I am a very happy woman this morning!
After a year of trench warfare, I’m finally out of the 140’s (kilograms)! I weighed in at 139.6 kg this morning, which is a loss of exactly 2 kg. In Imperial I now weigh 307.1 pounds, having lost 4.4 pounds this week.
Goodbye 140’s! You’ll never see me again! Ever!
Join me in a happy dance!
Remember that this is despite TOM!
And remember, I’m NEVER hungry! I eat a LOT! I’ve fallen into a very happy routine when it comes to eating, drinking and exercising. I’m also enjoying trying out new recipes every day and most of them are really delicious and will appear on the website.
I have been experiencing some detox symptoms, but I understand what’s happening in my body, so I’m not alarmed. And overall I’m feeling amazing! My skin is awesome and I have no rashes at present.
My size 28 jeans have become totally unwearable… even with a belt. They are just too baggy. I don’t even have to unfasten them, I can just pull them up and down over my hips. I’m going to keep one pair for the obligatory me-in-my-fat-pants photo, but the others I’ m giving away. I’m not hanging on to suitcases full of fat clothes! I still have thin clothes from 20 years ago… which I doubt I’ll ever wear. But it will be fun to try them on and take some pics, won’t it?
This past week, we made the switch from bottled water to filtered water and I bought myself a lovely red stainless steel water bottle. Can’t wait to use it in the gym today. I’m reducing my exposure to plastics, saving money and even the environment is happy!
I’m having great fun on the Fab Fatties’ Challenge and starting another challenge today – Kim’s Between Seasons Summer Challenge. It’s not too late to sign up for either of these, so if you need a little extra motivation, click through and join in!
Then, if you’re in need of a little cash (who isn’t?) you should head on over to John Is Fit. He’s just giving it away! You can win up to $250 when you enter his competition! Excuse me while I beat you to it… Have you seen the size of my wish list on Amazon.com?
Have a great week!

I’m thrilled for you, Hanlie! Well done! If you don’t mind, I’ll wait until later to do my dance. It’s just passing 5;30 a.m. here, and I might hurt something doing that much moving this early.
Keep up the great efforts and the fantastic attitude!

Awesome! Sounds like you are really doing it the right way– not starving yourself, just eating the right stuff.
You should throw those old jeans away! They’re not you anymore, and you’re never going back. Keeping them just in case leaves open the possibility in your mind that you might one day need them again.

Congrats and hooray! Wow Hanlie you are so close to being even out of the 300 range. Pretty soon you will be telling us that you are in the 200’s – that is going to be sooo amazing I am sure to see all your wonderful changes paying off so well!
And I totally agree with not keeping the big clothes – no point when others can use them to keep looking at a symbol of where you do not want to be. One pair for fun is good, but the rest … think of it this way, you will never were again so why hang onto them!
Love your energy and enthusiasm about all these changes – big hugs to you

Hi Hanlie!
I just found your blog via in the RAW…. and I want to cry…. my husband and I just went thru a long and painful pregnancy journey (I am almost 39 (was 35 when we started) and he is now 49. OH MY GOSH I want to give you a huge hug!!!!!
I think our pregnancy spurred my recent health food kick (kind of cuz I have always loved nutrition) but I really pay attention now.
we do have a very beatuiful 15 month old son now (and my 15 year old!) and just know it will all work out lovely for you….so many people tell me “SEE I TOLD YOU THAT BABY WOULD COME” we almost gave up.
my thoughts are with you and your husband and I really like your cheery blog… will give it a good read !
