This morning I lost another 1 1/2 pounds, bringing me to a weight of 124.5.....

G O A L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)))))))))

68 pounds gone forever!!!! 

I have gone from a size 20W to a size 5/6 !!!! 

I have gone from being a couch potato to a belly dancer, who loves to wall climb, and who also loves to run during the week!!! LOL!!!:))))

Comparing Measurements:

Jan. 1, 2003:
Br.: 39", Waist: 40.5", Hips: 46"

Nov. 1, 2003:
Br.: 33 1\2",Waist: 31 7/8", Hips: 36 7/8"

Dang, my arms look good! LOL!!:))) 

Then, Hubby said he'd take me to see the Desperados play arena football, once this shirt fits me, so that I can wear it to the game! What a great challenge for me, being I LOVE football !:)

March 27, 2003: I tried my Dallas Desperado shirt on and it FITS!!!:))) 

Also, we are going to the May 4th game and I will have photos of me taken in it at the game!:) Thanks Weight Watcher's!!:)

What's funny is that, when the dancers heard I have 23 1/2 more pounds to go until Goal, they told me I already looked good and asked why I wanted to lose more! LOL:) 

When I said "Look at you guys!," one of them then asked me if I wanted to be a dancer too!!! LOL!!:)

They even autographed a picture to me and one to my hubby as well!:) They gave me high five's & hugs too!:) These Ladies are truly a Class Act!:))))

Hubby and I had the BEST time!!:)))
 

Hubby and I went shopping at Ross to find me a dress to wear on Easter Sunday. 

Even though my pants and shorts are a size 14, the last dress I had tried on was a size 16, so that's the size we were looking for. All the dresses in that size were either way too long (I'm only 5') or were hideous looking. 

Then I saw the dress I am wearing in this picture and I fell in love with it. Being it was a size 12, I hung it back on the rack and kept looking. When nothing else was found, we went back and got this one for me to try on and it FIT!!!!:)))))) 

Thanks to KennysMomma and VBCoach22, we now have our very own "Losers R Us" shirts to wear!!:) I LOVE IT!!!!:)))))

The front reads "Losers R Us" and the back reads "Join The Losing Journey!" I really love the picture of the computer on the front too, as it reminds me that all of my good online friends are only a mouse click away!:)

By the way, check me out in this picture wearing my size Medium!:) Oh yeah, size Small here I come!!:) 

LOL:) And so does our kitten, Simba, as he wanted to have his picture taken with me this morning!:) 

Yep, he's a ham, just like his Mommy now!:) 

Only problem my hubby has now, is how to get me to stop wearing them! LOL :)

Can't help it! Just knowing they are a size Small makes me want to wear them everywhere I go! LOL :) 

In fact, the other day when I went out to get the mail, I slipped my jeans on over them!! ROTFL!:) 

Yes, I know.... I am hopeless... but I'm also having the time of my life now!!:) 

Thanks Weight Watcher's!:)

My wonderful hubby bought me two new outfits this past weekend!!:)

The one I am wearing in this picture is a size Medium!!!:)))) I wore this one to church on Mother's Day!:)))

The second outfit is two sizes. The sweater top is a Medium but I had to get the other skirt in a Small, as the Medium in that style kept falling down!!! LOL :))

There are still some mornings I wake up feeling like I am on the wrong planet! Like all the stores have mis-marked the clothing or something! It still doesn't feel "real" to me! But I am so loving getting used to the feeling of being thin!:))))

June 6, 2003:

OMG, these are the same 20W jean short overalls I am wearing higher up on this same page!!!

Now I can get BOTH legs in to one leg!! I LOVE this program!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!:))

Hubby and I went in to store called Hot Topic to buy my next "goal shirt" and this one caught my eye!:) It's the tiniest red shirt they had there and I fell in love with the black cat holding the # 13 on it!

