I had been getting focu...Way to go Norm and Chile!<br /><br />I had been getting focused on the weight end of these changes and was hoping to be able to say - I lost 200 pounds by my birthday in late October, but that is 25 pounds away, so maybe by the start of the new year? I also started out with 300 pounds to lose, like you, Norm. I read your posts on the McDougall forum and am inspired by your story again and again. Thank you.<br /><br />Like you Norm, I can now wear 2X and am nearly in 1X in some things. It's so strange to look at myself in the mirror when I put on the clothes I used to wear and they really are huge. I can't quite comprehend that I used to fit into them - snugly even. Such a new experience.<br /><br />I love what you said, Chile, about seeing less and less of you over time.<br /><br />You both rock!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729723436226731656.post-60121188539990136542012-09-12T06:28:15.853-07:002012-09-12T06:28:15.853-07:00Congratulations on the smaller shirt size! Those a...Congratulations on the smaller shirt size! Those are some other great milestones coming up, too. <br /><br />I have a number that I am very close to:<br />1. With the loss of just 4 more pounds, I will weigh less than my husband (appropriate since he is taller than me).<br />2. At that same weight, I will weigh less than I have in approximately 27 years.<br />3. And, I will be 30 pounds from Dr. McDougall's suggested goal weight for me. Thirty pounds is much easier to visualize shedding than the over 100 pounds extra I started with back at the beginning of last year.<br /><br />Oh, and it dawned on me yesterday that I am currently two-thirds of the size I used to be. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue like your anticipated "half the man you used to be" but I do enjoy telling people they'll be seeing less and less of me over time. ;-)Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.com
