May/June weight loss thread

Congrats Veronica! I know how hard you are working from following your HIM training thread. Great job!

I had a "finally" moment yesterday as well. I MADE MY WEIGHT WATCHERS GOAL!! Actually, I exceeded it.

Today I am 129 pounds (WW goal was 130). I'm thrilled.

36 pounds ago, I had no idea what my body would look like at this weight, so I just picked 130 as a reasonable goal for my height. Now that I'm here, I think I'm going to make myself one final goal. 125 pounds by 6/28/2009, the day of the Pacific Crest Triathlon, 7 weeks from now. I hoping to lose the last 5-6 pounds of belly/thigh fat and gain a few pounds of muscle.

After that, I hope I have the strength to throw away my scale.

YAY SUSAN!!! How very exciting, and inspiring to the rest of us!

**Veronica** · 05-08-2009, 07:10 AM

Woohoo Susan! That's fantastic!

Susan, this totally made me smile. I hope you have the strength, too. If so, then I think you can truly say that you really have made a lifestyle change and not just completed a diet! Awesome!

My early meeting got cancelled today, so I was able to weigh in. My starting weight is 171.0 and for whatever reason, I'm feeling strangely optomistic about the next two months. Gotta love it!

I feel really positive today too. I think it's the rays of sunshine streaming across my desk. I'm sitting in this warm pool of light, and loving it!

After soooooo many months of cold and rain, the start of nice weather has me feeling very energetic. I'm hoping for this wonderful sunshine to continue on into tomorrow, for the 1st tri of the season. My swim heat starts 24 hours and 5 minutes from now! WooHoo!

I think you are going to luck out! The rain isn't supposed to return until Monday...so it should be a great weekend, weather-wise.

Best of luck tomorrow - may your season start off with a bang!

As long as that "bang" isn't the sound of my rear tire exploding!

Thanks - it's going to be a great day! Half the staff is participating, and we're having a tailgate BBQ after we all finish, while waiting for the awards. Whole bunch of family and friends coming to participate and/or cheer for the staff. Should be a fun day!

I'm out this time ladies. I'm still losing, but with the whole engagement thing, I'm following too many boards and am OCD enough to try and keep up with them all. I'll let know know if I do something awesome though.

starting weight 187 goal weight 175.5

CONGRATULATIONS! Susan on reaching your goal and Veronica for dropping into a new decade. The two of you are an inspiration to all of us.

I can't imagine how exciting that must have been! You've inspired me to dream about a new goal. Congratulations on your hard work. I've noticed your new found confidence and it's very inspiring.

Well I remembered to weigh in this morning...

255.8

my goal weight is again 250. I think I did well only changing a little bit from last challenge. I have not exercised much this week due to the neurapathy. I was hurting so bad two days I had to break out the narcotics, which i hate to! At least I have them for relief and I guess I need to stop complaining!

I've gained all the weight back that I had lost last year, and then some!

Start: 188 (it's really depressing for me to type that)
Goal: 175.

The goal might be a bit too optimistic, but I need to be hopeful after going from 168, and then adding 20 pounds on in less than a year.

**minn** · 05-10-2009, 08:43 AM

131 is my starting weight

**jesvetmed** · 05-10-2009, 08:59 AM

Just wanted to add my congrats to Veronica and Susan! Great success! Way to go ladies!

**polly4711** · 05-11-2009, 04:35 AM
