WoooHoooo! 8# lost in as many weeks. Feels effortless!

Post by cab54 » Sun Jun 11, 2006 9:08 pm

I went on NoS (for the second time, first time heart not really in it) the last week of March or so, and I'm noticing it's been about 8-9 weeks. I have been avoiding the scale, but seeing a big difference in clothes, having dropped a pants size (I'm short--5'1", and a pant size is about 8# for me)and wondered---

Hopped on this am before breakfast and glad to see 8 full # off. For someone who is a 51 year old female, dieted (and subsequently wrecked her metabolism) since 1978, and is having---ahem---all of the hormonal 'issues' (also weight related, hard to lose)of a woman my age------I HAVEN'T BEEN ON A DOWNWARD MOVEMENT ON THE SCALE IN ALMOST 10 YEARS!!!

So, I'll take it, and please pass the small square of weekend chocolate, because it's an S day! :mrgreen:

Oh--and I also walk at least 2 miles per day and do a 'balance ball' workout about 3 times per week, and some yoga.

Cab54,

That's fab news! You're eating 3 healthy meals per day, and a few squares of chocolate for the weekends (I read your other posts), and look at what is happening to you! :D

Congratulations!
It's time to make it beautiful.

So simple, it's ridiculous.
Once I pried my head out of diet books, and stopped looking for a 'miracle' through all of the 'focused gluttony' diets, and crazy $$ making schemes out there, I was able ot see that 3 squares a day is the one constant I lived by, back in my slimmer days. :idea:

Wherever my weight 'levels off' is fine with me. The freedom of not being governed by 'bad' or 'good' feelings about food is priceless. :)
