I have dropped a full size just from lifting weights and kick-boxing.

I still eat for shit, but I can only change on thing at a time. That will be next, when all this becomes habit.

Six more sizes to go - but I can now shop in standard department stores and Ann Taylor. This has not been true in some years.

Further updates as events warrant.

Congratulations! That's wonderful. Big fat virtual pat on the back!

Slightly *less* fat pat on the back! :-D

Thank you so much. Encouragement helps.

Congratulations! That is great. Exercise works. I know this. I dropped 35 pounds by walking and then running without changing my eating habits at all. You won't lose it all that way, but you'll make a good start. Go you!

I'm so glad you're feeling good about this! (And isn't kickboxing fun?)

Date: 2006-03-19 11:57 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tzikeh.livejournal.com
Kickboxing is fun - but mostly right now kickboxing is ten minutes of kickboxing followed by me lying on the floor going "why did I want to do this, again?"

I'm delighted that you're working out and that you're happy with the results. Yay, health and self-esteem!

Yay indeed! More more more.

From: [identity profile] missmurchison.livejournal.com
Yay! Exercising is the only way to do it. Once you get in the habit, it's self-sustaining, which is why I'm trying to get into my yoga again. I know once I start to be more active, my diet will take care of itself. I stop craving a sugar buzz for energy and grab healthier food.

From: [identity profile] tzikeh.livejournal.com
Yeah re: cravings. I find myself craving fruits and veg, and not so much McDonalds anymore. Which is ... weird.

I'm thrilled for you!! I just lost 18lbs and I just started kickboxing also.
I'm just weeks away from buying something/anything from any store I walk into.

Congratulations!

Excellent! Your dolphin says it all.

I just decided last night to start weight training again myself, and this confirms it.

Woohoo!

I dropped 25 pounds and gained a lot of muscle through intensive yoga and using diet journaling to stop myself from overeating. It feels so good to try stuff on in the size you want. Also, to kick ass. *g*

Date: 2006-03-20 01:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] tzikeh.livejournal.com
Yes and yes! Kicking ass = big plus. Though right now the ass being kicked is mine. Baby steps, baby steps.

Go, Team You! I was watching Eddie Izzard last night (both "Dress to Kill" and "Circle" were on BBC America) and thinking of you -- and here you are!

Clearly, I should watch Eddie Izzard more often. ::nods firmly::
