Coming out of the closet..

That's so awesome Nuri.. what an accomplishment! I hope I can be that successful with losing weight after I have the baby... I have 60-70 pounds to lose. That the total I gained from both pregnancies.

Congrats to you!

Thank you very much Nicole!
Losing that much weight wasnt easy, it took me a whole year and a half to lose it all, i am very patient and i am glad i am LOL cause that was an awful lot of time to wait! Oh but im finally almost there and it makes me so happy

It's always about how bad you want it, i am sure that if you set your mind and a bit of time to it you will be able to lose it too, take your time, it is better to lose it over a year than in a few months, that way you make sure your body gets used to it and you are more likely to keep the weight off!

Amaaaazing!! but youre stunning one way or the other. Good for you, i hope i find it in me to do the same!

Thank you Liz! You're too sweet, i wish i was stunning lol
i think someone else is stunning no matter what *wink wink* You're beautiful either way bonita, you really are!

Are you serious???? Isnt that the best feeling in the world? I can't wait for Eric to come home so we can run & workout together. Amazing job, and good luck at getting the last few kgs off!

Wow that´s what I call dedication. It´s amazing you stayed motivated during the entire time. I hope I will be like that after my future pregnancies. I can really only hope ;-)

Thank you Kat and Andi!
You know what kept me motivated? it was that i would look at my skinny pictures and think, i never looked that good in my life before, i didnt even look that good and was in such good shape in my teens, i was so happy, then i got pregnant and gained so so much weight, i was depressed for the whole pregnancy, i thought i was screwed for life and that i was never going to be able to go back to how i looked before, then i started using my skinny pictures to motivate myself, and to think about how good i wanted to look again for my husband, it was a combination of that, me looking at my best back then and my husband, and gosh trying to fit in my old clothes that i had sadly bagged to put up in my closet, i missed them, i had bought two full wardrobes for the summer and i couldnt fit in them anymore, it was so so depressing, now that i am able to fit in some of them i just feel like its unreal, i feel so happy, and i think that if you are happy with yourself, you feel better and treat people better, i always thought that if i treated myself well i would be a better mom and wife, and i think i was right

That's awesome, Nury! You're an inspiration!

I've never been pregnant, but I was taking anti-anxiety medication, and it caused me to gain quite a bit of weight! I have all my skinny clothes up in my closet right now just like you did! I've quit the medication because I just couldn't take the weight gain anymore!

I've been walking for 40 minutes a day for the past week and a half. I'm trying to stick with it, and I just hope I'll be as succesful as you!

I'm proud of you!

Woop. Go Nury!
You got patience... my ass just gives up, haha.
Hearts! You're almost there <3

Thankies Celly!
ugh, feel my tiredness, been doing it now for almost two years, im glad im almost there, the hot weather helps though, you should see my arse sweating like crazay!
Anywho, have you started with the gym classes yet?
how is that going? i would be too excited to go to kickboxing classes

<3

No, the kickboxing class is not until the fall - but I am going to the gym! Paid money for that damn thing so I gotta go...

The only thing that sucks is that I see EVERYONE I use to go to school with, mainly dudes. Annoying. So, I'm waiting till work is over to go there regularly at night when no one is there.

But dude, you're already flaca. Not like some vacas we know, hahahaha. Love ya!

Great job Nuri!!! You have more sticktoitness than I have. I could lose 20 pounds and look skinny or 10 and look better than I do now, but I have a hard time not eating!!!

OOh, till the fall, well, still a few months to go but if you're going already that's good! ugh i wish i could come with you i swear, my husband keeps telling me that when we have money he could pay for a pass for the gym but im like, bah no way, going on my own isnt any fun, i wish i had a friend that i could go with.

And i understand what you mean, the gym full of dudes, and they used to go to school with you, gah, i'd probably wear darth vather's tunic and go to work out if the dudes that used to go to school with me were going to the same gym i went, the ones i used to go to school with were such dorks LOL!

Flaca, hm, you know you can slap me with that smelly tuna cause i'm traumatized, haven't showed you my "fat old self" picture so you can faint for a lil while, i used to be heavy dude, HEAVY, i looked like, yeah the huge hippo.. i even looked like her, for reals. My husband looks at me and says "you're getting too skinny already baby" and i just give him a look and slap him with the smelly tuna too -_- and just say, shhh, im not
Love ya Celly, we should chat on msn sometime, if lumber-hijacker lets me

Thank you Lisa! You know i am glad i am patient enough for stuff like that, cause i would have given up a long time ago LOL You guys look better when you lose weight, you guys are leaner have less fatty mass than women, more muscle mass helps lose weight faster and look leaner, you guys dont even get cellulite how lucky are you! -sigh-
I have the hardest time not eating either, I LOVE LOVE food! and i love cooking, but i have to make a super human effort to eat little, i think the feeling of wanting to be skinny weighs more than the feeling and desire to eat in my case lol

WHOA! That's so awesome!!! Good for you! What exactly have you been doing to lose it?

Congrats Nuri of getting close to your weight goals. I can't imagine what its like to go hungry to loose weight but I think its a great effort.

Thanks Elaine!
What i do is, three hours of workout everyday, that includes, high impact cardio, pilates, tae bo, yoga, resistance, dance and kickboxing, all combined, i switch my routine every two weeks, and i drink a lot of water and eat very little, and try to eat healthy stuff, i only indulge on the weekends LOL but it works out for me, i have been doing that for a year, i started off doing a few of them for 20 mins, then for 30, 45, an hour and so on, till i could do three in a row, i really feel like doing it for longer but i have to feed my husband and kids and take care of them LOL that is the only thing that stops me but i love it, even more when i see the results

Thank you Anthea! going hungry for the first couple of weeks is hard but your body gets used to it, i do eat a couple of things that arent supposed to be too healthy but only on the weekends, i pretty much reward myself by doing that for reaching my goals so its all good

Thank you Shaundra! you're too sweet
Good luck with your weight loss, and i know how it feels to be frustrated about gaining weight, so i totally understand where you're coming from! I know you will be able to lose it quite quickly, you have an advantage over me, and that is that you are still really young and your metabolism at that age is still fast, so it really helps! I know you will be just as succesful, walking is one of the best excersices there are! Best of luck for you, i think you still look really good no matter what though! *hugs*

Imma laugh if you get pregnant again.

Just kidding haha, that was mean. I heart you Nury. And I definately wouldn't wish that on you! No more bebies for Nury.

Haha Mindy, no way, i don't want anymore kids, i want to take the ones i have back to where they came from
They're just body ruiners LOL! j/k
but they do break ya, now if i got preggo again i can just jump off the deck -_-