UPDATE: June 16, 2003:

I was to try this shirt on when I hit 139.5 and 126.5, to see when it would finally fit. Well, this morning I hit 139.5 and here I am in my new shirt!! It FITS!!:)))

WOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!!:))))))))))))))

June 28, 2003: Hubby and I headed for Dynorock , in Arlington, TX where we met up with the nicest instructor and we all had a blast together! Here I am with the instructor!:)

This guy was super great!! He took his time with us, encouraged me the entire time, and after the climb was over, he gave me a FREE PASS to Six Flags, to use when I ride the roller coaster there when I hit the 120's!!:))) 

I was a little nervous, only because I really didn't know if I would even be able to get off the floor!! LOL!!:)

But I was determined to try my best and to have FUN with it!:) Hubby took these great memory pictures for me!:)

Some of the places to put your feet looked way too small to me, but with hubby and the instructor encouraging me on, I just went for it!:) 

That's because I am about half way up the wall in this photo!!:))

The instructor told me that I went right up the wall with no problems at all!:)

Ok, this was the coolest thing ever!:))

That pipe, and those beams above me, show that I made it! All the way to the top of this 25 foot wall!!! With no problems at all!!! :)))) In fact, I made it to the top of 3 different sections of this wall!!:)))

The instructor told hubby and I that a group of teenage boys had problems on this wall a previous week and that they stopped climbing and came back down! So, how cool did I feel hearing that?!!:)

I might have thought it was the last person, like me, who tried this as a reward! LMAO!!:)

Here I am telling Tom & Jerry, outside one of our grocery stores!! LOL!!!!:)))))

...well, she decided that she was going to start watching her weight now too!! LOL:)))

Y'all know I had to toss this cute picture up here! Like mommy, like kitty:) LOL:)

Hubby and I went shopping today and we bought me this new dress:)

Remember that my Easter dress was a size 12 ?? Well this one is not.

It's a size 10 !!!!!!:)))) Woo-Hoo!!!:))))

OMG!!! I can't even remember when I ever wore a size 10 !!! I am SO Happy!!:)))) 

I am wearing this dress to church on Sunday morning and I can't wait to strut my smaller size!!! LOL:))))

As always, thanks Weight Watchers!!:))

LOL:) Ok, so it's not yellow polka dot but, compared to what I use to wear before WW, it sure is teenie!! LOL:))

I must be insane, putting these up here now, with my tummy still needing to drop some pounds and get more firmed up and all, but I figured "what the heck!"

You've already seen me in my Hooters tank top and my Duckie pants, so what pride do I have left??? LOL!!!:)))

So, here I am as of today, weighing in at 136, with 56 1/2 pounds gone and only  11 more to go to reach Goal!!:)

Figured that, when I do reach goal, I will put pictures up of me in bikini at that time too, for comparison!!:)))

My Belly Dancing costume arrived today!!:)))

I am so excited!!! This is the costume that I will be wearing in the Guest Talent Shows aboard the two Cruises we are going on!!:))

First, on the Anniversary Cruise my hubby is taking us on this November and then on the Losin' To Go Cruisin' 2004 Group Cruise for our Posting Board Group, next March!!! Yee-Haw!!!:)))

(Update: Nov. 17, 2003: This is my newest belly dancing costume that I will wear in the talent shows! It's from a store called Electric Boutique and it's the very first time something from there has fit me!!!:)))) 

Here I am getting ready to go out to Pyramids with my hubby, to watch my Belly Dancing teacher and their Dance Troupe perform!!:))

This black sparkly dress hasn't fit me in about 7 years!! The expression on hubby's face showed me this dress was a hit this night!!:))) I even wore my hair fancy to look nice for him:)) Felt SO good!!!:)))

My teacher, and the entire dance troupe, ROCKED!!!:)))) They were so graceful and so beautiful that they brought tears to my eyes more than once that night!:)))

If you are in the DFW area and have a chance to see RAKSZ perform at Pyramids in Dallas, don't miss it!! :)))

We were in Wisconsin visiting friends and family during the Harley Davidson 100th Celebration, so I just had to get my picture taken next to one of them!:)

I chose this one due to it's unique license plate, which reads "HOOTR" 

LOL!!!!:))) Now if I only was wearing my Hooters Tank Top, this picture would have been perfect!! ROTFL!!:)))

Hubby bought me the shirt I am wearing in this picture and I happen to think the saying fits me pretty well. It reads:

"This is what Spoiled looks like!" 

