Congrats!!! I remember losing my first 30 lbs and my walking was faster and sexier.

I have 47 more lbs to my goal. If I'm happy with just 37 lbs, I'll leave it @ that. My Dr. wants me to get down to 170, and its been over 25 yrs since I've been that weight. I started @ 285 and never thought I would be to where I am today. Just take it one day/pound @ a time. You'll get there. I am

Good for you. What an beautiful feeling. My favorite quote to date is I don't like skinny women. And I was 12 lbs heavier than I am now. Keep it up. I sure am.

You're on. I too have gotten lazy w/exercise. Now I'm ready to get back on track. See u @ the finish line.

I just read this post and these tips will definelty come in hand. I think I just got over a bad blockage because I lost 11 pounds in 9 days. Boy do I feel much better today. I couldnt eat or drink anything. And the night time acid reflux was killing me. I finally broke down and brought some more Prevacid. I took one last night before dinner and didnt have any issues last night. I sleep like a Queen. Prevacid is the only acid blocker that works for me.

I enjoy just about everything the same, except SHRIMP....it makes me want to puke just typing about it. And I use to love me some shrimp. Oh and since we're not supposed to have steak or chops, I'm always craving them, but eat maybe once a month. And I have to make sure I CHEW, CHEW, CHEW.
