Can I brag a little??

ok. well, not really braaaaag. but share my good news? As of today, I have lost 52lbs since May 06. I am very excited and very happy. I have completely changed my life. I now walk 6km/4miles every day, plus stand on my feet 8 hours at work. I no longer eat take out (which was once my staple). I eat so healthy and good and feel great. And for the first time in my life.. my clothes are to big. I am after going in 10 notches on my work belt. Plus down 2 jean sizes. I still have a long road ahead. but its a start. My next goal weight is going to be met in another 8lbs lost. I can't wait.. :) Making mini goals really do work. :)

Lets share.. whats everybody elses good news??

Wow 52 pounds in less then 3 months, thats alot. Mine is not that much but since may 11th I have lost 25 pounds.

Congratulations!  That's awesome! haha I don't have a lot to brag about.. hmm...  Well, the other day when I went to the doctor's office my blood pressure was 105-62 or something like that, which means I have the blood pressure of an athlete. I'm proud of this because I haven't been swimming competitively this summer but have been trying to remain active, and this suggests that I'm still in relatively good shape. 

Congratulations!  I'm just beginning my weight loss, so not much to brag about except that I'm actually doing it, but that's enough for me. 

Great!  Way to go. 

My good news.  I've now lost 10% of my body weight.  And the other day when I started to get dressed for work, I realized I couldn't wear a particular pair of pants because they were TOO big.  Now, off to lose another 20%.

Great Job1!!

I think it said 52 pounds since May 06.

Great job by the way!  I've lost just over 30 and i have about 20 to go!

Do you mean 52 lbs. since May 6th, 2009

OR

Do you mean 52 lbs. since May 2006??

If you look at the profile it says May 2009, which I have to agree is a lot of weight lost in a such a short amount of time.  Congrats though!

i guess if she were significantly overweight it'd be possible

how many calories a day did you eat to lose that much?

I've also lost 52.5 pounds. But mine is from Jan 09. But 37.5 of that was from May 1st, 2009. only got 12.5 lbs to go for my final short term goal.

hey. thanks everybody! Wow.. a lot of you have tons of things to brad about too!! I love this site.. it has REALLY helped me a whole lot!

First of all.. Im a male, somebody said she. Secondly, It has been 52lbs since May 06, 2009. I was a 100lbs overweight.. so I have the weight to lose. Thirdly, I said that I have completely changed everything in my life.. so losing this much really isn't a bad thing. Besides, I can't help how much weight my body drops off.. haha. But hey Im not complaining! :)

Wow congrads to everyone here.

I know exactly how you feel, I have lost 54 lbs since April 29.  It feels great. I have more energy, I do not eat what I used to al all.  I was eating almost 2700 calories a day from Mcdonalds alone and to me that was just a snack.  Just stopping Mcdonalds was a big change in weight loss it self.  I did not realize what I was eating, A big Mac 750 calories, a large frie 750 calories, large coke I think it was 200ish and 2 cherry pies 500 calories.  I was eating that twice a day plus my dinner at home and breakfast at work.

That is why I had high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and ended up in the hospital with a stroke.  No longer.  Tomorrow I am going to be riding in a 24 mile bike marathon, for the first time in years.

Keep up the good job.

Thanks, but reading success stories like yours is an inspiration as well, because if the people on cc can do it, so can I.

I've lost over 60 lbs and gone from probably about 40% bodyfat to 15%, though I won't consider myself a success until I reach about 10%, I'm in the middle of the hardest part right now and it would be really easy to give up.

(applauding)  Yea for you!!!!   Keep up the good work!
