Dear Maggie
WOW!!! What an example you are to me! Cause guess what - YOUR goal is exactly MY goal!! I will be 50 on November 2, 2005. I decided on Jan. 4, 2005 that I would greet my birthday a new me! I am 5'5 and weighed 245 on that day. I now weigh 217.5 - so I still have a good way to go, BUT I will make it. I am determined and dedicated this time, and when I read stories like yours it only fuels the fire. How exciting to see how great you look and to hear about your path.
Thanks so much for sharing - you made my day. Stay tuned, I plan to write MY success story next fall too!

You look stunning.
I can't believe you're 50!!! When you talk about your triplets I have to envision little toddlers! lol
your story is so great.
Do you have any special tips? What was hardest? What worked best? What was your favourite reaction from people who haven't seen you in a while? How did it feel to put on your skinny jeans?

Thanks everyone for your comments!
Ivana, to answer your questions:
Do you have any special tips? What was hardest? What worked best?
What was your favourite reaction from people who haven't seen you in a while?
How did it feel to put on your skinny jeans?
Hardest thing was giving up pototes and watching my family still eatingh them grr...
The best reaction was my own doctor not knowing me! She had to check her scedule..she hought her secretary had put in the wrong name 
I had a pair of jeans I had kept from when I first went out with my hubby....First I looked at them every day, then eventually tried them on (up to my knees) eventually could get them on but not done up. One day I got the zipper up by laying on the bed and sucking it up as you all know how to do ). Ran over and showed my husband!! I was so proud of myself!! Meanwhile I looked like a tube of toothpaste that couldn't breathe  Since then they have gotten way too big, but I still have them. My other happiest moment was when the sales girl at Cotten Ginny came over and told me I was shopping on the wrong side! I was in the plus sizes( automatically from years of doing so!)
Hardest thing but most impotant EAT breakfast and drink water. They were both a pain for me but important and I always saved some carbs for at night. I wasn;t really hungry but I would sit on front of the TV and my body said I was...I would eat egg salad with celery stiks, egg salad, cheese, etc......
The one thing I learned this time round that was different from all the other diets I have been on...I did it this time for ME...no one else...maybe that had something to do with it......
Good Luck everyone!. This can be done.  |
