Okay first things first. I just did my weigh-in:
I should be embarrassed about my cleaning-day socks, but I'm not. I'm way too happy about my weigh-in this week to worry about my socks. Is it real? Could this be? This past Saturday I was 279 and now 275. Woot.
This week was far from perfect. There were some days when I ate too much and others when I didn't exercise, but I really payed attention to what I was eating and made effort to exercise. I put the number I wanted to weigh on a giant note card and placed it beside my desk, it really helped me to stay on track seeing that number. I would think "will this action get me to that number?".
Next weeks goal is 271.
Last night while we were at our usual sushi place I noticed that when I sat down it didn't hurt. This place uses wooden chairs with arms that dig deeply into my thighs. I have to adjust how I sit so it doesn't hurt as much until the pain deadens. The sushi is too good not to go.
Last night when we went I had on my usual workout pants that I seem to wear every time we go and as I sat down there was no pain. I kept thinking about every possible option for the lack of pain. My pants? nope, these are the same. have I somehow found a way to sit without pain? I don't think so.
Could my thighs have shrunk just enough that I fit in the chair without pain? possibly so. This gives me hope to keep going and keep exercising for the upcoming airplane trip.
YAY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!
And that is a wonderful story!! Hooray hooray hooray!!!
That’s cool! Your socks are cute, too.
Congratulations woman! Great job Lorrie!
Congrats – you’re doing awesome!
I definitely have moments like that; the other day, I realized that I could go through the turnstile at the gym without having to go sideways!
Woot Woot girl! How exciting!
Tomorrow will be the final meeting of the 12-week WW subscription I won from you. I am so thankful.
Have a great weekend!
Woohoo! You’re KILLIN’ it dude!

Great job! Doesn’t it make you smile when you have a NSV (Non Scale Victory). Keep it up, it takes little steps to become a Big change.
great job lorriane ,
i had the same experience in my bath tub, i felt the same feel of space around my bums and i had room to swirl around which i did with excitment!!!
way to go dear
I am so very excited for you – congrats on all your hard work.
WOW, wedding so close, I might sound a little strange saying this, but having followed you for a little while, I now wish I could see your wedding via live video cam just to be there and see you glow.
Okay, too stalky right – seriously am far away in Oz, so please don’t be concerned
Congratulations! That’s a great loss! Keeping my fingers crossed for your next goal
Socks schmocks!

So many awesome things for you today lady!!!! Congratulations
That is so great! It is so exciting when hard work pays off!
Woooo!!! Go girl! Congrats… that is awesome!
Congrats! Clearly you’re doing something (apparently lots of things) right, even on a “far from perfect” week. Great job! But, um, have you warned the seamstress you might need some more alterations on that wedding dress?
Well done on your weight loss.
Isn’t it great when you notice the small things that mean so much. Like having a bit of room in your seat. I hate it when they have small seats restaurants!
AWESOME!!! Keep on Walking! Birds are singing, sun is shining, the air smells so clean and fresh…it’s great to be outside!
Awesome, AWESOME!!!
what a great loss congrats. I love sushi!Hope you had a great weekend.
Awesome job on the weight loss! Keep up the great work. You’re very inspiring.
I just added this blog to my reader. I think it is inspiring to read about the success of others who are dealing with the same issues. Congratulations on your success!
GREAT JOB and youre so right about seizing and harnessing that motivation.
LOVE the cleaning socks
Wow good for you. I have been working hard losing weight for the last 6 months, doesn’t it feel good to surge ahead. I have started writing my musings on a blog too visit it if you have time.

thanks for your blog!! very inspiring! just FYI- if you weighed first thing in the morning and in the buff you’d probably weigh even less than you think!
keep up the good work!
