Morning! I have a hard time not weighing every morning...the way I see it, I expect the scale to go up and down and it always goes back down eventually, and what would I do if after a week it was up? Then I think I would be more sad than if it was just up one day...IDK...but don't ask me...if my thinking was normal about all this, I wouldn't be here in the first place.

Oh, and feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about being a little bit further out in the process...but I just wanted to say that you're doing a great job if you're down 17 pounds! Keep up the great work!

Hi valleygirl! Thanks for adding me as a friend. I saw that you're stuck after only 17 pounds in a month...lol. What I wouldn't give for those numbers again!! I don't think anything is wrong...remember that your body is going to lose weight in spurts...it's not a steady downward track for most of us...I lose 5 pounds one week then nothing for 10 days...that sort of thing. Chin up!

I certainly hope we can get to goal by August...lol. If not, I'll probably cry just a little bit. But, I need to focus on the positive, right? 76 down, only 20 to go. And you have even less until a normal BMI, you little stinker. Lol. Have a great day and chat with you soon!

Hi there! Thanks for adding me as a friend! Congrats on your loss to date...keep it up!

Well, 20 pounds to goal....it's pretty cool how fast this has gone! I just don't know what to think about how long it will take to get the rest of the way...hopefully by Sept! My sis asked me to be her maid of honor!!

What do you guys think is a reasonable amount of time to expect until I hit goal?? I want to be realistic about it and set a goal that I can accomplish...I have 21 pounds to go...

Hey! Thanks for being my friend...lol. I'm just always looking for more support people - congrats on your loss so far! -Andrea

I'm with you - slow going now at this point in time. I have 21 pounds until a normal BMI, and I'm getting excited because it's so close, but am also frustrated at how slowly I've been losing compared to before. But, sticking to what we know works for us will get us to our goals! In a few months we'll look back and laugh at how we were worried about not hitting goal, right? Lol...have a great day

Officially at 75 pounds lost. Woooo!

Thanks for the encouragement!! I've really only gone down a pound or two since the end of November, and it's just rough because I'm not used to it!! But, I'm trying to be patient and stay with the plan...hopefully it will work! Congrats on breaking your stall!

Can someone remind me that we alternate losing inches and pounds? My stupid scale is not moving and I'm getting worried that it's going to stop moving...sigh

Hey hon! I've been stuck FOREVER! lol...I've been fluctuating between 170 and 175 for over a month...but like you said, at least we're not going up. If I maintain over the holidays and start losing again right after, I'll be good. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! My present to myself - another pound lost. 169! Yippee!

Hey lady! Congrats on being over 100 pounds lost!!! Woo hoo!! Feels great, I bet! Have a great day!

Hey chica! You're half way there!!! Way to go! Keep up the great work!!

Hey hon! I'm doing wonderful - especially today! Hit the milestone of 175 which officially means I'm no longer obese!! Words can't express how grateful I am to be this happy and healthy...so I'm sure to be in a good mood all day today! Fill me in on your progress...how are things going??

I'm there! I'm there! Woooo! 175! No longer obese!! I'll take overweight vs. obese any day. I feel great!!

only 2 more pounds and then I'm no longer considered obese! overweight I can handle! lol...32 to goal!

60 pounds lost! So happy today!

ugh...stalling...i know that this happens, but it's more frustrating the last week or so than normal...i just want to be in the 170s...

That's really amazing, Deb! So happy that you're having great success too! I love the happy stories that everyone has to share, and the fact that so many of us are changing our lives for the better! Keep plugging away and we'll be there soon!

Thanks, hon! I'm so ridiculously happy lately...I was in size 22 jeans before surgery, and now my 16s are getting too big!! This whole process is just so amazing...fill me in on how things are going for you!! Are you feeling happy w your progress to date?

Hey girl! You're doing great! Looks like we both have 40 pounds to go!!
