I'm just a normal girl crazy in love with my Husband George, love to travel and eat... and usually fail at losing and keeping weight off... We never wanted kids of our own but we adore our nieces and nephews. We are also huge movie buffs who enjoy going to advanced screenings to see most movies before they're released. My life is fun.... Full of family and friends and a while lot of laughs.

Putting on my Big Girls' pants!
Here I am in my Big Girl Pants ........ Since I am now in Sweet THREEDOM... and I have lost 85 pounds on my journey along the way... I thought it was time for me to put on my biggest pants and see the difference... I know it's cheesy doing the "look how big these pants are on me now" but TOO BAD! These pants are huge on me now and when you signed on to ride this journey with me... there was a cheese clause, that allows all over the top displays of goofy "jump in one leg and smile big" or "jump in one leg and let hubby jump in the other" well, we are not there yet... but we are definitely on our way... Look How enormous I once was!
BTW, please no emails yelling at me for my shirt... it does say "I get enough exercise pushing my luck"... And it is a joke... It is actually one of my workout shirts... Did I tell you my hubby got me Just Dance for my Wii? Gilly loves it and I mentioned that maybe I would like to workout with that once in a while too. I got the Wii for my birthday and love the fitness games I have tried, but I keep adding more. Anyway, thanx to Gilly and her awesome blog, I am a dancing fool too and man, is it a workout... Fun though! I wanted a small reward for hitting sweet THREEDOM... but my bigger reward with be when I hit 100 pounds down, I am still thinking about that one. But I did have fun putting on my big girls' pants!

ReplyDeleteI love cheese! However, what we have here is not cheese, but a very awesome accomplishment. Congrats. (I love Just Dance too - they have a Just Dance 2 coming out in October - just fyi in case you get addicted).
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!!!!

ReplyDeleteThat is so great!!! Cheesy or not, who doesn't want to put on the big girl pants?!?!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME WL! You look great and the size difference is AMAZING! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You look fabulous and keep it up! I LOVE Just Dance too!!! My friends bought it for my birthday last year! I actually bought ankle/wrist weights recently to give a little more of a work out! Haven't tried them yet! Maybe today!
ReplyDeleteNot Cheesy at all. You look great! I know that we always don't notice the size difference in our everyday lives, but big girl pants bring us back to reality!
ReplyDeleteI think pictures like these are a great motivation helper, cause I'm sure once you see these pictures and see how amazing you look it just makes you want to keep going and stay strong on this journey. Congratulations you look wonderful!!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteOMG MARIA!!!!! that is a fantastic shot.. You are killing us with awe!! Girl you are doing it!! you must feel WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteAll cheese welcome here! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I've saved a couple of pairs of trousers from my heaviest and on days when I feel like I haven't lost any weight or that I don't look any different from pre-surgery, I pull out one of those pairs and try them on. Of course they now fall right off. It really brings it home and helps to remind me that yes, I am making progress.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing really well, congrats!
LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this pic and love the joy on your face even more!
ReplyDeleteLove this picture and how happy you look!
ReplyDeleteI love cheese!! (well, except bleu and gorgonzola, but that's different)
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic!! I'm starting to wish I'd kept some of my biggest-size pants to be able to just this someday. You look amazing, and SO happy! :D
Awesome!!! What great pics!
ReplyDeleteBring on the cheese! You look great and so happy. Love it.
ReplyDeleteno need to apologise! You worked hard, so enjoy the heck out of your 'jared pants'!!!!!! Wonderful so be able to see such a HUGE difference. Just imagine how those pics will look when you're going back for more cheese when you hit goal :)
ReplyDeleteThis amazing!!! look how far you have come... so so so proud! x

Congrats!! I was just banded last week, very happy to have found your blog. You're inspiring!
ReplyDeleteCommenting again. Can't help it. I keep coming back to those pictures. Such an inspiration. Also, I don't know about you, but one of my NSVs is to be able to curl myself into an overstuffed stuffed chair with my legs tucked under me. Women do it in movies all the time and whenever I try it doesn't quite work. I don't really tuck all that easily.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that recliner in the background is PERFECT for that! When you get there, please have George take a picture for me. I call it inspirational NSV porn. Inappropriate for sure, but whatever gets you through right? LOL
Woooo hooo, awesome photos girl!
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW, GIRL! WAYYYYY TO GO!!! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, my dear!
ReplyDeleteFabulous post!!!!
