Since Thanksgiving, I have lost 15 lbs....

[WCGreen]

All I did was cut out buying and eating a candy bar wheneven I went to a store.... (Almost every store has them at the counter)

Cut out daily deserts....

Made sure the transfats intact was low...

Slashed by three quarters the amount of soda I drank...

Upped my H2O intake and started drinking more V-8, grape juice to go with the Noni...

And for the first time in a long time, I am looking forward to swim suit season...

But I'll never get to be a size Tew....

I was beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

[1gobluedem]

3. Congrats to you!

I am working on eliminating trans fats and high fructose corn syrup from my diet, hoping for similar results.

I need to work on increasing the water I drink. Damn diet Pepsi.....

You should feel really good about yourself -- congrats again!

[WCGreen]

9. I have a Ginger Ale maybe twice a week now...

I enjoy it so much more now....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Good for you!

That is a signal accomplishment!

You look great, and the loss of all that fat will only make your life easier......

I'd even expect that your breathing might benefit from it...

Congrats!

:toast:

Hope you're having a great day!

10. Supposedly....

But they want me to keep some padding just in case I end up in a coma again....

5. Ah, soda

I just stopped drinking regular soda and it's amazing what a difference it makes. Congratulations!

[WCGreen]

11. It is just not good for you....

diet or regular...

[Beer Snob-50]

6. it is incrediable what just cutting down on soda and candy will do

I have also found that just eating proper portions help a great deal also. And, of course, excercise.

Also congratulations!!! That is a great accomplishement.

[WCGreen]

12. Yea, a single hamburger instead of a triple....

As if I would ever eat another fast food hamburger...

But getting turkey based lunch meats really cuts down on the fat...

[MissMillie]

13. YOU ROCK!

small changes.... big results.

that's just great!

[WCGreen]

18. I still want to lose about another 15 lbs....

And a pants size....

[Shine]

19. Ya know, I was gonna mention that I'd noticed that in your last pix.

I can definitely tell. :thumbsup: Good job!

My hubby has dropped a lot just by cutting out all desserts, too. He commits for a certain period of time, like 3 mos., then rewards himself by a big pig out, on one certain night. :D The next big pig out day is coming up, on my birthday in March.

22. in 2005, I lost 140 pounds of unsightly fat . . .

old joke.

[Left Is Write]

23. Sweetie - I wouldn't WANT you to be a size tew.

But good for you on your healthful changes! :)

I still say you've got some great looking dimples.

24. I've lost 63 pounds since last May.

And first, I don't know how a mostly skinny person could have gained all that weight.

And second, I don't know how I could have lost all that weight in such a short time except since the separation, I've been exercising (he hated doing that) and eating healthy -- soy, mostly.

It's like having your own personal earthquake and I'm not complaining. It's just so much more drama than I'd ever expect from just my own body. I've never gone up and down this way. It's just weird. :shrug:

[Lex]

27. Whoa.

I'm impressed with that! It's taken me several months (ok, nearly a year) to lose 40 pounds. Almost exclusively through exercise, walking mainly, is how mine has been lost.

:thumbsup: to you sfexpat2000. Exercise has become a tonic for me--stress reliever and a bit of an anti-depressant and meditative too.

[EFerrari]

28. Walking is all those things for me.

It's free and all you need is feet.

lol

:toast:

[mentalsolstice]

25. You da man!

The number one man! Losing weight is tough! Anyone who can do it is a real hero!

[zonkers]

26. 15 lbs in 2.5 months. Damn good. You have done it the right way.

No freaky faddy diet. I followed a similar regimen to yours. I also made sure I ate yogurt and fruit once a day. Ended up losing about 15 lbs. Good for you.

[Robeson]

29. Good job!...

...your body thanks you...:thumbsup:
