Thread: I just realized I'm part of the 100+ weightloss group...

I guess it didn't dawn on me at first, maybe because I'm still only 1/3 of the way into my weightloss journey, but I am actually going to have lost more than 100 lbs when I get to my final goal, actually 115 to be exact. When I first realized it, It was horribly depressing that I had let my weight get that high, but then I realized... when I am done... I will be able to say that I did something very few people actually do... lost more than 100 lbs. I guess its all about how you look at things...

As of today, I crossed the 40 lbs lost mark... and it felt really good.... and sooner, rather than later I will hit the next big milestone of being half way there (at 207.5 lbs)... which I will be extatic about.... but I know that losing 115 lbs will be a huge deal. It will be a journey and a result I will be proud of(but no worries... I am proud of the 40 I've already lost).

So to all of us losing 100+ lbs.... we must celebrate the journey we are taking, and look forward to saying we did it!

I know what you mean Therese... celebrating every pound is so important to keeping me on track.... but then again so is seeing the pounds come off. I'm not huge into the measurements (as I always forget to get them before I start), but I do focus when my clothes are looser and eventually starting to fall off. That's where I am with a lot of my pants right now. I am lucky enough to have a ton of jeans my SIL gave me in two of my next sizes... and so many are brand new. She had gastric bypass surgery, and bought a ton of clothes, but she never got down to those sizes... so its good for me. I think I'll start trying all of it on once I get to 199. Just don't think they will fit without losing another 20 lbs. THey are all 14's and 12's, and right now some of my 16's are just a bit lose, and all my 18's are like parachutes. It's weird, but I'm always afraid of trying on the nezt size down... like I'll be devastated if they don't fit.... so I don't wanna take the risk. Blah. I need to try some of them on.... because I have a ton. And I sure as heck don't wanna wear pants that are falling off, if I could wear some that fit well. Only bad thing is a lot of the pants she gave me are juniors 13 and 15's and I don't know if they will ever fit because they are designed much more narrow in the thighs... and I have a ton of muscle in my legs from running and lifting. Guess it will be worth a try. So that's my to-do thing today.... go through all my clothes and see what's too big (give it away) and if its still too small (put it back into the storage bins in my closet.) Hopefully this will go well.
