Wearing a skirt keeps me at the gym

Hey everyone,

I am estatic right now!! For the first time in a long time I am wearing a skirt and couldn’t be prouder of my toned legs!!  I actually haven’t wore skirts in the past 5 years!!!

I feel great - I haven’t hit my goal weight yet, but I am relaxed at this point I know all the patterns of my body already –I have been documenting them since January.  I always gain during a certain time of the month and maintain during a couple weeks then drop the weight during another time of the month.  So as long as I keep eating right, and exercising and changing things up on my body I will continue to get in better and better shape!  I also want to point out and thank everyone on this site for helping me realize that I have been guilty of emotional eating! I didn’t even know it. Just like the first time I got on a scale and it said 169, I thought it was broken!  It wasn’t until after I seen a picture of me (actually my before that I have posted) that I realized how much weight I had gained!  Well getting back to topic because I now know that my overeating was linked to emotions I can and have changed that factor!!

I am thrilled right now.  Size 5 clothes are even being pulled out as they fit too snug right now, but very soon they will ease right on!!  I am elated.  Now I will get a little tan going on and its all good.

    Congratulations on the first skirt. Wow, excellent progress.

    It’s interesting that you documented your weightloss and you have an idea of the reason for the flunctation, when and why. Never thought of that. What program did you use? Do you have a graph.

    Congrats also on getting back to a size 5 - you are so dedicated and it’s certainly showing.

    Keep it up buddy!

    Thank you - no graph just a calender. I make notes everyday of how much exercise I do, if I stayed on track with eating, and when I get my period. It keeps me in check and I see where my weightloss falls.

    We have similar body reactions! I noticed as well that certain times of the month Im a couple of pounds heavier and certain times where Im lighter. I tend to go with the lighter weight;) Its usually a week before I get my period where I get bloated and once I get my period 5 lbs wear off. I think last week I was retaining water. This week hopefully will be better. I am trying a different routine - hitting the gym again and starting the weights. Keep up the good work thats amazing that you have reached your goal!!!!
