Title: I did it
Post by: newmom on July 05, 2008, 05:37:25 AM

Well, I went real clothes shopping for the first time since my almost 90llb weight loss. I am in a size 10. Now grant it my goal is to loose another 40 more. My small goal is another 15  by end of August for my trip to san diego. Now, I only bought 5 items, a skirt, 2 pairs of pants and 2 tops. Only spent 51 bucks at new york and company. I mean I had no clue what size I was.  Grant it I only do cardio, and when I get back from trip, I will be using the weights two days  a week. Considering the horrific week I have had, this was a bright spot for me. My 3 year old was fun to shop with. She goes mommy what about this shirt. She liked everything in the stores, and oh my gosh when we went into shoe stores, she wanted to try on all the shoes, thank goodness the sales people in the shoe stores, liked having her around. She handed me shoes with like a 4inch heel, I said jacks I  cant wear high heals.

Congratulations on your weight loss.  That is a phenomenal achievement!

You probably don't want to invest too much in a size you won't be for long.

Any reason you're not already hitting the weights?

because I want to loose about another 25 before I do. I know everyone says I should, but I'm subborn and I like what the scale reads

Congrats newmom!!  What a great accomplishment! 

There is some info on the FBB Board about the importance of weight training as it relates to weight loss and fat burning.  You should definitely add in some weight training...it will prevent you from hitting a plateau, help you continue to lose body fat, and tone things up so you look even better once you are where you want to be weight-wise! 

I hope you will still consider doing a training log or progress update thread on the FBB Board.  You can inspire others to do what you have done!  :)

your right cq..people think I did it to fast, I started feb 8th..I sure miss onion rings though, but would feel guilty if I had them. I know give in every now and then but not now. Once I'm a lifetime member at weight watchers and I dont have to pay, that will be great. I went to a fourth of july carnival over the weekend, and there are alot of overweight women (and men) and I'm just watching like ewwwwwww that ice cream do ya really need it. Now I was like that last year, but man what their insides are working like crazy being clogged up and stuff
