When losing weight???

[bradedit]

When do you go buy some new clothes? I have been wearing sweats around the house and they are beginning to fall down, I have to keep tugging them up!(Its a good thing) but I don't want to go buy anything yet. I feel like the incredible shrinking woman, yeaaahhh!

I just wanted to brag a little

wtg!! isn't that an awesome feeling!? (aside from feeling like a slob )
when i was losing and my pants were at the falling down point, i kept rolling the waist to make them a little more snug. i don't know how long i wore them like that before i finally gave in and went ahead and bought a couple new pairs. (i started at 18 and bought new at 12, then i bought new again at sz8/10)

BRADEDIT--What are you doing to lose weight and how much have you lost? I started the Atkins diet and for a diet I love it. Of coarse I would love to be able to eat "junk food" and lose, but I know that's not possible. I've lost 6 pounds in 10 days and have 15 more to go. I thought and thought about it before Christmas and then just decided to do it. I think losing weight is alot about "mind-set". Everyone tells me that I will more then double back the amount I lose, but I really know that I can never go back to eating like I have in the past. And--as of right now--my minds made up about losing.

Congratulations!! Ask around...maybe your friends have some clothes you can "borrow" until you get where you want to be??

I am doing the South Beach Diet, which has been great for me and DH. We started mid-November, then with Thanksgiving and going home for Christmas we were bad, but are back on track now, I have lost about 20lbs, my clothes are doing weird things but I refuse to buy new ones yet. I have alot more to go, but I have some great recipes so its helping us all out!

OOH...lucky you!!... to have the problem of big clothes that is...not lucky that you lost weight...THAT would be hard work not luck!! If I lost 20 lbs I would go out and buy some new jeans. I always eat less when the pants are feeling more snug. If I had sweats on I would probably eat myself back into them. lol

What is your goal??

[bradedit]

cata5,
I wish they would feel bigger after 20lbs. I wish something would look alot smaller too, but I know it will soon.

Ahh, my goal was to lose about 50lbs! After I quit smoking the pounds just flew on!(It could not have been me overeating, could it?)

Oh I am just waiting for that day I had Lap Band Surgery on Friday and even though I'm a little sore...I'm so glad I did it

[bradedit]

How much can you eat now Brittwoman? Will you show us a before and after photo in a few weeks??

Congrats on the weight loss, Tami!
I go out and shop for everything new the minute I drop a size. Out with the old, as I had planned to NEVER have to wear those sizes again. I don't know if that's realistic, but it keeps me motivated to exercise and eat better.

At my Mothers of Twins Club meetnig last night, we were talking about New Year's resolutions, and a lot of people mentioned wanting to lose the rest of the "baby fat". I was somewhat amused, because I am back at my pre-pregnancy weight. The problem is that after they were born, I got down to about 20-25 pounds LESS than before I got pregnant, so I'm back UP to my pre-pregnancy weight.

It wasn't really hard to lose the weight. I started eating healthier when I was pregnant, and twins can really help use up your reserves. And then after they were born I never had time to eat.