After losing 61 1/2 pounds so far, and going from a size 20W to a 10, I can't help but to be spoiled either!:) LOL:)))  Thanks WW again!!!:))) 

Bought new jeans today in Single Digits!! :))) Woo-Hoo!!!!:))) Can't remember the last time I even wore Single Digits!!!:)))

Here I am in my Jordache jeans, size 7/8 !!!!!:))))) I am SO loving this!!!!:))))

All my thanks to WW, my wonderfully supportive hubby and all my outstanding, amazing friends on the Newbie Board!!!:))))

Here I am, sitting in the lap of the newest Teddy Bear that my wonderful Hubby bought me!:)

After having a couple of bad weeks, with not feeling good, it was nice to have my newest Teddy here to handle all my "big problems," so that I can concentrate on getting to Goal once more!:)))

I named him "Rupert," after our favorite person on the t.v. show "Survivor!" :)

Thanks Hubby!!!!:)))))))))))))))))))))

I bought this "I Dream Of Jeannie" costume a long time ago, to wear this coming Halloween!! :)

I have had it hanging up in my bedroom ever since!:) 

Being I am only 2 1/2 pounds away from Goal, I have decided to wear it this year!!:))))

Thanks Weight Watcher's for your great program!! I couldn't have done this alone!!:)))) 

And then it hit me. How better to celebrate all of that, then with a ride on the Judge Roy Scream?! :) My hubby's favorite roller coaster at our local Six Flags Amusement Park!:) I even have a special Silver Roller Coaster Charm waiting to go on to my bracelet afterwards!:) 

(Note: yes, it was originally supposed to be on the Texas Giant roller coaster but on advice from my doctor, regarding the roughness of that ride, I have had to change my plans and go with this roller coaster now instead:)

Nov. 24, 2003: I hit Goal today!!:))))) YEE-HAW!!!!:))))

I started thinking, long ago, about what I would do, once I hit it, and Texas Stadium (home of my Dallas Cowboys) came to mind!!:))) 

So, watch for pictures of me, taken inside Texas Stadium, to show up here soon!!!:))))

After receiving free tickets to the Cowboy's Draft Party from the Dallas Cowboys Pro Shop, (thanks guys!!:), hubby and I headed for the party at Gilley's in Dallas today!

Yep, that's me in my blue wig and my Kids Medium size t-shirt, (as small adult shirts are all too large on me now! LOL:), with our Quarterback, Quincy Carter!:)) 

You can see all the pictures from our time at the Draft Party by clicking HERE! :)) 

Time to finally say Good-Bye to all my fat clothes and make room for all my new things now!!:)))

Packed up 5 boxes and 4 bags of items, ranging from dress slacks, sweaters and dresses right up to shorts, t-shirts and jeans, and giving them away to the local Women's Shelter Resale shop today!!:)))

Whatever they can't use, they can sell to help with some of the shelters needs.

No better feeling in the world than knowing that I am helping someone else, while helping myself to better health at the same time!:))) 

Thanks W.W.!!!:))))

As of today's weigh in, I weigh 124 pounds!!:)))

My next Personal Goal Reward will come when I reach 120 pounds!:)))

I have asked my wonderful hubby to take me to downtown Dallas then, so that I can get my photo taken by the Cattle Drive Statues, seen here!:)))

I have been wanting to see these special statues, up close for some time now, so what better way to celebrate the fact that my weight loss is still moving right along!
