WHoops there goes another 4lbs!!

[Lulika]

Hi everyone
Just wanted to brag a little...I had my doctors appointment this morning and was eager to see how much weight I had lost. So far it has been 16lbs in just over a month. My doc had said to expect the weight loss to slow down after the initial loss, so I wasn't expecting much. But I have lost another 4lbs :D I am so happy because it was unexpected and it makes it 20lbs so far!!! I have been exercising hard and watching every morsel I eat...so here comes NEW SHOES SATURDAY!!! :D

[JadeMonkey]

Congrats! Sounds like you're doing very well, just keep it going.

Be careful buying new shoes. If you're planning to lose a lot of weight your shoe size might go down. Mine did. :eek:

Yay for Lulika! :congrats:

Keep up the good work - just remember to stop before you disappear completely! :eek: You're new but we would miss you 'round here none the less.

[davef]

How very careless of you, losing another 4lbs ;)

Well done Lulika you are going really great, buy the shoes and enjoy them. Soon you'll have to buy new clothes too.

:party: :party:

[morrisma]

New shoes? Everyone's motivation is different. :D

I'd think by now you'd need new jeans....
Very good for you!

[fgummett]

Be careful buying new shoes. If you're planning to lose a lot of weight your shoe size might go down. Mine did. :eek: I'm betting that would be reason to buy even more new shoes... congrats :D

[Dewey]

Lulika, congrats to you on the weight loss! It's not easy, so you definitely deserve those new shoes & a pat on the back! Here's hoping you see continued success! :thumbsup:

[Scrabblechick]

Congratulations! Woo-hoo! Good going, Lulika. Get you some good lookin' shoes!

[Lulika]

Thanks everyone, you guys are great! :D
Talking about new stuff, my clothes are definately getting too big, there are pants I now cant wear because they literally fall off :D But I am going to wait until I lose alot more before taking them all in (or buying new ones :D)
I will post a pic of my new shoes....I am thinking something with heels...:D

[Kim_in_TN]

GREAT JOB!!! You go girl! I love shoes too but it's been years since I wore high heels. I am looking forward to the days when I have small ankles and shapely legs again! It will still be quite a bit more pounds to lose but I WILL get there!

[adiantum]

Woo-Hoo Lulika, What a woman !!!

Enjoy that shopping spree

[Lulika]

Ok so here are the shoes I bought today.!.I am a shoe-aholic, but I know there are people out there, who won't understand (i.e most guys :D)
I just love them and they are really comfortable despite the heels...oh how I love reaping the rewards of dieting :D :D

Nice shoes! Even though I know I would never have the balance to wear them safely.

Congratulations on your outstanding weight loss. I've only lost ten since Jan.

[Lulika]

Thanks Holly...but dont say ONLY ten..thats still really good! Every little bit helps and it has weird way of stopping and starting again...good luck! :)

[UpNorth]

Congrats on the weightloss :D And nice shoes :) I never managed to find a pair of shoes in China... The biggest size i could find there would have fitted me in middle school or early junior school :T LOL

[Jan B]

Nice shoes Lulika -- I only have one pair of high heels, and I feel so feminine in them! My husband is shorter than me, and I feel awkward towering over him!! You have good taste -- have a great weekend dear!

Nice shoes, Lulika! I don't know when I last wore really dressy heals! That's a goal for myself when I lose quite a bit more! CONGRATS! ;)

[Lulika]

Thanks for the compliments everyone :D

Ah, you're still my Gal Pal!

Lulika, glad you got a reward you liked, as we say here "enjoy in good health"

[pmurray6]

Hi Lulika, that is great news....may I ask... how many calories are you allowed each day and what are you eating... I have a lot of weight to lose and I guess I am looking for any suggestions... and I know the first thing I need to do is get my mind straight and the rest will follow.

Weigh to Go:) ! Congratulations. You did not lose those pounds typing on the forum did you? One of us might find them. Oh, No that would be terrible!

[ant hill]

Hey Lilika, how are those shoes??

[Coppernob]

Lulika, those are seriously elegant shoes - they would almost double my height!! :D
Great job on the weight loss - you are obviously extremely motivated. :thumbsup:

[Lulika]

Thanks all. I am so flattered you like my shoes!

Liz, for the weight loss, I am not counting calories, but instead have cut down my carb intake to a fraction of what Iused to eat. So no white bread, rice, potatoes, chips etc. No ice cream or sweets, no chocolate...you get the idea! Basically I am just eating healthy stuff..lots of salads, greens, I am a vegetarian so no meat, plenty of low fat low sugar yogurt and cheese and afew nuts. It is working for me :D
The main huge difference I have made is going from a couch potato to someone who exercises. I started off doing a 30 mins a day walk, 5 times a week. I am now up to an hour and a half, 5 times a week. I have tried so many diets but never stuck to an exercise regime. Whilst I still dont love it, I am convinced that it has doubled my overall weight loss efforts.
Good luck!! :D

[Janlaton]

Wear those hills while you can. But still take care of the feet. Me I've taken my belt in a notch since Christmas and most of my jeans would fall off with out the belt! Gonna lose another 10 pounds before I buy more pants. The ones I bought last summer are to big without the belt!!!!

[jacobsam622]

Keep up the good work. :D

[Lulika]

Way to go Janlaton! I also see the biggest difference in my jeans. I have 6 pairs that are now way too big and this week I bought a new dress (I never wear dresses) and it actually looks ok on me! Wonders will never cease! :D

[CookD]

I can only dream of wearing such a beautiful shoe (weak ankles). Keep up the good work.
