Good morning everyone! I woke up to my husbands alarm clock at 5am and have been up every since... on my day off! Boo! Been prowling around facebook, pinterest, and other sites lol. Finally made my way here. Thank you for the insane amount of support yesterday on my new low, and new BMI category! It's amazing to think that I'm only 30lbs overweight! I know some people would freak out over that, but when you start at 140lbs overweight... thirty is something to celebrate lol. Celebrate I did, by composing a new before/after picture and sharing it on facebook. I got the idea when I dropped my kids off in tot watch at the gym because you have to leave photo ID there to identify yourself when you pick up the kiddos (IF you pick up the kiddos.. haha) I looked at my ID and thought "nobody will ever believe that's me". And it's still good for another two years!! So here it is, my drivers license photo vs. a picture of me I took yesterday... I didn't smile for comparison purposes lol. Holy hell, I found my chin and neck, and ohhh look... a jaw line! Side by sides always blow my mind, as you don't notice the changes as they happen. I honestly don't think I would have been able to do it without all of the support and friendships I have found here. Thank you <3 I got 3.5 miles in at the gym yesterday, bringing my total miles to 27.5. I ran two miles and got the rest of the miles on the bike. Today I will be 'for real' biking after my husband gets home this evening. Looking forward to it! Today I have a doctors appointment (Imagine that) for some anxiety issues I have been having. Experiencing a lot of shortness of breath and heart palpitations, so because I'm no good to anyone dead I decided to take the plunge and call the doctor. Ironically, the impending appointment is giving me anxiety lol. Say a prayer for me, I just want to feel like me again. Thank god its Friday!! Tomorrow is the big day, celebrating the anniversary!! We are going to go to cedar point and ride all the big scary rides we can't ride with the kids. I think we are going to go on the sling shot too. Google it, it's insane!! They pretty much sling you 360ft in the air. What a rush lol. So I was pondering on my recent big drop on the scale and the only real change I've made is that I've been eating more carbs lol, isn't that odd?? I'm going to roll with it, maybe my body feels safer burning the fat now that I'm eating more carbohydrates. I'm going to increase to 150g/day on days that I track and see where that takes me. The human body is so funny. I hope that you're all having a wonderful day as we roll into the weekend!!

Yolanda,
Your before and after are amazing. Your after picture looks like the younger sister to the before picture. Keep up the good work.

Wow you have come a long way! Thanks for sharing the pictures, very motivating for all of us to see that a great positive change can be attained if we care enough about ourselves and do what needs to be done instead of sitting there feeling bad, complaining, feeling worse and seeking comfort in even more food.

So happy for you. You remind me of the slogan 'what will you gain when you lose' and it's been a wonderful experience sharing your journey with you. I think changing up food now and then shocks your body. I don't think going overload on sugar would but yeah, maybe adjusting the ratios. This is something I've been mulling around between my ears a few days here. Thank you for the photos. I used the same Driver's License when I lost the last time and no one ever commented... or questioned.. and this was TSA for flying. I even used Cutty's license once and still no question. I'm not sure what TotWatch would have done.

Beautiful!!! Congrats, Yo, on a job well done! You're gonna kick that last 30 lbs ass! (That sounds weird...). So excited for you for tomorrow! Happy anniversary and have fun at the lark on the rides. You'll get in a lot of walking too, I'm sure! Best of luck at the docs - glad you're taking care of yourself. 😊

My God, Yolanda! Congrats for all you have been done and for all commitment to go further and become even healthier! Your comparison-picture is something close to incredible and is all I need to keep pushing myself. My biggest problem is the anxiety! Any trouble in family I stop exercising and start eating unhealthy food! However, I am trying to get rid of it! Thanks by the inspiration and have a nice weekend!

You've been an inspiration and support to so many people here, you deserve only great things in return! Good luck at the doctor! I hope they can help with the anxiety, it's so hard to deal with on your own and sometimes you just need a little extra help. You are braver than me, I would never do the sling shot! I won't even do roller coasters. I tried a ride a couple years ago with a big drop at the end and I have a wacky heartbeat anyway and that thing didn't help, so I decided it may not be smart for me to do those crazy rides anymore (and I'm a chicken). :) Have fun!!

Beautiful! Both before and after, but what an amazing transformation! You are doing so great! Don't sweat the doc appointment. Just think about how pleased the doc will be to see all your progress on healthy living.

amazing!! i think i told you i have anxiety too. i've had a lot of therapy, but i must say the meds really work. and no, i'm not dependent on them. now i get a couple of attacks every couple of weeks. it used to be daily. i hope the doctor is good to you. i can understand being anxious about it, but it will be fine.
have fun on the rides and happy anniversary!
