#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Ok this is gonna sound odd, i so wanted to drop the extra lbs i was carrying, and i have... plus some!I was about 165 at xmas... i weighed myself yesterday and i was 140. I'm not just going on weight though. I had about a 28-29 inch waist, and 42" hips, plus was a solid 36 bust not sure what my thighs were.... now i'm a 23" waist, 34" hips and 33" bust and down to 22" in the thighs !#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley3.gif"#ed_cl# And while i feel awesome... it is starting to be a supreme pain cause none of my jeans fit like they did before(yes i know that was bound to happen) having one of my favorite pairs of jeans now able to be pulled on and off without the buttons or zipper being undone is rather shocking to me! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I am doing some more physical labour now, but not all that much more than i was before, on the 2nd i trimmed 7 horses, and the weekend before i moved about 32 square bales of hay, loaded them in the truck and unloaded and stacked at my house. I'm not riding a ton thanks to the weather, so can't call that a contributing factor. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I am eating pretty good, i did cut a lot of extra stuff out of my life, namely bread, rarely eat it but everything else is norm. Drinking lots and actually the last 8 lbs i lost are since the massage theraphist was down, worked on me along with two horses.....#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Only other thing that i've changed since xmas is i got off Ortho Evra patch and now have been on Ortho tri-cyclen lo for 4 full months(starting #5). Could that have anything to do with it? I look really healthy, everyone that has seen me lately has been commenting on how healthy and good i look and trying to figure out what's changed....#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So yes i've shared my good news that i surpassed my goal of getting back down to 145lb, and have lost inches that i really wanted to lose. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#How is everyone else? hope everyone is happy healthy and feeling good!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
