QUOTE: It is amazing that you CAN eat and without taking PILLS, you can lose weight. The tracker is helping me so much. Exactly! The fact that I eat more than 2,000 cals a day and am still dropping weight is wonderful. No pills, no starvation, no fads. It doesn't need to be hard and it doesn't need to be miserable. Thank you everyone, sincerely, for your comments. I've read and appreciated them all.

I love your story! I love your sense of humor (my husband has never heard of macaroni and cheese covered hot dogs, but I'll bet he tries them now! haha). Your story means a lot to me, because I have 125.5 lbs to go. I walk now, but not far. I do my strength training, but the weights are kind of pitiful. Sometimes it feels like I'm just a big joke at the gym (though no one at the Y would ever say that to me). I can't wait to wear a storyteller shirt! Hell, I can't wait until I can buy ANY shirt that is a L or smaller!
You are, most definitely, full of awesome!!!

Sometimes it feels like I'm just a big joke at the gym (though no one at the Y would ever say that to me). I can't wait to wear a storyteller shirt! Hell, I can't wait until I can buy ANY shirt that is a L or smaller! 1) I ate that mac and cheese topped hot dog at Ditch Plains in NY, but they were just what you think: hot dog, in bun, topped with mac and cheese ;) Oooh so good. 2) Pitiful weights are how we all start. You don't walk into the weight room, load a bar, put it on your back, and squat. You start off with wall sits. Then wall sits with weights in your hands. Then squats on the wall with a swiss ball behind your back. Then body weight squats. Then squats with hand weights. It's all a progression! When I look back at what I started out lifting I giggle. You'll do the same. It's all about progressive overload, my friend. 3) You are NOT a joke at the gym. First, no one is really paying attention to you. They are in their own little self-centered world. Second, if they are paying attention to you, they're not laughing at you. They're cheering you on in their head. They're thinking, "if she can do this, I can too." They're thinking, "that used to be me." You know, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they do see you more than you think. I go to my gym at pretty much the same time every day and often it's the same people. A lot of people over the last year have talked to me, told me I'm looking great, congratulated me, cheered me on. So I guess what I'm saying is: you're not a joke. You're an inspiration to them and someday they're going to let you know that. When I started at the gym, I made a choice to that gym-time is honeybadger time. I refused to give a $hit what people thought of me. honeybadger don't care ;) (google for the honeybadger video on youtube if you don't get the reference). Anyway, sorry for the ramble, I just want you to know that you can do it. Seriously. Just don't give up. You will see the results.
