Today I went to work and wore a very loose 38w Dockers pants. It was an amazing feeling. And yes, I got a lot of compliments. At home, I've been wearing my 36w jeans lately, and they fit very nicely. When I tell people I am still trying to lose another 20 pounds, they tell me, "no way, that's too much, you'll be too skinny".. OMG "TOO SKINNY" I've never heard that before with reference to me. I'm charting new waters here, but I think I'm liking the boat ride.

Everyone needs to brag!

Just a note to Rich my cousin whom blogged you before pasted away Thursday night of a massive heart attack , Absolutely no warning other than over weight he was trying to do better but it was to late . We all should learn this lesson to eat better and try to be healthier he was only 45 years old . You see Rich you are adding years to your life . God bless and keep our family in your prayers .
ReplyDeleteAww shucks, Chari..
ReplyDeletebut "...... becoming the man God meant for you to be......" hmmm..I think I am and always have been just the way God wants me to be.
Rena, I'm sorry about your cousin. It certainly is a wake up call for anyone that is obese. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thank you Rich , This is why you should be sooo proud of yourself . But at his funeral today three people got saved that didnt know God so he would have loved that . Thanks so much !
ReplyDeleteRena, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin. That is how I lost my husband too, and I know what a shock it can be. My prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Elizabeth .Because of this my husband is trying very hard to eat better and loose weight he is almost under 200 lbs he has lost about 15 lbs in the last month , Mostly due to not drinking any sodas anymore and drinking lots of water . It works !
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Rich! I'm sure at a 36W you are going to be great! They are right though, you don't want to be "too thin". Make sure you are looking at your BMI to be sure it's at a safe range.
ReplyDeleteI'm so PROUD of you!! Actually, I'm proud of all of US!!
WTG everyone!!
Hugs,
Shannon
P.S. Rena--I'm so sorry for you and your family. I hope that all of us are changing in time to prevent that same kind of tragedy.
Thanks you Shannon !
ReplyDeleteI am really proud of you what an accomplishment. When I see people like you -- man oh man, it gives me hope. I have such a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks, WestcoastDiva!! You really DON'T have a long way to go, you just have your 1st pound and your 1st inch to lose. That's it! Just do that, then worry about losing that second pound and that second inch. It's just Baby steps Diva, and before you know it, you'll be running !!!
