OK, haven't checked in since I joined, but finally hit 100.6 yesterday. One day to spare haha!
Last month I logged 120 (no idea how I managed that) so I am going to make that my November goal.
Loved following everyone's updates! Great job to all!

So happy to step on the scale this morning and POOF! 199.2lbs! I took a picture and texted it to my hubby I was so excited! Glad to join all of you that are there and encourage those that aren't yet, that you totally can be!
I'm down 81.4lbs total. Now, time to get to work on those other 49.2

Ah makes me too nervous! Please, please run this by your doctor/NUT before making the decision. I will not lie, I HATED puréed phase at the time, but I made it through and it literally seems like such a distant memory that I am embarrassed I was so dramatic about it in my head. I promise, you will feel the exact same way and be like "OK, it sucked but it was only a few days of my life." LOL
Like others suggested, get creative and use those Protein shakes if necessary!

Under 200 this morning! Yippee!
Surgery 5/29. 64.9lbs gone forever! 40 more to go! Whoo hoo!
(I'm a little excited)

That's awesome! Keep on doing what you're doing!
This week was pretty good for me, down 2.8. I'm 34 pounds away from 199. Got panicky last week that I couldn't do it. Just going to try my best and see what happens

OK, so the date went well! It wasn't knock my socks off amazing, but I would give it a 6.5-7. He actually is a lot funnier on the phone and in text. Maybe it was just because we hadn't seen each other in a while and it was a little awkward? Who knows? Anyways, the more important part is I felt great walking in there! I have quite a ways to go with my weight loss, but already feeling good at only about half way to my goal is more than I could have ever asked for.
Thank you all again for your words of encouragement! Have a great rest of the weekend!

OK, I can do this! Thank you all for the encouragement! Why does my mind always go here?
Light sweater, Bracelet, statement necklace and good attitude. I'll let you guys know how it goes :) thank you again!

Greetings, all,
I hit my first 50 lbs. gone this morning, and I wanted to post and say THANK YOU so much to all of you who have supported me through the process thus far. I realized looking over my posts that I most often post when something isn't going well, so I really feel it's important to also post to say thank you when things are going better.
Aside from my surgery and becoming a healthier me, one of my goals for this year was to become more generous of spirit and to show an attitude of gratitude far more often than I do (which is especially fitting considering the season we're heading into). Feel free to share if you have anything you're happy about or thankful for, as shared joy is multiplied and shared sorrow is lessened.
Have a great weekend!

LOLOLOL yes, of course! I will give a play-by-play tomorrow AM!

I downloaded this app called Waterlogged. Has helped me tremendously keep track of my Water intake. I'm a freak and ridiculously competitive (with myself) that it forces me to hit my 100% goal everyday LOL. Good luck!

Amazing job everyone! So proud to be part of this group!

I told myself when I hit 50 pounds I would get myself a new pair of gym shoes. Hit 51 last week, bought a snazzy new pair of running shoes yesterday and wore them tonight for the first time. Got out of the shower to find the below. SERIOUSLY? My dog that doesn't eat anything decides to destroy my brand new sneakers? I feel like crying right now
Going to feel sorry for myself for the night. Thank you for allowing me to vent

Amazing job everyone! So proud to be part of this group!
