[Orrex]

1. Be careful!

Or at this rate you'll just disappear!


Congrats on the svelte-ifying!

[fizzgig]

7. thanks!

there's still enough of me, so i'm not worried about disappearing :D

[SPKrazy]

2. Yay you!!!!!

way to go

:hug:

:bounce:

[fizzgig]

8. thanks

i never thought my 'skinny' pants would be too big

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

12. that's gotta feel good

my pants don't fit either

:bounce:

I need a clothes shopper

I hate that

:hug:

[fizzgig]

18. come out here and we'll do it together

and we can ask each other if our new pants make our asses look fat :rofl:

and yay for you too! :bounce:

[SPKrazy]

27. Well I will at some point so

hopefully my pants won't all be threadbare by then :P

:rofl:

I think pants make my ass look fat period :P

[fizzgig]

30. my sister once asked her boyfriend that question

and he told her her fat ass made her ass look fat

she busted up laughing

:rofl:

[Phillycat]

3. Damn, what are you doing to lose the weight?

I could stand to lose 20 pounds myself.

[fizzgig]

9. i stopped drinking soda and cut back on the fast food

i'm on the run at work a lot, so it's way too easy to just hit the drive through

i also go rid of the ex, so i'm not as stressed out and i'm drinking waaaaaaaaaay less now that he's gone

[Phillycat]

17. Well, damn. I don't drink soda (except Diet Sprite) and I don't eat fast food.

In fact, my diet is almost all organic anyway. And I haven't had alcohol in over 4 years.

Maybe I'm just meant to be fat...

[fizzgig]

22. i haven't seen a new pic of you in a long time, but i wouldn't call you fat

i hope you can find something that works :hug:

[malta blue]

4. You must be in lurve....

:blush: to lose that without really noticing....

Congrats :)

[fizzgig]

11. that does have a lot to do with it

i knew i'd lost weight, but didn't think it was anything like that

:)

[malta blue]

14. ...

:bounce::bounce: I was sort of kidding, but hey....

Love and lost weight! Congrats on both!

[flvegan]

5. Congrats! Now, figure how much of your total body mass you've lost.

You should be very pleased.

[fizzgig]

13. how do i do that?

i do need to tone up, tho. i'm not too pleased with some of the flab i've got going on

[flvegan]

34. Divide the weight lost from your original weight.

Multiply by 100 to get a percentage. Example, a 200 lb person losing 40 lbs 40/200 = .2 or 20% when multiplied by 100.

6. Hey - that's great!

How have you done it, and can we see a picture of your new svelte self?

[fizzgig]

15. thanks!

stopped drinking soda and really cut back on the fast food. i eat on the run a lot and it was far too easy to just hit the drive through

i'll get pics as soon as i've got someone to take some :P

i'm not in bathing suit shape, but i'm wearing pants i haven't been able to wear since high school

[Writer]

20. OMG - soda!

No kidding there. That stuff is the bane of American lives. It's like crack in a can, filled with sugar and potent caffeine.

Well that's great. Congrats! And I can't wait to see the pics.

~Writer~

[fizzgig]

31. i know

i was drinking a couple bottles a day...i also have a bit more money now that i'm not buying soda

[billyskank]

10. Wow, that's a lot.

I'm glad you're happy, hon. :hug:

[fizzgig]

16. thanks, sweetie

:hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. Very very well done kagehime...

You should be very proud of yourself, as you have lost this weight the right way. 40 pounds in 10 months averages out to 4 pounds a month. This is a wonderful, slow and healthy pace.

This means that the weight that you have lost has an EXCELLENT chance of not returning.

You have done something very good for yourself.

Congrats on your accomplishment!

[fizzgig]

23. thanks philboy

i hope i can keep this off, i just have to keep from slipping into the bad habits i had

[electron_blue]

21. Congrats!!!

I also lost 40+ lbs once the ex was gone. Later, when I hoisted a 45 lb suitcase on the scale for weighing at the airport, I was amazed at how heavy 45 lbs was and that I was no longer carrying that much extra around. Enjoy the extra energy!

[fizzgig]

26. that is exactly what i thought

it's like lugging around an extra suitcase...or two of the huge things of cat litter i use

congrats to you too

[Infomaniac]

24. Congratulations

Slow and steady weight loss is the best.

[fizzgig]

28. thanks infomaniac

:)

It does feel good to lose the weight and wear clothes that have been in the closet for ever because they were to small....
