One year at Buddy Slim and look where’s it got me
Good Morning Buddies,
One year ago today is when I found Buddy Slim and began my weight loss journey, my new lifestyle.
In the last while as this date was nearing I was hoping that I’d reach 100 pounds lost by the one year anniversary and I am so close at 94 lbs.
That’s been a bit disappointing I must admit.
I will reach that 100 pound weight loss goal but for now I am just going to really be proud of how far I’ve come.
Proud of the fact that I didn’t give up even though there have been some really difficult times.
Proud of the changes that I have made, ones that I plan to keep for life.
Proud that I’ve kept going even though at times it can be so overwhelming.
I know I still have a long way to go but I also know now that I can do it.
That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, not by any means.
Getting started was the biggest step.
Realizing and accepting that this is something that’s going to take time has been one of the most important things for me and one thing that makes it possible for me to keep going.
Otherwise it’s just too easy to feel defeated.
I have people ask me now how I lost this much weight.
Sticking with it. That’s what it takes.
Yup I have down times, yup I have times when I don’t want to exercise and times when I eat badly.
But even when I fall or slip I get back up and carry on. You have to. There really is no other option.
I am blessed to have so many incredibly supportive buddies.
I hope that I am able to help you in even the smallest way to reach your goals.
We are in this together and it sure does help knowing we aren’t alone doesn’t it?
I really had no idea when I began this journey just how much it would mean to me to have such support nor did I even know it was possible.
Thank you my buddies
Big Fat Hugs (even though we are getting skinny, lmao)

Wow 94lbs is still amazing. I also have a goal of 100lbs in 1 year. Still about 5 months to go but I’m working on it. And even if you are still 6 lbs short for now the fact that you got that far and are still loosing is an inspiration! You know now that you can do it and you will.
That is an awesome job…very impressive and a huge inspiration…thanks for sharing…

Congratulations Lori,
I was the one who asked you all those questions and you told me that there was no miracle, just work and determination.
Amazing! Congratulations again!
Great job Lori! You should celebrate the fact that you stuck with it! That sometimes is the hardest part. You will reach your goal of 100 lbs very soon if you keep that determination. COngratulations!!!!
94 pounds is OUTSTANDING!!!
I can’t believe you are a “bit” dissapointed. LOL
It takes guts and as you said, just plain “sticking with it” to accomplish what you have.
What an inspiration you are. Congratulations on your AWESOME achievement!
Huggggggggggs,
Shan
Congratulations! That’s AWESOME! You will make it to your 100 loss mark very, very soon!
Congratulations to you Lori. You have come a long way in a year! That is great!! You are right, sticking with it is what gets you there. You have always helped to encourage me. Thanks for being a great buddy and here is to another year! Awesome job Lori!
Yay for you! Hooray! You do really ROCK! ^lbs will come soon but for now you have that great skill - tenacity - the not giving up - the pick yourself back up mentality. You are success!
WOW 94 pounds! I’m so impressed. Keep it up b/c 100 is just around the corner for you!
SUPER!!! Great job. The last few will come. Hang in there. Hugs, Marge
What an inspiration you are! I hope I can write a post very similar to that in about a year. I am almost exactly the weight that you were a year ago, so, you have given me hope!! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss goals.
94 pounds! You go girl!
Wow Lori! 94 Lbs!! You’re AMAZING!!!
It’s people like you, who show us that it CAN be done that help us realize we can do it to!
Bless you!
Congrats on the 94 lbs! That’s awesome!!
You’ve come so far and you’ll continue to do great!
Girl!! 94!!! That is amazing!! You will get there, soon I know it!
I am totally jealous, girl! Congrats on the 94 pounds. I hope that someday I will be able to bring in good numbers such as that one. Your positive attitude is contagious. I love reading your blogs. =) Keep it up!
OMG LORI!! Congrats! 94 lbs is NOTHING to be disappointed about! I am incredibly impressed and inspired! HUGS!!!
Girl, I had no idea you had come so far. You are my new inspiration. 6 lbs. is nothing. It’s like a bag of sugar and a pack of lunch meat. I cannot wait to copy your words, “94 lbs.” Don’t discount what you’ve accomplished just because you are a tiny bit short of your goal. Reach around and pat yourself on the back because you deserve it!!! Celebrate your accomplishment!
Love those fat hugs
You have come so far and the last few will come slower I suspect. But the truth is, your lifestyle is what I say deserves 5 stars ***** - Yes the weight loss is phenomenal, but your lifestyle is what is going to keep you fit and happy. Have a great weekend Lori !
Yay for 94 pounds! Congrats on your one year anniversary!
Just wanted to let you know you’re a big inspiration to me! I hope to be you this time next year!
