[momtothepoob]

YESYESYES!!!!

[katiejuly]

Ha! So exciting!!!

[sparklepinklady]

You live 5 blocks from the gym? and you walk it? Thats exercise on top of exercise. Thats fantastic, how great for you !!! Lori

[katiejuly]

Yup, five blocks in the city. I think of it as my warm up and cool down and it helps trim my time on the machines (yay!)

[GoalUnder50kg]

Congrats! This video actually motivates me to exercise, thank you! You've got to let me know more about this $80 gym bag... what brand is it, etc? hehe

[katiejuly]

It's a lululemon bag - they're a yoga company. Maybe by this time next year I'll be shopping for yoga pants instead of sweating along in my plus-size Old Navy :)

[OMCV04]

OMG!!!! You are so awesome! I am so proud of you! I am 2 lbs from 40 lbs and I so hoping I make it by week 5, next week. Though AF is coming on the 1st, so I am not sure if it will happen or not. NSV - I am so looking forward to getting on the plane in June, when we go to Nigeria. Then I will not have to ask for an extender and be able to pull down the lap table!

[katiejuly]

40 pounds?! WOO HOO!

[freshorangina]

Congratulations!!!! That's awesome!!!

[katiejuly]

Thanks! So excited!

[Fabydee]

Congrats Katie you are doing awesome! I bet you're not wondering why you did this to yourself right now are you? Way to go, keep up the good work... PS non-scale victories are the best, Fab

[watchmegetskinny]

I was just going to ask her if she was glad she did it ... :D you beat me to it!

[katiejuly]

Doubt-free, AJ. I think my worst doubts are when I'm bent over the sink barfing. Every time I step on the scale, though, it's like WHOOPEE!

[katiejuly]

Yep, not doubting myself for a second :)

[gastricRose]

WTG!! Congrats on making your goal + a few :) I've been slacking on wearing my pedo since I'm doing the running training. Need to get back to wearing it every day. Cheers! Tom

[katiejuly]

Thanks, mister!

[shrinkinglaura]

I've never really watched your videos before but I have subscribed now and you are SO CUTE. Congrats on the 51lbs :D:D!!!

[katiejuly]

Aw, thanks lady! I love your vids.

[AJC0402]

O...M...G....JEALOUS!!! and very proud of you!

and 50lbs is actually larger than a toddler. My 3 yr old is about 35 lbs and my 7 yr old (who is a very small 7 yr old, but that's not the point)...is 47 lbs!!

You lost a skinny, short 7 year old!!

I'm still at around a 14 month old....sigh....

WTG!!

Aviva

[katiejuly]

A small 7-year-old? I'LL TAKE IT! I can't believe at the end of this journey I'll have lost a slim 20-something!
