing the same thing week after week after week. It became a good habit. A good routine. I feel really good buddies. Really good. :mrgreen:
Awww, that is so awesome! I knew there was a soft side to you! It is good to be proud of yourself! You have come so far and I am so very proud of you!!! 60 lbs? WOW!!! You are so close to that goal now that is doesnt even matter! YOU have made it!!! I cant say how happy I am for you! You MADE IT!!! For me, it jas been a rough ride and you have helped me get through some tough times! Thank you for being you! Love you much, Buddy!!!! WOO HOO!
Awesome and inspirational! I am just starting that journey! I am proud of all of your effort and hard work —
Bittersweet. My mentor and good buddy has nearly reached her goal. I am so very happy for you!! You have really worked hard and it shows! You look positively wonderful, awesome, beautiful, amazing, incredible,(insert positive adjective here)!! I imagine it is emotional to look at yourself and see just how far you’ve come in the past 6 months! Can you believe you’re almost there??
A few more days and you’ll be at your goal weight. How awesome that is!! Congratulations Wonder Woman! You deserve it!!
It’s amzing how well you’ve done! Not only have you lost all that weight but you can actually recognise it and pat yourself on the back and know that you’ve done it. No one else has lost that weight for you. You’ve managed this amazing achievement all by yourself! You deserve to feel so proud of yourself! Keep looking in those mirrors!
WAY TO GO !!!!!
You’ve done an amazing job and you are such a great, supportive buddy.
Congrats to you

Congrats! You’re a real inspiration to me. Every time I see your before and after pics, it makes me want to run a mile and dring a gallon of water right then and there! Look in those mirrors twice as much and soak it up! You’re almost there! You deserve to feel proud; we’re all proud of you too!
That is a wonderful feeling and what I can’t wait to experience myself. I have a long ways to go. But I’ll get there.
Congratulations WW! Losing 60 pounds is no small feat. We know how hard you worked for it. You quite literally ran your tush off! Enjoy all of the success and the new lifestyle you have created for yourself.

Hi Wonder Woman! I must have inadvertantly missed this post on Wednesday! I don’t know that I have much to add to what everyone else has said here–it is all TRUE! You are a great role model and inspiration! I appreciate more than you know your support and encouragement! You are an awesome person who deserves all of the good things in life! You have certainly earned it! AWESOME JOB!!!
First of all, I look at myself ALL THE TIME in the mirror at my gym…I LOVE IT!!! I think I am obsessed with my own butt. Really. It looks GREAT in the mirror while I am on my elliptical…Sooo different from the girl I was at the start…
Also, I loved your Oprah blog too…Just finished reading that…You are ever so right…
I dont want to keep wasting time either…I like who I am and where I came from…I still got more to go, for sure, but the good habits I have now, are lifetime changes for me, and thats the difference I think…Thats how I know eventually I will get there…
Once you are actually HEALTHY be it by food/exercise, or both, you just dont worry so much about eating this or that…It becomes less of an obsession and more natural…
I love Oprah…I do! That was a great blog!
I aspire to have a great success story like you! Congrats! That’s truly fantastic!

We’re all so proud of you! You’re a great inspiration!
