Ok, I'd like to brag on a bit. I am no longer (according to BMI standards) "morbidly obese", just "obese" lol. This may not be that big of a deal since its just what the BMI calculator tells me, but it means a lot to me. I have lost 41.3lbs....thats big to me
Also, I can now buy shirts in the regular section of a store (as long as they have size XL- but I am no longer 2XL for shirts. My size 20 jeans which I just started fitting into about a month ago are getting loose, and I am really starting to feel better and thinner (some days)
Oh....all the bragging I promisede myself I'd never say to another human being, as I hate people who brag all the time.
Well, for starters I've lost 40 LBS!!!! WOOT! That's amazing, as when the weight started coming off it was unplanned. I feel amazing and people tell me I'm looking good.
My size 38 jeans, which use to be considerably tight are now insanely loose. They fall to the ground. lol. Now I fit snuggly into a 32 and a belt for 34's.
My BMI, which people say not to go by, went from a 29.5 to a 24.3! I'm in the normal class.....not overweight. That in itself made me feel amazing.
About three months ago I got called skinny for the first time *tear*. ME SKINNY?!?!!?! That's when I felt incredible joy.
I have faith in you all! If I can do it, so can you....If any of you need some help I hope I can be here for you.
And believe me, food could never be as rewarding as losing weight is.
Well i was at 352, 44% of fat, and a sz44 in jeans, now im at 265-268, i got a 27% body fat and im a sz 38 or 40 depending on the kind of jean i use, and i also got to say that im in the best shape of my life, i run 2 or 3 miles daily, im pretty muscular and i got so many girls to choose from LOL, to all those people out there trying to do this, let me tell you that it is SOOOOO worth it, its a lot of hard work, but it is the best thing that can happen to you... God Bless!
Okay i need to brag.
My resting heart rate has gone down from 90-100 to 48.
My blood pressure is down from 145/85 to 106/60.
I can now cycle for 4 hours non stop and run for 45 mins !
The weight loss thing isnt perfect yet - im not at my goal, but i can tell everyone that i KNOW im a damn sight fitter than most people my weight
I've been struggling with my weight going up and down for the past week, and it's finally down a full pound from my last "weigh in." DBf and I were jumping all over the place last night. It may not be such a big deal, but it is for me!
