Can I get a drumroll please?!
 

HEHE! so, i go to the drs this morning & anxiously, nervously step on the scale. i couldnt even believe it when i slid the thing over to 200 pounds and it was too much. i was so exstatic to move it back to 150 and then move the little one up. 198 pounds! UNDER 200!!!! omg i almost died. i was so friggen excited, but tried to keep it in to not make a fool out of myself LoL so, the nurse looks at my chart and is like "oh my goodness, you lost 81 pounds!!!!" and she gave me a big ol hug. haha :) i was like.. noooo- that can't be right. and she looked again and was like- "oh, thats what u weighed in january" when i was full term pregnant with my baby girl & 279 ~ the time. at my post pardum checkup, i had lost 40 pounds in baby weight and was down to 239... and i started dieting about 2 weeks later. and now i'm 198! so, i've lost 41 pounds since starting LCing almost 2 months ago. i was hoping for a 20 pound loss & i've lost 41 pounds! i'm so happy :D at the same time, i feel like i don't feel that much different than i did in january. i feel like where the hell did those 81 pounds go? some days when im in the shower, i look down and still look pregnant. i still feel just as overweight as i ever was.. granted i still have 63 pounds to go, so, i am still severely overweight, and still fat, but you think i would feel different or look different after losing 41 pounds- or 81 for that matter. but not really. but whatever man- i lost 41 pounds!!! :D im sure my mental picture will catch up with the physical one eventually ;)

Congrats!! I have gone under to 200 mark today too :) It feels good!

I can see a difference in my body though, my shoulders stick out now.. trimmer waistline and hips.. seems to be a nice all over slimdown.. my skirts and so loose too :) it gives me the encouragement I need to keep going :)

Well done, keep up the good work!

WooooooooHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Way to go Crystal!!! That is awesome to have lost twice what you were hoping for!! Keep up the great work!

I'm jealous!!!!!!!!!!! <pouting>

I want to be under 200 too!!!!!!!! <more pouting>

Okay, time to be a grown up, no more pouting.

Truly, I'm very happy for you, that is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!

Valerie

that is awesome - way to go! i would love to lose 20 pounds a month!!!

Congrats! Although like Valerie, I am very jealous because I can't wait for the day I can slide that big weight over to 150 instead of 200!

I'm so happy for you. :cheer: Welcome to Onederland. :)

I know how you feel too, looking at yourself in the shower and thinking, gosh I need to lose alot more weight. But there are days when I can feel the difference, I feel lighter and the way I walk is different, sexier even. :lol: DH has even started calling me Babe. :lol: I know my mental picture will catch up too, with time, as will yours. Keep up the great work. I'm so proud of you. :cheer:

Congratulations! Sounds to me like you might be almost happy about the new weight. (wink)

Congrats Crystal - that's great!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That is sooo awesome =)!!!!!!!

congrats! :)
i bet if you took pictures you'd see the change between two monthes ago and now :) the mind tends to see whatever it wants but pictures don't lie :)
anyways congrats on being in onderland :cheer:

WOW Crystal!
I was hoping you would post your dr. visit.
I remember reading that you would only weigh in this week and were hoping for 20 lbs! What a double surprise!

Keep up the good work! You'll be at goal soon!

Yeah!!!! Congrats!!!

Congratulations. That is an awesome weigh-in. You deserve a long, long drumroll. Marty

thank u so much guys!!! my next "weigh-in" will be mid-july. even tho im doing good, i know i can be doing better and im going to work on it. mostly try to cut down on the snacking and drink more water- and add some resistance training too. this will probably cause me to lose slower or maybe even stall since i will be building muscle, but hopefully it will up my metabolism and cause me to inevitably lose. i'm hoping for another 15 pound loss by mid july... which is like 6 weeks- think its doable now that i've reaped the benefits of the initial flush and probably gonna slow a bit?
