2/3's the man I used to be.
you look fantastic!
-- read and post daily, it works! rosie It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach. ...............................Franklin Delano Roosevelt http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ "JJ" wrote in message news:uVQSb.198177$na.329268@attbi_s04... I had to chuckle at work this past week when one of my co-workers said to me "I mean this in the most complementary way, but you are now 1/2 the man you used to be." Referring to my weight loss of course. Well, this got me thinking. While there is no way I can end up at 1/2 of my starting weight--nor would I want to--my goal of 185 is fairly close to 2/3's of my original weight. So, for my own squirrelly reasons, I'm adjusting my goal weight down by 2 more pounds just so that, when I am done, I can say "I am 2/3's the man I used to be." Hey, everybody has to have a goal. You can safely assume that I have greater goals than this, I just thought that this would be a fun way to think about this. Have a great weekend folks. -- JJ. 275/201/183 - as of 1/30/2004 Atkins since 9/1/2003 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jjsmythe/my_photos Working to become 2/3's the man I used to be! |

You perused my web page, and I reciprocated. You look fabulous, JJ! Not only are you thinner, you have truly taken years off of your "before" appearance! Great job!

Tee http://www.geocities.com/tee_king I enjoyed looking at your site. My DH and I met online, too, through a local BBS. (They say these things never work out!) |

Thanks for taking a look, Sheena. Yep...my husband and I have been together for almost eight years now, and married for just over three years. Eight years ago, we were a statistic...now we're merely in the minority...lol. We still act like newlyweds...love is so much more precious and meaningful when you find the real deal later in life, in my opinion.

We met 10 years ago online and neither of us was looking for anything serious. We've been married 7.5 years. I think it's working out. :-) |

I just calculated it. When (not if!) my husband and I reach goal, we will have
lost 255lbs. That's only ten lbs short of my start weight! We will have lost a whole me!! I'd love to get down to 1/2 the woman I was (132.5lbs) but getting to 140 (or even under 150!) will be just fine with me! LOL LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 265/231/140 & hubby- 310/258/180 |

We'll get there, together. I'm anxious to get under 200 lbs...I haven't been there since I was about 19 years old. Sooooo close. I predict....Wednesday. After that, I think that I am within a month of moving to pre-maintenance. Honestly, getting to this point (and I don't just mean the last 5 months of doing Atkins) has been so long in coming that this almost doesn't seem real. I've got to, again, thank the supportive folks here; you've helped make this easier than I ever thought possible. Though I still have much work in front of me in terms of transitioning to maintenance and staying at maintenance weight, I have little doubt at this point that I will be successful. Geez, this feels good. And, I have to admit a certain streak of vanity as it is nice to look good again too. -- JJ. 275/201/183 - as of 1/30/2004 Atkins since 9/1/2003 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jjsmythe/my_photos Almost 2/3's the man I used to be! |
