In case you are not checking the weight loss on my sidebar please note that I just hit 75 pounds yesterday! Yes, that's right, 75! Thirteen and a half months, that 5.5 pounds a month or 1.3 pounds a week. But who's counting?
I know this is not a good photo of me but it's new so there you go. And yes, I have makeup on my waddle. Plenty of it actually but still... It feels pretty awesome.
I looked at the pills I took this morning and the only thing left in there are supplements. You know, Osteo Bi-flex, calcium, B12, D (well that's in the calcium), fish oil, baby aspirin. Oh, and one prescription, my Zoloft. I can come off that any time I want but thought I'd stay on it for the first year after Sarge.
How fabulous is that? Gone are all the rest! That's why I have to go back to see Dr. Wacks today, more blood work just to make sure I'm doing as great as I think I am without any meds.
This is the lowest weight I have been in 20 years. I only wish I had done it sooner. I know I aged myself carrying that weight around all those years. But what's done is done and forward I go. Are you with me?
Wow. GO YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteOh you look beautiful Bee! You have done fabulously well and are such an inspiration. The added bonus of being able to come off your meds is marvelous. :)
ReplyDeleteBrava! Brava! Brava!
ReplyDeleteYAY you! And teal is such a great color for you, btw.
I just did the math and although mine seems to be coming off slower than I'd like I've averaged 5.75#s per month. So YAY!
And thanks for the inspiration.
Love, a Bee Bandwagoneer xoxo
Woo hoo! You look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it has been a little crazy here ... but I have been thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteWe have been back to whatever is normal for a week, but some lives have been changed forever. I will be catching up on Bee stuff ... But just let me say ... YOU LOOK MAHVELOUS! I am so proud of you. I hit 50 lbs after 12 months and it feels great!
Love you
Roberta
And that is NOT Gabriella writing ... She is my student and I am too lazy to change it on my iPad
ReplyDeletelook at your lovely collar bones!! Ya have bone good struck-cha darling!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! I really need to get on the Bee Bandwagon - I have a bunch to lose before my 50th high school reunion sometime next year (hope it's in the second half of the year!).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations my beautiful, fabulous, lovely friend Bee. Mary Lou and I looked at the photo That I took when I first met you and Charlie on the Valor and wow, you have looked great on your weight loss. It's you that changed me also. What a woman. Thanks my wonderful friend. Without you I'd still be 235 lbs and whatever. Today I'm 209 and losing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You look wonderful. How awesome to be off of your medicines. You are a real inspiration. Congratulations on getting healthy.
ReplyDeleteFantabulous!
ReplyDeleteI know Sarge would be so very proud of you. I know I am so very proud of you.
You look marvelous!!!!! I am going to start working a little harder now, thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great so there. Seventy five pounds is awesome too. I'm so proud of you. You'll get where you want to go and you'll not have to take medication either. Your exercises help a great deal too. Way to go honey.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost time for your cruise too. I'm going with you, but I always go with you.
Have a terrific day honey. Big hugs. :)
You look FAB-U-lous, dahling. There will be less to hug in January:)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, honey...
Congratulations, Empress Bee! You look fabulous and I expect you feel that way, too. Onward we go...

ReplyDeleteCiao cara Bee
ReplyDeleteWhat to say? It's marvellous, you could do the diet with a new energy, swimming and more time outdors helped you.
I'm so glad that other friends could follow your example!
Paul too!!!
Big hugs...
excuse the deleted comment, I had made so many mistakes!
Tired!!!
You are beautiful! So happy for you. 75 pounds is a major thing! When I lose 75, I'll only have 45 to go.
ReplyDeleteQuestion- What does fish oil do? Have a great day...~Sandy~
Congratulations. I couldn't lose 75 pounds -- I don't think that would be healthy for me to weigh now what I weighed in my early 20s. But I could do with losing 20, 30, 40... 50?
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it's almost the holidays. I'll have to be content with just not gaining 20, 30, 40... 50?
Congratulations on the big accomplishment. Thanks to you I have averaged a loss of 2.2 pounds per week, 8.8 pounds per month!
ReplyDeleteBee, You look so good. You should be taking a bow...it was hard work and you did it. You are amazing. Your health is so much better. Enjoy your holiday. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeletewhen i first started crossfit, they told me that they could calculate my body's biological age. i think they did it based on my weight, BMI, eating and lifestyle habits, my heart rate after exercise, etc. the cool thing about a biological age is that it can go either forward or backward depending on your health and exercise routine... so maybe you pushed that biological age forward for a number of years, but damn if you're not bringing it wayyyy back! :]
ReplyDeleteyou look hott. with two Ts.
You are beautiful. And the best thing is that it's inside and out!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Bee, you are beautiful no matter what. As for the wings you have acquired, I have them too, but just remember, we don't walk around with our arms out to our sides for everyone to see them.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs I am off to do some baking.
