Determined.....


Before I quit smoking 2 years ago, I wore a size 6. Don't be all impressed with that because I'm short and I'm old so 6 is good. It's not great but it's good.


Then I quit smoking and packed on the lbs and went up to a size 10! This did not make me happy plus I had so many cute clothes that were size 6.


So we joined the gym and I worked out fo 2 months and only lost 4 lbs.


I changed up my plan and now only do cardio, no weight lifting, and I lost 6 more lbs.

I was telling my friend Robin at work (hey Robin!) that I had now lost 10 lbs total and she said...well, that's a clothing size.


HA! I had never thought of that. So on Sunday, I tried on my size 8 shorts and boom...they fit!! And they are not tight....they are loose!!


This....makes me happy. And makes me even more determined. I'll get there....soon I hope.


later..........

Good for you. The gym and I aren't on good terms, but I'm forcing myself to trudge through. Because I know it will be worth it one day...right?

Great post!! It is so hard to get the weight off and the older we get - the harder it is..so kudos to you for your success. When I complain about my weight - that is what I am really complaining about too - that some of my favorite clothes are not comfortable anymore.

GOOD JOB! Man, do I know how hard it is. I've just lost 6 1/2 and am tickled pink. Now if I can just get rid of the next 7 I'll be lovin' life!!!

It's a good feeling when our clothes get too big. Good for you for sticking with it.
